First time ever trying this place and food was amazing! Cherry was helpful and had great customer service while taking my order even gave me options of what I should order since i hadn't been there before. Definitely give this place a try read more

loved this place, perfect communication and customer service! the lady with the dermal had the best patience with me and even helped me decide what to try ! read more

I've only had delivery, so I cannot speak to the in-store experience. i LOVE bagels. NY and NJ bagels are top tier. This is the closest and tastiest I have had in California. They are crispy on the outside. Soft, fluffy, and chewy, on the inside. In most bagels here, it's the chewiness that is missing. The flavor is also spectacular. Highly recommend! read more

ORDER everything bagel (1/5) not hot and fresh like everyone else's experiences. my everything bagel was hard. salt bagel (3.5/5) this one was hot and fresh, much softer than the everything bagel scallion cream cheese (3.5/5) no complaints, but nothing special overall, a very disappointing experience, but there was no line on a saturday afternoon. you get your order right away, so quick service. very limited parking. read more

If you are looking for a fun morning treat in the North County, PopUp Bagels in Oceanside is an absolute must-try! The customer service was top-tier, and the cheerful, welcoming atmosphere made the experience much better. Instead of typing out every single bagel flavor I got, I attached a photo of the receipt below so you can check out the full haul; which was every flavor. This might end up being one of my shortest reviews because the consensus is so simple: every single bagel I bought, I tried--and every single one was flat-out good. I also grabbed a whole variety of their unique schmears and flavored spreads, all of which were great. Having traveled to the East Coast more times than I can count, I've eaten a lot of bagels out there. While New York still holds the crown for the absolute best, in my opinion, (no shade, NY bagels are just in a league of their own!), PopUp Bagels comes remarkably close. Hands down, this is the most flavorful bagel spot I've found on the West Coast. Tips: Grip, Rip & Dip with the Kids: They don't do traditional sliced sandwiches here. You get warm, whole bagels fresh out of the oven to tear apart and dip into tubs of cream cheese or butter--it's interactive and a total hit with the kids. Pre-Order or Go Early: Lines can build up fast, so pre-ordering online or arriving early in the morning guarantees you get your pick of the hot bagel batches and rotating seasonal spreads before they sell out. I loved tearing into these warm bagels. East Coast friends or local West Coasters--what's your absolute favorite cream cheese flavor? Drop your top pick in the comments below. read more

Woo! Yet another SD location! PopUp Bagel is a KNOWN bagel chain from the East Coast. You're meant to enjoy their bagels in a rip and dip type of fashion. Definitely some of my favorite bagels! Of their bagels, my favorites are the Salt and Everything. Of the schmears, their Scallion one is by far the winner for me. Always fresh, always amazing! read more

We finally tried PopUp Bagels and I can see why everyone is talking about this place! Everything was so fresh, and the bagels had that perfect chewy texture with a deliciously crisp outside. We tried the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter spread and absolutely loved it. It had the perfect balance of cinnamon and brown sugar without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated. It complemented the bagel perfectly without overpowering it. The whole experience was simple, fresh, and delicious. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a really good bagel. Can't wait to try more of their spreads and flavors! read more

Great bagel shop! The service was helpful when I told them I've never been there. The little shop was cute, I liked the decor and it was very clean. The bagels were delicious and fresh! They were crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. The only thing I didn't realize when I got there was it wasn't a normal bagel shop that you can get a bagel sandwich You have to buy 3 or more. But that's ok! I bought the bagels, plain, salt and everything bagel and ate all of them with plain cream cheese and they were all delicious! read more

I've seen this place really busy but a Sunday morning surprisingly had no wait so I had to try it. Best bagels ever. It was pipping hot with a nice chewy inside and salted enough throughout. The scallion cream cheese was recommended by the server and it did not disappoint. This is definitely best eaten on the spot and if there's no line, I'm coming back for more. read more

I was looking forward to trying PopUp Bagels. They did not disappoint. It's amazing how they are served very warm and fresh and they stay warm for a long time. They also tasted good the next day.

