Nice and fresh bagels with good texture and flavor. A tad too much cream cheese for my liking but others who have a different preference would love the generosity! read more

Guess I should've ordered my bagel toasted because it lacked everything. Crunchiness, flavor, none. And the yellow spread that was supposed to be butter, blah. The place is nice & clean. Plenty of staff. Maybe their breakfast sandwiches are better. read more

I should have known not to eat here after seeing that the menu used AI-generated images of the food, which in hindsight I understand since the food looks sad and wet. The cream cheese had the exact texture of mayonnaise. Idk maybe this is a northern thing but not for me. read more

Brew-Za-Bagels - Bagel with cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Venice, Florida

Honestly my favorite food spot in FL, we came from Oregon and tried this place out. Ended up coming another 2 times during our stay. We were greeted everyday by the same sweet blonde girl, and our food and drinks were always on point. Place was always clean and fairly priced. Will be back when we come back to Florida again. read more

Excepțional good bagels ! We had the Manhattan lox bagels and devoured them before I had the chance to snap a picture . Their banana cold foam coffee was delicious too . Thank you! We ll be back read more

We stopped at this place when we were leaving Venice and I regret not stopping sooner. My son had the pizza bagels, loved them. My husband had the French toast bagel sandwich and loved it. I had the jalapeno cheddar bagel sandwich and loved it also. We tried the chocolate muffin and it was delicious. The only thing I would say is the hash browns were cold but the sandwich was so good we just let it slide 100% recommend. Wish we didn't live 2 hours away! read more

Being from NJ, it's hard to find a "real bagel" in FL. BZB is the first place I've found that I truly enjoy here. Highly recommend their egg everything with olive or veggie cream cheese! Liquid crack - yes! The online ordering is a breeze and makes running in and grabbing so much easier. Oh and the loyalty points for discounts is top notch! read more

We stopped in on the way to Brohard Paw Park + Beach to grab a quick breakfast before swimming with the dogs. There was no one else in the store, so the wait was minimal. I ordered us the original "liquid crack" iced coffee since they are just vanilla flavored and I thought that wouldn't be too sweet. They were made super quick, which was nice so I could sip while I waited for the breakfast sandwiches to be made. However, they were SO sweet that it was overpowering. We drank some of it before going into the park and then left them in the car to get a little more watered down from the ice. Someone who likes sweet coffees/drinks would love them though. For the breakfast sandwiches I ordered us each a Fifth Ave on an everything bagel with cheddar cheese. The presentation was 10/10, but the flavor was... nonexistent. It was super weird- it was the blandest bagel/sandwich we've ever had. I'm not sure if they are all like that? I am hoping not. We will continue on our search for a great bagel sandwich elsewhere during our trip. read more

Tried these guys when another shop I have never tried stopped making bagels 2.5 hours before closing??? Selection was good and the bagels were just ok. Pretty chewy and rubbery and the did not even toast that well. As others have commented premade or thawed. In a pinch or emergency I guess a pizza shop and provide bagels for 12 hours a day since they are not "fresh" and made to order. Surly convenient from a time perspective but not that close to my Venice South area home, and not THAT good to the 16 year working in NYC and living on Long Island person!!! (wink) read more

Great bagel sandwiches .... Favorite is the Manhattan. Bagel, lox, cream cheese, capers and onions. Great way to start the morning. Friendly staff and service. read more

Shhhh, it's busy in here. Keep this place a secret. Just for us! Don't tell your friends, maybe give out bad directions. Best bagels in Venice. read more

I've passed this place several times but never had the time to stop. I finally got to do it today! I was a to-go order and it was relatively busy when I walked in. The staff were busy but friendly and the place was extremely clean all things considering. I ordered breakfast bagel sandwhich to go and it came out within 5 minutes. Bagel was nicely done and one of the few places in the area that offer "pork roll" as an option. I can see this being a normal stop. read more

it all starts at the register!!! if theirs a line of 20 people out the door and a customer hands you money don't hand it back and make them feel stupid !! very ridiculous when 3 one dollar bills are facing the wrong way? doesn't matter how good the food is all starts at the door read more

We generally love this place but will not be going back. We just picked up bagels. I got an everything with chive cream cheese (ended up being plain). Halfway through eating it, I felt something in my mouth. It was a plastic bag clip. In my mouth. I almost choked on it. The roof of my mouth is scratched. I could throw up. This speaks volumes about the cleanliness of this place. Please do better! read more

