Tasty bagels! If you're near River and like bagels, you should check out Bubbe's Fine Bagels. I've been here a handful of times and super busy on the weekends. They have bagels you can buy to go, ones you can ask to add smear or make into a sandwich and they'll cut in half and heat, too. The have various spreads/smears to add to your bagel or can purchase a small container to go. They also sell coffee and have small seats and tables outdoors. Not much seating inside, and it can get crowded when you sit inside when a line forms. This place is a must try if you're looking for a tasty bagel! read more

I never knew this location existed. It's right by the water fountain. I got the cinnamon sugar, honey lavender cream cheese with smoked salmon. Service was quick and it was a very long line but the wait was manageable. It's a more pick and go type. There's a few chairs outside but no room inside. read more

Came by Bubbe's about 45 mins before they closed for a snack with my son. He got the toasted chocolate swirl bagel with the peppermint and chocolate chunk smear. They are very generous with the cream cheese and with the toasted bagel, the combo was delicious! Some days we're able to buy day old bagels at a discount, but they didn't have any today. A number for us, but excited that they're selling out. With their additional locations around town, you're never far from an amazing locally made bagel. read more

We love Bubbe's bagels! They are the best in town, by far. I love the jalapeño cheddar bagel with the onion and chive cream cheese, as my go-to order. Add an egg if you're feeling fancy. Their bagels are chewy but with a soft/fluffy interior, just how I like them. Don't miss out on their monthly specials, which usually include a fun bagel of the month and a coordinating cream cheese. This month's bagel (November) is a cheesy potato bagel with caramelized onion cream cheese. It is too die for, the perfect savory/salty/sweet combination. We will be back before month end for another one for sure! Food comes out quick, I have no complaints about service but seating can be a little limited especially on weekends. Majority of their seating is outside and is lacking adequate shade, especially in hot summer months. Other than that, we love this place read more

Tried Bubbe's for the first time. It's a small to go spot with very little seating. We are not from the area. My wife frequently travels here and recommended to me. However, it was everything she said it would be. The bagels had the perfect texture, nice size, with freshly cooked ingredients. I hade the bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. The crispy bacon paired well with the soft cooked eggs and perfectly melted cheese. If you are ever in the area. Give Bubbe's a try. read more

Good bagels, and from my understanding they make their own cream cheese flavors. I got the lox open faced sandwich and the berry basil lemonade. I love smoked salmon so it's a no brainer that I loved this sandwich. The basil berry lemonade (made in house) grew on me. At first I didn't like it because the flavor of basil was strong but after a few sips I ended up enjoying it. I also got half a dozen and picked up their Calabrian cream cheese. My husband got the Rueben but he ate it so quick so I didn't get a picture. It was good though. I've been to both locations and both are very small with not really anywhere to sit and eat but outside. I would go here again. read more

I finally got around to trying Bubbe's and it definitely lived up to the hype! I got a plain toasted bagel with plain cream cheese and found that the texture and density of the bagel was really well rounded and that the cream cheese was both creamy and flavorful. One thing to note is that seating, especially on a weekend morning, can be extremely limited and is outdoors. Luckily, my party found a table but it's definitely something to keep on mind. Overall, the service was great and it was a nice, quick breakfast spot with very filling offerings. read more

We've only been to Bobby's bagels a few times but every single time we really enjoy it. I'm so thankful that somebody locally has a really great vegan cream cheese to put on the bagels, being non-dairy. This makes it such a great experience to still be able to get a quality bagel and spread. The service is always great and quick, the bagels are always delicious and they have some other drink options available for those you're interested. They're seating on the outside patio area and on the inside this is also a really great option if you're looking for a large quantity of bagels for events. read more

Was driving through Tucson and recommended this place by CK's cousin who has previously lived here. After recently coming back from NYC - nothing can compete with them. I've also learned there is a difference between schmear and cream cheese. Located in a plaza with plenty of parking, this storefront is located by a fountain. There is limited seating inside (~4-5) and a few outdoor seating. Got an onion bagel w/ chive & green onion schmear to-go before I hit the road again. Loved that it was soft and toasty when I received it, as it was a bit easier to bite into. The chive & green onion schmear enhanced the flavor and you can really taste it. According to CK's cousin, this place is one of the best in the area. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and some things were already out for the day. But luckily, I was planning on keeping it more on the simple side anyway. I was ordering for some other people and figured I could get a sweet and savory to try/share. I got a jalapeño cheddar bagel with Calabrian chili schmear, which was the perfect savory bagel to me! But the cinnamon crunch and lavender schmear were SO good together! Definitely need to try more of their combinations. read more

Absolutely the best bagels. Just the right amount of chew. The cream cheese is spot on and you should try the monthly special bagel.

