Not a lot open in Los Alamos on the weekend, but Ruby K's is! It was described by a friend as "the closest thing you'll get to a real New York City bagel in New Mexico" and I think they were right! We got drinks next door at Sugar and Cream and brought them over to enjoy with our sandwiches mid morning. Lox was piled high and hit the spot. They make their own bagel chips and those were fantastic! Definitely a place to return to for a hearty and portable breakfast or lunch. read more

This is my first time in Los Alamos, went to visit my friends, so I took the train and buss to get there. The service was great, fast and nice workers. My food was ready in a jiffy. This place was very clean, since this place was very small, they had no restrooms. Although, the food was spectacular. I got a Classic Rueben for $12 with a fountain drink. It was very delicious. Give this a try, it won't disappoint. read more

A guest introduced us to the owner Ruby! Good chat. This diner has been open for 19 years. The parking lot was packed on a Sunday. Lox on an everything bagel. Mocha plus brown sugar and cinnamon syrup. Flat white. Sandwich read more

Awesome bagels! A nice place to eat across the street from the visitor's center. Parking is plentiful. They serve breakfast all day. There were a good number of tables if dining in. read more

The Ruby Club was delicious, really enjoyed it. I got the chicken enchilada soup and it was one of the most bland and empty soups I've ever had. No seasoning, no salt, no stuff either I felt like I was drinking broth. I had to put the bagel chips I got into my soup to give it a little substance. Sandwich was good though! I'd go back, just don't get the soup. read more

Their bagels are amazing! The cheddar bagel with green chile cream cheese is a must try. The prices are super reasonable. My parents live in Santa Fe and drive to Los Alamos for these bagels at least once a month that's how good they are. read more

Ruby K's Bagel Cafe - Cheddar bagel with green chile cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

Whatever I've said about jalapeno bagels being my favorites is long gone. I have found the perfect bagel, and that is the green chile bagel, specifically from Ruby K's in Los Alamos. My intention was to stop in this cute little cafe for just a regular bagel and butter but after surveying the menus for a moment I realized I needed to try one of their signature sandwiches. I chose to belly up to the "Up & Atom" (eggs and sausage topped with salsa and melted cheddar cheese on a green chile bagel, $5.69). The namesake derives from the town's popular Manhattan Project National Historical Park Visitor Center just across the street. Holy wowza, this bagel was DA BOMB (get it?). The bagel itself was SPICY, the egg super moist and the sausage bursting with flavor. I loved the salsa and there was plenty of cheddar. I'm sure Ruby's got some other kickass goods on her menu but if you ask me, this sandwich has gotta be one of the best picks. It's just SO GOOOOD! Also, I appreciated the complementary orange muffin. The sugar served as a great contrast to my spicy sammy. read more

There is nothing that excites me more than the thought of getting a fun little iced coffee and scrumptious little bagel sandwich. My sister is working at LANL for the summer and so we came to Los Alamos to explore and learn some history of her context. This was the perfect fuel for our adventurous day!! I had the bagel sandwich on an everything bagel and it was phenomenal. We also enjoyed a blueberry bagel which was fresh and the perfect bagel consistency. The mini muffin was a happy surprise!! I loved the view of the historic post office across the street!! Parking was tough as the lot filled up quick but we were able to street park a few blocks down. Ruby K's is the perfect spot to stop and fill up before a day exploring Los Alamos! read more

I had the Lots of Lox bagel sandwich and it was all that I expected it to be. It has smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onion, capers and tomatoes over a bagel. I opted for the green chile cheddar version for my bagel and it was good. What wasn't good was the long wait and also the fact that someone who arrived 20 minutes after me had their food prepared before mine. I assume this was because they are a regular, but that kind of treatment is not going to make me become one. read more

Ruby K's Bagel Cafe - Lots of Lox - Bagels Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

Ruby K makes great bagels and I love picking up a bag of various bagels sometimes. They also offer sandwiches, coffee, and desserts. I absolutely love having this great local business in town, which offers a solid alternative to Starbucks. Service is quick and everything I have every ordered has been served without issue. Seating is limited inside and there is some outdoor seating. However, Ashley Pond is across the street and bring breakfast over to the pond to enjoy on a bench is a great option. I will continue to return. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast sandwich and it was good, large enough to split. Staff were friendly and it was clean. Parking was easy and free. read more

Great online platform for ordering items to-go. Had an incredibly delicious bagel sandwich with turkey + avocado. Order was ready in the time promised. A great place to stop on the way up to the Jemez Mountains. read more

This was my first time, but my daughter has been here before. We went for breakfast yesterday and it was a great experience. Let's start with the food. First, my daughter is vegan and enjoys the menu. And you know how tough it can be to find a place to eat when there is a vegan in your group. Me? I had the "Jack and Eggs". Just one word to describe it, Mmmmm. I am born and raised in Louisiana, so I feel good saying "Great food". Nice kick to the Jack and Eggs. I definitely recommend it. Next, the service. Very friendly staff. Accommodating and sincerely asks good questions wanting to make everything right. I will definitely be back again. read more

Yowza - this place did not disappoint!! We drove from Santa Fe to experience this sweet restaurant and they knocked it out of the park! I wish they had a sister restaurant in Santa Fe ( hint...hint) read more

Good coffee, great breakfast options and plenty of seating/parking. My favorite is the beagle breakfast sandwiches they offer.

