Simply put, GAS! Love coming here on a sunday morning and that dill pick spread gets me going.

I don't have enough great things to say about this place, everything at Pop-up bagels is perfect! The staff here takes care of you like you are one of their own, they walked me through everything my first time and I walked out of there hooked. Their rip and dip bagels are perfect for people like me who don't know what they want but can have 3 different spreads and dips open at once and switch between mini bagels and not dirty up a bunch of knifes either. I would recommend to any to go and enjoy a bagel at pop-up bagel! read more

love PopUp Bagels! Bagels are sooo good and schmear options are always fabulous. The staff is so nice as well and vibes are great. I met the owners at an event in June and they were just as wonderful! amazing place all around read more

Delicious bagels! I was a little skeptical at first because they are viral, but I completely understand why. They are the perfect texture and are so soft on the inside! Disclaimer: there are only 5 types of bagels and you have to buy a minimum of 3 bagels. You only get 1 schmear, and an extra schmear is $8. read more

Holy moly these are GOOOOOOD. They are so fluffy, warm, and huge. I can see why they're taking off in so many cities. Now this is a busy spot and can definitely feel overwhelming because it's a small area to order and wait, but it's worth it. There may be a wait after you order especially if you're getting fresh bagels coming out of the oven. The collabs are so fun and delicious. So many schmears to choose from. The owner is so sweet -- she chatted with us for a while the one time I went in person! Will definitely be back over and over read more

A new bagel shop enters the Nashville scene in the Gulch and one that I recognize from NYC. The bagels are very fresh and texture is perfect with a crisp. The bagels I got were hot and just out the oven. For sure eat them fresh. I got the everything bagel and I loved it with the scallion cream cheese. Such great flavors. They have new schmear flavors all the time so I'll have to go back to try new flavors. However, I must say I don't love the model of pop up bagels because you have to buy 3 bagels and 1 schmear minimum so if you were by yourself and only wanted one bagel, you couldn't do that. Also 1 schmear is limiting if you wanted to try different flavors. I wanted to try a sweet one but that wouldn't go with my savory bagel, so I just stuck with scallion. I wish you can do 2 smaller flavors. read more

First time visiting pop up bagels and as a bagel lover- these are so good. Went on a Monday morning right when they opened. The bagels weren't even out of the oven yet (which was a good thing IMO) because they came out hot and fresh. We got 1 plain, 1 everything, and 1 sesame seed. It wasn't until we looked in the bag that we also noticed they threw in an extra plain bagel, which was very nice. For spreads, I really wanted to try the brown butter but unfortunately they were out of it :( so instead we got the hot honey butter and just the plain cream cheese. Both of these flavors are delicious. I could not stop spreading the hot honey butter onto my bagel. Vibe and service of the establishment was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. For parking there is a lot next to the building that is free for the first hour! read more

Had I known the viral Pop Up Bagels had a location outside of New York I would have planned better and shown up earlier in the day. Turns out it didn't even matter though because they still had plenty of bagels and smear for me even 30 min before closing. We got the 3 pack with one smear: Sesame, salt and everything then got the scallion cream cheese. They were so sweet and threw in a container of Apple Pie cream cheese for us too! I'm so glad they did too because that one was so good and went really well with the salt bagel. The service was super friendly and fun. We were joking along with the employees there and having fun time. There are a couple tables inside but we didn't stay because they were close to closing. There are also some tables outside you can use but it was so hot we just went to the car to eat them. There's nothing like a warm fresh bagel and Pop Up bagels is famous for serving them this way all day, not just first thing in the morning. I never get a salt bagel because sesame is my favorite but after tasting this one I might be getting salt bagels more often. Since we were eating in the car we grabbed what I called 'fancy water' because it came in a fancy branded aluminum bottle. It's just regular water but made me feel like I was drinking some kind of elevated special water. Get your own fancy water too so you can feel super fancy like me! I'm glad I got to try this viral bagel place and get to see first hand what all the fuss is about. They earned the hype so go get some and see for yourself. read more

The bagels were still warm when we got them! They were soft and chewy and the scallion cream cheese paired well with the everything bagel. Highly recommend eating them immediately while they're still warm! read more

