Poppy's Bagels

Owned and operated by a New York City native who moved to the Bay Area and quickly became homesick for a great bagel. It started incredibly slowly with boiling each hand-rolled bagel one at a time in her tiny SF apartment. With the assistance of friends and coworkers, the rest is history for the owner, Reesa Kashuk, a former home cook with no professional bread experience. Located inside Terminal C of Newark Liberty Airport, I decided to try Poppy Bagels for breakfast this morning. It was made to order via the kiosks which I ordered the Turkey, Avocado, Egg Wheat Bagel.  Luckily a staff member was close by on how to take out the cheese. The warm bagel was a smaller, classic navel shape and tasted bland. The portion was surprisingly huge. It’s fairly priced for an airport. The service wa

Bagel was ok , 3 ⭐ but that's really not worth writing much about.... It's the slooowwww service that is the "highlight" of this establishment. Thankfully I was leaving the airport and was not in a hurry, but waited probably 20 minutes for a single bagel. There were at least another 3-4 customers ahead of me in similar wait. There are two staff out front, and at least two in the back (doing what I can't tell), but dear lord only a total of 4-5 customers waiting at any one time, how can it possibly take 20 minutes to make a bagel 🤣 The airport should just terminate the contract of this place. Is "terribly slow service" a clause for breach of contract? 🤣

If you’re looking for a good bagel do not go here. absolutely no flavor, and clearly no effort was put into making. there was not even half a sausage in my bagel, and i ordered avocado and they put one slice in. on top of that they cut the bagel so horrendously that on one half of the bagel there wasn’t even a top. i would not recommend going here at all. on top of that when i was placing my order i was about pay and noticed that the price was a little more then expected so I went back on the screen and saw that the server had tried giving himself a 25% tip without my knowledge. i tipped 15% anyways but this experience was quite disappointing

Quick bagel spot located in terminal c. I got the BEC bagel and it was delicious. Fairly priced for an airport. Food comes out fairly quickly. Loved the decor and ability to order via tablet

I stopped by the shop closest to gate C128. There was only one person ahead of me and it took almost 20 minutes to get my one sandwich. If you're in a hurry, I wouldn't stop here. The cook was friendly, he just worked very slow. It didn't help that other customers were changing small parts about their order after they had already placed it. He forgot to add cream cheese but it wasn't a big deal I just took a small side to go. The bagel itself was mid.... the sausage patty size was pathetic considering what I paid for it. I did like they use real eggs cooked on the grill. If you like your bagels toasted you'll have to ask them to put it through their machine twice as one go didn't toast it at all, just slightly warmed it up.
