Whoa! This place is legit! I am from New Jersey and Cafe Bagel would not be out of place there. They bake their own bagels every day and they know what they're doing. The bagels have just the right amount of chew and they do not skimp on the shmears! read more

Came here with my daughter since we are visiting Venice, large selection of bagels and toppings and they also offer all the typical breakfast offerings. We had the Taylor ham egg and cheese on a plain bagel and the Lox with all the toppings on a Rye bagel. aAll very good and great attentive service. There's indoor and outdoor sitting. definately highly recommended. Took home a large container of green olive cream cheese to try since I have never come across anything like it. read more

Cafe Bagel - Lox with all the toppings on a Rue bagel - Bagels Near Me - Venice, Florida

The bagels are the best! Everything about the place is fantastic! I just got home from cafe bagel and it wasn't too busy. One girl behind the counter taking orders, filling orders and answering the phone. One tall young man was against the wall yawning. Or helping at all. Two people near the grill talking and nothing is on the grill! There were six people waiting and two of them needed to get to work! You are paying all these people and only one is working! Why didn't one other worker come over and asked can I help who's next in between yawns! Your product is excellent but your employees are horrible! Its not the girls job behind the counter to do everything! read more

Always amazing - best bagels in the area hands down! I need to try a breakfast sandwich next time - as they seem to have quite a stream of regulars who swear by them! read more

Amazing! Bagels are fresh, dense and soft on the outside nice crispy on that outer layer. We stayed here a week at the beach and everything was amazing. Bagel sandwiches were to die for read more

If we ever go back, I will update and likely improve this rating - TBD. Was looking for a little bagel breakfast per the request of the birthday girl ON her Saturday birthday. Found these guy local to my new to me Venice home about 1.5 miles away!!! Could be a home run!!!! Saw the Yelper reviews and Google. Saw the 2.5 hours till closing hours and it was brunch / mid day on the website/Google SOOO I sped right over? (NOTE: I worked at a donut shop/bakery/restaurant for a few years in Philly, so I am NOT unsympathetic to inventory and turning baskets or product, our owner was cheaper than Scrooge, but you never make money on a customer who doesn't buy and you NEVER make money on one who NEVER comes back and goes to your competition instead) I hate ""shamer reviews""" , but if you don't know about something OR don't care, that's up to the management and owners. NOT the patrons/customers. I am hoping I see or hear a reason to give these guys a second chance? I also want my fellow Yelpers to NOT run into the same expectations/failure that I encountered. Wasted time and travel - for nothing. If you are closed or closing early or stop making product hours before closing because you don't want to be stuck with a few bagels - communicate it!!! Where this is going, I drove all the way over there and they had about 20 donuts and a few folks in front of me. No plain, no egg everything, no poppy, no sesame and the bakery was done for the day? I got a scowl from the person behind the counter, and the others in line, when I asked from the back of the line IF anything more was coming out..... a 'terse' NO like I was bothering somebody???? WASTE OF TIME. (sadly I just escaped NY/LI after 16 years so maybe my expectations are too high and I am too arrogant?) Maybe see you next time? read more

Great homemade bagels and there sandwich's are amazing. There corn beef sandwich on an onion bagel has my heart for sure when needing something more to start the day off. The staff is a great team and keep things moving fast for sure! Always something new to try, wonder what's gonna be next. read more

I've been here a few times and the quality is top notch .. great variety... and the counter help is always friendly, smiling and thorough. I don't like when the tv has a biased channel on. A weather channel is more appropriate read more

Easy ordering online. Staff is great and the bagels are delicious! Convenient location!

Located in a strip mall on Rte 41 you will find the Bagle shop you have been looking for. This spot serves a myriad of Bagels and homemade cream cheeses that are delightful. Light breakfast fare is also served. Dine in a pleasant homelike setting or dine outside. Recommend for all Bagle lovers. read more

Honestly one of the best bagel breakfast sandwiches I've had in the US. I love bagel sandwiches but often feel they fall so short even though they are simple. I have always gotten to go from here and within about 30 mins of closing since normally I got shark tooth the hunting in the am and then stop here on my way home. While they only let you choose between plain or everything the bagels are very good in terms of texture and fluffiness. They are generous with ingredients in the sandwiches and they are cooked to perfection in my opinion. Always a go to stop for me and makes my trip worth while in Venice. read more

