The Tampa Bay food scene just got a major boost as “Super popular PopUp Bagels” opens its second location in Carrollwood. Known for its award-winning bagels and “not famous but known” approach, the new spot at 12817 N Dale Mabry Hwy delivers the same fresh, hot-out-of-the-oven experience fans love. Already a favorite from New York to Massachusetts, PopUp Bagels has made its official Tampa Bay footprint stronger.
Expanding Tampa’s Bagel Scene
PopUp Bagels first debuted in Tampa at WestShore Plaza (4528 W Kennedy Blvd) in September, earning a loyal following instantly. The Carrollwood location continues this tradition, offering bagels crafted with crispy crusts, soft centers, and a perfect balance of seeds. Each batch is baked with precision, from ingredient selection to proofing and expert baking techniques, ensuring every bite is an authentic bagel experience.
The Signature Grip, Rip, and Dip® Style
Fans know PopUp Bagels for its unique Grip, Rip, and Dip® style. Unsliced, whole bagels are paired with a rotating lineup of schmears, allowing customers to tear, dip, and savor each bite. Whether grabbed for breakfast on the go or enjoyed at home with favorite toppings, the bagels are designed to delight. A hand dipping a torn-off piece into cream cheese perfectly captures the interactive, flavor-packed experience.
A National Favorite, Now Local
Founded by Adam Goldberg in Westport, Connecticut, PopUp Bagels quickly grew from a local favorite into a national sensation. The concept intentionally skips traditional sandwiches in favor of serving bagels fresh from the oven, emphasizing simplicity done right. Creative collaborations with chefs, tastemakers, and top brands have introduced exciting new schmear flavors, elevating the classic bagel-and-cream-cheese pairing.

The Carrollwood shop is open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., making it easy for Tampa Bay residents to enjoy hot, fresh bagels any morning.
