HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We accidentally found this cute little place as we were looking for breakfast our first day on vacation on Anna Maria Island. Initially, we thought it was just a bagel place. But what a WONDERFUL SURPRISE this place turned out to be!!! It really should be named "Mama's Delicious Food". Because this lady is amazing! She's run this business for 30 years! And has the most delicious food! I ordered cranberry walnut pancakes and she put some fresh bananas and strawberries on the side. The cranberries tasted so fresh. It was positively delicious! My husband had what he claimed "the best omelette ever". It was just a ham and cheese omelette but it was HUGE! He couldn't even finish it!!! I'm telling you.... We will definitely be back before our vacation is over. And we are telling everyone to go there!!!! And the staff - so kind, so nice, I can't say enough good things about this place!!!!! read more

Stopped by on Friday mid morning for a bagel. There were some customers waiting for orders. Looks like most folks pick up to go. Waited a little bit before being acknowledged for an order. Got an Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese. The lady at the register was arguing with the other folks about missing utensils in orders. The bagel was ok and came out in a reasonable amount of time. So overall ok food wise but not a great experience / atmosphere. There are much better options in the island, read more

We stopped here for lunch and had the Tuna Platter ($13) and the Chef Salad ($12). Both were huge. The tuna was very tasty and served on a bed of greens. The Chef Salad was a plate of field greens smothered in ham, turkey and cheese strips. The turkey and ham were fresh, not luncheon meats. Both were more than we could eat. A beverage was $2 - $4. No alcohol is served. Seating is quite limited in this tiny place consisting of a few tables inside and a few outside. Very reasonably priced considering the freshness of the food and the size of the portions. Service was fast and friendly. Located in a strip shopping center near the Publix on Anna Maria Is. Free parking in the shopping center lot. read more

Terrible place and terrible owner, brought politics to a place not needed and is very dirty blowing snot in their hand and not cleaning and washing their hand 0/10 DONT GO HERE!!!!! read more

This place was honestly so weird. We walk in, no actual welcome which I found weird. The older woman at the register was almost rushing us to order since she said they closed at 2 pm. However we came in at around 1-1:10 almost an hour before close, which as someone who has worked in the food industry for a couple years, that is way too early to be shutting down the restaurant as you always have to assume people may come in. But anyways my friend orders her bagel and does not take mine which I thought was odd. We waited there for the food and the nobody came to take my order even though there were 4 other workers they just kept looking at me. The older women also didn't put on gloves or wash her hands before handling food which grossed me out. When she finally came back to the front she just rang up my friend and told us to have a nice day and insisted we just share my friends bagel (one bagel) between the two of us because it was, "more than enough for two people." Seems like she's just lazy and didn't wanna make anything else. Not to mention she also told me "they weren't gonna put anymore eggs on the stove" since they close at 2. But then I see a worker making an egg for himself on the stove. Also super weird trump shrines all over the restaurant it was super odd. I never leave reviews but this just felt necessary - I do not recommend coming here it's a waste of time and money. read more

The food is good, and the portions are a good size. The owners/workers are not particularly friendly. We ordered cafe au lait, and were told she "hated making those things", and then didn't know how they were made. Cafe au lait, by definition is coffee with hot milk added, not coffee with water, FYI. read more

Food- fantastic! Could do with less politics and more hand washing. Four ladies working. One had sniffles and a kleenex in her hand when we walked in, took our order and started building our sandwich, blew her nose again and no hand washing. Cook came out and coughed in to her arm (ok), third woman was counting singles then on to glove free sandwich making.... No hand washing. Fourth lady was popping food in her mouth while making sandwiches. In the 1/2 hr plus we were here eating, not one person washed their hands. read more

This hidden gem may be the best breakfast place on the island. Excellent food, great quality, homemade, no preservatives, large portions, amazing prices. I can't believe it took us 10 years to discover this wonderful place! go check it out, you will not be disappointed! read more

Reliable beach bagel sammies. Women running the show are awesome. Very home-y feel if you're dining in, you'll order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table. IMO, $11 in Florida for a no-frill BEC is a little pricey but it makes sense this is a touristy area and there aren't many options. My trick to elevate any BEC is to sub a slice of cheese for one of the savory cream cheese spreads - definitely recommend giving that a try ;) read more

