Super fast service everyone was super nice! And bagels were so good! My nephew loved them too!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Came in on a Thursday morning and there was no wait! Love how the bagels are fresh and warm. Got the salt bagel w scallion cream cheese- very delish! Workers were friendly- good service! :) parking lot is tiny but if you come early morning there's parking. Tables inside and outside to eat! 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. The staff was friendly, patient, and efficient, even with a packed shop. PopUp Bagels absolutely lives up to the hype, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Fresh bagels and good schmear, but the high prices really take away from the spirit of bagels. NY bagels are accessible for everyone, but this place is not. I look forward to enjoying these bagels in moderation. read more

This morning, I went to popupbagels ,Despite the long line, I patiently waited. They offered a variety of bagel flavors, including salty, plain, poppy seeds, everything, and sesame. The schmears included plain, scallions, salted butter, and their weekly specials. I highly recommend arriving early at 7:00 AM to secure easy parking and avoid the line the ambiance of the place was welcoming and you can smell the fresh bagels read more

For some reason I was expecting this to be a food truck, but it wasn't. Maybe because the name gives off the vibe that they should be "popping up" around town. However, when I arrived they had taken over the bakery spot that was next to Tanners. Since it's pretty new there was a line that moved relatively quick. The real wait was having to wait for your bagels once you ordered. It definitely is an interesting concept... unlike other places where you order and unless it's a " sandwich you get your bagels right away... here.. you get your smear ( cream cheese) first then you have to wait for your bagels. They also only offer like 5 bagel options which was kinda odd, but maybe since they have a small working area that's the cause of the wait and limited options?! The bagels themselves were decent, but very small, i did appreciate them having a dairy free smear option though. It's an interesting concept, kinda weird they don't offer any sandwich style options as I love a good lox n bagel... but they're trying to be different. Overall, not sure I'd really be back as $15 for 3 small bagels and 1 smear is a bit much, especially when there's a variety of other good bagel spots around that offer a better selection. read more

After seeing countless videos of these New York bagels, they miraculously opened locations in SoCal. I got here around 10am and was lucky to find a parking spot. There was a long line that moved pretty quickly. You place your order and are handed your schmear. The waiting area kinda sucks, it's tight and not the most efficient. I waited around 20 minutes to get my bagels because the batch had to be freshly made. I got the 6 pack with a variety of everything, salt, plain, and sesame bagels for $24. It only came with one schmear which was disappointing because the 3 pack comes with one tub too, they should at least have the 6 pack come with 2... else you have to pay 8 freaking dollars for another container of schmear. Anyways, the bagels were steaming hot so be careful trying to rip them immediately. I was surprised to see that the bagel size was on the smaller side, but they were tasty. The bagels had great texture and flavor, also their scallion cream cheese is incredible. I know they have limited cream cheese flavor drops, but I wish they had more of a variety instead of butter dips. I'd definitely come here again to satisfy my bagel cravings. read more

Pop-Up Bagels in Oceanside has received a ton of hype on social media, and after seeing all the photos and videos on Instagram, we decided to give it a try. First, I'll give credit where it's due: the bagels were incredibly fresh, just as everyone says. The quality was definitely there. However, I'm going to be the odd one out and say I don't think the experience lives up to the hype. We ordered three bagels and two cream cheeses, and the total came out to about $25. For me, that's hard to justify. In what world should three bagels and two cream cheeses cost $25? What really didn't make sense was the bagel-to-cream-cheese ratio. The order came with two large containers of cream cheese, and after finishing our three bagels, we still had a massive amount left over. In fact, we later bought a dozen bagels from the grocery store and were able to use the leftover cream cheese on all of them. That's how much was left. Another downside is the limited menu. There are no egg sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, or other toppings--it's literally just bagels and cream cheese. Which is fine, but in my opinion, it turns it into a place you go to once and once that box is checked, you don't return as a go-to breakfast spot. Overall, while the bagels are fresh and tasty, I don't think the value is there. The prices are too high, the portion ratios don't make much sense, and the menu is extremely limited. For those reasons, I'd give Pop-Up Bagels a 3 out of 5 stars. read more

They do one thing and they do it exceptionally well and that's make bagels. I've been there a few times since they've opened and have never been disappointed. I got the urge for a bagel today and at 2:40 PM. I walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile. There were a couple of folks in front of me and I was still acknowledged and told "hey we will be right with you". The part that blew me away was the fact that I ordered half a dozen bagels and they were all still warm. They are cooking these up all day long and to be able to get fresh, and I mean FRESH out of the oven bagels 20 minutes before they close is remarkable. They've got a lifelong customer. read more

PopUp Bagels in Oceanside brings a fresh East Coast-style bagel experience to North County. The bagels are served hot from the oven with a crisp exterior and soft, chewy interior, making them best enjoyed the brand's signature "Grip, Rip and Dip" way with flavored schmears and butters. The menu is intentionally simple, focusing on quality rather than oversized sandwich creations read more

Storm (my rescue husky) pictured here is a bagel ambassador and gives it 10/10 paws. In a world full of people trying to be like someone else, PopUp bagel said "hold my schmear". This is not a bagel you cut in half and toast. It is meant to be gripped, ripped and dipped. Do it warm and it's the best carb you'll ever have. Do yourself a favor and pre order a dozen and add an extra schmear. You're welcome. read more

Really dislike the minimum bagel order requirement, would maybe look the other way on that if there were more variety in the bagels offered. Where are the sweet bagels? The specialty cream cheese is great though and staff is very friendly. read more

Stopped in for their soft opening today as I've heard incredible things about their brand. I bought a 3 pack with a scallion cream cheese and the bagels came out piping hot. The salt bagel was my favorite but $15 for 3 bagels and a cream cheese tub to dip them in seemed a little high to me. Definitely worth the try and I'll probably give them another shot as the bagels were awesome. read more

Delicious & definitely worth the hype!! Went this morning EARLY, like ridiculously early for a long weekend Saturday (7:00am) and there was already a line formed. Line moved quickly and efficiently and I was back in my car by 7:25. My co-workers LOVED them!! So much that I have to go back tomorrow EARLY and pick some up again!! So excited that they opened a new location. The La Jolla one is a colossal PITA, to find parking. The O'side location may have some difficulties as the word spreads but so far it was not a problem!! WELCOME TO OCEANSIDE!! Forgot to take pictures, but will do so tomorrow!! read more

Bagels were amazing and the spread is good too. However I feel like for the price they should give you more than 2 small tubs for a dozen bagels. Another thing is they don't have restrooms for customers. Only restrooms are for their employees which stinks! Hopefully they can get restrooms for their customers and then I'd say it's 5 stars. read more

Really good bagels, probably the best ones I've ever had. I have tried the everything, salt and plain bagels. The everything is my favorite, but messy. The salt and plain are good. I had the plain cream cheese and it was so good. They have dog treats so my beagle was happy too. read more

As a frequent visitor of the La Jolla location, let me tell you... Oceanside REALLY brought the energy!!! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with smiles. It's obvious that the employees love what they're doing. The bagels were also delicious (the salt bagels with scallion cream cheese is AMAZE)! I also love that the flavors of cream cheese/butter change each week! The long line was definitely worth the wait! The store was very clean and just had such an awesome vibe. If you have a chance to hangout and eat your bagels at the location, I highly recommend! A perfect snack to start your morning or end off your beach day!! read more

Was okay.. not enough bagel options nor cream cheese! Boring flavors I'll give it 5 months will definitely be slow ppl won't be coming in anymore read more
