Ruby’s Bagels

We pre-ordered a half-dozen bagels (rosemary, sesame and cinnamon cranberry) and some jalapeño cream cheese (the best!) and then decided to grab a hot sandwich once we got there. We went with a classic bacon, egg & cheese and added a slice of tomato. Our bagels were ready, and our sandwich came out hot and melty as soon as they made more bacon (they let us know it would be a few extra minutes - and bacon is worth the wait!). We took our food to go since it was chilly, but there are tables if you want to hang out. Everyone is super friendly, they're working hard and getting food out quickly, and the bagels and breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. Totally worth a little drive from the 'burbs.

I know I have reviewed Ruby's before and now that I've been enjoying their bagels for 4.5+ years I can confirm and re-confirm that these bagels are awesome, perfect, and very yummy! And yes, you can pre-order for pick-up. You can choose a dozen bagels, half a dozen, or a 4-pack.Don't wait if you haven't tried Ruby's bagels before!

Ruby's is highly recommended in the press, so it was our first stop after landing in Milwaukee on a Friday morning. We expected one of the best bagels in the country, as they have been listed in a reputable food magazine as such -- that expectation may have been our undoing. Ruby's might offer the best bagel in Milwaukee but it is not one of the best in the USA. The bagels are flavorful; That really cannot be credibly denied. I very much enjoyed my Rosemary Salt bagel with cream cheese. The rosemary on my bagel was largely on the surface of the bagel and I do think that is a mistake. The rosemary is sharp and at times piercing. Smaller pieces of rosemary infused in the bagel would be a better approach.The texture of the bagels is a bit doughy. I don't think Ruby's uses an egg wash and that might help to crisp up the bagels a bit.Coffee was excellent.

The softest chewiest bagels. Generous cream cheese, fresh veggies. I always get the lox sandwich and I have never been disappointed. Service is great and friendly no matter how busy they are. I always order online because I'm impatient. I've never ordered the bacon and egg sandwich but from the smell I need to soon.

Really grateful to find a vegan breakfast option! Great food and cold brew - what a gem to find!

This place is a little gem. I hope they get their own storefront someday! The people that work here are lovely and make it easy/quick to order. Zocalo is such a fun location with lots of seating options. My fav combination here is a sesame bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Their strawberry cc is perfect - great color, strong strawberry flavor. I know other friends are big fans of their BEC and special coffees (I don't drink caffeine).

Best bagels in milwaukee! Stopped by zocolo park to finally try ruby's bagels. I ordered the rosemary sea salt bagel with the green onion and jalapeño cream cheese. My bf ordered the sesame bagel with strawberry cream cheese. These bagels are absolutely delicious!! We were blown away. The cream cheeses were so fresh and the bagels are a true new york style bagel. We also ordered their drip coffee with lavender and pistachio syrups and it was so good. Service was quick. We will be coming back for sure. Highly recommend.

Nothing makes a weekend better than a trip to Ruby's! I moved to Milwaukee a few years ago and was disappointed at the lack of a good local bagel shop - until I discovered Ruby's. This has been my favorite place to grab a bagel ever since. Ruby and her staff are all so incredibly kind and make each trip wonderful. They also frequently collaborate with local artists to release some really fun merch. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Go to orders: Everything bagel with green onion and cheddar cream cheese, BEC on an everything, and the Guilty Guava (soooo good!)

I had the pleasure of visiting Ruby's for the Latinx Heritage Month Yelp Elite week. I ordered a plain bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. I think the jalapeños were pickled which I absolutely LOVED. The staff was so kind and was sure to give me the full run down on coffee flavor options. My coffee had a dash of oat milk and hint of lavender syrup. I enjoyed my goodies at the food truck park that Ruby's is parked in. The setup was so cute with a variety of picnic tables. I went pretty early, and I'm so glad I did because it was so serene. What a great way to spend a Friday morning! Check out my Ruby's Bagels TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8MdEY4M/

Food: 10/10. Probably the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. The bagel was excellently done with a crisp outside and soft inside. The bacon was thicc and perfectly cooked. I would recommend getting the bacon, egg, and cheese and then the veggie as they pair nicely together. Service: 10/10. I believe Ruby herself served us, I felt like a celebrity. Ambiance: 9/10. The food truck park is cool with a building for a bar and a lot of seating. Overall: 10/10 perfect place for a Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast.
