    Jalapeño cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese!
    Stewart W.

    There was a short line and some waiting on orders but everything moved smoothly and my order (cheddar jalapeno bagel with veggie cream cheese (9.2 out of 10) and iced coffee (8.6). Some of the best bagels going. Even though there is no inside seating, the outside seating was comfortable in the shade.

    The bright energy from the staff is so appreciative. Especially at 640 in the morning. The service was quick and I got 6 free bagels from my mail offer. The bagels were so soft and tasty. I loved the everything bagel I tried. I can't wait to go back and try some of the spreads. They have vegan spreads too.

    This is the "garlic" bagel I got today usually it looks much better than this

    I visited this location when they first opened and raved to everyone about how amazing the bagels were. Wish they toasted but the freshness and flavors of the bagels made up for that. The staff was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the quality and the way the staff treats customers has slowly gone downhill with every visit. Today my garlic bagel looked like plain that accidentally fell in the garlic bin. The staff said hi when I came in but very blah, Less friendly, very much feels like order your bagel and get out. They kept calling for Nadia (not my name) I was the only person in there and she must have misheard my name. I asked if that was the garlic bagel and he screamed NADIAAAAAA at me lol wow. Probably won't be back personally, but 3 stars because the bagels are good, just overpriced for the service and product I've been receiving lately.

    Passing by this morning my daughter wanted to try a new spot location directly in front of Ulta in Altamonte Springs off of Hwy 436 a Bagel shop, I'm on day 14 of a very healthy diet and exercise schedule, so I'll probably have to go somewhere else for breakfast. Upon entering the staff was very friendly, and Welcoming us in....our Cashier was knowledgeable and helpful with choosing our order, he even recommended a coffee to accompany our Bagels we were told about the bagel of the day and was allowed to try out a few of the cheese spread , I choose savory the Roasted Jalapeño is my all-time you think it would be overly spicy it's actually a nice balance between the cream cheese and freshly chopped Jalapeños on a warm Asiago and pesto bagel was the best thing I had all week!!! My daughter order the Sweet Bagel cinnamon and sugar with the strawberry cheese spread was incredible delicious . This place was clean, well lit and smells amazing!! Plus today was national bagel day! Go check them out !!

    I honestly would not recommend this restaurant for great bagels. The flavor of their bagels is overall very bland. I was absolutely shocked when I ordered the Asiago everything bagel that had zero flavor and tasted like just like a French baguette. No notes of Asiago cheese, onion or garlic. It's very disappointing because I was so very excited to have a great new bagel place to be a repeated customer of. But I've gone twice and each time everyone has agreed that the bagels have no flavor. On top of the bagels being bland the cream cheese is put on the side. Some people may like that, but I'd prefer for the cream cheese to be applied already to my bagel. Not to also mention that it's over priced. For a bagel and cream cheese it ends up being ~ $5 with tax. I think this place would be better if they maybe at least made bagel sandwiches like salmon and locs, bacon/egg/cheese etc. I had a chance of trying their coffee and even that was underwhelming. The only redeeming factor was that their employees are nice -- which you can't go wrong there! But as a whole, what I'm looking for in a bagel restaurant, they just don't have.

    Say "Yes!" to Jeff's Bagel Run - Delicious and made fresh! Ordered a sweet and savory bagel. My sweet was a Blueberry Bagel with Cake batter spread & my Savory was a Asiago with Jalapeño spread. The bagels were soft and chewy and the spreads were flavorful and balanced - not too sweet or salty. I also, ordered the Lavender Sweet tea. That is definitely worth a try - so good. I look forward to trying the cold brew with Lavender! Now, personally I'm not a huge fan of the location due to the traffic and overall congestion due to the mall and many other business near. They do have a parking area and there is plenty of parking near. There are other locations around Central Fl so that's great. Customer service was great and the store was clean and tidy. Lots of clean windows.

    Day 4. After a couple days of a soft opening, Jeff's Bagel Run is officially open, after much anticipation from those of us who shop in this area (Whole Foods for me). When I walked in, the place was packed behind the counter with employees at every step of the ordering, baking, prepping, packing, coffee-making and delivering stations. Even Jeff himself was helping out in back, getting in his steps. On to the bagels. I really enjoyed the chewiness and fresh, nicely seasoned taste of the bagels. I ordered the Rosemary and Salt and a side of plain spread, and an order of a dozen mixed bagels to go. Everything we ordered was accurately completed, although it took a little longer than initially estimated. It was a busy time! My son and I enjoyed our bagels and coffee in the outdoor seating area. Plenty of coffee options, a fun assortment of lemonades and teas, and bottled beverages are available. A side of lox and a "Lox in a box", all the fixins for lox and bagels, and sweet treats can also be purchased. Also, a limited "Hot Dozen" bagels is available The app: once you download the app and sign up, you'll receive 300 points, enough for a free bagel. You'll also find an order ahead option that's convenient.

