Bagels are delicious!! They make everything fresh behind the counter. We had their locs and a breakfast sandwich, both were delicious. We also took some to go. The staff was very kind, we will definitely be back!

It is with great pleasure that I regale you with the tale of my recent discovery in the sun-kissed land of Florida - an establishment of unparalleled culinary magnificence known as "Bagels Plus." As I set foot inside this delightful haven, I was greeted by a symphony of aromas and a cornucopia of freshly baked bagels that beckoned to be savored.
The bagels themselves are a triumph of the baker's art, each one a testament to the dedication and skill of the masterful artisans who toil behind the scenes. From the classic plain to the exotic sun-dried tomato and everything in between, every morsel boasted a perfect balance of texture and flavor that transported me to the heights of gustatory delight.
However, it is with a heavy heart that I must address the proprietor of this esteemed establishment. His archaic views and chauvinistic demeanor cast a shadow over an otherwise splendid experience. The incessant sexist remarks and condescending attitude toward the exceptional women who form the backbone of Bagels Plus were a stain on the tapestry of this culinary paradise.
Yet, despite this regrettable flaw, the true luminaries of Bagels Plus are its remarkable employees. Their unwavering dedication, impeccable service, and genuine warmth elevated my visit from mere satisfaction to an unforgettable experience. Their smiles, their efficiency, and their genuine love for their craft imbued Bagels Plus with an atmosphere of conviviality and welcome, a rare and precious quality indeed.
In conclusion, I implore any connoisseur of fine bagels in Florida to venture forth and partake in the delights offered by Bagels Plus. While the owner's egregious behavior may mar the experience, the exceptional service and exquisite creations fashioned by the exceptional staff are the true heart and soul of this establishment. Let us celebrate the artisans who grace this place with their talent and dedication, and may their brilliance shine ever brighter amidst the shadows of antiquated attitudes.
Yours in culinary discovery,
Christopher Columbus

Came in close to closing, most bagels were sold out, but the bagels they had were absolutely fantastic. Perfect bagel. My lox bagel was really refreshing, perfect amount of lox, and the cream cheese was creamy! Owner is pretty humorous as well!

For Tuesday morning, I was looking for a place to have a quick bite along with coffee.
I had heard about the bagels plus the which has
best bagels in Tampa along with the different flavors of cream cheese.
They have their bagels made in the house and they have different flavors of bagels.
From the bagels available I ordered an Onion bagel which I requested to be toasted along with the veggie cream cheese plus French vanilla cream coffee.
The bagels were roasted perfectly with cream cheese applied and cut into halves.
I thoroughly enjoyed the bagels with their delicious crispy texture. The cream cheese complemented them perfectly, making it one of the best bagels I've ever had.
The coffee was okay.
I have no complaints about the place since they are well-known for their bagels, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
In the morning we were looking for a bagel and coffee in the morning.
We searched near us and saw that Bagels Plus was near us.
I was confident that we would get delicious bagels and coffee from Bagels Plus, having tried them before.
Once we entered the shop, we were greeted by the server.
The ambiance was amazing with different bagels, cream cheese flavors, and coffee.
We ordered two Everything bagels with Veggie Cream Cheese Flavor and Plain Cream Cheese.
The order of Bagels got ready and then we ordered Black coffee.
The bagels along with the coffee were delicious and they made our morning.
Enjoy delicious bagels that are perfectly paired with a range of irresistible cream cheese flavors.

Wow, a Hidden gem, at least for me. This place has fantastic bagels and sandwiches. They are about twice the size of Einstein Bagels. And, quite honestly much much better. I will now be a regular.

Being a New Yorker with a deep love for bagels, I can confidently say that Bagels Plus has won me over. The bagels are a true taste of New York authenticity, and their lox is exceptional. The delightful marriage of these flavors makes Bagels Plus a must-visit for any bagel enthusiast.
Erin Stapleton
Far and away the truest NY bagel found in Tampa Bay area!
We've tried from Sarasota to Newport Richey and eastward... There have been some close, some horrible and even some "why you even botherin'?".... But this place, BAGEL'S PLUS. Knocks it out of the park.
Large sized bagels with traditional toppings, even an egg bagel too... With generous Smear. I ordered crispy bacon in mine and it was a half inch thick with bacon!! Omg love!
Crisp crust with a snap, and the interior to keep you dreaming of your bagel after it's gone.
Bagels, sandwiches and open until 4.
True traditional bagel... A must try.

