Ruby K's Bagel Cafe

A guest introduced us to the owner Ruby! Good chat. This
diner has been open for 19 years. The parking lot was packed on a Sunday. Lox on an everything bagel.
Mocha plus brown sugar and cinnamon syrup. Flat white. Sandwich

Their bagels are amazing! The cheddar bagel with green chile cream cheese is a must try. The prices are super reasonable. My parents live in Santa Fe and drive to Los Alamos for these bagels at least once a month that's how good they are.

Whatever I've said about jalapeno bagels being my favorites is long gone. I have found the perfect bagel, and that is the green chile bagel, specifically from Ruby K's in Los Alamos. My intention was to stop in this cute little cafe for just a regular bagel and butter but after surveying the menus for a moment I realized I needed to try one of their signature sandwiches.

I chose to belly up to the "Up & Atom" (eggs and sausage topped with salsa and melted cheddar cheese on a green chile bagel, $5.69). The namesake derives from the town's popular Manhattan Project National Historical Park Visitor Center just across the street. Holy wowza, this bagel was DA BOMB (get it?). The bagel itself was SPICY, the egg super moist and the sausage bursting with flavor. I loved the salsa and there was plenty of cheddar. I'm sure Ruby's got some other kickass goods on her menu but if you ask me, this sandwich has gotta be one of the best picks. It's just SO GOOOOD! Also, I appreciated the complementary orange muffin. The sugar served as a great contrast to my spicy sammy.

Ruby K makes great bagels and I love picking up a bag of various bagels sometimes. They also offer sandwiches, coffee, and desserts. I absolutely love having this great local business in town, which offers a solid alternative to Starbucks. Service is quick and everything I have every ordered has been served without issue. Seating is limited inside and there is some outdoor seating. However, Ashley Pond is across the street and bring breakfast over to the pond to enjoy on a bench is a great option. I will continue to return.

Good coffee, great breakfast options and plenty of seating/parking. My favorite is the beagle breakfast sandwiches they offer.

There is nothing that excites me more than the thought of getting a fun little iced coffee and scrumptious little bagel sandwich. My sister is working at LANL for the summer and so we came to Los Alamos to explore and learn some history of her context. This was the perfect fuel for our adventurous day!! I had the bagel sandwich on an everything bagel and it was phenomenal. We also enjoyed a blueberry bagel which was fresh and the perfect bagel consistency. The mini muffin was a happy surprise!! I loved the view of the historic post office across the street!! Parking was tough as the lot filled up quick but we were able to street park a few blocks down. Ruby K's is the perfect spot to stop and fill up before a day exploring Los Alamos!

Bagels were okay nothing wow about this place. Seems like a nice spot to grab a quick drink and light breakfast or lunch with a friend or colleague. Coffee was help yourself and the karaffs were empty.

Delicious. Man, you can't go wrong here. I've had to take a break from the bagels because I've got no self control around them. Definitely a cool spot in Los Alamos!

We just moved from the east coast to LA, and the bagels here are basically on par with what we've had in New Jersey. You can tell that they're made fresh, have a good chew, and the seasoning on the bagels cover both sides and/or are incorporated throughout.

They sell the bagels in bulk, although we haven't gotten a chance to get a sleeve since they're usually sold out by the time we come (we are definitely not morning people). We've come here several times already in the past few weeks, and the service is generally fast -- think 10-15 minutes if it's packed, which it usually is no matter what time.

I like it simple, and I tend to get the Up and Atom (egg, sausage, & salsa bagel sandwich), along with a coffee or a smoothie. The salsa is great, the food is seasoned well and consistent, and every bagel sandwich always comes with a tiny, tasty muffin.

re: coffee, as much as I've been spoiled by Seattle coffee, I have a pretty low bar for drip coffee, since I've had it burnt, watered down, or somehow turned to rocket fuel sludge, but it's pretty decent here. My husband and I get the house blend.

I honestly don't understand the poor reviews on here. I know people here are itching for better brunch or breakfast fare here in LA, but for what Ruby K's is, it's pretty darn good.

Yowza - this place did not disappoint!! We drove from Santa Fe to experience this sweet restaurant and they knocked it out of the park!
I wish they had a sister restaurant in Santa Fe ( hint...hint)
