Popup Bagels is one of the most TikTok viral restaurants this summer, as there are so many viral videos showcasing the new Popup Bagels New York City location. But is Popup Bagels actually the best bagel in New York? Or is it just social media fueled hype?
While bagels are a NYC staple, Popup Bagels is actually originally from Connecticut. The founder started making bagels as a pandemic hobby and selling them in a makeshift popup bagel shop from his garage. The bagels proved so popular that he decided to open the first Popup Bagels in Greenwich, Connecticut. Since then, Popup Bagels has spread to three other locations in Connecticut, and now it has a location in Manhattan. The Popup Bagels Greenwich Village location is the focal point of all the viral hype, but is Popup Bagel overrated or does it live up to the hype? Is it better than other epic bagels in NYC like Ess-A-Bagel or Russ and Daughters? We promise to give it a fair review independent of any social media hype, and will not be swayed positively or negatively by the hype!

ay congrats UA on the sponsorship! lets get this man to do this as a main gig!

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

The day you get to do this as a main hustle let’s have a huge celebration on this channel! Congrats on the sponsor!!

[@frankcastle4213]

Not sold on those bagels. They do infact look soft like eating a loaf of Italian bread at the supermarket. If you know anything about excellent bagels, the bagel should have a good chew to them so to speak otherwise it just sucks. Looks like he's doing something right though but I don't get it.

[@badgebadge8946]

As a smaller channel, I wanted to subscribe early. Your reviews feel honest, which is lacking in many other channels. Go for it bro!

[@jenniferfrank1652]

So proud of you. You are a very honest critic. Would love to see your favorite bagel spots. You are unique, fresh, and original. Can't wait for the next video.

[@doutorgori327]

Watching UA videos while having dinner after a day of work has become a tradition!

[@jeffreygeorge219]

I like a dense chewy Bagel, we have NY boiled bagels here, best ever. The everything/sliced w CC is da bomb..

[@ND-pe9zg]

can't stop binging your videos, keep up the great work! love the channel

[@tompaciga7386]

Always enjoy your content

[@piddles11]

Entertaining videos! Thank you The go to place in the eighties was H&H on Broadway. Have no idea if they are still around.

[@andrewcope5114]

Love your videos UA. I don’t know if you’ve tried Tompkins Square Bagels but their cucumber dill spread on any bagel except sweet is really good. My wife’s fave is Brooklyn Bagels on 8th Ave and 25th/24th st.

[@RyanCoomer]

YESSSSSSS sponsored!!!! YOU DESERVE IT DUUDE!!!

[@TheSanityMachine33]

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Great video. For me, nothing beat a warm plain bagel cut in half with a pat of butter.

[@john2914]

You are right. Not sure why all the crap they put on them attracts people. I rarely toast my bagel. Put butter on it and it's great.

[@user-up9iq7ic8z]

My best is Creem Cheese and Samon! you're MAKING ME HOUNGRY!!!

[@joenovak6393]

Flully is a dog's name and 3 types is very limited and last, I look for crispy and chewy - dense bagels.

[@anggaprahadi9840]

Great video as always! Also, definitely got me excited in trying Raid Shadow Legends (your welcome)

[@kennymckown8603]

Hey bro ! Those looked good , fluffy ! Living in FL. We have Einstein bagles ! I'm really not a fan but I've alot for a snack , I think they're just a stale doughnut !

[@pcmacintyre]

Fluffy bagels?!? I see the legacy of Noah's Bagels has ruined what passes for New York bagels nowadays. Ultra soft bagels with ultra hard cream cheese? I'll pass.

[@johnkovalicky3389]

Oh yeah right Noah's Bagels I'll pass too but when you live in California from the East Coast New York New Jersey I'll take what I can get all we have here in La is called Western Bagels they suck😅

[@drothberg3]

This video reminded me of getting bagels as a child with my mother at Hot Bagels in Fair Lawn, NJ, and eating a hot bagel on the car ride home, plain with no spread, and it was so good. I lived in NYC after that and still maintain that the best bagels were Hot Bagels in Fair Lawn.

[@demanager0412]

u sound and look great bro no worries!

[@timessquareblue5476]

In my day bagels were supposed to be dense, not fluffy.

[@sfguy_2k22]

ur right...I remember bagels being dense too

[@SimplyJack3]

Kids these days don't want to chew to hard. To much work.

[@Zamiroh]

Same I don't recall bagels being fluffy

[@Power2Think]

As long as they are slightly chewy, the fluffiness is a plus.

[@afcgeo882]

It’s not about your day. It’s how a bagel is supposed to be - with chew and pull.

[@chriszenko3598]

Best Bagels I ever had was not in the city but at a small bagel shop called Danny’s in Lynbrook Long Island. It’s owned by a Asian couple who have become bagel masters their bagels are Michelin

[@lucianac4388]

Duly noted. Thanks for the tip!

[@finnishyourplate]

I had these bagels but from the Greenwich location a few months ago. I was disappointed with them, mine weren't even warm, so I was wondering what's the point of setting a pickup time when they're not even hot. Maybe if they had actually been hot it might have been a different story, but I guess I will never know...

[@dog1dog223]

UA - Why is the closed captuon function always automatically on eith your videos? It's the only channel where I've ever experienced this.

[@dkgong]

Now I have a craving for bagels.

[@ChamP10nk1ng]

Back in 19' i specifically ate at only one bagel shop that was across the street from Charles pan fried on 72nd street. I usually got the roast beef 👍

[@SimplyJack3]

Only 3 flavors? Not even a plain one? Hiw hard could it be for them to make a plain one?

