We pre-ordered a half-dozen bagels (rosemary, sesame and cinnamon cranberry) and some jalapeño cream cheese (the best!) and then decided to grab a hot sandwich once we got there. We went with a classic bacon, egg & cheese and added a slice of tomato. Our bagels were ready, and our sandwich came out hot and melty as soon as they made more bacon (they let us know it would be a few extra minutes - and bacon is worth the wait!). We took our food to go since it was chilly, but there are tables if you want to hang out. Everyone is super friendly, they're working hard and getting food out quickly, and the bagels and breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. Totally worth a little drive from the 'burbs. read more

Ruby's has some of my favorite bagels in Milwaukee! I'm a frequent flyer to the food truck location (so happy it's back) and love how kind and efficient staff has always been. I also really appreciate the ability to order ahead for pickup to avoid wait times. I have tried many different bagel combos and love a good everything bagel with the green onion cream cheese! The BEC with cream cheese is also another fave. Overall I definitely recommend trying out Ruby's if you haven't yet! read more

Delicious! I got the veg on a rosemary salt bagel, the cold brew with some almond milk, and half a dozen bagels to go (poppy seed, everything, and rosemary salt). Cute shop just down from a new bookstore and billed as some of the best bagels outside NY. Now I have never been to NY but these are tasty bagels--chewy and soft. The service was fast and I thought they did really well for how busy it was Saturday mid-day. I would go back if I was in the area. read more

I know I have reviewed Ruby's before and now that I've been enjoying their bagels for 4.5+ years I can confirm and re-confirm that these bagels are awesome, perfect, and very yummy! And yes, you can pre-order for pick-up. You can choose a dozen bagels, half a dozen, or a 4-pack. Don't wait if you haven't tried Ruby's bagels before! read more

Ruby's is highly recommended in the press, so it was our first stop after landing in Milwaukee on a Friday morning. We expected one of the best bagels in the country, as they have been listed in a reputable food magazine as such -- that expectation may have been our undoing. Ruby's might offer the best bagel in Milwaukee but it is not one of the best in the USA. The bagels are flavorful; That really cannot be credibly denied. I very much enjoyed my Rosemary Salt bagel with cream cheese. The rosemary on my bagel was largely on the surface of the bagel and I do think that is a mistake. The rosemary is sharp and at times piercing. Smaller pieces of rosemary infused in the bagel would be a better approach. The texture of the bagels is a bit doughy. I don't think Ruby's uses an egg wash and that might help to crisp up the bagels a bit. Coffee was excellent. read more

Best bagels in milwaukee! Stopped by zocolo park to finally try ruby's bagels. I ordered the rosemary sea salt bagel with the green onion and jalapeño cream cheese. My bf ordered the sesame bagel with strawberry cream cheese. These bagels are absolutely delicious!! We were blown away. The cream cheeses were so fresh and the bagels are a true new york style bagel. We also ordered their drip coffee with lavender and pistachio syrups and it was so good. Service was quick. We will be coming back for sure. Highly recommend. read more

This place is a little gem. I hope they get their own storefront someday! The people that work here are lovely and make it easy/quick to order. Zocalo is such a fun location with lots of seating options. My fav combination here is a sesame bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Their strawberry cc is perfect - great color, strong strawberry flavor. I know other friends are big fans of their BEC and special coffees (I don't drink caffeine). read more

Nothing makes a weekend better than a trip to Ruby's! I moved to Milwaukee a few years ago and was disappointed at the lack of a good local bagel shop - until I discovered Ruby's. This has been my favorite place to grab a bagel ever since. Ruby and her staff are all so incredibly kind and make each trip wonderful. They also frequently collaborate with local artists to release some really fun merch. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Go to orders: Everything bagel with green onion and cheddar cream cheese, BEC on an everything, and the Guilty Guava (soooo good!) read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Ruby's for the Latinx Heritage Month Yelp Elite week. I ordered a plain bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. I think the jalapeños were pickled which I absolutely LOVED. The staff was so kind and was sure to give me the full run down on coffee flavor options. My coffee had a dash of oat milk and hint of lavender syrup. I enjoyed my goodies at the food truck park that Ruby's is parked in. The setup was so cute with a variety of picnic tables. I went pretty early, and I'm so glad I did because it was so serene. What a great way to spend a Friday morning! Check out my Ruby's Bagels TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8MdEY4M/ read more

I was excited to try these highly recommended bagels but was slightly underwhelmed. We ordered two bagels which came out warm within 5 minutes. I was surprised to see a poppy seed bagel when I asked for my sandwich on a plain bagel. I convinced myself to keep it and thought it was a possibly their standard bagel choice for the Bacon Egg and Cheese. When I arrived at home, my simple bagel was also on a poppy seed. I was upset but the bagel itself was good, the bacon was a tab but too thick and the bagel was the perfect amount of messy. Overall a decent breakfast stop. read more