Have been coming here all my life- it's absolutely incredible. the last many times i've come in, however, i take my poppyseed bagel (which was covered in seeds at the shop!) home, and it looks like this. has never happened before, in all the years i've been coming. the bagel isn't even toasted well- very disappointing to be honest :( i love the flavor of poppyseed, not plain, barely toasted bagel. read more

I liked visiting this cute little bagel shop. I stopped by one late morning on a day I was in the area to get some bagels for takeout. While they had a rye bagel I was seeking, the shop was out of pumpernickel bagels, a testament to their popularity. If you want primo bagel selection I suggest going earlier in the morning and/or ordering ahead for the best selection. Right off 41/Tamiami this shop is conveniently located. There is parking outside the shop as well as outdoor seating. The staff was super cordial and helpful. Check it out and let me know what you think!!! read more

Stopped in this morning on the way to work for a to go order (sorry no pictures) in a time crunch. I've been here before but they have recently reorganized the dining area and shower to have new staff. Ordered a kielbasa and egg on an everything bagel. They had the order done in 5 minutes and it was perfectly done. They have extremely chewy bagels and very well seasoned for the everything variety. This is my go to bagel shop when I'm in a rush from now on! Thanks again! read more

Beagle was good ...croissant was flat. Cost per value not great. Had to wait for every order.

First time visiting this bagel store. Young girl behind the counter was friendly but may have been learning the register. Ordered 2 cinnamon bagels and 2 coffee rolls. When my wife ate her coffee roll she said it had no taste except grease. I had the cinnamon bagel which was extremely blah and tasteless. I usually never give reviews but it was a waste of time visiting this establishment. I like Dunkin bagels and coffee rolls much better, but that is my opinion. read more

Fast, fresh, delicious. The team on duty was very fast and efficient. The food was hot, coffee was hot, bakery items were delicious. I will recommend to anyone looking for breakfast, bagels or bakery items. I will certainly return to this establishment. read more

Delicious fresh bagels! Sandwiches are hot and fresh. Also very quick and friendly. Lots of choices in drinks and sandwiches.

Little overpriced on the lox and bagels. Everything else is awesome ........................................................

Google "best lox bagel" here's your place! Great assortment of bagel flavors, also offering various pastries from danish to muffins. Boar's head meat and cheeses as well for sandwiches and house-made pasta and macaroni salad. Coffee, teas and bottled water, juices and sodas. read more

Best bagel I've had since moving to Florida in 2017!! I ordered two bagels with olive cream cheese and vegetable. Both were very generous portions. I can't wait to come back and try some of their breakfast sandwiches. read more

Having spent lots of time in New York City, I know good bagels. They are water bagels, fresh, dense and chewy. Boiling the bagels before baking is the technique responsible for creating a glossy outside while keeping the inside soft. With that in mind, Café bagel does them right. Offering more than a dozen different bagel flavors, I am still a huge fan of their "plain" bagel. Importantly, if you're trying to get a specific flavor, you may have to pre-order them. You can call on the phone and they will save some for you to pick up when you arrive. Café Bagel is conveniently located right on the Tamiami Trail and offers plenty of free offstreet parking. Now I'll just lather on some cream cheese and enjoy. Salute! read more

Dropped by for bagels on a Saturday around 10:30 am, and I missed out. Most of the bagels were picked over. I ended up getting an odd and end just not what I exactly wanted. Here's a tip, you can call earlier in the day and reserve your bagels. I will definitely do this next time. I just love their spinach bagel. It's jammed pack with spinach and it's so tasty! It's their bagels that keep me coming back, but the staff isn't the friendliest. They don't make you feel good to be there. Not sure why it's the case. With these usual times, it's little things like a bagel and cream cheese that can make a child and adult's day. read more

Was the only customer in there and I was looking at the bagels. Very young girl behind counter didn't approach and ask if I needed anything. Another woman walked in and she helped her right away. If you aren't right in front of the register I guess she doesn't take your order. I needed to order while looking at the bagels as I was ordering several. No smile and awful attitude. Have been coming to this place since they opened. read more

My experience wasn't the best. I typically love visiting this bagel shop but was disappointed. The girl took our order but brought me the wrong sandwich. When Mandi brought the right sandwich she literally dropped it on the table and said "here" and walked away. I couldn't believe her attitude. I over heard she didn't give another customer his to go bagels and she forgot to give food to someone who picked up an order. I think she might require more training or maybe she had an off day. I'll be back as the food is always good and hopefully she has a better day. read more