A few years ago we planned on trying PopUp Bagels in Manhattan during their explosion onto the food scene. Unfortunately we never made it as there was so much food consumed we just couldn't eat another bite. Fast forward to today and we are visiting Nashville for the very first time. We heard we had to check out The Gulch area and to our surprise, PopUp Bagels! My wife screamed it out as I drove by. Quick U-turn and we made it in just before they closed. Needless to say my expectations were low at closing time. Having opened 4 bagel restaurants in my lifetime, I struggle eating one that's more than 10 minutes old. Once you've had ultra fresh bagels, you just can't go back. If it's not warm, it's not good. We ordered the 3-pack: salt, sesame and an everything with scallion cream cheese. The staff were fantastic, had us laughing and having fun. What a great vibe in this place. As we were leaving one of the girls gave us another cream cheese "on the house" an apple spice! We get to the car to try these out and all three of them are still nice and warm... at closing time! Needless to say, we loved out bagels, loved the cream cheeses and loved the interaction with the staff. Great job PopUp! read more

My friend grabbed these for us before an event. And wow! These may be the best bagels I have ever had. They were so warm and soft. I ate one plain without any cream cheese or butter because they were THAT GOOD. I followed up my second one with some cream cheese. It was just as good. If you are in the area, you should stop in and try Popup Bagels. read more

I got here at 8 AM, and there was no line! PopUp Bagels is a rip & dip bagel shop, and I think it's a really different experience. Interior: I love the decor of this shop. When I stepped in, I got a beautiful whiff of bagels baking. The shop is more quick-pickup-centric, although they do have some limited outdoor seating. I could also see the PopUp Bagels team working with the bagels, which is pretty cool. Service: The pop-up bagel team was so warm and energetic, and their service was super fast. I literally didn't even wait before I received a bag of schmear and another bag of HOT bagels! Bite: I got the Everything Bagel and caramelized scallion butter. The bagel was extremely hot and fresh. Unlike traditional deli bagels, these weren't dense, and they were crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. The bagels were smaller in size but really delicious. PopUp Bagels is known for some of its iconic schmears, and the scallion butter slapped. It was so, so good and very generous in quantity. I loved my experience at PopUp Bagels, and I can't wait for their future schmear lineups! read more

Love the fun vibrancy of this convenient shop in the Gulch. Warm bagels and cool cream cheese. I'm a big fan of their concept of "rip and dip." No toasting needed. Too hard to resist! (Though I do toast the leftovers at home) There is a line on the weekends but it moves quickly. Bagels are sold at a minimum of 3 per order, and in multiples of 3 FYI. read more

Have been so excited for pop bagels to open in Nashville having frequented the many New York locations. I am a huge fan of their salt bagels and rotating varieties of schmear's. The current pesto butter is a must try. You can order online for pick up, but only by the dozen. However, I went midday on Sunday and there was a very short and quick line. I was able to conveniently park in the garage next-door (first hour free). The staff were very friendly and explained the process to those who haven't been before while in line. Once you order, there is an area to wait although the store itself is smaller and it can get a little cramped. Six bagels and a schmear is $24. Took less than 10 minutes to get my order. read more

Honestly, the bagels were great overall and the staff was friendly and greeted us when we enetered. My wife and I ordered a salt bagel and a plain bagel with a plain schemar. The schemars were interesting, and I really like the rotating flavor concept they use for them. The only thing I do wish is that they offered a few more flavors of bagels. That said, I understand the idea behind focusing on a smaller selection and doing those really well rather than offering a lot of options that might not be as consistent. read more

Came by recently with a friend and was surprised there was no line! We went on a weekday around 1:30pm. The employees were so kind and explained the menu items and options to us. The interior is pretty small, but there's a couple high top tables outside to eat at. We got the plain bagels with the vodka sauce schmear and it was delicious! Bagels were warm and the schmear flavors are so creative. The minimum number of bagels you can get though is 3 (for $15 with schmear included). I definitely didn't want 3 but spent the money anyways to try the bagels. Overall: cool bagel spot in the Gulch with great service but beware of limited seating on a busy day and must buy 3 bagels!! read more

The salt bagel is the best one. It has the crispiest exterior. The other flavored bagels are softer on the outside, not as crispy. With the salt bagel, you can actually enjoy the craftsmanship and quality of this bagel in its simplest form. It's worth it to try it out. If you're a bagel lover you might keep coming out to this place. If you're not a bagel lover, you should come just to try it out once or twice. I tried both the vodka and scallion schmear. The vodka was slightly pink with a subtle vodka flavor while the scallion was more oniony and fresh. I really liked the pairing of the salt bagel with the scallion schmear. Parking is paid either on the street for $2/hour or in the lot across the street from the shop. Inside there's only 2 small high top round tables with two stools. Outside there's more seating with around 3-4 tables with 2-3 stools each. There's also more seating across the street in an open grass area with benches and tables by a water wall. I enjoyed the experience of trying this place. I would maybe come again if I was really craving a good bagel itself. read more

