Came right when they opened at 7 and there were already a few cars in the parking lot. Quick service and friendly staff. The bagels have a harder exterior - so if you eat them when they cool down even a bit, the bite becomes very difficult to chew through. The nosh sandwich was quite delicious! Would opt for their sandwiches next time. Great place to get a hearty breakfast before heading out for the day! read more

As a first time visitor to Traverse City, this bagel shop came highly recommended! As I arrived around 9am on Saturday morning there was a line out the door. I ended up waiting about 15 minutes until I got up to the counter to order. After I ordered I only waited about 5 minutes for my bagels to be ready. They really had quick service which was awesome! The inside of the restaurant is small, making it tight when the line gets long and people are waiting for their food. The staff were super friendly and personable which really made the experience better. I ordered the nosh which I enjoyed! The bagel did eat a little tough and chewy in my opinion but the sandwich as a whole was tasty. They have a wide variety of bagels and cream cheese, making the menu diverse. I would return to this place to try another bagel sandwich in the future! read more

So we came with this on our hitlist, as we are always looking for great new bagel spots. We ordered this in advanced since we heard it gets very busy. When I went to pick it up, there was a line out the door! Thankfully our meal was already ready to pickup. I got the BLT bagel (seasonal item) and man it was loaded! Lots of cream cheese, veggies and bacon. The most important part is the bagels themselves are fantastic. Just the right amount of bite to chewy ratio. The price was right on the spot to what I'd expect from a bagel sandwich. Check this place out and make sure to put an online order to avoid the wait. read more

Super friendly atmosphere from the second you enter the door. They great regulars by name an say thank you when they pick up their bags. This is the type of place you wish they had tables so you could bask in the ambiance of the place! They have daily specials and different things they rotate and try out. They had a cowboy bagel sandwich available with beer cheese and roast beef. Sounded amazing! Some chocolate banana cream cheese... and fresh oatmeal cream pies on the weekend! I ended up with a Za'harha bagel with cream cheese and a fig Regulash (sp). They have the sweetest sign on there door about being in the breakfast club! I love this so much and can't wait to visit TC again to support this kind of community atmosphere! read more

Paid extra for cheddar cheese and it was COLD and they put much less cream cheese even though I didn't ask for less. Plus I picked up 7 minutes after ordering so they just didn't warm it up enough. Very frustrating considering I need to eat this on the go and tipped over 20%. read more

I heard this place gets busy, so I placed my order online. It was so easy! I drove over to grab them, and there was a line near the entrance and the inside was full of people waiting. Since it was so full, it was hard to see if there was a lot of seating areas. I'm thinking no, since almost everyone was standing and smushed together. They have a pick-up area, so it was still easy and quick for me. I don't know what it is about Michigan, but a lot of the places I visited tasted so salty to me. I was hoping this would be different since it looked so fresh. I got a breakfast sandwich bagel that looked and smelled amazing. With my first bite, all I got was salt. I couldn't taste the egg, cheese, or anything else which was weird to me. The cream cheese was supposed to be scallion or green onion flavored. I saw even a piece of onion on it but I couldn't taste it. Overall, I thought the bagel had a nice texture and the sandwich was a fair size for the price. I'd come back if I was in the area and try something else off their menu. read more

Always cheerful and fairly quick operation despite being WILDLY popular. The bagels are straight up legit 100% approved by New Yorkers. The texture is meaty and chewy and the flavor , in a word perfection. Today we got a Nosh sandwich (bacon, cheddar, scallion, cream cheese, and scrambled eggs for $10) but I can and three bagels to go (wheat, plain and zatar). The ambience is spotlessly clean and well laid out to ensure the ordering, pick up and exit is easy. This is a strictly take away place by the way located at a nondescriptive strip mall on the edges of Traverse City. read more

Packed with locals and tourists alike on a Saturday morning, Bubbies is serving up one of the best bagel sandwiches I have ever had. The service was very friendly and prompt. The Tuna was high quality and fresh. The ramp cream cheese paired perfectly with the zaatar bagel. The sandwiches were bursting with flavor and the bagel quality can rival NY bagels. If you're in the area, this spot is a must try, no question. read more

This is a wonderful spot in Traverse City that serves great breakfast bagel sandwiches. The line could start at the door when you arrive because it is THAT good! We were able to order the nosh bagel and the super nova. The portion is generous and filling! There is not a lot of room to stand to eat which would be super nice to have if they had more space. The prices were reasonable overall and the staff were all efficient and friendly. read more

Delicious! As an East Coaster who's wound up in CA, where they try to pass off round bread with holes as bagels, it was so refreshing and life affirming to have a proper bagel, and be able to bring a baker's dozen home! We also got tees, a spreader, and stickers. read more

Very friendly staff (gave us a couple great winery recommendations as well). Came in on a Saturday morning, encountered a short line which moved pretty quickly. Wait time was reasonable. Sipped on the BEST pumpkin spice hot chocolate while waiting for our bagels. Ordered the Nova Lox on zaatar bagel and veggie on caraway rye. Both bagel sandwiches were delicious however a bit chewier than expected. None of their bagels are toasted since they are made fresh daily. No indoor seating so definitely plan to take your bagel to go. Would recommend to anyone visiting Traverse City for a quick breakfast! read more