Listen.. every opportunity I get to go to Bubbe's I go.. I love the Lox bagel and their egg and cheese sandwich. Everyone is always so nice and the restaurant is very cute.. read more

It had been a while since my last trip to Bubbe's and the bagels are as good as ever. Went in on a Saturday and the place was packed with U of A students. If you want to ensure you don't miss out on any of the flvors, get there early or order online for bulk bagel orders and schmear. The bagels are chewy on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside and super filling. Their smoked salmon is the best I've had in town. I love ordering a 4oz side of it. Very limited seating inside with some tables outside but it's not shaded. The staff are always welcoming and happy to answer questions. read more

I have a few new favorite items. First, the egg salad, which can be purchased in an 8 or 16 oz container but also as a bagel sandwich is SO good. There's the perfect amount of mayo to bind it, so it's not overpowering. For the breakfast bagel sandwich, I love adding the smoked salmon cream cheese or the Calabrian chili cream cheese if I'm feeling spicy (it has a big kick). Either of those on a breakfast sandwich takes it over the top. Keep up the good work Bubbes. read more

Had such a yummy bacon egg and cheese sandwich! Friendly service and efficient I will be back!!

Being from the New York/New Jersey area, my wife and I have definite ideas about what is a good bagel. It has to be crisp when you bite into it and very flavorful. We were pleasantly surprised b that Bubbie's Fine bagels met these criteria. I had a Sesame bagel that was well covered on both sides. My wife's Everything bagel, her favorite, was very Everything. We did not have much time to explore as we stopped on the way home. We toasted the bagels at home and they came out nicely crisper. We added our own butter and cream cheese and they were very tasty. read more

We had heard about this place on the local news and we just had to give it a try. New York style Bagels were the best I've ever tasted! You can watch how they're made. The staff were very pleasant and courteous. Very clean business. We left with a dozen bagels. Will be back, you can count on it! Give it a try, you will be pleased. read more

Fast service, good bagels, great cream cheese flavors. I am not a fan of salmon but decided I wanted it today and I almost finished it which was surprising for me. Not skimpy with the fish that's for sure. Really loved the onions and tomato, really elevated it for me read more

Bubbe's has become one of my Tucson staples! Every time I go the bagels have been excellent and everything in them is extremely fresh. The staff is always friendly and efficient. I love sitting outside by the fountain to enjoy the bagels in the sun. On this past trip I ordered the chive & green onion schmear with cucumber and tomato on a rye bagel. My dad ordered the egg and cheese with ham on an everything bagel and really enjoyed it. On my last trip to Bubbe's my brother had gotten the Calabrian Tuna on pumpernickel and he tells me, months later, that he thinks about how good his sandwich was from time to time! Bubbe's will always hit the spot, leaving you satisfied and happy. It is a must try and a must return! read more

Fermented kettle boiled bagels- yes please!!! In addition to bagels, they also have several bagel sandwiches and schmears. I am partial to plain bagels in general but the family all has their equally good favorites. Neither location has any indoor seating but nothing will stop you from hanging outside and having one of their delicious sandwiches freshly made. Of note, due to people standing outside waiting on their food (or enjoying it), it appears that the line is longer That what it may be... and even if there is a line, service is prompt and you will not have to wait long to get your order in. Now if you are ordering a sandwich.. there maybe a wait to get it fixed... but for routine to go orders (non- sandwich)... it's quick. read more

Bubbe's has terrific bagels!!!! I'm to me it's better for spring, winter or fall, summer is too hot and there is nowhere really to sit inside. The staff is friendly and they get what you need quickly. Most people get it to go it seems, for the price I would like somewhere to sit. This location is better than the other, more parking and there are tables in the front but a lot of time it's just too hot. The one on Wilmot is always filled with screaming babies and strollers, and way too frenetic for me. Either way the bagels are really good. I usually forget to check in and take pictures, I get the food and I'm happy. read more

I tried the plain toasted bagel with plain cream cheese, which was good, and the everything bagel with chive and green onion cream cheese. Unfortunately, the everything bagel was extremely salty--I couldn't eat it. There's minimal seating inside, and it's way too hot to sit at the outdoor tables during the summer. It was also extremely warm inside the shop, as if there's no AC. If you're visiting during the summer, I'd recommend grabbing your order to go. read more

Great bagels! Top quality just like a true kosher deli in NYC or (Boston) where im from and live half the year!