    Have wanted to try this forever and it didn't disappoint! The price was very reasonable and the serving size is perfect! I love extra cream cheese on my bagel. The shop is super cute and easy to get to off the highway. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Will definitely be back!

    Cacio e pepe and onion spread
    Amy C.

    Came in to grab breakfast before work. My coworker gave me some gift cards for Christmas cause I love Jeff's. This was my first time stepping into a Jeff's. Always did orders or someone brought me bagels. It smelled sooo good inside. Anyhow, I decided to order something different. Cacio e Pepe bagel instead of rosemary salt. And I stuck with the chive and onion spread. I think I like my regular rosemary salt better. I also ordered a banana latte cause I like banana flavor too. It was good. They had my bagel to me pretty quickly and my coffee was a few minutes. I forgot to ask them to warm up the bagel a bit, had to heat it up in the microwave when I got to the office. I like the variety in bagel flavors compared to other chain bagel places we have in town. I love my usual flavor but open to try different ones. Stop by Jeff's for a quick breakfast!

    Jeff's Bagel Run always has an amazing variety of bagel flavors. I absolutely love the Altamonte location. There's plenty of parking. They have the friendliest staff of all of the locations I have been to. It's incredibly clean and they are very quick and efficient! This is my go-to location for sure!

    New Jeff's Bagel Run opened in Altamonte Springs! Right next to the Whole Foods. Soft opening today and tomorrow and grand opening Friday! Amazing fresh baked bagels! I had the chili cheese crisp bagel with chive and onion cream cheese. Delicious! They don't toast their bagels FYI, but still so good. I also did the iced banana bread latte. Super yummy! Service was fast and sweet. Stop in soon!

    Alexis H.

    My co worker brought Jeff's bagels to work multiple times last year and I absolutely love them! I live right behind the Altamonte mall and I've been waiting for this location to open up all summer long because I don't have another one that is super close to me. Today was a soft opening and they were giving out free bagels and spread to everyone as well as a magnet or sticker. They had all employees on deck for the soft opening. They had greeters outside that were warm and welcoming. Additionally, I ordered a coffee. The store is small inside as it was previously a Starbucks. There is some seating outside, but this is definitely more of a takeout location. I'm really excited for this new location and I believe they will be very successful!

On my first visit, I ordered the Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes with link sausages and a glass of orange juice. The pancakes were delicious, the sausages hit the spot, and the orange juice was... well, you know... orange juice. It did its job! The atmosphere reminded me of a classic country diner--cozy, welcoming, and filled with an older crowd, which I honestly prefer. One thing I really appreciated was being able to seat myself. That's always a plus in my book. Sometimes being escorted to a table means ending up in that one awkward corner nobody wants... but I digress. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily come back. My significant other, however, wasn't nearly as impressed. Oh well--you win some, you lose some! Sometimes breakfast is just a pancake split decision.

Diners are a…read morecompletely American thing that started in America as a mobile eatery and has transformed into what it is now, which are stationary eateries that feature affordable, filling food that appeals to the blue collar man. Fun fact, diners were started in New England region of America in the 1850s. All this to say, I love a good diner. I mean the American diner has always been there for middle America. The closest one to me and honestly it's definitely hidden away is the Maitland Breakfast Club. It's pretty much situated on the boundary line of where the City of Altamonte Springs starts. They have large space that's casual and what you would expect for a diner. Anyone can walk in wearing their Sunday best to pajamas. The waitresses are very welcoming and exactly the kind of person I would expect to invite me into a diner. We had gone on a Saturday afternoon and they're not a diner that's open late, so more of a breakfast diner really. Now I got the eggs Benedict with bacon and hash browns. For me, there are three breakfast staples I believe all amazing must revisit breakfast places should have. A good cup of warm regular coffee, eggs Benedict, and good crispy hash browns. I mean some places have other things like lattes and hash brown bowls, and I'm not saying those aren't good. However, when you nail the basics, you can do anything else. The hollandaise sauce was great and didn't split and bacon was crispy. The hash browns were super crispy, which I loved, and I could tell it had been made on a flat top grill, which is another very classic American restaurant kitchen appliance. The cup of coffee was good, I mean they had the sugar packets and the creamers right there. Overall, I would rate it a 9/10 and it set us back about $15 for just my portion. I will be back (said menacingly), Maitland Breakfast Club.

