Came here around 10:30am on a weekday morning with my daughter. It was a bit busy, the workers had…read morea friendly vibe, and the dining area was kept clean. My daughter got a classic plain bagel generously spread with cream cheese, which she enjoyed. To accompany it, she chose a matcha drink topped with strawberry foam, a delightful combination that was visually appealing; She said it reminded her of a cherry blossom. I felt overwhelmed with the menu and opted for a chai beverage with lavender foam, because it was pictured on the menu by the cashier. I chose to eat a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel, because I heard a worker call out some one's order and quickly thought that sounded good. I felt anxious because there was people behind me, so I did not even read the whole menu. We shared an order of fries, which arrived hot and crispy. My daughter appreciated how they stood warm til the last bite. Afterward, I learned that Bagelman has been a staple in the Danbury community since 1984, known for its fresh, made from scratch bagels and a variety of cream cheese flavors, If I ever come back here I'll definitely explore their scallion or walnut and raisin flavor, depending on the bagel I get. They also offer vegetable, olive, strawberry, lox spread, and peanut butter & jelly. For those planning a visit, Bagelman offers online ordering through their app, which can be a convenient option during peak hours. It'll give you time to explore their extensive menu better. Their dedication to freshness make it a worthwhile stop.

Their menu is packed with fun, creative options, which makes it hard to choose just one. I decided to try the drink of the day, "Raspberry fluff" I chose iced with oat milk. It was light, refreshing, and had just the right touch of sweetness without being overwhelming. While it wasn't my personal top pick, I still enjoyed it and could tell it was crafted with balance in mind. I'd definitely come back to try more of their drinks--there are so many tempting flavors, and this place feels like the type where you'll eventually find "your" go-to order.

ORIGIN: Popup Bagels was founded by Adam Goldberg during the…read moreheight of the pandemic, when Goldberg explored bread baking. Initially sharing with friends and family, the Connecticut resident started selling via popups and pickups in New York and Connecticut. You would think New York already had a good source of bagels, but after its first stand-alone location opened in 2021, momentum developed and other storefronts were initiated in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. LOCATION: This Popup Bagels is located in a shopping plaza in suburban Newtown, Connecticut. CONCEPT: Compared to other bagel shops, Popup Bagels a limited number of bagel flavors (plain, salt, everything, poppy, sesame) and tubs of weekly-changing flavors of butter and cream cheese (such as martini cream cheese and lemon butter) in addition to those regularly available (such as scallion cream cheese). Sandwiches are not prepared for customers -- they are encouraged to "grip, rip, and dip" bagels into their chosen Schmear. ATMOSPHERE: The interior is crisply designed with a modern feel. SERVICE: From an investment perspective, the concept is brilliantly efficient. Limited hours (7-noon Wednesday and Thursday, 7-1 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), limited choices, no sandwich/beverage prep, and online ordering encouraged, make the service efficient from both effort and material perspective. FOOD: Compared to other bagel shops the bagels are attractively packaged with open totes, inviting the aroma of the bagels to greet the customer. The exterior is covered by the topping, rather than sprinkled. The bagel is crisp and chewy on the exterior, but fluffy in the interior. In addition, tubs of smoked fish-based spreads are available. TIPS: The chain is expanding into Southern California. On Thursdays Schmear flavors change. The flavors are announced on Popup Bagels website. Although pre-orders are welcomed to ensure your pick, the online system does demand a minimum of a dozen are purchased. Ordering in person allows a three bagel minimum. The company recommends running water over the bagels, and placing in a preheated 350 degree oven for six minutes to crisp the exterior. Note the shop closes at noon on weekdays, 1 o'clock on weekends.