Great sandwiches and bagels. The bagel sandwich is my favorite with a side of fruit. I once had my side of veggies and was surprised they served raw veggies like from a grocery store. It was a bit odd and it didn't come with any dressing to dip in but you could ask for it. The bagel chips are also a good option with entrees. Prices are reasonable too considering the freshness of the bagels you get and quick service. read more

Delicious. Man, you can't go wrong here. I've had to take a break from the bagels because I've got no self control around them. Definitely a cool spot in Los Alamos! read more

We just moved from the east coast to LA, and the bagels here are basically on par with what we've had in New Jersey. You can tell that they're made fresh, have a good chew, and the seasoning on the bagels cover both sides and/or are incorporated throughout. They sell the bagels in bulk, although we haven't gotten a chance to get a sleeve since they're usually sold out by the time we come (we are definitely not morning people). We've come here several times already in the past few weeks, and the service is generally fast -- think 10-15 minutes if it's packed, which it usually is no matter what time. I like it simple, and I tend to get the Up and Atom (egg, sausage, & salsa bagel sandwich), along with a coffee or a smoothie. The salsa is great, the food is seasoned well and consistent, and every bagel sandwich always comes with a tiny, tasty muffin. re: coffee, as much as I've been spoiled by Seattle coffee, I have a pretty low bar for drip coffee, since I've had it burnt, watered down, or somehow turned to rocket fuel sludge, but it's pretty decent here. My husband and I get the house blend. I honestly don't understand the poor reviews on here. I know people here are itching for better brunch or breakfast fare here in LA, but for what Ruby K's is, it's pretty darn good. read more

Bagels were okay nothing wow about this place. Seems like a nice spot to grab a quick drink and light breakfast or lunch with a friend or colleague. Coffee was help yourself and the karaffs were empty. read more

I'm in Los Alamos a lot for work and food options are very slim. This place is definitely one worth going to! The bagel sandwiches are very tasty and the smoothies are refreshing. read more

Amazing lunch selection at Ruby K's today. I do not think this little breakfast and lunch cafe gets enough recognition in our little town. Ruby and her staff are consistent. They have the best customer service in town and best lunch selection! Thank you for great service every time I go in. read more

We just waited in line for *20 minutes*, starving, only to place our order and then be told that all of their credit card machines weren't working. I realize this was not the establishment's fault. What IS their fault, and the reason for this review, is the terrible customer service. There was no apology. No offer to allow us to wait while they rebooted their machines and fixed their mistake. Just a blank stare and a demand for cash before turning us away due to their error. WTF it's 2020 who carries cash?? Certainly no concessions offered either. If you're into being punished for the restaurant's faulty machine and love generally awful service, this is the place for you. read more

Yummy fresh bagels and variety of coffee choices. Staff is very friendly, patience and helpful. Great inviting local place to visit. read more

Ruby K's Bagel Cafe - Inside - Bagels Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

I was in Los Alamos for a wedding a couple of weeks ago. I had a few hours to explore by myself so I walked over to Ruby K's for lunch. The inside is cute! It has small town charm! It was busy and the line was almost out the door. They have a large variety of homemade bagels. They had some interesting flavors like hatch green Chile. I thought about trying it, but regrettably did not. I ordered a the Ruby K bagel sandwich. It had roast beef, turkey, ham, cheddar and aioli. I got it minus the aioli. I also got the homemade bagel chips as the side. My food came out pretty quickly. It was delicious! They were generous with the meat and the bagel was very good quality! The bagel chips were really good! They change flavors regularly, I'm guessing based on the bagels that were left over from the previous day. I highly recommend this place! I had a great meal and great service! read more

Ruby K's Bagel Cafe - Ruby K Club with bagel chips - Bagels Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

Ruby K's: You've been around a long time, and as time has gone on the quality of your bagels has started to degrade. Like many mornings when I stop here, I had a sunrise breakfast sandwich, and like almost every other morning the bagel seemed under cooked, and although it was toasted there wasn't anything toasted about the bagel (no crispy texture). I realize you have a captive audience in los alamos because there are no other bagel restaurants, so please improve for the benefit of your consumers. Picture posted is the soggy inside of supposedly toasted bagel... read more