Went to popup bagel today because the hype in NashVegas has officially reached cult levels. It's conveniently located right next to my dentist, which feels intentional. Like a coordinated attack. I'm not sure Dr. Scott and his staff signed up to dig sesame seeds out of grown adults' teeth all afternoon, but here we are. Truly a cursed pairing. Let's get this out of the way: the bagels themselves are stupid good. Like "I'm mad about it" good. Plain, salt, everything, all FANTASTIC. Chewy, hot, emotionally supportive bagels. America usually fumbles once a place expands, but somehow these still slap. Now, the schmears. Perplexing? The vodka schmear? Solid 8/10, no notes. The caramelized scallion butter was a 4/10 and sat in my stomach like a regret I can't take back. Way too heavy. I felt it judging me from the inside. Legit walked home to burn some of it, kinda bad. They hand you a whole ass bagel and a tub of schmear and say "good luck." No slicing. No spreading. Just vibes. I guess in 2026 we're all expected to be self sufficient pioneers with forearm strength and life skills, or independent contractors, please hand me 1099 with the bagels. The shop vibe is cool but nothing life changing. HOWEVER. $50 for a dozen bagels is criminal behavior. The last dozen I bought in Soho up in NYC was $29. I understand Nashville inflation is its own beast, but relax. I bought bread, not a Nashville timeshare. All that said, I'd go back. Bagels were elite. Just please, for the love of God, slice them. read more

The rip and dip bagel concept is new to me, but I'm kind of obsessed with it. Who has time for knives and toppings when you have a bag of freshly baked bagels to enjoy? I ordered a dozen bagels online the night before for pick-up when they opened at 7 AM. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived, and our bagels were ready and waiting for us! The rotating cream cheese flavors are a fun twist, and definitely inspires folks to become regular customers so they can try them all. All of the bagel options are pretty basic, but they're cooked to perfection and full of flavor. I especially liked the salt bagel dipped in scallion cream cheese. read more

PopUp bagels is such an interesting take on how bagels were supposed to be eaten. The bagels that we got were sesame and salt and they were piping hot from the bag! It was so soft and chewy and perfectly cooked. The tangerine butter for the new Collab is so amazing and so is the plain cream cheese. The person serving us was so kind and gave us really good recommendations. I also love all of the photos from people with pop-up bagels in their T-shirts and it just really well promotes their amazing food! Also, the seating outside is very enjoyable! If you were in Nashville, definitely go to pop-up bagels and the gulch is such a nice place to walk around read more

These fresh bagel are delicious! However, a few things to note to explain 4 stars instead of 5. First, as a Nashville native, I avoid the Gulch like the plague. There is street parking across the street for $2 an hour, which is pretty good for this area. There is no seating inside, and only 2 of 3 small tables outside. Luckily, if you walk a little further, there's a public green space with a few tables. Also, there's a 3 bagel minimum, so you can't just stop by and grab one bagel. You also only get one schmear included with your 3 bagels, but can add on another for $8. My friend only wanted plain cream cheese, but I had to try their special pesto butter. It was worth it! Overall though I do think it's a bit overpriced and I don't like the 3 bagel minimum. But also, it's definitely worn trying at least once because the bagels are so fresh! read more

Quality and service are second to none! Staff is always so pleasant! We visit every time we are in the area.

In the heart of the gulch, and parking is available, but prices widely depend on where you park. The place is small space that is to go orders mostly. Limited seating inside and outside. There was a line but went after 12 and the line died down a bit and it does go fast. As a bagel enthusiast, these were very good! It comes in plain, salt, everything, sesame and poppy and your choice of schmear (cream cheese). If you love bagels as much as I do, this place is worth a try! read more

Worth the hype! I've never had PopUp Bagels until stopping by the Gulch location this afternoon, and I will definitely be back. Walking in, we were greeted at the doorway by an employee (possibly the owner or manager), who was friendly and personable when welcoming us, telling us about the NJ-native founder speaking on the Food Czar podcast. Inside, there were two cashiers taking orders, which made for a quick checkout process. We ordered 3 bagels (2 everything, 1 salt) and schmear (cake batter weekly flavor), which cost $15 before tax and tip. 3 bagels is the minimum order, but having tried them, it's well worth it (and I see why people order more)! The schmear was handed to us at the register, then the bagels came out hot and fresh in a handled paper bag not long after. The ordering experience was very efficient - just long enough to get a glimpse of the trendy interior ("not famous but known" quote, "bagel bouncer" director chair, a collage wall of PopUp Bagels' fans' pictures, etc.). We visited after 1pm and were in and out of the shop in under 10 minutes; even still, the patio seating area was full of previous customers! The lines can get long here, especially on a weekend morning, given the touristy area. However, the straightforward menu (bagels, schmears, and bottled drinks if desired) is effective for serving many guests promptly. The bagels might have been the best I've ever had - pillowy soft and hot on the inside and perfect for the "grip, rip, and dip" method the company is known for. Their weekly rotation of different butters and schmear options are enticing, and I enjoyed the cake batter this time around. The one schmear served with 3 bagels was plenty for sharing (even some leftover). I've had FOMO since missing the Nashville grand opening a month and a half ago, with bagels, live music, and swag. I'm happy I finally got to try this location while it's still pretty new, and I'll surely be back! read more

