Ruby's Bagels - North Ave
Recent Reviews
Don’t get me wrong, the bagels are decent. It’s far from the best bagel I have ever had in my life but it is probably the best in Milwaukee. However, someone at Ruby’s needs to spend a month in NY working in a bagel shop or they need to import a grumpy 65 year old New Yorker to show them how to run a bagel shop. For starters you need a second person up front. This morning there were ten people waiting in line to order while the person up front was ~casually~ making a matcha....
I can’t understand some of the lower reviews on here. The bagels here are phenomenal! I used to drive all the way from Tosa to the food truck to get the rosemary sea salt bagel because there was nothing like it closer. Now, I’m happy that there is a shop closer to home where I can stop by more regularly. The little alley between RBs and Venture is also a super cute spot to read a book while I enjoy my fresh bagel!
Had a friend recommend Ruby’s and it did not disappoint! I got a simple cinnamon cranberry with plain cream cheese and a cold brew. I thought the texture of the bagel was absolutely perfect. Not overly chewy, perfectly crisp crust and very flavorful. Best bagel I’ve had.
Employees were also very sweet and quick. They handled the Saturday crowds with smiles.
Dining area was a bit tight so I wouldn’t plan to be able to sit down to eat...