I'm truly shocked I haven't reviewed Ruby's Bagels based on the amount I have gone...eek! As many people did, I discovered Ruby's after it was noted in Bon Appetit. And it didn't disappoint! The bagels are fresh, chewy, and delicious! My personal favorites are Rosemary Sea Salt and Sesame! The jalapeño and strawberry cream cheeses are delicious too! For a sandwich option, I love the Veggie Sandwich and Bacon Egg Cheese. Haven't gotten a single bad thing here and the service is quick considering the lines too! read more

Stopped by to see what all the hype was about. I preordered a bagel & cream cheese which was ready upon arrival and then placed an in person order. The preordered bagel was not toasted and overfilled with cream cheese, which my partner wasn't a fan of. If I recall correctly, there was no option when preordering to select if I wanted my bagel toasted...I just thought that was a given. Opps. I waited for about 10 minutes in line to order even though only 5 people were in front of me. Upon placing my order I was given a number to wait for my order to be called. Ten minutes or more passed and I had only ordered a bagel with jam, but I couldn't wait any longer as I needed to get to an event. So I asked for a refund which they promptly provided. They put out a 'sold out' bagel sign while I was there and it was about 11am and it was not very crowded. So order ahead if you'd like to try these out. The pre ordered bagel I tried was fresh and good, but the overfill of cream cheese took away from its glory. I wouldn't return on my own accord, but if I do I'd preorder a breakfast sandwich, since those looked filling and delicious. Pack your patience if you're headed here, it's definitely not a grab and go set-up. read more

The softest chewiest bagels. Generous cream cheese, fresh veggies. I always get the lox sandwich and I have never been disappointed. Service is great and friendly no matter how busy they are. I always order online because I'm impatient. I've never ordered the bacon and egg sandwich but from the smell I need to soon. read more

I'm Ashkenazi and from Chicago, so I'm really picky about my bagels. Ruby's bagels are definitely sufficient bagels, and I would get them again. But next time, I will ask for the cream cheese on the side, because they put too much on. I had to knock off a couple stars, because the knife was obviously not cleaned in between cutting red onions and cucumbers, and all I could taste was red onion, which I cannot stand the taste of. Parking is free in the lot, if you scan the QR code to register your car. read more

As someone from NJ bagels are a huge part of my life and I was nervous to find somewhere in Milwaukee. However Ruby's is amazing and the sea salt bagel is amazing. They make a great bacon egg and cheese. Just be prepared to wait as it gets busy but you can enjoy a nice walk in walkers point while waiting or around zocalo park at least. I will say my only gripes are that they are not open everyday and that the pricing for a bacon egg and cheese is a little steep. read more

Bonkers for Bagels! I got to try Ruby's bagels tomorrow the first time today. She did a collab with Egg and Flour to raise money for Barby the Book Fairy and I picked the Rosemary Prime rib bagel sammie. This was the BEST bagel sammie I've had ever. Think of it as a gourmet bagel sandwich that has hand carved meat, shaved onion, Arugula, horseradish between two perfectly made rosemary bagel slices. 10/10 for this sandwich and for their ernest efforts to raise money for a good cause. read more

Food: 10/10. Probably the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. The bagel was excellently done with a crisp outside and soft inside. The bacon was thicc and perfectly cooked. I would recommend getting the bacon, egg, and cheese and then the veggie as they pair nicely together. Service: 10/10. I believe Ruby herself served us, I felt like a celebrity. Ambiance: 9/10. The food truck park is cool with a building for a bar and a lot of seating. Overall: 10/10 perfect place for a Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast. read more

Some of the best bagels in Milwaukee. Located in the Zocalo Food Truck Park (just follow the signs), their bagels have the classic hard crust with a chewy toothsome interior that you look for in a great bagel. My faves are the everything followed by the rosemary and sea salt variety. I can't speak to any of the sandwiches as I alway come to buy the bagels in bulk but given the quality of the bagels, I'm sure you can't go wrong. read more

I tried Ruby's Bagels for the first time this weekend at their Bagels and Butts event with Radillustrates. What a great idea! Order a delicious bagel and coffee and get a booty portrait while you wait for it! I really hope they do this again, it was so much fun and I loved seeing all the good dogs there! We had the veggie sandwich on a rosemary bagel (pictured) and an avocado bagel with cold brew coffee. All was delicious! I'll definitely be back to support them again soon. I always have great experiences at Zócalo and all of the food trucks there. read more

Delicious! I have been wanting to pick up some bagels and we saw they have pre orders in Oak Creek and ordered for Sunday. These are the freshest and fluffiest most delicious bagels ever.