AMAZING!!! Everything is homemade, i got the eggie sandwich with bacon, cheddar and also their homemade veggie cream cheese. Literally the best veggie cream cheese i've ever had. Didn't check if they sell tubs of their cream cheese, if not they should!! I love they add a little strawberry and banana with the sandwich! A little healthy touch to the calories you're going to eat with the bagel. Seriously very good!!! However, It is a little pricey, but considering everything is delicious and homemade, you're getting what you pay for! Almost forgot, cheese danish was also very good, the cheese was spreadable over the whole danish and tasted soooo good. The service was great. The restaurant has a great feel inside. And also very clean!!! read more

the bagels are AMAZING! There were so many options to choose from. Not only are the bagels to die for, but the service is so welcoming. The owner helped me decide what bagel is best for me. Tasted so fresh. I highly recommend coming here. read more

Great service! Visited the cafe on a weekday morning to have breakfast. We were immediately greeted by the proprietor that took time to offer descriptions and suggestions. Settled for the lox platter - it was a generous portion, fresh and prepared nicely. Bagel and egg sandwich with fresh turkey was huge, piping hot and delicious. Ample seating inside and out. Everything was clean and tidy. Every interaction with employees was pleasant and friendly... got the feeling they actually enjoy working here (rarely find that these days). Good food, good people. Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing Fluffy bagels! If your from the north you will have to stop in here for some amazing bagels! They make their in house bagels with love and care! I had a Bacon egg & Cheese on an everything bagel and it was good as when I lived in NJ! The egg is delicious and bacon cooked perfect, as you bite into the bagel you will experience the fluffiness I have mentioned. Enjoy!! - Customer service - Food - Drink selection - Location read more

One star review is based on service. My family always enjoyed the chicken salad bagel sandwich, which contained pickled , spicy veggies including jalapenos, and most importantly, no mayo! After several years, I returned and ordered this bagel. I was disappointed that the chicken salad was the standard, Mayo-y goop. I figured they'd changed the recipe, but a server mentioned that there was indeed still a "spicy" version available, but it is not listed on the menu. She offered to replace my order with the spicy version. The owner (Jacky) was incredibly rude to me when she was called over to approve the change, indicating that I just ordered incorrectly. I explained I was neither notified of the two options when I ordered, nor did the menu list the two options. I was very polite when explaining my confusion, but she doubled down on her rudeness. To her credit, she did make me a new sandwich, but the interaction made me lose my appetite. read more

We love coming here for our Sunday breakfast! The fabulous lox on an everything bagel is my partner's go-to. I opted for the gluten free blueberry pancakes. They were amazing! It came with a side of fresh fruit and look at that whipped butter. Love it! The service is always wonderful, very friendly and chatty ladies - always a pleasant visit. The cafe itself is cozy and homey. You feel as if you've been welcomed into a close friend's home. Highly recommend if you're looking for a yummy breakfast - especially wonderful gluten free options! read more

The sandwiches were so fresh, and the staff is so amazing! They have so many bagel flavors!

I've debated doing a review but I think this needs to be addressed by the owner.. We walked into the place extremely excited to try gluten free options (not many places around this area that offer so many options). To my surprise the lady in the front taking orders was screaming at another employee on how awful he was doing. I was in complete shock, the employee getting yelled at looked defeated. The lady proceeded to yell out to the open on how inconvenient celiac disease is and how it will take a whole hour to do anything gluten free. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but she just kept talking horrible about celiacs. I felt uncomfortable to even order my food as I felt like a bother at this point. We ended up going to Island donut company which turned out wonderful! Owner of Paradise Bagels, please correct this employee on her actions. It was truly appalling. read more

This place is adorable. You walk up to order, they bring out your food to your table, and you walk up to pay when you are finished. The coffee mugs are mugs you would see in your own cabinet, collected from random places/businesses. The bagels are NY style and very delicious. I had the bagel and lox platter, and it was probably the best platter I have ever had. It had so much lox on the bagel and was very filling. We are definitely coming back when we are in the area next. read more

Paradise Bagels Cafe - Bagels-N-Lox Platter - New American Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

The locale was alright, it had a very old beach vibe going on. I had the eggle sandwich which was good. The plain bagel was good as well as the egg and ham. The only thing is that it costs 12 dollars which is an insane amount for a bagel sandwich. I enjoyed my food but probably wouldn't revisit considering the price. read more

Best customer service ever, fresh food, best spot for breakfast on AMI. Highly recommend the eggle. read more

Paradise Bagels Cafe - Eggle - New American Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Ordered a bacon egg and cheese eggle on a cheddar everything bagel. It was really good. It took a while to get my food but it was worth it. The staff was friendly with customers but they argued back and forth a lot with each other and were disorganized with the food line. That's what took so long. I would recommend calling and ordering ahead takeout. Large assortment of bagels and muffins available. There is a sign that says if you want more than two of a certain bagel or muffin then you have to order ahead, just fyi. read more

