Bubbie's Bagels

So we came with this on our hitlist, as we are always looking for great new bagel spots. We ordered this in advanced since we heard it gets very busy. When I went to pick it up, there was a line out the door! Thankfully our meal was already ready to pickup. I got the BLT bagel (seasonal item) and man it was loaded! Lots of cream cheese, veggies and bacon. The most important part is the bagels themselves are fantastic. Just the right amount of bite to chewy ratio. The price was right on the spot to what I’d expect from a bagel sandwich. Check this place out and make sure to put an online order to avoid the wait.

I love Bubbie's Bagels!! It is one of my two favorite places to get bagels in Traverse City. You can walk in and order or place an order online. Both ways are efficient and easy. So I have been coming here for years. The staff is always polite, courteous, and efficient. The bagels are amazing as are the salt sticks. Their blueberry, cinnamon-raisin, everything, and...well you get the picture, all their bagels are amazing. They are freshly made each day and I try to buy just enough for the day.

An inclusive spot for quality bagels, sandwiches and other offerings. There is also art displayed and for sale. The bagels and offerings are very good. The staff is helpful and friendly. It is a hive of efficient activity resulting in quality sandwiches, baked goods and treats. The bagels are the right amount of chewy and soft on the inside. The flavors are delicious too. I got the za’atar bagel, using a Middle Eastern spice blend. It was very good. They sell the za’atar spice blend too. Don’t be shocked by a line out the door. There is no spot for eating in, so also be prepared for that. There is a nod to the matriarch, Bubbie, with her portrait in the receipts, the website and an oil painting of Bubbie and her husband. Limited merch is available too. All around a great small business with delicious and fresh food. Well worth a visit.

As a first time visitor to Traverse City, this bagel shop came highly recommended! As I arrived around 9am on Saturday morning there was a line out the door. I ended up waiting about 15 minutes until I got up to the counter to order. After I ordered I only waited about 5 minutes for my bagels to be ready. They really had quick service which was awesome! The inside of the restaurant is small, making it tight when the line gets long and people are waiting for their food. The staff were super friendly and personable which really made the experience better. I ordered the nosh which I enjoyed! The bagel did eat a little tough and chewy in my opinion but the sandwich as a whole was tasty. They have a wide variety of bagels and cream cheese, making the menu diverse. I would return to this place to try another bagel sandwich in the future!

We are visitors in the area and wanted fresh bagels so searched online and headed over. Oh 👏🏼 my👏🏼 gosh👏🏼!! First impression/thought: people swarm here because there’s a line. Second: what a cute atmosphere with very well thought of placement of tables and merchandise to ensure the line moves fast and efficiently. Third: I feel like this must be the happiest little bagel shop in the world because the staff is fun and engaging while still being very proficient. Seriously, this place works like clockwork. That’s all great, but what about the product? It’s grab and go, so be prepared for that. I had the Nosh on Parmesan black pepper, and I absolutely love that they use local bacon. (Support your small business community!) I promise I’m telling the truth when I tell you I looked at this sandwich and my mouth fell open. It was beautiful. The melted cheese strung across as I pulled the two halves of sandwich apart, I saw the crispy outing of the bagel with its moist, soft inside. There was plenty of thick cut bacon, cooked perfectly, not fatty at all. I tore a small piece of bagel off just to try it by itself and it was delicately crispy and chewy- the literal perfect bagel. The ratio to everything created deliciousness! No one in my party could eat more than half their sandwiches in one sitting, they were so big, so well worth the roughly $12 price tag per sandwich because it made 2 meals. We will definitely be going back to Bubbie’s Bagels in the future!