[@erch4882]

My favorite bagel is potato bagel from Einstein bagel with their fluffy shmear

[@sundaybest27]

Hi UA! What camera do you use for filming to make sure you're getting great all the right camera angles and audio for your audience?

[@elliotsklar5419]

I want my bagel sliced at the bagel shop and the cream cheese in the middle

[@ViolinistWilliam]

Fantastic video and I agree with you about their scallion. It’s way below average.

[@alant.541]

I predict this will be a pandemic MAIN hustle for you. PopUp Bagel is going on my NYC bucketlist. Looked really good. Thanks "AU." 😂

Can you try JUST BAGELS in the BRONX ? LOCATED IN THE HUNTS POINT SECTION OF THE BRONX . Thank you !

Bagels are still the best from New Jersey! Quite a few great Bagel Shops around. Catch them fresh out of the oven when the stores first open up!🥯😋🥯 Feel better UA!!🙌😉👍🏽

[@lorifreeman1746]

Yum ❤

[@sundaybest27]

Florida needs decent bagels now lol

[@MattDV]

Thanks UA ! Have to check them out. Let's collab on an episode. #mattdv

[@rdgwd237]

Also spread , don't dip

[@Peter-ok9bj]

Is what are the bagel and spread prices?

[@johnkovalicky3389]

Yeah so great honest review as always however of course there's a however. The bagels themselves look good but it looks like the outer layer didn't have that hard texture like a good Jewish bagel interior look okay as far as the cream cheese that was spreadable cream cheese and of course they have to give it to you cold if you use a knife with one of those cream cheeses variations it would have went on to your bagel much easier then dipping The Bagel into the cream cheese look good to me perfect. It's not all about the host personal pet peeves about cream cheese and bagels not having enough salt on them if you get a sesame bagel it just has sesame if you got a poppy-seed bagel it just has poppy seed and everything bagel has everything including kosher salt okie dokie I think you get my point❤❤

Hard to get New York style bagels in Pennsylvania

Hard to get anything in Pennsylvania.

[@alisachamoy225]

My favorite is Ess-a-Bagel. I checked out the website for this place and it looks like you have to order a minimum of 42 bagels?? Is there any way to order less than 42?

[@dickriggles942]

That's NOT true. That's for catering and delivery, most likely. I went there, you can definitely just order one.

[@nsbioy]

Yes, 42 minimum and no to go orders. 😂😂😂

[@ronchu4453]

your videos are solid , but you been at this for 2 years now? you gotta start doing some youtube shorts man to bump up your subscriber count and exposure.

Just like Leonard's malasadas, if it's not right out of the oven, you're wasting your time.

[@afcgeo882]

Bagels are never supposed to be eaten right out of the oven.

[@jaysonnadelson2188]

Smear, is not cream cheese. It’s how to spread the cream cheese.

[@stephenfisher3721]

Sorry, you don't know your slang. Nadelson could be a Jewish name but maybe you are assimilated. As Wikipedia states:The use and spelling of schmear or shmear in American English is a direct loanword from Yiddish, where its original usage referred to cheese. In modern usage it has extended to anything that can be spread, such as cream cheese spread upon a bagel.

[@jaysonnadelson2188]

@@stephenfisher3721 I am Jewish and never believe anything you read on Wikipedia. Anybody can put something on there and it may not be fact.

[@jonsher7682]

@@stephenfisher3721 Wikipedia is not an authoritative source. Shmirn (שמירן) in Yiddish is a verb that means 'to spread' while shmirkez (שמירקעז) is a noun that means 'cream cheese'.

[@stephenfisher3721]

@@jonsher7682 You are correct about Yiddish but we are talking about how this word is used in English. According the Merriam Webster dictionary online: 2 informal : a layer of a spreadable food or condiment He eats one virtually every day, 'round noon or 1 p.m., topped with the faintest schmear of peanut butter. -Mary Bilyeu especially : a layer of cream cheese … the reverential tones that the Milanese reserve for a perfect risotto, or New Yorkers for a classic bagel with a schmear. -Jack Knox While visiting New York a few years ago, Dan Winters popped into a bodega and ordered a plain with a schmear. The clerk just stared at him, and Winters, who spent four years in the city starting in the late 1980s, realized the guy had no idea what he was saying. Times had changed, even for breakfast. "No one said, 'Let me get a bagel with cream cheese,'" Winters says. "It was 'plain with a schmear.'" -Laura Mallonee

[@jonsher7682]

@@stephenfisher3721 In American English, the word can be used as either a noun or a verb. While Meridian Webster only cites the former, it is found elsewhere in American English as a verb too. As you know as someone who enjoys words, meanings evolve over time and are not static. Either as a noun or verb, it is delicious!

Tbh, a bagel is bagel .. boring hard bread .. don’t know why the hype about them .. hard to eat

[@stephenfisher3721]

Either you did not grow up with good bagels or you are not Jewish. When I was a child in a small town in the Midwest, bagels were a Jewish ethnic food. It was not well known and hard to get. During the next fifty years, bagels have become a common American food. However, most bagels today are either horrible, mediocre, or a strange new flavor. Traditionally, American Jews eat bagels with lox but lox has not become a common American food. There are many American Jews whose only connection to Judaism is through American Jewish food and they are often called "Bagel and lox Jews".

[@cdnsilverdaddy]

sorry but in the end, it is just bread... boring tbh @@stephenfisher3721
