The Bel Bagels & Deli
359 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, FL
Crema's Take
“This East Sanibel spot is a genuine gathering place where freshly baked bagels and housemade spreads anchor a surprisingly robust menu of sandwiches, pizza, and full breakfast options that locals and visitors alike keep coming back for. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff make it equally suited for a quick grab-and-go before hitting the beach or lingering on the veranda with a quality beverage and a genuinely delicious Italian sub. It's the kind of unpretentious neighborhood deli that gets the fundamentals right—fresh ingredients, care in preparation, and genuine hospitality.”

Great bagel and breakfast stop in East Sanibel! The bagels were fresh, and the spreads were delicious and tasted homemade. It’s also a deli, so they offer other lunch options like sandwiches and pizza. They even have a small grocery section, which is convenient. They do serve coffee, but it’s more of a standard self-serve brew rather than craft lattes. Overall, I’m really glad we stopped here for bagels, definitely a solid breakfast spot!
I recently visited Bel Bagels & Deli and had a great experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and clean, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and high quality, with perfectly baked bagels and flavorful, well-made sandwiches. The hot subs are especially impressive, served on proper bread that really makes a difference. Overall, it’s a fantastic addition to the island and definitely worth a visit!
Great option to grab a sandwich and head to the beach or enjoy the view eating in the varanda. Sandwiches are big and they have a great option of beverages. I had the turkey sandwich and it was delicious.
A great addition to the island! A friendly and clean establishment with lots of great menu choices and island staples like chips, beer and wine etc. Their hot Italian sub is spectacular and the bread is proper (which I can’t say for many sub shops). Give them a try!
