Just updating my review to give a shout-out to Brandon. I was hosting some out-of-town friends and hyping up PopUp Bagels for their speed, freshness, and uniqueness of their schmears. But unfortunately, they seemed unusually understaffed on that day, and it took way longer to get our bagels than normal. However, Brandon kept apologizing for the delay, reassuring us that our order would be right out, and when the bagels arrived, they were super fresh (like, they were too hot to eat). After we left, we saw that he threw in an extra bagel to apologize for the delay, and then while we were eating, he came outside and gave us even more bagels along with a personal apology (honestly, we didn't even wait that long - PopUp is just usually very quick). And lastly, we were being attacked by a wasp at the time, and the guy just grabbed it out of the air and stomped on it for us. It was the most bad@$$ thing I've ever seen. So yeah, thanks Brandon. You really impressed my out-of-town friends who loved not only the bagels and schmear (the special was the DwtS seasonal chocolate chip/butterscotch, which was also great), but they were wowed by your customer service. This man deserves a promotion or a raise, or both. read more

PopUp Bagels makes really solid bagels. It's a pretty small, standard counter service spot with one standing table. Enough for you to spread your bagels and go lol. Other locations may be bigger. Service was fine and straightforward, nothing particularly unique about the experience itself. But this is easily the best we had while in NY. The highlight is definitely the texture with its great crisp outer shell when you bite into it. They're a bit pricey for the size, but the quality makes it worth trying. If you're staying on the Upper West Side, it's definitely a good shop to drop by for a quick bite. read more

PopUp bagels is poppin' with flavors and deliciousness. The line was long but it moved super quick. They are verrrrry efficient here. There was a guy who took our order and then you hand the bag to the cashier who fulfills the order. There's no toasting nothing fancy, just a few flavors of bagels and two choices to dip into. We chose salted butter. If I had known the bagels were smaller like this, I def would have ordered more. C'est la vie - will go with a dozen next time. The amount of dip they give is more than enough and the kids loved ripping and a dipping into perfectly salted butter with perfectly warm and chewy bagels. Service ass super friendly and we were in and out in no time, taking our brekkie to a nice park bench in Central Park. Ahhhhh New York - I love you. read more

I've been against this place for too long and saw the light finally. Why is it rip and dip? Why am I paying for myself to make myself a bagel? I have to go with other people just to get 1 bagel for myself, and it has to be 3? It's unique and I think that's what's cool. It's not like other bagel formats. The bagels are HOT and fresh. Excellent. Each bagel was terrific. The scallion cream cheese is incredible. I was gracious in every rip and dip. Super speed format. We got our order in a busy line so fast. I AM NOW A FAN AND IVE REPENTED read more

If you know, you know. PopUp Bagels is hands down serving some of the best, freshest bagels in New York--no hype machine, just quietly legendary. No long-winded menu, no overthinking it... just perfect, warm bagels that hit every single time. The real move? 3 bagels + a smear. Easily the best deal you'll find in the city, and somehow still feels like a steal every time. Simple, classic, and ridiculously good. The staff is super friendly and keeps the vibe fun and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. And if you're lucky...you might even score a freebie. Gotta love that. Not overly flashy, just really, really good bagels. Not trying to blow up the spot...but yeah, it deserves the love. read more

PopUp Bagels - Salted bagel with plain smear - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I love Bagels! I mean I've been eating them all my life and in my upper west side neighborhood we had a really great spot called H&H Bagels. The original is no longer around.. All the other new Bagel spots are ok.. But then I found POP UP BAGELS! Let me tell you this is the best bagel in the neighborhood! Great taste, Crispy outside and soft and warm inside.. I mean you can literally just eat the bagel plain just like that. That's how good they are. Straight off the press still hot.. Amazing! Their cream cheese is delicious as well. No way you can go wrong here! Pop Up Bagels for the win! read more

This feels like a place that people go to because it's popular, not because it's good. The line is long. The bagels are tiny. The staff is unfriendly. You MUST buy three bagels and a giant tub of cream cheese. But, like, what if you're just one person and you don't want three bagels and a giant slab of cream cheese? Too bad. You're gonna spend $14 and you're gonna be expected to tip 25% for rude service and a dumb concept. read more

