About Bubbe's Bagels

Bubbe's Bagels is a family-owned Tucson bakery offering classic and sourdough bagels, cream cheeses, and sandwiches. The shop is operated by Kyle and Becca, who describe it as their "little corner of bagel perfection." With locations at Wilmot and Speedway and at River and Campbell in Joesler Village, Bubbe's serves Tucson customers looking for a bagel-centered breakfast or lunch, with options available to enjoy in the shop or take home.

The bagel menu covers familiar favorites as well as more distinctive choices. Plain, sesame, sea salt, garlic, onion, pumpernickel, poppy, everything, and cinnamon raisin are among the varieties available. The selection also includes cinnamon crunch and cheddar jalapeño, while bialys are offered on Saturdays and Sundays. The bakery's process is summed up in its description of the bagels as "Long fermented, Kettle boiled, Bubbe approved." Alongside the regular bagels, the sourdough offerings give the menu another point of distinction.

Bagels can be paired with several cream cheese choices, including plain, chive and green onion, honey lavender, smoked salmon, Calabrian pepper, and Bubbe's Garden. Butter is also available, along with additions such as tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, capers, red onion, Monterey Jack, cheddar, avocado, and smoked salmon. For customers who want to bring the spreads home, Bubbe's offers its cream cheeses in take-home portions, along with lox, egg salad, Calabrian tuna salad, and whitefish salad.

The sandwich menu builds on the same bagel selection. Choices include an open-faced lox sandwich, Reuben, Calabrian tuna, Bubbe's egg salad, Westphalian ham and cheese, open-faced whitefish salad, and an egg and cheese sandwich. The egg and cheese can be ordered with ham or pastrami. Sandwiches are served on the customer's choice of bagel, making the bakery's core product part of each meal rather than simply a side.

Bubbe's also lists catering among its services, providing an option for gatherings and group meals, and online ordering is available through the shop's website. In Tucson, the Wilmot and Speedway location is next to Trader Joe's, while the River and Campbell shop is in Joesler Village. Both locations are open Tuesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until the bagels run out. The bakery's website includes the current menu, ordering information, location details, and updates through Instagram.