While waiting in line for Tanners I went to PopUp Bagels to check them out. It was later in the day so they were out of a lot of bagels but I was still able to get a 2 plain and 1 salt bagel with a plain schmear. I wish I came in time to get the jalapeno popper schmear I am so sure that would be delicious. The store itself is really welcome, open and well decorated and cashier was really friendly. My husband and I didn't eat the bagel until late in the evening, toasting it perfectly and piling on a heaping layer of schmear. The bagel itself has a really good chew to it but it's a little on the small side. Definitely want to come back at an earlier time and hope to try the jalapeno popper schmear!! read more

We visited Pop Up Bagels soon after opening. It is nice to have a bagel shop nearby, something the area was lacking. We were excited about the pull and dip method. I would give their whipped cream cheese 5 stars. However, the bagels only 4. The bagels were a little too chewy for our taste. We also were not a fan that you need to purchase 3 bagels and not alot of options. I give this 4 stars due to convenience, service and taste. It is not really their fault chewy isn't our thing. Yet, there is room to grow. We love a good boiled and toasted later. I order them from Brooklyn NY. Great to have a place here when you have a craving. #PopUpBagels # Oceanside #Whipped #Flavoful read more

Bagels are fresh and hot/warm. Flavor variety is salt, sesame, poppyseed, everything, plain, and one other flavor (I can't remember). We visited twice in a 2 week span. Both times we got the vegan cream cheese which is a cashew base with a scallion flavor and $3 more than its non vegan counterpart. It's rich and good, wish they had other vegan flavors too. For the non-vegans, there are lots of flavors to choose from. Our girls ate their bagels plain the first time and the second time, we brought a little PB for them so they could enjoy a topping. We brought our leftover bagels home to enjoy the next day and they were still tasty (not like the first day obviously, but still really good). There are 1-2 tables inside and more seating outside,however, still limited. People seem to always be waiting for tables which aren't very kid friendly since they are bar height stools. No bathrooms- you'll have to go next door. Service is friendly and quick. Wish they had more vegan flavors, although, a bit pricey once you add in the up charge for vegan cream cheese. read more

Back at it again!! I tried some out yesterday, and guess what? I am back at it again and I got a whole 6-pack this time. Plain, salt , everything and poppy .

Amazing! Bagels are fresh, boiling hot...LITERALLY! The establishment is very clean and inviting and fits the Oceanside vibes perfectly. They have their regular Schmears available and a rotating one. This week was Jalapeño and omg! my favorite! Especially fitting for Southern California. The staff was absolutely amazing and inviting. If it's your first time, let them know and they will help you decide what to get. They have outdoor seating which is perfect on a sunny morning. Or grab some bagels to go! Definitely won't be my last time here! read more

OK, so I have to check out what all the hype was about. When it first opened there was constantly aligned but it seems like it is actually died down now at least on a weekday at 8:30 AM. My friend grabbed us some everything bagels and cream cheese and honestly, it was great. The bagels were moist and chewy and the everything part it was just covered! If you're in the area, I would recommend checking it out! read more

This morning, I stopped by popupbagels and it was definitely worth the early wake-up! Even though there was a long line, the friendly service and fresh bagels made the wait worthwhile. They offer a variety of delicious bagel flavors, including Plain, Salt, Poppy Seed, Everything, and Sesame, along with tasty schmears like Plain, Scallion, Salted Butter, and rotating weekly specials. The bagels were fresh, warm, and perfectly chewy, and the laid-back, welcoming atmosphere made it a great spot to start the day. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend arriving around 7:00 AM to find easy parking and beat the rush Hours of Operation: Monday-Sunday | 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM If you're a bagel lover, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Second time back and I love the new spread options. The bagels have a delicious crispy outside and soft and chewy inside. These bagels are airy so you don't wind up chewing a wad of bread. I love that I can just rip and dip. Service was great both times we went. We were even offered a free bagel since we had to wait for more salt bagels. Thankful we don't live within walking distance because we would be here all the time. read more

