Bagel lovers, get ready—PopUp Bagels Tampa is about to change the breakfast scene forever. The award-winning bagel spot known for its “not famous but known” charm is bringing its first Florida shop to 4528 W. Kennedy Blvd. in Westshore. Opening officially on September 5, this expansion marks a bold new chapter for a brand that has already taken New York and Connecticut by storm.

From Backyard Pickup to National Fame
What started in 2020 as a backyard pickup in Connecticut quickly became a nationwide sensation. Founder Adam Goldberg turned his homemade creations into a two-time champion at Brooklyn BagelFest, showing the world what makes PopUp Bagels irresistible. Each location thrives on simplicity: whole bagels hot from the oven, always unsliced, never made into sandwiches. The experience is hands-on and communal—grip it, rip it, dip it, and savor every bite.
What Tampa Can Expect
The new 1,796-square-foot shop promises to deliver everything that made the brand a cult favorite in the Northeast. Customers will enjoy rotating schmears with flavors like pesto butter, scallion with a twist, or lemon poppyseed butter. Every bagel is baked to perfection—crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside—and served fresh throughout the day. Hours are Sunday through Monday, 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Franchise partner Kal Gullapalli notes, “Florida deserves great bagels, and PopUp has the best product out there.” Over the next year, expect 30 new locations to open across Florida, including Orlando and South Florida, creating a true bagel movement.
Why PopUp Bagels Stands Out
- Rotating schmears: New flavors every week keep breakfast exciting.
- Hot, whole bagels only: No slicing, no sandwiches—just pure bagel joy.
- Preorder system: Guarantee your dozen by preordering via email or app for ultimate freshness.
With its focus on quality, tradition, and community, PopUp Bagels is set to become Tampa’s newest breakfast hub and a destination for anyone craving authentic bagel culture.
The Future of Bagels in Florida
This Tampa launch is just the beginning. With plans to expand rapidly across Florida, PopUp Bagels is on track to redefine how Floridians think about breakfast. For fans of authentic flavors, small-batch quality, and bold food experiences, the future looks deliciously chewy.
