Brandon Bagels is one of those "Brandon Staples" that you're told is a must try. Unfortunately, I would add this place to your skip list if you're looking for something that will exceed your expectations. Bagels are rubbery, lack flavor and they skimp out on cream cheese (not to mention, cream cheese is around $3 - $4 up charge depending on what you get.) OUTRAGEOUS up charge by the way. Back in the day, this place used to be good but nowadays, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, even if I'm craving a bagel; drive 20 minutes further in any direction and you'll find a better option. The silver lining and reason for 3 stars is, the service was pretty good and you feel welcomed. Also, the Onion Bialys I would admit was pretty good and if I'm really in need of a quick last minute bagel and cream cheese fix, I would spring for that option.
My wife and I stopped in here for breakfast one Sunday morning. They are open early and offer up fresh breakfast items in a laid back, take-out only environment. Brandon Bagels is located in a strip plaza of 60 in Brandon. The small place advertises freshly baked bagels and other breakfast and lunch foods. It was busy, even on a Sunday morning. We arrived around 10am and bagel baskets were already empty. My wife and I both ordered breakfast sandwiches on bagels. $6.50 each. Not bad at all. We waited about 10 minutes, maybe a little less and we were on our way. There is no place to sit inside and barely room to stand and not be in someones way. The bagels were soft and fresh and flavorful. I got the pumpernickel and my wife for the asiago cheese. The eggs, sausage and cheese on the sandwich were tasty and hot. A decent and filling sandwich that didn't break the bank. I'd stop in again.
I come here every single week, it's a staple to my weekend. The staff is so hardworking and the bagels are THE BEST I've ever had in Tampa. I get a steak egg and cheese on garlic and it never disappoints. All their bagels are so delicious- their everything, onion, tomato basil, and onion bialy are some of my favorites. The bagels are so fluffy and the perfect texture. 10/10 recommend to everyone I know
Brandon Bagel is your local Pop Shop/Hole in the wall bakery. Bakery for bagels. Lol. The shop is clean and friendly staff. Located in the heart of Brandon. The bagels are favorably priced and the bagels made in house. I highly recommend coming by Brandon Bagels and grab yourself a bagel/bagel sandwich with coffee or fresh juice. My go to is the Againo Bagel with Turkey Breast. DELICIOUS!
I'm no bagel connoisseur but I know good food when I eat it. I definitely know service with a smile. I'd been here one time before but you would think we were long lost best friends based on how I was treated and this was before 5:30 in the morning! I got the Big Buck which consisted of Sausage, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Asiago Bagel. With an Orange Mango Juice. I thought everything was pretty good. I'll definitely be back again. I'll get the Lox again which is what I had the first time (they don't skimp on ingredients).
Visited Brandon Bagels this morning for the first time to get breakfast. Have wanted to try it for years. I got boyfriend an egg, cheese and double bacon everything bagel....he said it was delicious. I got a egg, cheese, bacon and chive cream cheese salted bagel and it was sooooo delicious. Now I wish I had came here sooner. I also bought a half dozen sliced Bagels and a tub of olive garlic cream cheese, can't wait to enjoy those throughout the week. Got 2 each of Salted, Everything and Asiago Cheddar Cheese. Boyfriend toasted up an Asiago Cheddar Cheese after he finished his sandwich and he said it was fantastic with the olive garlic cream cheese. I used one of the ET bagels to make him a ham and provolone sandwich for work tomorrow which I know he will enjoy. Owner rang me up and he was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back, I want to also try a croissant sandwich and the Cuban Bagel Sandwich.
Fantastic bagel sandwich!! Probably the best Asiago bagel I've ever had. It was my first time there & they were extremely patient and helpful while I tried to make my decision. The ingredients were fresh and it was very filling. I'll definitely be back
I didn't have breakfast because I was heading for a golf outing and was busy with some errands early in the day. So I was hungry! I was in Brandon and remembered that there was a bagel shop, Brandon Bagels, around the area. I decided it was time to try it out. The environment is raw and older. Looks a little "unclean". It has the feel of a Chinese takeout restaurant. It was about 11am and most of the bagels were gone. I asked for a Ham and cheese sandwich with a little mayo on an everything egg bagel. I also got a can of coke. The server was good. He asked me the questions I expected out of a bagel shop or deli and got my order done in less than 3 minutes. The cashier seemed nice but looked exhausted. It must have been a busy morning. And the sandwich tasted ok. The bagel was a bit denser than a bagel that I am used to but the ham and cheese, I liked. Here's my rub. The price board said that the sandwich is $6. I was charged $8. I watched the lady tell the cashier because it was "lunch". Or something like that. Maybe they gave me more ham and cheese. I don't know and they didn't tell me! Now, I paid over $11 for a sandwich and soda. I thought the price would have been $2+ dollars less. I didn't say anything because I was in a bit of a hurry. I even dropped a tip for the server in the tip jar. I believe I overpaid once I looked back. So, to summarize, a fast-paced place with an ok tasting bagel with decent staff. Nothing special but definitely ask how much and why when you are there.
This was my first time here and definitely not my last. They bake their bagels daily from scratch and have delicious options like chocolate chip, Asiago cheddar cheese, honey oat etc. This place is inexpensive for the quality they are providing! Service was quick despite it being pretty full when I got there since it's not very spacious. The person who took my order was very kind. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on their French toast bagel. Unfortunately, I didn't taste the French toast flavor. However, the bagel was really good. It tasted very fresh and perfectly toasted.