I really enjoyed my first experience at PopUp Bagels. The bagels were oh so fresh and the cream cheese was delicious. However, I was disappointed by the rigid nature of the menu. We ordered 3 Bagels + 1 Schmear. Two Everything, one Sesame, and the Scallion Cream Cheese. The Sesame Bagel was a tad disappointing, but the everything bagel made up for it. Both were fresh, but the EB was flavorful unlike any other I've had. I was worried when I initially ripped into the bagel and a LOT of the seasoning came off, but the bagel was still super garlicky! The thing I don't like about PopUp Bagels is how there is menu set up. Being restricted to 3,6,12, or 30 bagels is nonsense. They have four different bagels (excluding Plain) and you can't try all of them without getting duplicates. Also their cream cheese portion is too large. I wanted to try another flavor, but the tub of Scallion CC was already plenty for the 3 bagels we ordered. PopUp Bagels is a great iteration of the growingly popular rip & dip style bagel, but their menu tells me they're more interested in increasing product sales than catering to their customers' experience. read more

By far the best bagels I've ever had! First PopUp bagel experience was simply amazing. I'd been wanting to try it ever since the La Jolla location opened but didn't have a chance...then randomly saw they opened one in Oceanside too!? I'm a die hard bagel fan and we just don't have great places on the west coast that are anything close to a NY bagel. Arrived at 7:30 am with our pup and there was only a couple people ahead of us. Poppy, plain and everything with scallion shmear. Got home at 8am and the bagels were still hot! I couldn't believe how incredibly soft and chewy they were, insanely fresh. Honestly even better than I expected. The quality is definitely there. Well worth the $17 we paid, the cream cheese will last a couple days extra! PopUp Bagels? Worth the Hype. read more

It's my first time at PopUp Bagels so it was unknown to me. I happen to be in the area for something else. I overheard someone talking about it's new to the neighborhood and that it's right across the street from where I was. I figured I'd check it out for myself. Right off the bat, the staff were friendly when I walked in. I felt the welcoming atmosphere immediately. I looove it when I don't now anything about a business which means I'll have my unbiased lens on. Right away, the customer service was on point. He was very patient with me when I asked for recommendations while a line was beginning to form behind me. I was in and out just like that! I got to enjoy my bagels at home. They were still warm and it dawned on me those seeds are going to make a good kinda mess. Lol read more

Wickedly good! Bagels are chewy and variety of schemears are clever. I'm still a plain schemear gal. Chives schemears come in a close second. Wait times could improve and there aren't enough waiting areas in the immediate area. No seating in Tanner Prime so customers wait around the parking lot and it's dangerous waiting while cars are parking. Safety is important. Ambiance is nice. Head over to Revo and grab a coffee while devouring your bagel. read more

So excited to have a pop up bagel location here in north county ! Orders are placed inside at the counter and everything is served take away style and you can request paper plates and napkins if you are eating outside. The music inside was uncomfortably loud and it was really distracting and make it difficult to hear the person who was taking our orders. Now onto the food ...bagels were delicious and best enjoyed while steaming hot. My favorite was the salt bagel which was perfectly crispy on the outer layer and soft and chewy inside. The scallion cream cheese was enough for at least 6-8 bagels and the coffee was great. Parking can be quite a challenge especially on busy weekend mornings. read more

Finally, a bagel worth talking about in Oceanside! This grab-and-go place does it right. They have a handful of bagel flavors, a few solid smears, and canned/bottled drink options, and high boy seating outside + a bench. Bagel flavors: plain, everything, poppy, salt, sesame. The salt bagel had a legit crust -- boiled AND baked, the way it should to be. Chewy interior, not bready, not doughy. The crust is a step up for our bagel scene, but not as textured or crunchy as a NYC bagel. Cold drinks available from the fridge -- bottled or canned, nothing fancy, everything you need. Ordering is painless. There are 2 people to help take orders You can order a single bagel, or even order packs (3, 6, or 9). I do recommend having a menu outside though, so people can absorb what to order, and how. It started to get crowded inside as a few people were all crammed together to try and view the menu on the wall. read more