We visited this spot at about 9:15 on a Sunday morning. There is only a few stools in the inside so we sat outside. It was an early morning but sunny day so it was ok. It was myself, my husband our friends and their two kids. The order was two cinnamon sugar bagels with plain cheese, one garlic bagel with chive cream cheese, avocado & red onion, an everything with egg, bacon, red onion, chive and green onion cream cheese. My husband and I both got an everything bagel toasted, I got plain cream cheese, and he got the Calabrian chili cream cheese, with pastrami and egg. All the bagels were toasted well and crispy and chewy on the outside and soft but still a bit of chew on the inside. When you pushed them together (ie eating like a sandwich) all the toppings stayed in plave and the bagel did get flat. The best thing, the Calabrian chili cream cheese with pastrami. Normally my husband gets a sausage Patty, but since they didn't have that, the pastrami provided a nice salt flavor. Service was quick and the crew was kind! Would visit again for sure! read more

I came in 9:15am on a Friday. It was pretty empty. The place is small and like previous reviewers have said there's seating outside and is really meant for a quick stop and go. Cashier was friendly and patient. I appreciated that. I decided on the sandwich with an everything bagel (6.75) with bacon (2.5). The egg was fluffy and amazing. One slice of thick bacon. It was very salty but it balanced the sandwich. It comes with cheese and you have the choice of cheddar or Monterey Jack. I went with the latter. The bagel was good. I liked the texture. It was perfectly seasoned and had good flavor. I also got a cup of coffee (2.45). I liked my coffee. A good strong cup. I didn't try one of their cream cheeses but this purchase ran me higher than I wanted to. I'm not sure I'd come back. It's indulgent and expensive. The sandwich was good but not $10 good. I'd give it 3.5 read more

This has been a regular weekend meetup spot with friends but I'm just now getting around to reviewing it after having the open face lox bagel sandwich. Bubbe's makes the best bagels with unique daily creations like banana bread, pretzel, and everything egg bagels. My go-to is a toasted everything bagel with salmon or onion and chive cream cheese and it's consistently great every time. The open face lox is easily their best offering and worth every penny. It's always packed with lines out the door some days, so you have to hit a sweet spot on when to go otherwise expect a bit of a wait. But service is always friendly and they work as fast as they can. I guess I'd have to say with its popularity I hope they expand to a bigger location someday even though their current location at Campbell and River is conveniently down the road from me. I would be willing to travel a little farther for a bigger space, easier line formation, and more seating. They have ~3 stools inside but it's always crowded with a line so most end up outside, though it's trickier in the summertime when it's 95-105 out. Regardless, this is easily one of the best bagel/breakfast spots in town and I'll continue to be a regular as long as they stick around. read more

Came here on a busy Saturday morning and the bagels still came to us very quickly! The perfect way to start a day of hiking- tasty bagels with a good amount of filling! Since they were double wrapped, they were great to take on the go! read more

This place is 100% worth the hype! As a self proclaimed bagel enthusiast this place was a must stop on a recent trip into Tucson. My mom and I had bagels with schmear for breakfast and they were so good we took a half dozen home. They have unique schmears such as honey lavender cream cheese- it was a busy Saturday morning and I asked for a sample, and they happily provided me one, and I was sold and ending up buying this deliciously unique cream cheese to take home. Highly reccomended for delicious bagels and top notch customer service. read more

I'm so glad they opened one closer to me. It was hard to make it all the way to the east side. I have not been to the other bagel places since I've discovered this place. The bagels are so fresh and they give you an awesome amount of cream cheese! So good! read more

Line was long, but wait was tolerable. The bagels I chose (sesame with cream cheese) were excellent! At some point, I'd wondered if the line would be worth the wait. It was!

I tried Bubbe's Bagels for the first time recently. I'm not local to Tucson but I visit family there frequently. Everything on the menu looked delicious.
