PopUp Bagels, the Connecticut-based bagel brand known for its hot, whole bagels and rotating schmears, opens its first Nevada location in Henderson on August 28, 2026, with a morning launch event and Vegas-only menu items
PopUp Bagels, a fast-growing bagel brand originally from Westport, Connecticut, is set to open its first Nevada location in Henderson on Friday, August 28, 2026. The new shop will welcome customers at 1685 E. Cactus Ave., Suite 120, marking the company’s entry into the Las Vegas area’s competitive breakfast and bakery scene.
The Henderson opening will be celebrated with a grand opening event from 8 to 11 a.m. on Friday. Early visitors can expect hot bagels served whole, a signature of the brand, along with a limited-time Spicy Feta schmear created exclusively for Las Vegas. Additional surprises are planned for the morning, available while supplies last.
Brand Expansion Reaches Southern Nevada
Founded in 2020 by Adam Goldberg in Westport, Conn., PopUp Bagels has built a following for its minimalist approach: bagels are served hot and whole, with schmear provided on the side for dipping. The company’s motto, “Not Famous, but Known,” reflects its grassroots growth, which has seen locations open in New York, Florida, California, North Carolina, and now Nevada.
The Henderson shop is being launched in partnership with local operators Gary Rubenyan and Raffi Babaian. PopUp Bagels CEO Tory Bartlett leads the company’s ongoing expansion, which has focused on bringing its distinctive bagel experience to new markets across the country.
What to Expect at the Henderson Location
PopUp Bagels does not offer sandwiches, setting it apart from many traditional bagel shops. Customers can order bagels online in advance or walk in for same-day purchases. Schmear flavors rotate weekly, and the menu is designed to highlight the freshness and texture of the bagels themselves. The Vegas-exclusive Spicy Feta schmear will be available for a limited time during the opening celebration.
The arrival of PopUp Bagels adds another option for breakfast and bakery fans in Henderson and the broader Las Vegas Valley. The company’s approach, emphasizing simplicity and quality, aims to attract both local residents and visitors seeking a new take on the classic bagel experience.
Location and Hours
The new PopUp Bagels is located at 1685 E. Cactus Ave., Suite 120, Henderson. The grand opening event runs from 8 to 11 a.m. on August 28, 2026. Regular hours and ongoing menu details are expected to be announced following the launch event.