I can't believe I'm JUST hearing of this place. If you've had New York bagels, then you know what's top tier for a bagel. These bagels are nice and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, but not super doughy tasting. Delicious! And their range of cream cheese spreads??? Longer than I have time or the ability to taste in one visit. I will definitely be back. The bacon egg and cheese bagel I had was superb.
Rothschild Dort
I can’t believe I’ve lived in Tampa for 6 years and I’m just discovering how great this place is. They have a very wide variety of bagels and the Asiago bagel 🧀🥯 was really good. They also have a great variety of cream cheese options, I had the chive and bacon 🥓 scallion—I truly enjoyed both. The lox bagel did not disappoint at all and all the ingredients tasted fresh. They moved pretty fast considering how long the line was and I was taken care of in about 15 minutes. Definitely looking forward to my next visit 😋
Jeff L
Very good food, they were out of a lot of bagels when i came in. So ended up getting a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant.. so gooooood, i will be back!
Brianna Saint-Clair
Very lovely place. Amazing service and family owned. Go support! Their bagels and service are 10/10. Will be back.
Kymberly Mortensen
Best. Fresh. Bagels. I haven’t had a bagel like this in 3 years since I left NY…and let me tell you…they are FRESH! Crispy outside, soft and perfectly chewy on the inside just like an NYC deli. They made a customer out of me, I’ll be returning weekly. So good.
Emma Ballard
4 stars because the prices are a bit high here in my opinion but that’s definitely because they know the magic they have here. Authentic New York bagels here they have the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich too. The coffee isn’t bad either plus the locals are old New Yorkers…so you know it’s good.
John Sheid
If you want a real NYC bagel, this is the only place in Tampa Bay to find one. The bagels have just the right crunchy, chewy texture. The service is fast and efficient and the portions are generous. Take it from this ex-NYer, you won't find a better bagel in Tampa Bay!

This use to be one of my husband and I's favorite places when we were dating. For years we went here at least once a week. We loved it so much that we asked that they cater the bagels for our brunch wedding. The day before the wedding my husband went down to Bagel's Plus to buy breakfast to find out that their oven was down. The employee told him that they were not sure whether or not the oven would be fixed in time and that to check in throughout the day. As you can imagine this was very concerning for us the day before our wedding. I waited to the afternoon to call, left messages, and no one answered or returned our call. Eventually I went down to the store and no one was there. Under this circumstance, with not even a call from someone to check in with us, we had to order from another bagel shop. The next day, as my husband was getting dressed for our wedding, he received a call that our bagels were ready. He explained that we did our best to contact them but because of the uncertainty of the situation we had to go with someone else. My husband was told that because he did not pick up the order, an order that the day before they could not assure that would even be completed, he would be put on a "no catering list" with his name and number listed. We tried to call for a couple of weeks after to reach a manager but conveniently he was never there which is weird to us since he is always there. Their bagels and cream cheese are fantastic but because of this experience it may be a while till we return if we ever do. This experience was a huge disappoint and I wish that the manager would have understood the predicament he put us in.

Happy to have found this place by chance! Great bagel Friendly service!
Bill Zeppfan
Definitely NY-tasting bagels! Thought we'd never find a good bagel place down here. I stand corrected! Fantastic!
Nelida Lopez
Friendly staff and Bagels just like NY. Definitely recommend.
Jesse Schultz

Jennie Ryan Faith
We are from NY. These guys have the best bagels in the Tampa Bay. Love the people working there too.
Jenn L Johnson
Best bagels in Tampa! Now y’all just need to “scoop” bagels like they do up north - pinch out the insides to lessen the carbs lol!
Kaylee Jenson
Was introduced to this place by a friend from high school. Best bagels and cream cheese around! Love the staff as well
Anne Medero