Gosh. I am so naive. I never considered that they had their bagels "shipped in" from who knows where :(. At least that's what the manager on duty told me with a laugh when I called her after picking up 4 bagels today. Usually we eat our bagel sandwiches onsite. Today, we brought them home to toast and enjoy on the lanai :). Ummmm, that's when I noticed the mold. Yuck. Ugh. And all the things. I'm sharing this as a PSA in case others thought the bagels were fresh, too. Lesson learned, manager refunded my money, I won't be ever going back. Because the mind starts to wander: "How many other times did I eat moldy bagels here.....?" Ya know? read more

I love it here! Bagels I've tried and are delicious: Everything, Egg Everything, Asiago, Jalapeño (whoa it's got a lil kick ), blueberry, and cinnamon raisin. The veggie cream cheese is awesome and their sweet pecan walnut is great. I can also vouch for The Staten Island breakfast sandwich and the Greenwich Village lunch sandwich. read more

best egg bagels around!! weekend guilty pleasure ordering half dozen and a breakfast sandwich!!

Sunday morning, looks like three young teenage boys working, no manager. Ones on their phone, ones clueless as to what he's doing and the other keeps disappearing. Ones patron was waiting in line behind me and left because waited too long. I waited over 15 mins for a sandwich and when I walked in, no one was there. Just needs better employees I fear. There needs to be a more mature presence guiding these employees in order to run the business properly. On a lighter note... incredible food, best prices, good authenticity. I will come back but I think the owners should know this about their business. read more

My updated review is only about the bagels, as take-out was brought to me (I did not go inside this time). Weak fits the description. Similar to Lender's at the grocery (not fresh). In the area, there are three places with great bagels which you'll have to find for yourself; however, no reason to go out of your way for this place. read more

When I walked in with my wife, we loved the bagel display, mounted on dowels projecting out from the wall. Nice. It was all downill from there. We were alarmed when the counter person asked if we wanted ours toasted. Yes, toasting does conceal most of the sins of a mediocre bagel attemp, but a good fresh bagel never needs toasting. Not every round piece of bread with a hole in the middle is an actual bagel. It may just look like a bagel. Each of us received a bagel that was very doughy, entirely bereft of the crunch on the outside, soft on the inside, texture of a real bagel. No, I am not saying it takes NYC water to bake a good bagel, I don't buy into that aburdity. But I did grow up in the Bronx (um, in NY) and am quite aware of what an authentic bagel tastes like; the skill it takes to produce it. I do not enjoy bageloid circles of chewy white bread. Some of the other reviewers made comments about this, but others thought these bagels were good. These positive reviewers just don't know what the real deal is. For them, ignorance might just be bliss. I think the baker and/or owner should stay a week in Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island and do an internship at virtually ANY bagel joint there. Honestly, I have had very good bagels around the country; eg, in Davenport Iowa, Las Vegas, the Bay Area of CA. You don't have to go to NY to score one, but it sure is easy to get one there! One more thing. What is the rationale for disseminating half'n'half in little hard-to-open 9ml containers? The coffee had a harsh flavor, and it took me about 7 packets to make it potable. About 4 minutes to open all of 'em. If I lived in Venice, and liked the bagels at Brew Za Bagel (whatever that means), I would bring my own pint container of half'n'half, or maybe a small tool to puncture the packets. But I don't live in Venice, and the next time I have a hankering for a bagel around there, I will try the other bagel shop I drove by on the main drag, pretty close to this place. read more

Definite 5 star bagel/coffee shop. Crack iced coffee was pretty good but the breakfast sandwich put it over the top. Got the steak egg and cheese bagel and it was huge and delicious. The steak was tender and not greasy like other places, had two eggs on it plus your choice of cheese. Cashier and sandwich maker were super friendly. Interior of the restaurant was clean and had a nice sitting area including a couch! read more

Today I ordered a tuna on everything bagel with lettuce and tomato, my wife ordered a chicken salad on everything bagel. So my tuna had no lettuce or tomato and there was about a teaspoon of tuna and on two bagel bottoms with no top. My wife's plain chicken salad came with a normal amount of chicken salad but with lettuce and tomato and on all tops. read more

