Paradise Bagels and Cafe in Anna Maria Island

Best little coffee shop on Anna Maria, good food, fantastic owners and employees.

Eggs were burned bacon was so thin and rubbery it was hard to eat. And as always the owner is rude.

My wife and I had bagel sandwiches this morning . What can I say . this is not a fancy restaurant by any stretch. BUT the help yourself coffee mugs was a nice offering and the atmosphere gives you the feeling of eating at moms . their bagels are brought in from NY as we were told and can attest they are the real thing . we will be back again tomorrow for breakfast .

Best eggs on the island! What a treat to be served gluten free toast or bagel with the order. It feels like eating in Jackie's home kitchen. The staff is friendly and anxious to cook what you want, how you want it. Beware, the portions are very generous :)

Great food and great people.

Their bagels are decent. Their muffins were so dry I couldn't eat it (they had to have been a few days old). But, the biggest problem I have with this place is how dirty/unorganized this place is. They prepare the food with their bare hands then go over to the cash register and handle money then back to making food... I'm all for supporting local businesses, but I cant get over how dirty this place is becoming.

I ordered the Eggle with bacon on a plain bagel and it was absolutely delicious!!! Coffee was good too, they had the nicest little coffee bar setup! I will definitely be back on my next trip to Bradenton Beach.

Breakfast today at Paradise Bagels, delicious. Had the lox plate, onion bagel from NY, home grown tomatoes, with a smear. Staff so friendly and coffee was great. Definitely a return visit is in my future.

Bad attitudes, dirty throughout the place . Sells old bagels . Downright Disgusting. . They won’t make it much longer . Too bad .

PSA: “Parasite Cafe” is what they should call this place! I’m surprised the city has not shut them down. SHOCKED that they would serve donuts with that much mold on it and you can tell in the pic that the mold has been their awhile. I wouldn’t be writing this review if they had been genuinely surprised by it, but I can tell from their reaction that this has happened on multiple occasions.

Fresh bagels, great cream cheese and good coffee!

Fantastic customer service and food!! Loved the lox bagel platter and the coffee! Will definitely be back!!

Delicious food! We had it delivered one day and visited on another day and it was great both times. Cant wait to come back.

We had a good experience stopping in for breakfast. My wife and I each had a delicious bagel sandwich an coffee. Their coffee was very good, and all you can drink. It was a little more expensive than I expected, but it is quality ingredients, prepared individually and served hot. If you want something more than a donut and you want to avoid a fast food stop, thus is a great place.

Brought in a large group and they were super nice and patient with us! Food was SO GOOD. They also have tons of gluten free options.

You have to try sesame bagel with honey nut cream cheese!

I've reviewed many places over time, rarely a negative review. That changes here. Stopped in to Bagel Cafe & there was a small line. I was wearing a mask, some other customers were & were not. But what disturbs me greatly are 2 things from the 2 women working the counter. Neither were wearing masks, but WORSE, neither were using gloves!! Even before Corona,, gloves are essential in handling food for customers. These 2 women were handling the bagels without gloves, then going to the register & taking money from customers & handing them back bills & coins in change. Then going RIGHT BACK to touching the next customer's bagel,. This is disgusting and utterly unhealthy. I turned around & left, never to go back. Considered for a while whether to write this review as I don't like giving a negative one, But in the end it needs to be seen by others that consider purchasing there, and maybe by the store personnel that certainly need to change their ways.

I visited Cafe bagel during the 4th of July holiday weekend and was shocked to witness my bagels being prepared with no gloves or masks....Especially in these times. The same woman who is handling the money exchange did not wash her hands, but instead went on to prepare bagels for the next customer. To say the least I was horrified. The health and wellness of patrons should be #1.I went next door to DK and was amazed at how clean and well prepared the staff was in handing orders. Please visit DK and take notes.

I got the lox and an everything bagel and it was delicious and presentation was great even in a togo container.

Bagels and cream cheese were good. Didn't try the coffee or muffins or pastries. Maybe next time. You order, they bring it to you and you pay later when you're leaving.

Came into this place because Peaches was too busy, and I’m really glad I did! My sister got the bagel, and I got the Island Club. The menu had it listed as a sandwich that doesn’t give you “lunch meat” and boy did they deliver. This sandwich was stacked HIGH with thick cuts of real turkey, honey ham, and bacon, as well as a HEARTY helping of tomato and lettuce. DEFINITELY worth the money! I somehow managed to eat the whole thing, and I’m not sure how? Probably because it was DELISH! The service was great, and the prices were great for such a large portion! If I find myself on Anna Maria I will be sure to stop in here for a bite! Thanks again!

Small, unorganized operation. Not very clean (condiment shelf was disgusting). Bagel sandwich was good. Strange set up leaves guest standing around wondering what to do.

Amazing food and service! Can’t wait to visit on my next vacation!