If I were stranded on a deserted island and could only have one breakfast item, it would be the salt bagel (and honestly, the plain one too) from Pop-Up Bagels. I wish I had the words to explain how delicious, addicting, and light these bagels are. At first, I was a little annoyed that you have to order a minimum of three - I told my husband, "What the heck? I only want one bagel!" The schmear (cream cheese) also comes in a huge portion, which seemed over the top... until I took my first bite. To my surprise, I could've easily eaten a dozen of those bagels. We tried the plain, salt, and everything bagels. Normally, I'm an everything bagel kind of girl, but the plain and salt totally stole the show. Perfectly chewy, light, and just insanely good. I also have to give a shout-out to the customer service here. There were only two people working in the morning during the work rush - one making bagels and the other juggling everything else, including the cash register. He kept saying, "Thank you for your patience," again and again. You could tell they were hustling, and I really appreciated the honesty and hard work. Whoever they are and wherever they are now - they deserve a raise. I still think about those bagels even though I'm now on the opposite side of the country. I'm genuinely saddened by the bagels in my area - they don't even come close. As I write this, I'm wondering if they ship nationwide... and if I could get them fresh within 24 hours. Because honestly, a warm Pop-Up bagel might be one of life's great joys. They're that addicting. Whatever's in them- magic, love, or something stronger - I'm not questioning it. Just give me more bagels. read more

PopUp Bagels - Bagels to go and eating at a coffee shop. - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Overall: F // 1 star Finally tried this viral bagel joint after the hype died down and I immensely hate their menu setup. You are required to buy a minimum of three bagels with a schmuck, which are all variations of cream cheese. Especially for bagels which are much better consumed hot when they serve it to you, its a common use case where you would only want to have a single bagel, but this is just not possible; you'll need to coordinate with other people to share bagels or eat the bagels when they are not fresh, and frankly this is unnecessarily complicated for someone that just wants to have a simple breakfast.. and this updated model compared to all the other bagel joints does not have any upsides (for the customer). $13 for 3 bagels is also expensive, and I don't find their bagels to taste better than other famous bagel joints in the city.

The best bagels I had in NYC! The phone did not eat first, so sadly I didn't get any pictures, but they were just too good to put down. They were chewly, they were fluffy, they were fresh out of the oven, they were perfection. I tried the everything, plain, and sesame seed bagels, all with the scallion cream cheese, and loved each one equally. The plain and sesame seed bagels were better for really tasting the scallion cream cheese, but the everything was good for all that flavor. This is a to-go style spot, so you aren't getting an individual bagel that is schmeared and ready to eat, but if you have the opportunity to take them back somewhere with you and schmear it yourself, these bagels are a must. We wanted to get some to bring back to CA with us, but sadly ran out of time. Next time, we won't make that same mistake! read more

We got bagels here 2x while I was visiting NYC. The bagels were hot out of the oven and yummy. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They have just 4 types to choose from. We had the everything bagels. They also have amazing cream cheese, which changes daily. The first time here we got the apple maple syrup cream cheese, and the second time we had the cranberry cream cheese. Unlike other bagel stores, you must order in quantities of 3. So 3, 6, 9, 12. read more

PopUp Bagels - Menu - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I feel like you're either a fan or a hater of PopUp bagels and I'm a fan! They're not the traditional bagel joint with 100s of bagel flavors serving BECs or lox sandwiches, but instead they offer warm bagels (plain, salt, sesame, or everything) meant for ripping and dipping into either cream cheese or butter (often with creative rotating flavors). I personally love that they're warm, it's like a morning bread basket. Can't go wrong with their scallion cream cheese, but I also love their rotating butter flavors. It's a ton of spread, so can definitely save for later too :) Only down side is that the bagels are only sold in 3s, which is a lot for 1 person. Bring a friend! This location has no seating, but some standing tables outside or take to the park. read more

PopUp Bagels - Plain bagel and butter - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

There's always a line here, but it moves fast. This location has a few standing tables outside, which is handy if you want to eat right away. There's a minimum order of three bagels--tough if you're trying to save stomach space for all the other food in NYC. The bagels themselves are excellent--chewy, still warm even after a stroll to Central Park. The cream cheese comes in its own tub so you can dip as you eat. Not my favorite style, since it's a bit awkward and requires both hands. I think I expected a more classic NYC bagel shop serving sandwich-style options with different fillings, so the minimalist approach was a little underwhelming for me. read more

