    The turkey club on an everything bagel with chive cream cheese instead of the swiss is my go to at Sesame. I get it every time and am never disappointed! The barista's and employees are always cheerful and pleasant to order with. The space is very clean and chill to work from. Free water is also offered at the front from a dispenser making convenient to stay hydrated too! Im hoping they open up more across Tampa!!

    I've lived in Tampa 10 years now...& I'm still searching for a good bagel! I had a well done everything bagel with chicken salad here...I only need one word to describe it. Bland. The bagel, although it looks well-seasoned, is bland. The chicken salad, described by staff as "famous", also bland. That's the word of the day here...bland. I may try them again, though. Don't want to rush to judgment.

    Good bagel but tomato underripe and onions not pickled enough
    Sara S.

    Love the fast casual bagel shop but the food could be better. We'll still come for convenience. Hyde Park Village only offers so much for healthy, quick breakfast, so Sesame is still a gem here. They have a nice selection of bagels and spreads. The eggs were cooked fine. My Hyde Park bagel just needed better ingredients. I had a similar bagel the day before at the café at OE and what a difference it was. It would help if the tomato was ripe and the onions pickled long enough for good flavor. An underripe tomato and nearly raw onion can ruin a meal.

    Smoked BLT
    Alexis N.

    We came in for the first time and were able to grab a table inside. We ordered two sandwiches, one bacon egg cheese and one BLT with avocado. Both were good. I was so happy they had egg bagels! That's not typical. Everything was pretty quick and they had plenty of staff working on a Saturday morning to make ordering and cooking efficient. Space is small but there's some seating outside to seat as many as possible. One thing I will say is that it was quite expensive. $55 for two bagel sandwiches and two coffees seems a bit high. We may be back.

    M.Bird's guava cooler
    Meghan T.

    I stopped by Sesame for a casual breakfast with a friend. I love the location in Hyde Park Village! The interior of the restaurant is very cute and earthy. Staff are very friendly! I ordered the smoked BLT sandwich which has bacon, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese and jalapeño cream cheese. I got it on a jalapeño bagel because they were out of the everything bagel. The sandwich normally comes on an egg bagel, but you can choose any bagel without an extra charge. I thought the bagel itself was okay but honestly a bit dry. The bacon was very crispy, and I liked the cream cheese, though I thought it could've had more jalapeño flavor. I really enjoyed the M.bird's guava cooler which had guava, mint, and lemon. Super refreshing!! I'd love to try their other refreshers. Overall, decent bagels but nothing particularly special. Really great drinks!!

    Everything Bagel & Spread
    Abbie B.

    This place had some good breakfast/lunch options. I just got a bagel and cream cheese. Bagel could have been fluffier but I did see them bring them out straight from the oven so they get bonus point for that. It took awhile for us to order even though the line was not long. Pretty small inside with a few tables and a few options to sit outside. This place is an order at the counter situation so you can easily take your food and eat in the sun.

    Turkey Club
    Heather G.

    Sesame offers a solid selection of bagels in a convenient location in Hyde park. It gets incredibly busy on weekends but the wait isn't unmanageable. The bagels are good but would not describe them as "NY style", and definitely on the pricier side given the location. My bagel this time was a little over-toasted for my liking but wouldn't deter me from returning next time I need a quick breakfast bite to eat in Hyde park.

    strawberry matcha + everything bagel w scallion cream cheese and bacon
    John D.

    as a NJ local visiting tampa... decent bagel and good amount of bacon (just a little pricy but expected for the area) i believe it was around $10 for the bagel and $7 for the matcha. iced matcha is great but they started to skimp out on the strawberry syrup since the last time i visited. service is great though!

    Beware of egg shells........................

    Beware of eggshells....................................very disturbing mid-bite. Hard to come back from that one.

