Great bagels. Grip, rip, and dip. Smears are great. Server was very knowledgeable and I could tell he was excited to be a resource to new comers.

Definitely one of the better bagels I've had in Boston. Great vibes, friendly staff, and quick service if you go at an off time. They have their standard bagel and schmear flavors and a seasonal schmear flavor. The bagels are good size snd fluffy. I wish they would had a rosemary salt or something like that to the menu but I am very happy with my visits here.

Scallion cream cheese TUB -- so huge

SoCal girl visiting Boston and wow these bagels blew my mind. They were so squishy and well-seasoned (get napkins it can get messy). The warm bagels with the scallion cream cheese were unreal. My partner and I had an everything bagel each and split a salted and it was perfect. It would be challenging to order as solo though. There is no seating inside so be ready to go somewhere else to sit and enjoy. (This was tough esp during the winter)...The staff is friendly and was helpful when asked for recommendations.

Pop Up Bagels in Boston instantly became my top bagel of all time. The bagels are warm, perfectly chewy, and somehow taste both classic and elevated. I got mine with their scallion cream cheese, which is unbelievably fresh and flavorful--honestly the best version I've ever had. The servers were so friendly and upbeat, which made the whole experience even better. If you love bagels, this place is a must.

Definitely a must try bagel shop! We smelled the everything seasoning a few shops down and knew we had to try! The bagels are super fluffy and the seasoning is on point! Be aware that the seasonings do get messy! I had poppy seeds all over. We got the garlic and rosemary schmear. It was amazing! Very flavorful and goes well with the the bagels. We also got their smoked salmon and it was great! The smokiness of the salmon really comes through and it complimented the garlic rosemary well.

If I lived in Boston I would come to Popup bagels everyday. The salt bagels and scallion cream cheese are the best I've ever had, no notes. I will be dreaming about these bagels for a long time!!

It appears to be a winner destination. The grand opening was jam packed with people. They had music blaring with a disc jockey, samples from Stonewall kitchens. I have to say there prices are out of line with other quality bagels like Rise Foods. Rose Foods does excellent New York style bagels for half the price. Pop up Bagels I'm sure will do well but the prices are absurd. I have to admit the bagels are smaller than a New York style bagel but honestly the bagels have a nice dense feel to themI was pleasantly surprised how good they were. It's just $23.76 for 6 bagels & a smear. That's $3.76 per bagel. I can get a true NY bagel at Rose foods for $14.50 for 6 bagels. Do the math; only $ 2.42 per bagel.

Salt bagel

Ok these are fancy bagels that actually taste good. Pricey (at probably $4-5 a bagel) but they are so soft! Not dense--an unexpectedly poofy almost texture inside. They taste really really good but would probably recommend eating it same day. Split a dozen of the salt bagels with 3 friends. I ate two and was full for breakfast. Got it with the scallion smear. I normally am super opposed to posh bagels but these were tasty! Definitely would not be a regular thing given the price but they are good

I was so excited to try Popup's Boston location after having had their bagels before in NY, however I was pretty disappointed by the quality and lack of freshness I experienced. To be fair, we ordered our bagels ahead meaning they had been sitting for a moment, but the dough tasted quite unfresh--it was too crisp on the outside and very chewy on the inside making it taste more like a piece of bread than a bagel. After warming my leftovers up in the microwave the next morning, I will say, the texture was much better. But, generally, the cook on the bagels was inconsistent and the textures undesirable. Additionally, the bagel itself didn't have much flavor, with a surprising lack of seasonings and toppings. On the other hand, for the overall experience itself, it was pretty fun. The bakery has a lively, friendly vibe that feels really energizing. And the staff is incredibly kind and helpful, so generally Popup is just a fun place to be. Plus, the concept of tear and dip is super fun and an enjoyable way to share breakfast with friends. I think their cream cheese tastes nice, despite being a little dense, but the unique seasonal flavors is what really makes up for it and would draw me back to this spot again. The concept itself is something you won't find anywhere else!

Scallion cream cheese

OKAY, so PopUp Bagels is totally worth the hype! I'm not really even that much of a bagel person BUT I must say, their bagels are the real deal. We initially ordered only 3 bagels to try: sesame, everything, & salt bagel w/ scallion cream cheese smear. The bagels were AMAZING! Our favorites were the salt & everything bagels. The sesame bagel was still good but we usually prefer the everything & salt more. Very fluffy & pulled apart easily to dip in the cream cheese. Definitely best hot/warm but still tasted pretty good later in the day. We liked them so much that we ended up walking back to order more. This time, we opted for half a dozen (1/2 everything & 1/2 salt), with truffle cream cheese smear! Yum, yum, YUM! So far, I really love PopUp Bagels and not just because the bagels are absolutely bomb, but I mean, the service was spectacular! Two different staff members helped us in the two separate times we ordered & they were very helpful and friendly. The bagels were also ready ASAP, perfect for grab & go. I like that it seems they never run out of bagels, unlike many places that just bake in the morning & as soon as they're sold out they close. Highly recommend!