PopUp Bagels - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I got 2 everything bagels and 1 sesame bagel with the scallion cream cheese spread on the side. Everything was delicious! I love how fluffy and soft the bagels are. They're made fresh, and their service is quick, as they gave us our bagels pretty much immediately. There isn't any seating inside this location except for one table, if I remember correctly, and there are some tables outside. There wasn't any room when we went, but we didn't mind much. We walked a few minutes to a nearby park and ate it there on a bench! My only critiques about this place are their lack of variety in what you can order, like you have to get a certain amount, and lack of seating. Honestly, neither bothered me too much though. For what it is, it's great! In a way, I appreciate the simplicity of this place. However, since you're required to at least pick 3 bagels, you can't just get one, so I feel like it'd be hard to come here to just eat by yourself if you don't have a huge appetite. The first time I had it, I was also thrown off by the fact that we have to rip the bagels and spread the cream cheese ourselves- it seemed inconvenient and messy to me. However, after having it, I realized it wasn't a big deal, and it's still really enjoyable! Anyway, generally I love this place and their bagels are fire! read more

Great bagels, but their order management is terrible. They sort of arbitrarily tell you if you'll wait for a certain time or not and don't fill bags in order of priority. 18 minutes for a plain bagel isn't worth it. read more

4.5 / 5.0 - I tried Popup Bagels for the first time a couple of months ago and again last week. The first time was on a weekend and there was a line outside, but it moved quickly. Last week, I went on a weekday around 10am, so there was no wait. The bagels are freshly made and delicious. They're also smaller than your average bagel, which is the perfect size for me. However, you cannot order bagels individually and the minimum order is a pack of 3 plus schmear for $13+. You can also change this to 4 bagels, but that would make for very overpriced bagels. We tried the scallion schmear, which was tasty and plentiful--way too much for 3 bagels. I really wish they sold the bagels individually, so I could get them fresh, more frequently. Will go again when I have visitors. read more

I don't particularly feel a certain way about their bagels, but I absolutely think the way they sell their bagels should be highlighted You have to buy in a number divisible by 3. 3, 6, 9, etc. I pass by, I want 1 bagel, but I can't get one bagel. Sure I can ask the strangers in line if I can share with them, but why? And if I'm one person wanting a yummy fresh bagel, what am I going to do with the other 2 cold ones when I get home? So I get 1 good bagel and 2 cold bagels for $13. There's no upside for me at all. read more

this was probably the best thing ive had during my trip. this place has been getting a lot of traction and i will say it is worth the hype! if u didnt know already, popup bagels serves bagels in a non traditional way. theyre made to be ripped apart and dipped in cream cheese spread. the bagels are so hot and soft. i saw steam coming out when i tore off a chunk. my fingers were hurting bc of how warm they were but it was #worth it. an order comes with 3 bagels of your choice: we got everything, sesame, and salt. salt bagel was my favorite bc it was the softest. the others had a little more structure and chew. and it also comes with a thing of cream cheese. we got the scallion spread! it was soooooo good. i love ripping and dipping foods. i will definitely find my way back here service was amazing and the workers were real friendly! not a lot of spaces to eat inside but there are some spots outside! read more

We wanted to finish our Bagel-off with one of NY's "not famous, but known" bagels - and boy did they not disappoint! If you're coming here during the weekend, expect a line. If you're coming during the weekday, also expect the line. We got 3 bagels, and regular dip, alongside some salmon lox to top it off. The bagels were fresh, warm, and definitely HIT as we ate them at a nearby park in the cold March air. Delicious, 10/10 - service was prompt, easy. Not a lot of sit down room inside, so expect to take these to go :) read more

Visited on a Saturday morning and only waited about 20 minutes in line. Bagels were nice and warm when we purchased, and the cream cheese flavors were so fun to try. I wish there was an option for a slightly smaller tub of cream cheese, we got 6 bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese to try the limited edition flavors but ultimately tossed most of the cream cheese because there was no way we were going to finish all of it. Not the worst problem to have though, would rather be complaining that there's too much vs too little. read more
