This location specifically was EFFICIENT. I ordered 3 assorted bagels and a seasonal butter to take home and they had it ready before I could even sit down. The bagels were warm, and the atmosphere was very high energy. Staff was friendly, energetic, and dancing around. The only con here is there is little seating inside, like 2 tables max so its best to take on the go with you. read more

Step into my office. You are on fraud watch. I really thought this was going to be a good thing. I'm not sure about all of that. I felt short changed and run a muck. Saturday morning pulling up, optimistic. Met with a menu that made me buy bagels in increments of three. Odd but that's cool, I had two friends with me. Perfect. I rattle off my odder: everything bagel with CC and toasted lil butter. But not the case. They are not toasting the bagels?! Also, not slicing them and not putting anything on them?? Huh, bro lemme get an apron. I'll get in the back and do it myself instead of the labor you blowing with 15 people on staff just vibin out. (Good on you all, get that check) You are calling the cream cheese a "schmear" bruh you are not schmearing anything, I am. You just give me a tub of it. You should ask what container I want. Not what kinda schmear. How can I smear??? The bagel is not cut. I hope I'm missing out and I missed the run down of what's going on. Felt like a transplant bagel shop. A Trojan horse brought in from then north east people that have consumed Tampa. It is an amalgamation of a tiktok algorithm thrown up into a business. I'll be back. There must be something I'm missing. The hype was so high. You did a great marketing job but it has me thinking I'm the problem the way I don't see the hype. Bro I can't even make a bacon egg and cheese at a bagel place. Let that sink in. read more

I absolutely love this place! From the texture to the flavor; it is every you want in a bagel. There are so many flavor combinations to choose from and don't even get me started on their fluffy and flavorful smears. The employees are very Welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. The store has a great vibe with cute merch that you can purchase. They also have a cute little saying "Not Famous but known" And trust me you definitely want to know this place!! There is ample parking and is handicap accessible. read more

Popup Bagel is so deliciously addicting! I was so skeptical of the idea of ripping and dipping your bagel, but honestly it's genius. The bagels are always hot and fresh when you get them. It is unfortunate you can't just get 1-2 bagels with a small side of cream cheese - you have to commit or have people with you to share this with because it's best eaten fresh. The inside is decorated neat, but not many options for seating. Customer service is A+ Can't wait to come again! read more

They have Plain, salt, everything, sesame and poppy seed bagels. If you haven't tried these incredible bagels you must! read more

I heard about Popup Bagels from Yelp and decided to stop by for bagels and coffee on a Sunday morning while dropping family off at the airport. I parked in front of the store and ordered a 3-pack with specialty schmier and hot drip coffee. I received my order of bagels and coffee and headed home. At home, we enjoyed the bagels with their delicious and well-made schimer. They were a great way to start the day for breakfast. read more

This review is for the new Carrollwood location. So glad it's open. It's a little closer to Wesley Chapel and well worth the drive. I've been thinking about these bagels since my first trip to South Tampa. So yes.... I am one happy girl. I stuck with the Scallion smear. I am not very adventurous so I am not ready to try any of the other smears yet. I am sure I will. I do have my eye on one. For my bagel selection I got the 6 pack. 4 plain and 2 salt. I plan on making my husband a bagel sandwich with one of the plain. I am sure he will love it smeared with the Scallion smear. We are both definitely hooked on PopUp Bagels. read more

We have been enjoying Popup Bagels since their grand opening! My husband always picks up our bagels early in the morning when they first open to avoid the lines. The bagels are the best I have had in South Tampa after living in the area for the past 25 years. The bagels are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and the everything bagels are covered in tons of everything seasoning and flakey salt. They also sell a great jalapeño butter, but I prefer their whipped cream cheese. The shop is small so we always get our bagels and cream cheese to go. read more

Warmest bagels in Tampa. I'm in love. All I need is the Lox. IYKYK! Pop Up Bagel has a nice variety but my fav is the Salt bagel. Maybe because they were fresh out of the oven as I arrived. -I'm told the Everything Bagel is the most popular as you see featured below, but I'm often times the literal black sheep & that's okay!! Now that you know I've been here, guess who will be back. read more

You had me at New York bagels. And the quality verified such. Fresh. Fluffy inside. Warm and flavorful is what comes to mind when describing their bagels. Plain, everything, sesame and salt are your bagel options with cream cheese coming in your standard plain and scallion traditional flavors while offering seasonal flavors. They conveniently offer a pick up window outside on the side of the building for online orders making ordering ahead worth being proactive as the inside can get slammed. If not ordering ahead, step to the counter to place your order and listen for your name to be called. Simple, quick and easy process. Parking is limited in front of the building so be sure to drive around back for additional parking spaces. There is also limited seating to dine indoor with two high table tops inside and two outside. They are new to the Tampa area and Florida in general. The price is giving New York -- $21 for 6 bagels + schmear. Absolutely worth the drive from St. Pete. read more

Love this place! I first visited in New York, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. The bagels were always fresh and the spreads packed with flavor.