Cream cheese is over priced and the cashier girl is rude but the bagels are good if you can get some before they sell out. read more

I can't believe I missed reviewing this wonderful place, but better late than never. They have the freshest bagels, flagels and croissants in the area and various ways to top them off. I regularly order a croissant topped with an egg, bacon and chive cream cheese. Always made fresh upon ordering by their wonderful, friendly staff who never hesitate to warmly greet each patron upon entry. I have tasted the everything bagels before settling on croissants nd they are yummy too. Forget that big box bagel place down the road which makes you wait for up to an hour for your mediocre food. Choose Brandon Bagels instead. You won't be disappointed! read more

You always want to go where the locals go. Today, after 15 years of living in Brandon, I finally became a local-I went to Brandon Bagels... and I'm fully onboard. Yes, it's in a strip mall on State Road 60 that's easy to drive right by (as I had so often in my unenlightened days). But once you go, you know. This place is definitely beloved by a large group of loyal followers. I met some right away. They regaled me with tales of the apparently divine made-on-premises cream cheese... and I was tempted-but I'm more of a savory breakfast girl... so I studied the many options on the chalkboards and decided on two items. I tried the bacon, egg and cheese on toasted sesame seed.. and a toasted salt bagel with butter. Ohhh, yum. Yes, I can report: all the stories are true. These big bagels taste different and better than any I've ever had. They're chewier and yet lighter-and fresh, fresh, fresh. I know-it's a bagel-but yeah, I'm a believer. I don't know how they make it happen, but I'm glad they do and I will be back... often! read more

Only come here in a pinch as they are friendly but lack in cleanliness. The place down the street was way to busy this morning so we came here. read more
Great bagels, but on the weekends if you get there any later than 8 or 9 all of the good bagels are sold out. Latest experience arrived at about 9:50 and only about 40% of the varieties were still available. The cream cheese is fantastic and they have all different kinds of flavors. I tried blueberry and loved it. If you order just one they put it on for you and toast it if you'd like. During Covid they are only allowing 5 or less inside, so waited in line, under the overhang, for about five minutes. Very nice people working there. read more

Finally felt well enough to leave the house and not spread my covid cooties earlier this week! My husband and I have been craving bagels for a few weeks now so I ran to Brandon Bagels! I feel so lucky sometimes that the best bagel shop in eastern Hillsborough county is only 10 minutes from my house! The shining star was the everything bagel with Brandon Bagels house made garlic & chive cream cheese. The only reason it gets 4 stars is I always feel like the customer service lacks with me because I'm not a regular. You can definitely tell the regulars when they walk in- the staffs demeanor changes to a more upbeat energy. The bagels are definitely five- star worthy! Fun fact- National Bagel Day is tomorrow 1/15! read more

Are they available through door dash or Huber eats?
They are not currently on any delivery apps
Do they do larger takeout orders, like a dozen of mixed bagels or so?
Yes. I think they have about 20 bagel varieties, and you can mix and match singles, a half dozen or a baker's dozen, or more, sliced or unsliced. They also do bagel breakfast sandwiches, coffee and flavored cream cheeses. Since COVID started, they…
Are these authentic New York style bagels? Sick of the crumbly, tasteless bagels from the grocery stores and places like Einstein etc.
100% YES
