Roslyn’s food scene got another serious upgrade with the arrival of Pop Up Bagels, a rip-and-dip bagel concept that’s redefining breakfast one hot bagel at a time. What started as a small, invite-only bagel pop-up in Connecticut has quickly become a phenomenon, and now residents can get a taste of what all the buzz is about. Unlike your traditional bagel shop, Pop Up Bagels is all about quality over quantity. Their motto? “Not famous, but known.”
At Pop Up Bagels, the focus is on small-batch, hand-rolled bagels that are baked fresh throughout the day, ensuring every bite is warm, crisp on the outside, and perfectly chewy on the inside. Pair that with their creative "schmear" flavors which change up weekly, and you’ve got an experience that feels elevated yet approachable.
Why the Schmears Are the Real Show-Stoppers
What truly sets Pop Up Bagels apart are its creative “schmears”, (cream cheese & butter flavors) which rotate weekly and invite a sense of playfulness to every visit. Their website updates “Currently Available” and “Upcoming” schmears every Wednesday, making each visit a chance to discover something unexpected.
Their lineup has included whimsical collaborations and nostalgic flavors:
-
A playful UTZ Cheese Ball cream cheese
-
Frank’s Red Hot butter
- Oishii Berry Strawberry Cream Cheese
-
The seasonal favorite “Big Apple Schmear” (caramel-apple inspired), created with The New York Post
- Grillo's Pickle-De-Gallo Cream Cheese
Why locals love it:
-
Always fresh, never sitting out
-
Unique flavors and spreads you won’t find anywhere else
-
A community vibe
Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, picking up for the office, or grabbing a dozen for weekend entertaining, Pop Up Bagels has quickly become a Roslyn favorite