Popup Bagels is worth the hype! The smell when you walk in is so tantalizing. I went early in the morning so there was no line and I had my order immediately taken and given to me. There is an area on the side of the of the building for online order pickup. I opted for the 3 pack (everything, plain and salt bagels) with the vegan cream cheese. I made my usual avocado on the everything bagel and it was delicious. Soft, hot and very flavorful bagels. Although I made a mess with the everything bagel toppings. Please note: Consider going early because PopUp Bagel's storefront is on a very busy street with a small parking lot so it can be difficult getting in and out at peak times. read more

I had never been a big bagel lover because I always felt like the bread was too chewy and then when you warm it up or toast it it's too crusty and crunchy. But pop-up bagels have changed my mind on that. The bagels were very flavorful and came out fresh and hot and they put them in the bag while they were steaming. I had the salt, sesame and everything bagel. The staff told me salt was the best and i should've got all salt bagels. But I'll be back for more! The staff was nice , friendly and lively. The shop was open, clean and inviting. The only downfall is , is i got the horseradish butter but i didn't taste any horseradish in it. Which was a bummer. It taste more like a garlic butter P.S i made my own egg and cheese breakfast bagel out of one. And it was soooo good read more

Best bagels in all of Florida and maybe all of the US. We visited one in New York City and then another in Connecticut because they were so good, and then found out there's one in Tampa. They are soft and they have great smears, including a brown sugar, butter, that is amazing. Go as soon as you can! read more

Everyone has been ranting and raving about PopUp Bagels and at first I was hesitant. I could not imagine bagels being that good. When they first opened there were probably a hundred people in line wrapped around the building. I finally went on Saturday and luckily it was not a long wait. We got everything, plain, and salt bagels. This week we tried the mac and cheese cream cheese and the truffle cream cheese. Please bring back the truffle cream cheese because it was insane. I am not a big fan of Crumbl Cookies but this is something I can get behind. The bagels are light and fluffy and you rip and dip into the cream cheese which I love. I am dying to go back just to try more. I only wish they did not close at 3 because I would totally stop by after work. The staff was nice and quick. I do wish the parking was better but overall it was absolutely worth the hype. read more

Nice spot for a quick bagel breakfast. The bagels here are very good. However, it's very basic and simple- not many options. No sandwiches, just bagels and maybe 5 schemers. I don't eat dairy so I am limited to their 1 vegan cream cheese. It takes away a little of the fun not having a cup of schemer to dip the bagel in. The bagels also are very small and you have to get them in packs of at least 3 I believe. If I was in the area again I would come back, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Really enjoyed this new bagel spot in Tampa! It was poppin on a Saturday morning and the workers were bustling around like a busy bagel factory. Even though they were busy, as soon as we walked in the workers called out to welcome us. The whole bagel making process was visible to the customers and we watched as fresh bagels were made and dumped into the boxes. We went with the simple 3 bagels + 1 spread option and got the sesame seed bagel, everything bagel, salt bagel, and the scallion cream cheese. When we got home and tried them, the bagels were still warm. The inside was nice and soft and we did the recommended method of tearing a piece of bagel off and scooping out the cream cheese with it. The cream cheese was nice and salty and the scallions were fresh tasting, a perfect balance with the warm bagel. Overall, I really enjoyed Popup Bagels and will definitely return. read more

Popup bagels is such an elite experience and it's so fun it is new to the Tampa area. Service is quick and vibes are always great. Popup bagels is known for a rip and dip technique. So, you rip a piece of your bagel and dip it the schmear of your choice. It's absolutely delicious, and makes for a fun bagel experience. It also gives the perfect ratio of bagel to schmear. Prices are fair and the bagels are always hot and fresh. They're chewy, yet crispy around the edges and so full. You will be so satisfied! Their salt bagel is one of the best and they always release fun cream cheeses and butters. We are always kindly greeted and met with such great hospitality! read more

Popup Bagels is the newest eatery to get fresh bagels. The bagels are piping hot. There's only 4 types of bagel and the shears change out weekly. The line, of course, is long but it goes fast. You can order online and go to the pickup to get order. One of the employees marks your paper bag of the order, you walk in and give your paper bag to the cashier. Also, you can order something drink too. It's pretty cool looking inside. My order took like less than a minute to come out because I the 3-pack. FYI - there's room to park in the back especially down behind Jimmy John's. Yeah, I will go back. read more

I love this place. The staff is so friendly, the service is super fast and I personally live for a "rip and dip" bagel . They have rotation schmears you have to try if you don't want to miss out. Last week they had green goddess and it was to die for. Scallion is my staple go to otherwise and is always available. I like to keep it simple with a Salt bagel, they come out warm and perfectly balanced. Minimum order of 3 bagels and one CC. Remember Bagels NOT Sandwiches , as the world intended lol Quick in and out spot but a few seats are available to eat in/ right outside - though it can get crowded in the morning so keep that in mind. read more