Stopped by with my 16 yr old daughter to try the latest trend in bagels...and pop up did not disappoint! The bagels are served piping hot right out of the oven- so be careful! We bought a trio of everything, sesame and salt bagels with the rosemary garlic butter spread. The bagel was soft and chewy and the salt had the perfect amount of delicious salty flavor. But the real star of the show was the Rosemary garlic butter. I could eat this stuff every day. And would consider buying it just to have on hand for bread with pasta. It is sooooo delicious and makes any bread into a little piece of heaven. The inside of the shop is small but cute and trendy. Lots of outside patio seating which is nice, or a quick walk down to the beach. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend stopping in to pop-up bagels. Order a salt bagel with the rosemary garlic spread or a sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. The manager Fed was super kind and accommodating and clearly loves his job. I can't wait to go back :) read more

Great bagel shop with fun rotating schmear options. The bagel options are pretty limited and they don't have bagel sandwiches. You also can't purchase a single bagel, the order minimum is three. There was a line when I got there, but it moves pretty fast. The workers are friendly and happy to talk about the weekly specials. The store itself is pretty small, but has a pretty cool vibe. It's a fun concept, but don't expect it to be a traditional bagel shop. read more

I heard so much hype about Pop Up Bagels that I finally had to give them a try! WOW! The bagels are AMAZING! They are the most delicious bagel I've ever had! The consistency is perfect' it's not too soft and not too hard! My favorite is the salt bagel. It sounds plain and simple, but it is the exact opposite! The flavor is so delicious! Top it off with the scallion cream cheese and you have the perfect combo! The bagels come in a three pack which is perfect! You can't bout them single but if you're solo and saving for the next day, the bagels stay super fresh and tasty! Pop Up Bagels earns all 5 Stars! Great service and super cute little spot! Give them a try if you're in the neighborhood! read more

I always let the hype die down before treating myself to a place like PopUp bagels. As a local, I am curiously, hesitant around trendy spots. What works well for this place is its location and the piping hot bagels. But what really made this place for me was the Service. The service was outstanding and the owner could not be a nicer guy. He alone makes me want to frequent his business. His soft, chewy bagels are just a bonus! Thanks for the recommendation of the additional salted butter schmear with a plain bagel. Epic combo! read more

This bagel joint is more like a rip and tear situation with their own schmears and flavored butters. I thought it was pricey for three bagels and a tub of schmear. I did enjoy the crispiness of the bagels. The elote schmear was not as flavorful as I would have liked. It was whipped cream cheese with a few corn kernels and what looked like green onions? Super light in flavor that doesn't really over power the flavor of the bagel, which is maybe something they were going for. Overall, decent bagels if you want a simple, fresh bagel. Highly recommend to eat it there immediately to enjoy its fresh bake. read more

The line looked a little intimidating when I first got there, but it moved much faster than I expected. Once I placed my order, my bagels were out in less than 10 minutes. I got the salt, plain, and everything bagels with the limited-edition chimichurri butter, and WOW. These bagels came out piping hot and fresh--like, fresh out of the oven hot. The everything bagel was probably my favorite, but honestly every single one was delicious. The chimichurri butter was so good that I found myself making sure every bite got a little bit of it. I'm planning on using it to cook steak and scallops at home tonight for dinner!! I'm glad I got to try it before they rotate to a new flavor in the next few days.

Scrumptious and worth the social media hype and somewhat lengthy wait. The apple pie cream cheese is spectacular and every flavor of bagel was delicious. All of them were warm and doughy.
