We looked at each other and I received a wink. We exited to our favorite Bagel shop and made our way down Beneva to Bagels and Brew. We made the right call. Even though we were right next to a competitor, we were rewarded to the best bagels in town, Bagels and Brew. It was crowded but worth the wait. My wife had her tried and true, plain Bagel, lightly toasted, with Lox Spread. I tried the Western Breakfast on an everything Bagel. Thank you, Bagels and Brew for bringing authentic Bagels to Sarasota.

My party was also thrilled over the cross ain't rolls stating there "out of this world good". The menu is large and includes a variety of breakfast and lunch items that you can order at any time. So if you're feeling breakfast at noon,they got you... Someone came out and bussed our table when we were finished. They also brought us our food despite being moderately busy. The owner,Nick,was friendly and came over to greet us. Im now a regular.

The classic (plain) crossiant I had was not bad, it was crispy, but the texture was lacking layers. It didn't give me the wow factor, I had better ones at other French bakery. I also ordered a almon croissant, the stuffing inside the crossiant was just too sweet, not to my like. Hubby liked his omelet croissant, the portion of salad is bigger than what he had at other French bakery. He also had the specialty cafe, mushallow latte, cold, he liked it. We were given a warm greeting when we walked in. We had our dog with us in a stroller, we were going to sit in the outdoor seating area, but they welcomed us to sit inside. That's nice of them. I would come back next time to try out other dish than crossiant. Benedict crossiant looks yummy

And the lady who made my sandwich was very nice and pleasant and took a lot of care making my sandwich. That being said, the sandwich was very bland. And the other lady who worked there with glasses lacked any kind of personality, and was extremely unpleasant to speak to.

She couldn't have made it clearer that I wasted her time and didn't care to speak to me. Good luck with the older community here. Hope they get better service than I did.