Mike70218
These are the absolute best NY style bagels I have ever had. If you're looking for authentic and delicious NY bagels this is the best place in town.
John
If you want authentic New York style bagels, this is the place to go. I've lived in NYC and these are as good the ones up there. Great variety of bagels, perfectly cooked, and a good number of cream cheese/smear options. They'll make you a good breakfast or deli sandwich too. They have some bakery products as well but I've never had them. The owner is very friendly and only adds to the NYC authenticity of the place. Strongly recommend.
Newhomerose
Only and best for bagel's. Please someone open one of these not any other brand... <br/>in Wesley Chapel .. we love this place would like one closer<br/>with same owner!!!!!!!!
Austin Harper
Great Bagels, local family. Parking lot resurfaced and building recently updated. I don't who any of the people writing negative reviews are I've come here for early mornings since I was an undergrad at USF. Same owners as have been there forever. Great bagels every time I've been there and the owners are friendly especially if you're not uptight on your way to work.
Mike
Beat bagels in Tampa!
Ejfy7738
Use to be tops for bagels. I don't know if there has been a change of owners. The place has really deteriorated. Went in yesterday for carryout bagels and almond crescent. Both stale, stale, stale!!! Hard as rocks. Didn't discover what they'd sold me until I got to work. Very unfriendly help. Didn't see the owner. Two women. One glared. I won't be returning. Very disappointing. Plus in my experience highest priced bagels in town. Does anyone know if ownership has change? Use to be good.
Whyyme35
Get it together. The cashier had the NERVE to say BP is better than Einstein and Panera. What a joke. That place is nasty inside and out. The parking lot needs to be resurfaced, building could use a new coat of paint. Landscape is terrible!!! Inside it's not a place I would sit down and eat. Don't ask for butter!! $1.75. Mind you it's not homemade. Just regular butter you would buy out of your local grocery store. Shame on you owner. You need to clean it up or your place will end up on DIRTY DINING...
Tammy
Great local bagel shop. I love supporting local businesses, and this bagel shop is really good! Great variety of bagels, and if you get a egg & cheese sandwich - it is a fresh cooked egg (nothing frozen and then microwaved like Dunkin Donuts!) Bagels have a lot of flavor, and a good variety to choose from too!
Shannon Lee
Really good, chewy bagels. Huge, yummy pastries. Delicious toppings like scrambled eggs, cheese and hummus.
Edwin
Bagels Plus Gets at MINUS!. Spent $33 on bagels and drinks for 4. Dirty dining need to check out this place as the air filters were covered in soot which was dripping down on the tables and the food. The coffee was very stale and seemed like the containers had not been cleaned for a long time. Bagels tasted odd like the mix was wrong and not boiled correctly. Sausage was a low end microwaved patty.<br/> The cream cheese tasted very processed and not fresh. I was hoping for a real bagel but Einstein's blows this place away. I had been to this place maybe 16 years ago and it was good. Never will I be back.
Mary
Bagels very bland and overpriced.service poor. many better options.
Crumbandgetit
Best bagels in the area. Bagels are easy to find, however a great bagel is a quest. Knights of the holy bagel, your journey can happily end here. Bagels Plus has some of the best bagels in Tampa. Breakfast or lunch, if you can get one hot and fresh there is nothing like it. They also have the most amazing honey walnut cream cheese that they will happily slather on your bagel of choice. Their other baked goods are pretty good too, especially their baklava.
Alex South
Yum. Best bagel I've ever had, and Steve brightens my day every time I go in. This place is amazing and the owners attitude deserves an award.. I make it a point to go here at least 3/4 times a week.
Richard Meyers
Best bagels ever.
Big Apple Nosher
Steve's bagels are as close to being in NY We found this shop ten years ago when we moved here from The Big Apple Worth the ride
Pearls1969
I really like this place. But the prices keep going up. In the last year the price of a plain bagel with butter has gone from$1.27 to $1.59.
PhightinPhils11
The best bagels in Tampa. I would travel for their breakfast sandwiches.
Emilymeow
This is by far the best bagel joint in all of Tampa! These bagels will suffice for any meal of the day and the staff is great too !! Soooo delicious
Kab
Many pluses. The food is great and the staff is fantastic
Will Whichello
The Best. Bagels plus is consistently awesome. Not just the bagels, although they are the the best in Tampa. Not just the spreads, although the bacon & chive cream cheese will make me drive across town to get more (especially when envisioned upon a toasted Everything). And not just the service, even though I'm not a regular (too far away), and I'm certain they don't know me, I've always felt very welcome (the right mix of levity and professionalism). Obviously with a place like this, the customers tend to be awesome, too (I'm just saying...) -- at least that's been my experience with the other guests every time I've been. <br/><br/>an aside: they also have free wifi, the TBT, and a screened-in porch for when the weather's nice.
SweetTooth2
The best I've ever had. I am the type of person who can eat bagels for 3 meals a day, I LOVE THEM. Coming from NJ I am very picky and einsteins doesn't cut it. This place is AMAZING better than any NJ bagel I've had too. I graduated from USF 2 years ago and every time I go back to Tampa I make sure to stop at bagels plus. The muffins and black/white cookies are melt in your mouth good as well. Toasted or non toasted on the bagels they are just as good. The cream cheese tops it all off, if you are getting just a bag of a dozen to go order some cream cheese to go with it. yum yum.
Larry TheWizard Siegfried
It's the "MOTTS".... Bagel's Plus is to Bagels .. as MOTT"S Is to Applesauce.. It does not get any better than this.. A Kettle boiled bagel that is fired in a chain drive oven... Soft and meaty on the inside.. and Crisp and Crusty on the outside.. .. Not only are the Bagels great .... so is all the rest of their Goods... Top Shelf... Steve is a Real NY''er...with 'ttude.....lol Who can put a smile on your face...at 6:00AM... As long as you realize not to take it personally... ;-)... <br/>Great Food ~ Great Service ~ Great Prices... <br/>Bagel's Plus...
Shalinigirl
Best in tampa. Only bagel place that knows what they are doing. I have looked for 11 years around here. Steve uses the water process, the REAL way to make a chewy on the outside and soft on the inside bagel. And they have all the cream cheeses and a grill for eggs and bacon, there is hummus, and cheeses, you name it. Steve knows what he is doing. If he would only move out of that dive and get a real joint.
Foodandloathing
Holy smokes were they good. I could almost taste their crusty exteriors and warm, chewy insides from the aroma seeping through the brown bag. They were hot from the oven
