    Salt bagel
    Mary C.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

    Best dairy free bagel and cream cheese I've had! Super quick service and quality bagels. The only downside is you have to order a minimum of 3 at a time.

    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!

    These bagels are amazing!! Best enjoyed warm as their texture is fluffy & chewy but the exterior still has a nice crisp. My favorite is their Everything Bagel & yes they are GENEROUS with the seasoning. We also tried their whipped salted butter schmear & scallion schmear which were both delicious! Their bagels are honestly perfect on their own, but they've mastered the art of a good schmear too. It would be nice if they had some indoor seating, but on a nice day you can enjoy the outdoor seating of Seaport. Overall, amazing spot and can't wait to come back for more.

    Definitely worth the hype & a must try there's one around!! The bagels have a crispy exterior and the softest chewy texture inside. Definitely the best when eat warm, right away but its still delicious to eat days after! I recommended toasting it when eating it days later. I got a mix of the plain and everything bagel. You can't go wrong with the plain to just tear and scoop some cream cheese on.

    Everything Bagel

    In Seaport, this place often has a line to order. You can get 3, 6, or 12 bagels with a side container or cream cheese. We ate ours warm and they were so incredibly fluffy! We liked to just rip them into pieces and dip them in whatever cream cheese/butter we got. I recommend the scallion cream cheese and the hot honey butter. This really hit the bread craving :)

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.

They have free wifi so if you come during slower hours, it's a convenient spot for studying. Despite the usual long lines, the staff are always friendly & efficient.

If you're feeling experimental, their menu has a ton of other tasty options. Their Pesto Turkey is also a delicious choice. Cannot recommend them enough.
