Customer #12 this morning at the north avenue opening! My BEC on Rosemary and Salt was absolutely amazing! Looking forward to spending lots of mornings getting an excellent bagel fix :)
The Guava and cream cheese bagel is super good! The service was great and totally worth the wait! Best bagel I have had in Wisconsin! Keep up the great work!

Ruby's Bagels on North Avenue is a popular spot known for its delicious bagels and satisfying breakfast sandwiches. The restaurant features a small but well-used space with a good amount of seating, making it a great addition to the North Ave community. Visitors often praise the quality of the bagels, calling them some of the best in Milwaukee and comparing them favorably to NYC bagels. The bagels come in a variety of flavors, including everything, rosemary sea salt, and jalapeño cheddar. Many enjoy pairing them with cream cheese or aioli, and some have tried the lox, noting that it has changed slightly but still remains tasty. The hot mama, a special sandwich with a spicy kick, receives high marks for its huge size and flavor, though some suggest taking a Tums beforehand due to its spiciness. The bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel is another favorite, with crispy fried eggs and soft yolks. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and the quick wait time, often less than 10 minutes, especially for takeout. However, some mention that the dine-in experience could be improved, citing a lack of silverware and condiments like salt and pepper. There are occasional concerns about slow service and long lines, with suggestions that the operation could benefit from more staff or better efficiency to reduce wait times. Overall, Ruby's Bagels is considered a great local spot with excellent bagels and tasty breakfast options that keep customers coming back.