Our absolute favorite bagel ANYWHERE. When we travel this is the breakfast to beat, and years later it is still our favorite breakfast sandwich. They are always busy, but you can order ahead online. The service is great, they are helpful and friendly and our food is ready fairly quickly. We get the Nosh consistently, but their specials impress every time. We even bought t-shirts one year! 10/10 would not miss Bubbies Bagels in Traverse City. read more

We went to bubbies for a quick breakfast before we went up to old mission lighthouse. There was a bit of a line, but it moved pretty quickly and we were inside before we knew it. Inside they have a few local items to buy. The cashier was really helpful and answered any questions we had. It is a bit tight inside of the shop, but the wait wasn't long so it wasn't too bad. The bagel sandwiches are SO good. Both of our choices were delicious. We also got a sweet bagel to try that was a seasonal special that was also fantastic. We will definitely be back and will be making bubbies a stable for each time we visit TC. read more

We stopped here on a whim to grab breakfast before starting our road trip home and are so glad we did! The place was clearly very popular with a line going a ways down the sidewalk, but the staff did a great job of moving the line along quickly, so it didn't feel like a terrible wait. I got the Carlson sandwich that was on special (white fish salad!) and my boyfriend got the veggie sandwich. We both got the sandwiches on everything bagels and loved them! The portions are generous and the bagels are DELICIOUS. The store itself is cute and they have it set up well with an area for call-ahead pickup, and despite the long line and many call-in orders, we only waited a couple of minutes after ordering to get our sandwiches. My boyfriend tells me the coffee was good as well! To top it off, despite being really busy, the staff were organized, cheerful, and friendly. Just wish I would have ordered some bagels to go to take home! Will definitely be back someday! read more

Staff was really friendly and welcoming. I got here at 12:10 so the only bread left was the salted sticks. I got that with a Super Nova. Flavors are just delicious. If I had the money, I'd walk right back in to buy another. Fair pricing too. Definitely will be back to here if I'm ever in traverse city again read more

These were excellent bagel sandwiches! I only wish they had a location with an option to sit-down. You can tell they are popular, the line is constantly very long. They also sell day old bagels by the half dozen at a steep discount. Staff were all extremely friendly. read more

I'll never come back. We came in a little before they closed. I asked what types of bagels they had and a few of the staff sarcastically with a mocking laugh and hand gesture pointed at the baskets which I had not noticed right away due to my eye sight. It was a clear message to us that they didn't want us in there. It was such a mean way to treat someone and I was so shocked it took me a second to register. Yes, they probably had a long day with tons of customers due to the protest but the hateful way they treated me was uncalled for and could only be the result of a toxic negative groupthink amongst all the staff. Bad energy. Ruined my day and I regret making my husband walk in there with me. Also overpriced. read more

Date: May 11, 2025 I placed a simple order for a plain bagel with a very specific request: please put the cream cheese in a separate container. When I picked it up and got home, I realized they had completely forgotten the cream cheese--my only additional item. Frustrated but understanding, I drove back for a second time. I politely made my way to the front, explained the mistake, and the gentleman handed me the cream cheese. (Yes, I should've double-checked at this point--but I didn't.) Once again, I got home only to discover they had given me the wrong cream cheese. So I made a third trip back. And instead of owning up to the mistake and fixing it, the moment I raised my voice slightly out of understandable frustration, they threatened to call the cops on me. Three trips. One simple order. Multiple errors. Zero accountability. Go to Big Apple Bagel instead--seriously. read more

Just like we'd have at my Bubbies. I go every time I'm in Traverse City. Ordering ahead on the app is super easy and then you just have to grab your order off the shelf inside, skipping the line. However, I found out recently that in high season they do not do online ordering on the weekends. I generally get the supernova, lox, pickled red onion (oh, man!), dill and pea shoots, with green onion cream cheese, without the capers. My friend loves the garden, fresh with veggies. You can pick the type of bagel as well. They really load it with toppings, so I do have to take it apart to have a side at a time, nice shmear as well. Their bagels are traditional and dense, so if this is not your preference, you may be less enamored than we are. read more

Went to this place once and it was awesome! I was excited to come back. However, I ordered a bagel to go today with egg salad, pickled onion, capers, and cucumbers and got home to find a completely dry bagel with just the veggies and NO egg salad. Needless to say, I'm left hungry and disappointed. I also find it strange that they would send a customer home with a bagel with no cream cheese, egg salad, or anything on it but veggies...? At the end of the day, it just sucks to not get what you paid for. read more

We stopped and waited about 10 minutes to order a Lox bagel and a BLT on a Zatar bagel with Jalpeno cream cheese. The BLT was great, and the heirloom tomato was fabulous. There was a lot going on, but great flavor. We took them to go and had half in the car and half at Sleeping Dunes. They were great bagels and sandwich combinations. Nice job! read more

The line is big, so order online if you are in a rush. One of the breakfast places opened on Sunday and Monday.

Charming mom and pop bagel shop. Got there at 8am when they opened and there was already a line outside. And I can see why. The supernova was incredible (maybe a little excessive on the dill but I still loved it). Even though they were busy the workers were courteous and we got our food quickly! Will definitely head back next time I'm in TC! read more
