Have you ever had a bagel that just stopped the world? Made every single bagel that you've had in your past seem so not worth it?
Discovering Popup Bagels
For me this has only ever happened in NYC at a bagel shop, but now that Popup Bagels has arrived in Palm Beach, it has also happened in my home town.
Popup Bagels - the bagel as it should be.
For my fiance's birthday my mother ordered him bagels from Popup Bagels and he was like a kid in the candy shop when this news hit his lap.
We'd had Popup Bagels once before when my family was in town, and the bagels blew our socks off.
So what is Popup Bagels?
It's a bakery that offers fresh bagels for pickup on weekends. The bagels are known for their crispy crust and soft crumb center. They have locations in Connecticut, NYC, LA and now Palm Beach!!
But here's the deal. You have to sign up for their drops, then you get a text to order them in advanced, you select your choice of a dozen bagels with a choice of two specialty spreads, and then you choose a pickup window that works for your schedule.
Popup Bagel Bliss Unleashed
The bagel choices:
- sesame
- plain
- poppy
- everything
- salt
We got the everything and the salt Popup Bagels (our favorites):
The Spectacular Schmears Selections
The schmears:
- strawberry basil cream cheese
- pesto butter
- plain cream cheese
- scallion cream cheese
We got the scallion cream cheese and the limited edition herb everything cream cheese!
The schmears change weekly. I've seen flavors like cinnamon butter, creme brule butter, french onion cream cheese, 50 clove garlic and more. Popup Bagels schmears have more variety and creativity than a bagel with a sprinkling of "everything" seasoning.
Popup Bagels also "Popup" anywhere and everywhere, I'd recommend following their instagram at popupbagels to see where they're going next.
Also you can check their website that has more information.
Bagel Bouncer - No Hassle Popup Bagel Pickup
After you've placed your order and it's now pickup day to get your bagels, it's an super easy process.
You drive up to your location and there is a "bagel bouncer" who hands you your bag. I mean….. the service is unreal!
We didn't even have to get out of our car!
The bagels were still warm upon pickup. They were baked fresh on the same day. We couldn't wait to get home and dive in on the baaaaags.
They are so worth the hype. Plus there is something about preparing for the bagels and then rewarding yourself with their deliciousness after all the planning and waiting.
As an avid planner, I love to plot pickups on the calendar and carve out the time for a special delivery to the home. It's such a special treat.
If you're thinking about trying a bagel that's crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside, is the perfect size with the perfect proportions of seeds, then you've found your match with Popup Bagels.

My pictures and descriptions truly do not do these bagels the justice that they deserve.
