Bagel lovers, get ready: award-winning bagel concept PopUp Bagels is bringing its signature, oven-fresh experience to the Carrollwood neighborhood this November. Though the exact date is still to be announced, the new location marks an exciting milestone for the brand and the local community.

Founded in 2020 in Connecticut and now celebrated across the East Coast, PopUp Bagels has built its reputation on delivering whole, hot-out-of-the-oven bagels—no slicing, no sandwiches—alongside bold, rotating schmears. Their motto: “Grip. Rip. Dip.®”  a nod to the way customers tear into a fresh bagel and dip it into cream cheese, right then and there.

In choosing Carrollwood for its next Florida location, PopUp Bagels aims to serve Tampa Bay’s growing appetite for premium bagel culture. As the brand enters the market, residents can look forward to:

• A full menu of freshly baked bagels, think plain, everything, poppy seed, sesame, all served hot and whole

• Weekly rotating schmears that go beyond the usual cream cheese offering, with inventive flavors designed to delight

• A welcoming, community-focused environment where the passion for great bagels meets a local neighborhood vibe

We’ll be sharing the official opening date and special launch details as soon as they’re confirmed, so stay tuned! In the meantime, mark your November calendars and prepare to discover what “bagel done right” can taste like in your own backyard.