Service was on top! Friendly and happy to be serving. We ordered to go and waited maybe 6 minutes and the bagels were delicious and hearty! Thank you for such a great experience and food! read more

Good Bagel shops are hard to come by, but this place has done it right! They welcome you to make changes to the sandwiches and ask if you want your bagel toasted or not. I was not a fan of the sandwich with the avocado. I think the avocado was bad so it killed the whole taste but the bagel it self was delish. We literally went here two mornings in a row while on vacation. Highly recommend that you try their homemade cream cheese! read more

Brew za bagels is a pretty convenient place to stop for breakfast. They have a pretty good assortment of bagels to choose from and a number of different cream cheeses. I might have got there during their breakfast rush on a Saturday because it did take a little while to get my bagel. I figure that means that they're definitely paying attention to my bagel and not just slamming them out like a fast food joint. I ordered the Brooklyn on an egg bagel with smokey habanero cream cheese. I would expect a little more spice am flavor out of that cream cheese, but all in all I would say it was a good breakfast and I can see myself returning. read more

Pitiful, doughy everything bagel that tasted right out of a bag from Publix. I'm not even sure you can classify this as a bagel. Straight to the garbage read more

Had a bagel sandwich with bacon, egg & cheese + garlic and herb cream cheese on a jalapeño cheddar bagel- it was a decent size bagel with a generous amount of toppings. The bagel was fresh and perhaps a little too soft for our preference and not very spicy for a jalapeño bagel which is why we only gave it 4 stars. The liquid crack coffee (original) was great and had a good balance of flavor without being too sweet. Staff was friendly and establishment was well-maintained and clean. read more

I've been here a few times and it has been good. However, last week I came in and I witnessed an employee on their phone, drink their coffee, sneeze, handle dishes and utensil, put on gloves and handle food, all without washing their hands. I tried to reach out to the ownership but never heard back. I do not believe I will return. I wanted to support a local business, but after this experience, on top of that employee being unfriendly and making me feel like I was bothering them coming in to order food. read more

Had to leave two stars, because staff was friendly and the everything bagel was decent. But c'mon folks how bout put a little cream cheese on the thing. Ordered everything bagels with lox spread, bagel by itself is $1.39, two with lox spread and a cup of coffee $12, should rename it essence of lox spread. read more

Love it! First time going here this morning! Recommended by a friend bc of the amazing black n gold coffee. I asked the barista for a recommendation and she was so helpful and on point! Like WOW best bagel I ever had. Fresh Asiago bagel with homemade onion chive cream cheese. Also had the Irish Cream cold brew and substituted oat milk also amazing! Beats Starbucks any day!!! I'm obsessed. It's also a cute lil spot to wait for coffee or eat your breakfast. Love the home-like feel. I will be back! (Sadly no pic of the bagel it was too good and ate it all lol ) read more

The best bagels around town.They have a great selection of flavors. The cream cheese and variety of accompaniments are amazing. We love the smoky habanero. If you want more than a bagel they have all kinds of bagel sandwiches to choose from. We love the Manhattan and Staten Island...yummy. The pizza is really good and you can buy by the slice. If your in a hurry you can order online and just grab and go. We enjoy picking up a few bagels and a couple of their iced coffees to enjoy at the Venice Beach. What's not to love about that. So happy to have Brew Za in Venice! read more

Purchased an egg bagel and jalapeño cheddar bagel which were very good. I also purchased a tub of the onion/chive cream cheese which I did not care for at all. The onion/chives were very bitter. I would definitely purchase bagels again? But leave the cream cheese behind. read more

Really torn on this review between 3 and 4 stars. We truly enjoyed when we went to brew burgers and figured how could we go wrong with going to Brew Za Bagels for pizza. place is very clean and a friendly staff. I gave the place 4 stars due to the thin crust pizza and how well it stood up with sauce and cheese. the crust is very thin but is firm enough that you can pick it up and it does not flop. this is of course after you eat the smaller end of the slice. only bad thing was the plastic knife and fork they provided. pizza was very hot when served, rather than burn ourselves, my wife and I decided to have the first couple of bites with knife and fork, both of our forks broke as we were attempting to eat the pizza, now we had to find the broken pieces vs eating them. We both had the fork break 3 times as we tried to eat it, this is why I was in the 3 star range. We did not try the bagels but they looked great. next time there it will be for bagels. read more