    Open sesame... and the champagne! It's breakfast, with a different kind of toast! Along with all the gorgeous bagels in this cozy little shop: you can get bubbles! You can get a mimosa on a weekday-and I'm here for it! I used Yelp to find "bagels by me" and this came up. I'm so glad for the tip because, as often as I'm in Hyde Park, I had never seen this shop. It's one street east of the Hyde Park Village main drag, on Oregon-on the east side of the garage closest to West Elm... and right next to Ro. (did you follow all of that?) lol So, after I parked in the adjacent free garage and walked downstairs, there was Sesame. There are three or four small tables out front on the sidewalk-and a leafy view across the dead end street that leads to the garage. It's sort of secluded and peaceful on that side of things. I've gone twice-once on a rainy morning and once on a sunny morning-and the ambiance both times, was lovely. It was busy both times, but not hectic. Most of the orders were to go, so I had no problem finding a seat at one of the four or so tables. Both times I had the Asiago bagel, toasted and with butter and it was super tasty. I love the texture, the "done-ness," the flavors. It was so good the first time, I had to order it a second time... so, so yum. And both times, I paired it with the mimosa-they give you a champagne split and you grab a mini orange juice bottle from the grab-n-go case. It's such a sparkly touch. The service has been friendly and prompt. Both times they were really well staffed. There seems to be a loyal group of regulars-who live and/or work nearby. There's a mysterious side door... that's part of an adjacent business. I'll leave it at that. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Hope you get a chance to try it. I'll be there-trying to tear myself away from the Asiago and try something new.

    Filling was good but bagel was not.
    Frank D.

    The coffee was good. The bagel was not. It was like chewing a wad of undercooked whole wheat bread. I'm not sure they know what a bagel is. I guess if you live near by and can walk here it's a nice place to sit. But I would go almost anywhere else to eat.

    Bacon Egg & Cheese with chive cream cheese on a rainbow bagel
    Shannon H.

    I ordered the bacon egg and cheese toasted on a rainbow bagel, I think my mistake was adding the chive cream cheese, it probably would have been perfect without it , it just kinda over powered the bagel! But I'd eat it again, my coworker on the other hand ordered a jalepeno bagel with spread and she added egg and avocado. They forgot the spread so it was just avocado on the bagel and the gave her egg on the side. They also forgot her peanut butter banana oats thing she ordered so she was disappointed overall.

    Bagel selection
    Brittany M.

    Came in after my son wanted to go to a fancy bagel shop for his birthday and I just so happened to see Sesame the week prior which it worked out perfectly. Parking is very busy and limited in the area so it was tricky trying to find parking but once we did we headed over. The inside is small but they have seating inside and out. I Loved the bagel selection I think they have something for everyone plus looking over the menu and I wouldn't say the pricing is terrible. We got a Plain bagel toasted with Cookie Monster spread which I can tell you right now it's sweet! You get the cream cheese flavor but not something you want to eat right when wake up. We also tried the Everything bagel toasted with Lox & Dill that I personally loved the flavor was spot on and the spread had some texture to it which was a nice bite. We also tried the rainbow bagel with butter that wasn't bad but the texture was throwing me off idk if the food coloring messed with the dough but it had a different chew than the other bagels. Overall I would try them again:)

I honestly went back and forth on whether I needed to update this review, because there's a lot to love about this place. The quality of the food and coffee is consistently great, and the space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. That said, I still can't give it 5 stars due to service gaps. There isn't a designated person clearing or wiping tables, so when you're lucky enough to get one, you have to track down someone behind the counter ~ usually in the middle of cashiering or making drinks ~ to ask for it to be cleaned. Also, every single time food is brought out, utensils are never included. I truly like this place and it remains one of my regular spots for breakfast or brunch, and I'll continue coming back. I just hope the owners read these reviews and take this feedback to heart, because with small service improvements, this place could easily be a 5-star experience.

I considered having coffee anyway but without food and being on a 15+ mile bike ride, I wasn't trying to have a medical episode so I decided to try their chai tea latte. It was truly delicious!!
