Ruthie’s Bagels — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Ruthie’s is inside the JCC. I ordered 4 bagels, two everything and one green chile/ one red chile. Didn’t realize until I was home that I had received all everything, but it was fine. Hopefully wasn’t meant for someone else.

Customer service was strange, they were friendly but didn’t tell me (I think anyway?) that the bagels were still baking and it would be 10+ minutes. It was worth it, they were good!

I saw another reviewer say they were nothing like NY bagels. I disagree, mostly. I grew up on Long Island and something is missing with these bagels vs NY bagels, but they’re about 75% there. SO much better than Einstein/ other options available in NM. Texture is great, but they’re not big and fluffy. They remind me more of Montreal’s bagels.

As of 2024 it was about $15 for 4 bagels and a side of cream cheese. Not cheap by any means, but I think they’re worth it for a treat for sure. Thanks Ruthie’s!...

I don't know if every customer is treated this way or it's just my lucky day! Hopefully, they will work on it and deliver what they advertise and what's being requested by...

This was my first visit. Looked online for bagels and this came up. It’s at back of the Jewish Community Center foyer offering bagels, coffee and so on. There were a variety of 8 bagels of which I bought four for less than $7, so a pretty good deal. I took mine home and toasted them, but they also serve them on site. These are the real thing... thick, heavy and chewy. I will definitely go back. Today is a holiday, so they may regularly have even have...