PopUp Bagels - Scallion CC is a must - Bagels Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This was definitely a unique experience and a fun one! The bagels are served super hot and they're very fluffy, which I enjoyed, but I wouldn't say it's a traditional bagel. It's fun to rip the bagels apart and dip them in the spread as well! The service is very quick, though I was confused about the process at first. Essentially you have to order the bagels in a pack, so it's a minimum of 3 bagels and 1 spread. I shared the 3 bagels with one other person and it was perfect for a meal, since these bagels aren't super dense or big. The ambiance is alright, there's some seating inside and some outside but it does get a bit crowded. The people making orders shout things out like "hot bagels," but it can get a little overstimulating. Overall I like the bagels and the experience and I'd come back, but probably as more of a once in a while type deal. read more

Bagels are some of the best we've had, and I contend that I grew up eating the best bagels in Jersey. Love the creative schmears. Music is pumping, this is a very lively atmosphere and we were there on a Saturday morning, people constantly walking in, but they keep the line moving so you don't really wait more than five minutes. There is seating for about eight people, clearly more of a takeout vibe here, very simple menu, order a minimum of three-pack-and-schmear. Would love to see tea as an option. read more

Absolutely delicious and flavorful. I love rotating flavors and can't wait until I find another schmear to look forward to. Flavor is a 5/5 but the only reason I removed a star was because of the price point (it's expensive) and because I wish they gave more options like breakfast sandwiches or something.

I finally got to try Pop-Up Bagels in Tampa and now I understand what all the hype is about! I ordered an Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and it was perfection. Crisp and golden on the outside, soft and chewy inside, just like a real New York-style bagel should be. The scallion cream cheese was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, not too heavy, with just enough scallion bite to make every bite savory. What I loved most is that everything tasted super fresh, you can tell these bagels are baked in small batches with real care. The pop-up vibe adds to the fun, and the staff was friendly and quick even with a line out the door. If you're a bagel purist or just craving something satisfying and authentic, Pop-Up Bagels is 100% worth the visit. read more

New York! Massachusetts! Connecticut! Tampa? Yes!!!! This bagel joint popped up here... and yay, us! This place is fun-and yum. I popped in on a Thursday morning and it was buzzing. The doors were wide open and the energy was humming. I was greeted right away by an enthusiastic employee, who walked me through the concept and choices. There are five flavors of bagels: plain, poppyseed, salt, sesame and everything. They were all baked fresh, right there (you can see into the open kitchen and watch them come out) and it smelled amazing in there. You have to order at least three bagels... and you get your choice of one schmear. I went with two salt and a sesame with the salted butter schmear. As they told me twice, the bagel culture here is rip and dip... the bagels aren't sliced or combined with something to make a sandwich. You pull 'em apart and swirl or dunk right into that tub o' schmear. Sure, I'm in! Oh yeah, that warm, fresh sesame bagel-which was somehow chewy and light at the same time-with the perfect amount of seeds-and was so flavorful, even without the added spread... was perfect with it. That salted butter started to melt in--and I went with it. It was love at first bite. Quite simply, that was the best sesame bagel I've ever had. I can laminate that-it's a lock. And I enjoyed the salt bagels, too. So, the bagel flavors stay the same-and there are three steady schmears: salted butter, plain cream cheese and scallion cream cheese. They also have two special schmears each week. When I was there, they were: lemon caper dill butter and caramelized onion cream cheese. (Next week, it's truffle butter and Kraft Mac n cheese cream cheese!) You can also add smoked salmon to your bagel. But that's it, that's the menu. They do what they do and they do it well. This shop is on West Kennedy Boulevard... near Westshore Mall-at the end of a strip mall. It's full of natural light-and bright, colors. The vibes are young and on the move. There are two high top, bright yellow tables to stand at-and a couple of orange high tops with stools, out front. This isn't a place to hang out and work or study all day. It's too high voltage for that. Enthusiastic staff... dedicated branding... next level bagels... and yay, lots of parking and a walk up window, outside on the side, for pre-orders... yeah, I'll be back! Mornings are poppin'! read more

I love how focused Pop Up Bagels business model is. They sell freshly made, straight into the bag bagels and schmear (cream cheese). Period. Options like Jalapeño cream cheese and Ocean Spray cranberry butter are utterly unique and really well done. Candidly, I don't know that I've ever had a freshly baked bagel. They're amazing. Great standard menu, wide array of specialty options, plenty of parking in the back, spotless, great staff (who take a moment w you to explain the ordering process and what's available), some good SWAG, juices and a little bit of outdoor seating. Again, a targeted objective and perfectly executed. Get there and get a three pack or a sample dozen asap. Don't want to create unfair expectations but I think a friendly approach in my part might have gotten me a fourth bagel dropped into my three pack! read more

Really good bagels and schmears. I do wish that they would be full service (ie cut and toast my bagels, make a sandwich), but they do have a nice product overall. They make their bagels fresh, so you can get what is on hand, or you have to wait until the bagel flavor you want is finished baking. There were a lot of us waiting for the hot bagels on my visit, but that's a good thing. Happy that there's a decent NYC style bagel place in South Tampa, and looking forward to trying out new schmear flavors. read more