We ended up sitting at the bar to avoid waiting for a table. The bar was really tight but we made it work. My friend ordered an espresso martini, and it was too milky. For our food, everything was excellent. The avocado toast was fresh and the eggs were perfectly over medium. The home fries were also perfectly crispy. My friend ordered the kale salad with chicken and we both agreed it was one of the best salads we've ever had. The kale was fresh, the chicken was very tender and the dressing was the perfect amount. Between the service and food, we had an excellent experience!

    Stopped in at Briarpatch on Park Avenue for a weekday brunch to continue my birthday celebrations…read more Even for a standard weekday, the place was packed to the gills, which is par for the course here, though being seated right by the front door had its downsides. Our high-top caught the steady breeze of people cycling in and out, trading blasts of humid Florida air with AC, but it was manageable enough. Our server was solid and attentive, though the kitchen had a couple of operational hiccups. I ordered the fried green tomatoes to start, but they were forgotten until after our main plates had already landed on the table. When they arrived, the execution was decent. The batter didn't adhere well and slipped off the tomatoes, though the accompanying sauce carried the dish nicely. On the drink side, the virgin blackberry lemonade hit the mark completely: balanced, tart, and refreshing. The breakfast mains were where the kitchen redeemed itself. I built my meal around the bacon and mushroom omelette, which was formidable. It was fully loaded with bacon, cheese, peppers, onions, and mushrooms without feeling greasy or heavy. They had run out of biscuits, which was surprising for a brunch spot mid-shift, so I subbed in sourdough toast. The undisputed star of the meal was the side of cheese grits. I am notoriously particular about grits, restaurants almost always serve them under-salted, gluey, or watery, requiring a table-side overhaul of butter, salt, and pepper. These were dialed in straight from the kitchen. The texture, dairy integration, cheese ratio, and baseline seasoning were spot-on without needing a single touch of salt or pepper. Minor timing and stock quirks aside, BriarPatch remains a reliable staple. I left full, satisfied, and reminded why it is always worth keeping in the local Park Ave rotation.

It's a delicious mix of beet juice, citrus, and ginger. In my opinion, it's truly a great pairing with anything on the menu. My friends ordered iced coffees, and it came out looking like a glass of milk over ice, and it sadly also tasted like straight up milk. We weren't aware that the iced coffee is made with a coffee concentrate and if you want an iced coffee, you should order a cold brew and then milk or creamer on the side. My friends were apprehensive on letting our server know that they weren't satisfied with the beverage, but Mario ended up being very understanding and offered to bring them cold brews instead, and that ended up tasting 10x better. Shoutout Mario for that! In terms of food, I decided on the farmhouse hash with over easy eggs. I ordered this with no cheese, and added mushrooms. It was a 10/10. The flavors mixed all together so well. I also snagged a few bites of my friends cinnamon chip pancake which was UNREAL. It tasted like a cinnamon bun married a pancake. We were able to put our names on the waitlist about 10 minutes before we arrived, and with it being a busy Saturday morning, we showed up to a line of people waiting for a table. Luckily we only waited about 5-10 minutes upon arrival before we were seated at our table. Mario was great and the food and drinks were phenomenal. The bathrooms were clean and the layout of the restaurant was very spacious and it didn't feel too crowded. I loved that there was outside seating and lounge chairs as well!

We got a little seat outside and the server brought over a bowl of water for my doggy right away :) Our server was really sweet and attentive. Our food came out quickly and was delicious (I love the million dollar bacon ). Overall it was a great meal and we'll definitely be back!

The crab Benedict was exceptional, featuring well-seasoned crab cakes paired with perfectly poached eggs and a light, flavorful hollandaise. Each bite was rich without being overwhelming. The Baja omelette was packed with savory chicken and complemented by fresh avocado that kept the dish bright and balanced. The lemon blueberry pancakes were a real standout. They were light, fluffy, and had a bright citrus flavor that paired beautifully with the sweetness of the blueberries. Everything felt fresh and carefully prepared. The brunch cocktails are also worth mentioning. The Peach Stand Mimosa was sweet but not too heavy, making it a perfect pairing for a late morning meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. This is the kind of place where you want to linger over your food and enjoy a relaxed brunch with friends or family.

On this day our server was Emme and she was so kind and friendly. The restaurant is always clean and the booths are very comfortable. The music is on in the background and is very enjoyable.