This is a small town cafe! Second time in a row coming. Staff is lovely. Blueberry bagel yesterday was the best I have ever had. Today I ordered a sesame with tomatoes and bacon with cream cheese. Great way to start my day. read more

You MUST disclose a credit card surcharge. And you must NOT call it a tax. Bagels were ok, onion bagel was burned for the eggie sandwich. Credit Cards: they have a sign that states only CC and debit cards for payment. Then they charge a surcharge!!! When they tell you total they state 'total is $29.33'. When they charge CC, the total on CC machine comes up to $31.20 (approx). I ask why difference, she clearly states "the machine adds the tax", I asked "a tax?" She stated yes. Receipt prints out-it is an 'admin fee'. Do NOT lie to customers!! read more

Best bagels on the island! Freshly made every morning including other breakfast and lunch items. Friendly staff greets you with a smile. Highly recommend! read more

Paradise Bagels Cafe - Bagel and Lox platter from paradise bagels - New American Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

This is a simple sandwich shop, nothing special. Coffee isn't that good. :( Along with several other reviews about this place, I too was concerned about the lack of sanitation and general cleanliness, ie. no gloves used when making sandwiches. The man who was roaming around and sort of helping the quickly overwhelmed staff took our order incorrectly and I overheard the owner explaining to him loudly right in front of me that he screwed up, causing them to waste 2 bagels (and cause our order to take forever). It doesn't appear to be a really smooth operation with good controls in place. Additionally, I would like to suggest that they nix the weird single strawberry and 1/3 of a banana that they put in each of the side dish spots in the large carryout styrofoam container and just wrap their bagel sandwiches in brown paper with a business sticker. The amazing amount of styrofoam and plastic they use for carryout orders (including their cups for coffee) is a real turnoff. read more

I would say 2 starts but gave it 3 because I enjoyed the service. The ladies working are no frills and straight to business... but... hardly any handwashing and touching multiple things all while making your food was off putting. The cheese and bacon etc are all microwaved first then but in a warmer thing which doesn't really toast the bagels so the sandwich turns out chewy. It's a place that I wouldn't say is bad but not so good either. read more

Went there many times & had no complaints until recently. Bagel & coffee was $6.00, payed with 10.00 bill. Instead of giving me the $4.00 change, the woman working, not owner, put the $4.00 into the tip jar, I was shocked and just walked out. Then on 6/11/24 I return and order an everything bagel with honey nut cream cheese to go. Started eating the bagel and wonder where cream cheese was. Very little and some areas had none. Will think twice before going back. If I do, will unwrap & check before leaving establishment. read more

They were extremely friendly! I ordered a gluten free bagel to go!!! It was delicious!!! If you are gluten free, this is the place to go! One note, they don't have egg whites, so I didn't get to try their "eggel" that they are known for. But, it was still a great experience! read more

Perfect spot to pop in after being at the beach in the morning. Fresh bagels and friendly smiles read more

Fantastic! I took my family for breakfast and we will be coming back because the food was really good, it came out quick, and staff was friendly.

Visited this place twice while vacationing in Holmes Beach. Service, food and atmosphere are great. We had the "Eggel" with cheddar and bacon on an everything bagel, as well as a plan everything bagel with peanut butter. Would strongly recommend. read more

Amazing breakfast bagel sandwiches and the sweetest ladies ran the shop! So family friendly and delicious!

love this place, we live in town, but I get breakfast here when I'm on the island, the owner is almost always there and she makes a point to get to know everyone and make you feel like a local even if you're a tourist, the food is very high-quality and everyone is very friendly read more

Great customer service & good food . Would recommend coming here because the food is made quickly and there's no line!

Try their Lox on an Everything Bagel! Great food done right! A nice menu, dining indoor or out, The bagels are fresh and authentic. Also Cherry Danish, blueberry muffins, rolls, cakes and pies.

Such kind owners/ workers. Very family friendly. Great price for a lot of great food.

OK I got a knockout a star for the attitude. I knew what I was getting into and I was super nice the whole way through. It was a great bagel and it deserves five stars. She gave me some spiel about only being able to purchase two bagels of each flavor, come on it's a holiday week , STOCK UP!!!! read more

It's a sad world we live in that you have to give a business one star because you have different political affiliations. Don't be a Billy. This place was great. The sandwich I got was super delicious and the two women were perfectly nice. I definitely recommend this place and fully support their freedom to voice their opinions or in this case, hang a few stickers. If anyone is being a hater here Billy, it's you!