Yum! This was our first time visiting PopUp Bagels but it won't be our last. We got the scallion cream cheese and 6 bagels. I loved the sesame bagel and they loved the everything bagels. The bagels are tasty and light! The employees were very friendly and helpful with placing our orders.

Pop Up Bagels isn't just hopping on the bagel hype - they're redefining it. These are not your dense, chew-for-your-life bagels - these are soft, fluffy clouds of carb perfection that are somehow still epic two days later. (Yes, I took a few days to finish the bagels I brought back to SF from Boston. Science.) Their "rip and dip" vibe is def trending - warm bagels meant to be shared and dunked into whipped schmears like it's a bagel party and everyone's invited. Rip, dip, repeat. No slicing necessary, toaster is helpful if you don't get to have it fresh This is the kind of bagel that makes you rethink what you thought you knew about bagels. East Coast classic, upgraded! Pro tip: get a six pack and resist the urge to eat them all in one sitting. Or don't. No judgment here :)

Andrew C.

Finaly got to try the pop up bagels in the seaport! I never had the chance to try these in MYC, but I am happy to say they did not disappoint. The bagels came out fresh and extremely tasty. Worth the long wait. These paired with their cream cheese were incredibly fluffy and with great flavor. Overall a great bagel with groat taste. Excited for the new one opening closer to me!

I ordered the Eggspanola and it was so delicious. I'm really not sure what it was, maybe the spread, maybe the egg, maybe the sauce?? Made it so delicious.

The blueberry bagel I had that day was absolutely superb, probably the best blueberry bagel I've ever had in Boston. A few days later, I craved that same blueberry bagel and made the trip back, which is a considerable drive for me. Upon arrival, I was told that blueberry bagels are not offered every day and are only available on Thursdays. I returned the following Thursday, but the experience was very different. I got blueberry, poppy, and a few other bagels to take home. Unfortunately, all of them were absolutely disappointing. They tasted extremely off and very different from the blueberry bagel I had previously. At home, my family ate about half of what we purchased, but none of us had any desire to finish the rest. Overall, the experience was unpleasant, and the bagels were not enjoyable at all. The blueberry bagel from my first visit looked and tasted amazing and was completely different in quality from what I received on my second visit. On top of that, the person behind the counter seemed careless with hygiene, touching the screen, bagels, and other surfaces without any apparent attention to cleanliness. It felt like a completely different place compared to my first visit just a couple of weeks earlier. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed.

I didn't realize this would be a true hole in the wall; no bathrooms, only three or four tables, you order at the counter. So if you're looking for a sit-down spot, have a backup plan. We got lucky and grabbed a table but it felt like a miracle. This is really more of a takeout spot. The menu is simple: cold and hot sandwiches, about four or five options per category. The sandwiches were delicious, especially the Calabria, packed with prosciutto, spicy soppressata, hot capicola, sharp provolone, Calabrian chili aioli, and arugula. They couldn't substitute the arugula, so I skipped it but it was still the star of the show. My husband had the roast beef and it was good, but the Calabria won. Fair warning: these sandwiches are HUGE. We were so full from lunch we could barely finish dinner and my one regret was not splitting one. Come hungry or come with a plan! The place is a bit chaotic. It took close to 30 minutes to get our order; they were slammed. The guy at the counter was all over the place and forgot to give us our drinks or tell us to grab them from the fridge. But at $17 for a sandwich this thick and this good, it's a great deal in Boston's South End. The flavors made it all worth it.

The space is pretty tight and it was really busy when I showed up but absolutely cleared out as I sat down to eat. I ordered a cold brew, which was a bit watery, but I like it super dark so it's probably just my taste preference. They put the milk/cream in for you and you pick the coffee up in a separate spot from the food. They call your name for both pickups. For food I got the devilled egg open face bagel that has bacon on top on a whole wheat everything bagel. Eating it was intense. I couldn't put it down once I picked up each side and had to be very careful not to spill the egg mixture off the top. It took a while to eat but was amazingly delicious and exactly what I wanted. I would eat it everyday if I could. If it came with micro greens on top, it would be even better. The mixture had red onions which gave it a punch and crunchy texture. I considered adding salt to the mixture on top but I'm glad I didn't because the bagel itself had sea salt so each bite was salty enough. When I ordered I asked if I could also get 2 bagels to bring home and I was told the limit is 1 on weekends and 2 during the week. The manager (I assume) stepped in and said I could have 2 so I chose the rosemary sea salt, which the only have on weekends. I made breakfast sandwiches on them the next day and it was heavenly. This is a spot to check out!

Classic and well-known breakfast sandwich spot with a few locations throughout the greater Boston…read morearea! Well-executed sandwiches. It's a bit tight inside with not much seating and seems like more of a takeaway spot, which is exactly what I did. Staff are nice. The smell of the bacon inside is very enticing. I've been loyal to their Fancy breakfast sandwich which has fried eggs, bacon, cheddar, avocado, (pickled?) red onions, and mayo on toasted bread. While it is not life-changing, I still think it is a very solid breakfast sandwich that is well-balanced. I like the acidity of the red onions and the freshness of the avocado which balances out the oil and fat from the bacon and cheddar.

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!
