    Hands down the best bagels in Tucson! The staff was incredibly helpful. We were looking for a place to cater breakfast for a event and they made the whole process easy. From recommending how much cream cheese to order to letting us know that all of their bagels are vegan except for the jalapeño cheddar. The shop itself is pretty small, so it can get crowded while you're waiting for your order. There is some outdoor seating, but with how hot it gets here, I usually just take my bagels to go. They're absolutely worth it, though! If you're looking for a great local bagel spot, I definitely recommend checking them out.

    Tasty bagels! If you're near River and like bagels, you should check out Bubbe's Fine Bagels. I've been here a handful of times and super busy on the weekends. They have bagels you can buy to go, ones you can ask to add smear or make into a sandwich and they'll cut in half and heat, too. The have various spreads/smears to add to your bagel or can purchase a small container to go. They also sell coffee and have small seats and tables outdoors. Not much seating inside, and it can get crowded when you sit inside when a line forms. This place is a must try if you're looking for a tasty bagel!

    I never knew this location existed. It's right by the water fountain. I got the cinnamon sugar, honey lavender cream cheese with smoked salmon. Service was quick and it was a very long line but the wait was manageable. It's a more pick and go type. There's a few chairs outside but no room inside.

    We love Bubbe's bagels! They are the best in town, by far. I love the jalapeño cheddar bagel with the onion and chive cream cheese, as my go-to order. Add an egg if you're feeling fancy. Their bagels are chewy but with a soft/fluffy interior, just how I like them. Don't miss out on their monthly specials, which usually include a fun bagel of the month and a coordinating cream cheese. This month's bagel (November) is a cheesy potato bagel with caramelized onion cream cheese. It is too die for, the perfect savory/salty/sweet combination. We will be back before month end for another one for sure! Food comes out quick, I have no complaints about service but seating can be a little limited especially on weekends. Majority of their seating is outside and is lacking adequate shade, especially in hot summer months. Other than that, we love this place

    Half dozen. 3 everything, 2 cinnamon raisin and 1 plain.

    Good bagels, and from my understanding they make their own cream cheese flavors. I got the lox open faced sandwich and the berry basil lemonade. I love smoked salmon so it's a no brainer that I loved this sandwich. The basil berry lemonade (made in house) grew on me. At first I didn't like it because the flavor of basil was strong but after a few sips I ended up enjoying it. I also got half a dozen and picked up their Calabrian cream cheese. My husband got the Rueben but he ate it so quick so I didn't get a picture. It was good though. I've been to both locations and both are very small with not really anywhere to sit and eat but outside. I would go here again.

    Tried Bubbe's for the first time. It's a small to go spot with very little seating. We are not from the area. My wife frequently travels here and recommended to me. However, it was everything she said it would be. The bagels had the perfect texture, nice size, with freshly cooked ingredients. I hade the bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. The crispy bacon paired well with the soft cooked eggs and perfectly melted cheese. If you are ever in the area. Give Bubbe's a try.

    Came here on a Saturday morning and some things were already out for the day. But luckily, I was planning on keeping it more on the simple side anyway. I was ordering for some other people and figured I could get a sweet and savory to try/share. I got a jalapeño cheddar bagel with Calabrian chili schmear, which was the perfect savory bagel to me! But the cinnamon crunch and lavender schmear were SO good together! Definitely need to try more of their combinations.

    Plain bagel with plain cream cheese
    Jenna F.

    I finally got around to trying Bubbe's and it definitely lived up to the hype! I got a plain toasted bagel with plain cream cheese and found that the texture and density of the bagel was really well rounded and that the cream cheese was both creamy and flavorful. One thing to note is that seating, especially on a weekend morning, can be extremely limited and is outdoors. Luckily, my party found a table but it's definitely something to keep on mind. Overall, the service was great and it was a nice, quick breakfast spot with very filling offerings.

    I have a few new favorite items. First, the egg salad, which can be purchased in an 8 or 16 oz container but also as a bagel sandwich is SO good. There's the perfect amount of mayo to bind it, so it's not overpowering. For the breakfast bagel sandwich, I love adding the smoked salmon cream cheese or the Calabrian chili cream cheese if I'm feeling spicy (it has a big kick). Either of those on a breakfast sandwich takes it over the top. Keep up the good work Bubbes.

    Smoked salmon bagel
    Karlee A.

    Fast service, good bagels, great cream cheese flavors. I am not a fan of salmon but decided I wanted it today and I almost finished it which was surprising for me. Not skimpy with the fish that's for sure. Really loved the onions and tomato, really elevated it for me

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

    These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.

The line was really long, so we used the iPad they provide to place our order. We selected a matcha, but the iPad never gave us the option to choose between hot or iced. We assumed it would come iced, which is our mistake for assuming. When our order came out, the matcha was hot. We went inside and politely asked if there is any chance we could get it iced instead since there was no option on the iPad. The owner herself took the drink and remade it, which we appreciated, but her attitude toward us after was unnecessary. She told us that next time we should order directly with them because we just "wasted their cups" and so on. We apologized again and explained that we would have selected iced if the iPad had actually given us that option, but she didn't really acknowledge what we were saying. What made the experience more disappointing is that I work in coffee myself, so I understand what it's like when things get busy. I chose Barista Del Barrio out of all the coffee shops in the area specifically because I'm Latino and wanted to support a Latino-owned business. I even tipped when I placed the order on the iPad, so I was disappointed with how we were treated over something as simple as an ordering-system issue.

(well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly.