OMG!!!! IM IN A FOOD COMA.

First of all, I have visted here during February and March and had a wonderful experience. Fresh bagels, many choices, good service, good coffee! Today, however; in October I was more than disappointed! Bagels were old. Owner was rude pointing out to me the SIGN that says small bills only! Not sure how she thought I would know that prior to coming there!? And last but not least, a picture of TRUMP with her by his side including children.!:( Bad food, bad treatment, bad taste in people. Will not visit again!

me and my family was in AMI for first time, and we stop by to this place for quick breakfast ,STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ,first i'm not agree to listen the owner his/her political choice ,i think that subject have to stay private,second $30 plus for a bagel and two pancake is way over price (my bad don't ask before order)and third.MY KIDS FIND DEAD ROACH ALL OVER THE PLACE AND OF COURSE HAVE TO BE JUST AFTER WE FINISH EAT...I WILL RECOMMEND DON'T GO .....

Bagels are always fresh and delicious. Love their coffee.

Gluten free Loks Bagel. OMG delicious. Super friendly service. Many GF choices. Even GF pancakes some days.

Love this place, best Bagel sandwich and all the coffee you care to drink. We love sitting outside eating and enjoying the morning. The staff is so friendly and food is wonderful which makes it a must stop every time we're in town.

I love this place! The bagels are fresh. The food is homemade to order and delicious. The atmosphere is comfy. The cook and staff are friendly. Lots of goodies to chose from. The house coffee tastes like a medium roast.

What a delicious breakfast spot! The woman who owns is charming and welcoming. The bagels were phenomenal! Don't miss this great place!

Nice Island coffee shop. Serve Yourself for coffee and very cute atmosphere

The egg, bacon, & American cheese on onion bagel breakfast sandwich was very good. Too bad the homemade cinnabuns are only available on Sundays! We will be back.

Favorite breakfast place!

I ordered a lox platter and It was very visually appealing, but totally not worth $13.00. The bagels are very average. The staff was wonderful and the atmosphere of the place was cute

Love this place! Jackie and her employees are the best. All the food is amazing. Beggals, blueberry muffins and cinnamon rolls are simply delicious!

Great breakfast!! Friendly staff. We come here every time that we visit Anna Maria for the weekend👍👍

Such a good, little local place. Lots of homemade goodies, pastries including omelettes and egg sandwiches. Nice folks too.

From NYC and the bagels are absolutely authentic. Got Asiago, boyfriend went for poppyseed with egg, cheese, and bacon. Fresh coffee too, place seemed busy both days I went. Really wish one was where I lived. So nice to have a fresh breakfast sandwich instead of the chain ones.

Good food, abit pricey.The rating would be higher except the owner is almost as insulting as she is pushy. Her Boston background isnt charming its rude. I've been coming here since she opened and after being away a few years ,I ALMOST forgot how obnoxious she really is, and as a new Yorker,a not easily offended construction worker, how she talks to the truly elderly isnt "quaint " its disrespectful.If she stayed in the back n shut up,this would be a 5 star bagel shop.oh and owner,never tell a nyer how to make an egg sandwich, we invented it ...

we personally had a very nice experience. i can see how the atmosphere would be hit or miss - it honestly feels like you’re eating at your grandma’s kitchen table, which is very quaint and friendly, but not the most professional in terms of food prep, organization of the place, etc. if nothing else, go there for a good cup of coffee (their house blend).

Love this place! My husband I have stayed in AMI a few times and we come here every morning for great coffee and delicious breakfast bagel sandwiches. The owner and people working here are always pleasant. Great experience, highly recommended!

The ladies working were so friendly they made us feel like old friends. The food was good and reasonably priced! The decor was cute and shabby chic beach themed. The entire experience was terrific. We will be back!

I'm an avid bagel eater and the Eggle sandwich did not disappoint. My wife who is an avid bagel eater in training also enjoyed her Eggle sandwich.

I just want to say how fantastic this place is. Not only do they have the best bagels, cream cheese and coffee selection around, I lost a considerable amount of money there and it was all returned to me!!! I am so grateful and highly recommend Paradise Bagels!!! They have made a lifetime customer out of me!!!

Best food on the island, hands down. You won't find better!

The bagels here are pretty tasty, but were a little more on the expensive side and honestly not worth the price, especially when the bagels were pretty tiny. I wish the staff were a little more friendly and would wear their masks properly. Honestly, the place seemed like they had no idea that Covid-19 was even going on! Lol.

The coffee and food was wonderful and the staff was a real treat. They go above and beyond to ensure a great experience in their establishment. Our only regret is we found them towards the end of our vacation.

Best. Bagels. Anywhere!

We go to this place all the time. Love the atmosphere. Support local businesses don't go to Duncan Donuts. Owner is fun to talk to. My fiance always gets the salmon bagel. All the food is very good and homemade.
