Ruby K's Bagel Cafe - Cafe in Los Alamos - 1789 Central Ave, USA

Quaint little bagel shop with great sandwiches. Everyone was very friendly and the food was delicious. Turkey bacon club on a green chile bagel 👌

Ruby and her staff are always top notch! The Up & Atom is hands down my favorite menu item, but you really can't go wrong. This is one of the only restaurants I know of in town where folks come in from as far away as Santa Fe and Jemez Springs just to get their bagel fix!

Small space, quite packed in the afternoon with very little available seating. However, service was friendly and our food was ready quickly. The sunrise breakfast sandwich wasn’t anything to write home about but the veggie sandwich was great. Delicious, fluffy bagels.

This is a very nice bagel shop, with the addition of other kinds of sandwiches for lunch. Lunch. They close at 2:00 p.m., so that's the only real downside. Try their soups, they have a pretty good selection and very high quality. They're also an excellent place to get a cup of coffee.

Completely unreliable, they are closed without warning all the time. This last time we stood outside for 30 minutes in the cold because they were running behind and opened late (god forbid they let us sit inside) and then after waiting in line they would only sell us 6 rather than 12 Bagels because their supply was low when we needed a dozen because we had 10 people at our house to feed! The kicker is that she said we could have 6 more in 9 minutes when more would be done but here's another thing about Ruby Ks, it takes them 10 minutes to serve just 3 people at the register so they really weren't in any danger of running out! But with 9 people in line it would take us another 30 minutes to get those bagels. Also has anyone heard of first come first serve? It's how most if not all bagel places work, I've never heard of a limit on ordering food, and if they did run out briefly couldn't those people further back in line wait a few minutes for that new batch?

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.

I have always loved going to Ruby Ks and thought that Ruby herself was wonderful. I had a terrible incident today with Joanna and followed up with the CO owner Mike. Rather than being sympathetic or apologizing for my experience he was dismissive. For an employee to use profanity when speaking with a customer is inexcusable. Don't bother ordering online as the menu is wrong. So sad I can no longer eat at one of my favorite places in Los Alamos. Edit: I hope they have cameras so they can get the real story on how their employees behave.

Very good pick for lunch... a busy Los Alamos favorite for good reason. Ruby K cafe value and taste are consistently good :)