Big disappointment!! Listed as one of the best bagels in Milwaukee. Sad Pickens !! They don't even have garlic bagels. What kind of bagel place doesn't have garlic bagels. Waited over 15min for a simple order. Out of orange juice on a sat morning. All and all One Star. If this that milwaukee has to offer things are pretty bleak. !! read more

Major drool. A friend introduced me to the food truck set up in the park near National. She advised getting there early, and I would wholly agree. We were there by 8am and were third in line, but as we waited the 15 minutes for our prepped bagels, 15 more people arrived. Everyone's so friendly, and the food is just delicious. They offer coffee (hot or cold brew), but the star is, of course, the bagels. I'd recommend the chive cream cheese, and almost any bagel (I left with a variety!)! I wasn't a fan of the rosemary bagel - great idea, very spikey - but even that made for a great sandwich. Can't wait to go back. read more

Ruby's is the best bagel in milwaukee. I've tried all the other shops and no one comes close. Woman owned and operated and she's what makes this city an amazing place for food and small businesses.

Some of the best bagels in the area. I recently ordered a dozen for a bachelorette party and they were GONE in seconds. The girls loved them. My favorite is the rosemary sea salt.

Went to Ruby's for the first time this morning and was pleasantly surprised at how good my bagel was. I've always been disappointed with the bagel scene in Milwaukee, always too tough and a little dried out. The bagel from Ruby's was very fresh and had good texture. I ordered an everything bagel with the avocado spread. The bagel was seasoned just right, no one flavor dominating the others. The avocado spread was also very good with great flavor. My friends ordered the lox sandwich and also enjoyed them. They have an easy to use online ordering platform that made the whole ordering process very easy. Will definitely be returning. read more

Stopped here for the Yelp Elite event for a complimentary bagel and was very impressed. It's tucked in the back garage so it's not easy to find but the regulars I think are keeping this a secret. I showed up late not knowing they were closing down but they were so kind to give me a rosemary bagel with a smear. OMG.....I am so glad I don't eat many carbs all of the time because this made it almost like a spiritual experience. The bagel had incredible flavor and I wished I would have toasted it or had it warm....next time. Thank you so much Ruby's for letting me taste your amazing bagels! I will be back when I crave carbs which might be sooner than later! read more

Started off the day with Ruby's Bagels and they were delicious!! Located in the back of the Zocalo Food Truck park, you'll find a variety of bagels and coffee to enjoy!

I stopped here and got a half-dozen bagels for the office a few months ago and they were amazing! I am a bit picky about my bagels as well as my cream cheese. I find Bruegger's to be too sour, and Einstein to be too bland. Panera is my go to because they are conveniently located, but they got nothing on Ruby's! I had mine sliced, toasted, and she even generously smeared it with the best strawberry cream cheese I have ever had. The bagel, a cinnamon sugar tastebomb, was just as good as the cream cheese; hearty without being tough, a difficult tightrope to master, for sure. Everyone back at the office raved about them as well. While a bit out of the way for me, I definitely will stop here again in the future. I see they had coffee drinks as well, so I shall give those a go as well. read more

Tucked into Zocalo food truck park is Ruby's Bagels, a small bagel shop. It's a little tricky to find off the street, but the woman working (I think she was the owner) saw me wandering and waved me in. I arrived pretty early in the morning and thankfully all bagels were available (looks like they run out of most flavors daily). I decided to try an Everything (my usual favorite) and the Rosemary Sea Salt. The bagels taste very fresh, super soft (but still have a bite) and were overall very tasty. Hands down the best bagel you'll find in the area by far. I think I preferred the popular Rosemary Sea Salt variety. My only critiques are that I found the plain cream cheese lacked a little salt/much flavor and the Everything bagel also lacked a bit of salt that I've come to expect in an Everything bagel. Perhaps the flavored cream cheeses are worth trying for added oomph and saltiness. Also this place is a bit pricy (NYC prices [think Russ & Daughters] for a flavored bagel with cream cheese - paid $10 for two) but again everything is homemade and fresh. Definitely stop by if you're in need of a bagel in the Walkers Point/Third Ward area! I don't think there's really any other local homemade bagel shops in the area competition wise other than larger chains. read more

A tasty bagel, BUT every time I order bagels there, Ruby cuts them in half. Even when I order a half dozen to go, and even when I ask them not to cut them. I asked twice last week, but my bagels were all still cut in half. WTF? Also, Outpost is selling great bagels for $.99. And Outpost has pumpernickel, which Ruby is often out of. read more