Service was excellent and the bagels were delicious! My go to place for them' close to New York. Close

Nice spot. Friendly. Good bagels. Plenty of options between bagels, the grill, and muffins. I liked it, but it didn't quite wow us, so I give it a solid 4. Forgot to say my brother loved the lox. Maybe my rating is a 4.25. read more

Decent bagels at a fair price. They aren't to NY standard, though. Good crust, but they lack the characteristic chew. The service is not great. Make sure to double check your bag and be very specific when ordering. read more

We moved to Venice last year and have found a gem! For our first time there, we had a garlic bagel with Taylor ham, egg and cheese. Amazing! It was so good that we came back the next day for more. Unfortunately we chose Mother's Day without knowing that everyone in town did as well lol. Although they were out of the bagels we wanted, what we ended up with was still amazing. Blueberry bagel and honey walnut cream cheese was a great combo. Plain bagel with sausage egg and cheese went great with jalapeño cream cheese. Definitely recommend and this will be a breakfast staple for us read more

The front house is very clean only one register which makes ordering slow when it gets busy. I like a two egg bagel which this was note, they also need to keep an eye on the coffee or add more pots to the line as I had to wait for it to be done. the bagels are very good will return again read more

The food is decent quality and the establishment is nice. However, if you're looking for a complete meal, don't bother coming here. I don't understand how someone forgets to add a bagel to a to go order at a bagel shop. Service is fast which is nice but sucks to have a ruined morning. Disappointed. read more

Solid sandwiches, large bagels, Boar's head turkey which is fine with me. Friendly staff.

Great little place with plenty of seats to eat in and have a breakfast w/eggs if you want. They also have some Boars head deli sandwiches. Today I had a everything w/ lox spread for $4.27 including the tax. The lox spread was good but very light on the lox. The everything bagel was just to tough for my liking taste was good but my jaw had a workout on this thing. Bagels are fresh so I did not have it toasted. I will definitely go back and try a different bagel next time to see if that is tough also. Prices overall are reasonable. read more

I can say I've tried all the bagel shops from Naples to Tampa and I just have my interpretation a of a NY bagel until now . I've been on the lookout since I left my home in NY . These guys have a lot of flavor is the everything bagel with a generous smear of cream cheese. I with the make an egg everything bagel ( hint hint ) I love to see a small business bring quality goods a a reasonable price . That's what we have here. Just a little heads up. they open at 6:30 and if you go by 7:30 they will sell out of some varieties there's nothing like a fresh out of the oven bagel read more

This bagel shop has the best bagels in the area! They also make their own fresh cream cheese. They have a large selection of bagels and cream cheese to choose from but I usually stick to my favorite combination - a salt bagel with garlic cream cheese. There is usually a decent line at the counter and the tables fill up fast, especially on the weekends. read more

Good local place I decided to stop in this morning for breakfast. Having checked out the menu online before I arrived, I was all set to order when I walked in. I felt a little ignored standing there waiting to order without anyone acknowledging my presence for what seemed too long, but when someone was available it was all smiles and my visit was back on track. I went all out with their Breakfast Platter with Ham. They have self serve coffee and only a few minutes after I got my coffee and settled down at a table, my breakfast was brought over. It looked great. The eggs were cooked properly, the thin slices of ham nicely fanned out on the plate. It was a good amount of potatoes, they could have used some seasoning or prepared with some other ingredients like onions. The platter also came with a bagel, I selected their Cinnamon Raisin. The steamed bagel was soft, toasted, and easy to eat. It was buttered, which was fine, but I had ordered it with the honey walnut spread. It is an order at the counter type of place. Once I had my food no one checked back with me or said goodbye when I left. That's ok, better to follow up but not necessary. As far as the restaurant itself, it is very nice. This is not a hole in the wall bagel place. They have a dining area with several tables, TVs, and a few more tables outside for those who like to relax and enjoy the outdoors. It is a good local place. read more

Great baked goods, cute little hideaway! Picked up some "birthday" bagels and the service was excellent and they even added a happy birthday message to the sack of bagels!!! Only problem is getting into the parking lot if heading south on 41...u turn will be necessary and not a lot of parking. But worth going! read more

I love the spot! Whenever I'm down in Englewood visiting my dad, I love stopping in and grabbing a sesame bagel with cream cheese! Been coming here 14 years-since my wife and I started dating and I brought her down here to meet my parents! Great people! Great customer service! Great bagels! read more