No espresso's messed up order not the friendliness and they messed up order, maybe if the help was was better organized.. the babel once I finally got it was very good. read more

Thank goodness for Ruby K's. I went there with the expectation of "just another bagel shop". I was so surprised and delighted. Great homey atmosphere, super friendly service, and a huge selection of fantastic tasting bagels! I don't think I've ever had such soft and great bagels before...from any place I've traveled to. I would give this store greater than 5 stars for exceptionally tasty bagels and the coffee was great also. read more

Nothing special. Toasted bagel means slightly warm. Trash cans overflowing, tables dirty, floors a mess. Try to get an employee to smile, really next to impossible. I was looking for a local coffee shop, and this isn't it. read more

Had the portabella mushroom bagelwhich and it was def "mush"-y. I think a quarter cup of water dripped out of the sandwich when I picked it up. It was a soggy mess. I usually have- and in the future will stick with- the bagel dog. read more

Great atmosphere, great soup and sandwiches, very friendly. My very picky kid is happy to get a bagel toasted with butter and my eater loves the sandwiches and soup choices. Coffee could have been a bit hotter when we were there but other than that we'll definitely be back for more! read more

Good sandwiches, fast service, no bagels in sight. They have weird round breads with holes in them... but no bagels. Its almost like they don;t know what a bagel actually is. If they just changed their name to Ruby K's Cafe I think I would like it more. Bagel Cafe is misleading. I literally went home and tried to make bagels for the first time, just to see how hard it is to make a good bagel in Los Alamos. "Maybe it's the altitude or humidity," I thought to myself. NOPE. I made awesome chewy dense NY bagels at home on the first try. I'm not a good baker either. So... that theory was squashed pretty handily. I mean, I guess they did inspire me to start bagel-baking so that's a point in their column. I do actually like their sandwiches, as long as I just pretend they aren't on a bagel. They're good otherwise. read more

Excellent variety of bagels. Breakfast sandwich was very good. One of top 2 bagels we have had. Highly recommended.

The food was tasty and no line. Overall a positive breakfast experience. The cashier was helpful at helping me pick my food, the menu is quite big for a small place like this. The choices mainly involve some type of bagel (can be expected given the name). I liked the staff and the food. read more

Very disappointing my ham sandwich had 6 slices with the bone pieces on the sandwich. Luckily I felt the bone shard so no dental damage. I returned the sandwich to the counter the girl said "sorry about that" and walked away. I would not recommend this place. read more

I've only gotten a bagel here but that's in their name! It was pretty good and came out pretty quick. Definitely would consider taking half a dozen bagels home sometime. The bagel also came with a mini muffin which was also good! They have more than just bagels including sandwiches and smoothies which are things I would consider ordering next time I come! read more

We ordered Chicken breast focaccia & Turkey Raspberry. Delicious, very very delicious food.. And the smoothies are just awesome especially canyon cooler smoothie. Ample seating space as well as parking space. Highly recommended place!! read more

Ruby K's Bagel Cafe - Bagels Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

We found this place during a recent visit to Los Alamos. While visiting the Manhattan Project Historical Park (do go), we asked what lunch spots were nearby. Among those mentioned was Ruby K's. I wasn't really in the mood for a bagel but we came by anyway and, surprise (!), there's a whole menu of delights to consider. Yes, the majority of them include some type of bagel, but there are also wraps and salads and smoothies to choose from. I had the hot dog baked into a bagel roll that was more delicious than I care to admit (hot dogs are my guilty pleasure). If you're in need of a quick bite to eat in Los Alamos, don't pass Ruby K's by (as I almost did). read more

YUM! I was in Los Alamos for work for over 10 days and frequented Ruby's several times. The fresh bagels and cream cheese in the morning, the sandwiches for lunch, desserts and their great choices for fresh smoothies kept me and my coworkers coming back for more. Another great discovery on my food odyssey in Los Alamos...don't laugh I was pleasantly surprised at most of the food I was able to sample in my stay in the mountains. read more

What a cute little place, and cupcakes coming soon! I went here just for dessert and got the apple turnover thingy. My colleague got the cinnamon roll and it was tasty as well. I ate lunch right before somewhere else, and I found myself wishing I'd tried a sandwich here instead. Be warned visitors of Los Alamos this place closes at 3:00. Los Alamos is a sleepy little town, but Ruby K's was a pop of fun and quirk. read more

I'm a big fan of supporting local places and Ruby K's is one of the best bagel places I've ever visited. They're selection of sandwiches are great--I'm a big fan of the raspberry turkey but the lox are quite good too. They're smoothies are also delicious. They are gluten free conscious as well. read more