I've heard so many great things about this place that I had to stop in and check it out (spoiler: it's totally worth the hype!) I will say that there is a bit of a line, but it moves pretty fast. Also the waiting area/storefront itself is pretty small so you'll probably be waiting outside. Once you order, your food is ready in maybe 5-10 minutes. Staff is super friendly (I got to speak with someone who was talking with customers while they waited and she was so kind and helpful). I ended up ordering a 3 pack (3 bagels and a schmear) to split with my girlfriend. The bagels were very soft and had great flavor (I'm from NJ and am a bit of a bagel snob but these really do deliver). What you're supposed to do is rip the bagels and dip them in the schmear and honestly, we had plenty left over. I'd definitely recommend the everything and salt bagels as well as their new Cake Batter schmear (sounds weird I know, but it's just the perfect level of sweetness/not too sweet at all). I ended up paying around $16 for everything which isn't too bad all things considered. Definitely will be stopping back soon for more bagels and schmear! read more

Brand New Shop! Been waiting for this place to open! Pop Up Bagels in Nashville absolutely lives up to the hype. The bagels are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft, warm, and chewy on the inside. Exactly how a true bagel should be. You can tell they are made fresh, and the quality really stands out from anything else in town. The flavored cream cheeses are just as impressive. Everything pairs perfectly, and the simple menu keeps the focus on doing one thing extremely well. Service was quick and efficient, even with a line, and the whole experience felt smooth and organized. If you are looking for the best fresh bagels in Nashville, Pop Up Bagels is it. Easily one of the top new breakfast spots in the city. Highly recommend. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to PopUp Bagels in the Gulch! I stopped in on a Sunday morning around 9 and it quickly became busy as we ordered at the counter. The shop is cute and non-fussy with a big counter to order. They make the bagels fresh and you likely will have to wait for the popular flavors if you go at peak times. When we came they did not have everything bagel and shared it would be 10-15 minutes, so we ordered from what they had which was the salt, poppy seed, and sesame. The best by far was the salt bagel, the other two didn't have much flavor. Also, the everything bagel is always the best so I wish we would've waited to get that one. For cream cheese we opted for the scallion and the special of the month - a sweet, Guinness chocolate stout cake. I prefer a savory spread, but the chocolate was nice with a rich flavor but not too sweet. I'm very glad PopUp Bagels is in the Gulch! read more

Been waiting months for PopUp to open in Nashville! I've been wanting to try it for some time since seeing their videos go viral online. The staff was so welcoming and kind and giving out free juices to celebrate their new opening. I was expecting to wait in a long line, but they were literally popping out those bagels in under a minute. As for the bagels themselves, they definitely know how to make a good bagel. No complaints here. I got the 3 pack (everything, salt, and sesame & they ended up throwing in an extra everything for me!) with the Nashville hot smear. The bagels were airy, crispy, literally perfection. I love the concept of ripping and dipping them because the cream cheese is definitely the best part. The Nashville hot was a little too hot for me, so I went back and got a scallion as well and the combination of these 2 smears was the ultimate pairing. Just wish they had a bit more bagel variety with sweet ones as well, but I get the concept of a small menu and can't argue with mastering it. So glad you guys made it here!! read more

I visited during the grand opening. Very vibey bagel spot! Love how the walls are decorated and they had a dj playing Jlo my love don't cost a thing. All the employees were super nice and friendly, and also lively and amped! Even though there was a line, they were very quick to get your order and had it ready in about 2 min. The bagels and spread are ACTUALLY good. I do not like hard, overly baked/toasted bagels. These are perfectly soft and chewy in the middle and are given to you warm! I basically demolished them but I guess I can still take a pic to add haha. I got the Vodka sauce spread (def recommend.) They also had a Nashville hot spread that I wish I would've got too. Stickers are free to take when cashing out! There's a butterfly option which is very on trend being this location is in Gulch near the famous Nashville butterfly mural. Love their slogan and plan to purchase another one of their hats. Great experience from start to finish! read more
