Crema's Take
“H&H Bagels trades on New York nostalgia but falls short of the real thing—it's a 3.9-rated spot that draws mixed reactions, with fans praising the bacon-egg-and-cheese and generous cream cheese portions, while others note a burnt smell in the shop and find the bagels decent but notably inferior to actual NYC standards. It works fine as a quick breakfast grab if you're in Tampa and craving something familiar, but multiple reviewers suggest it's coasting on hype rather than delivering exceptional bagels.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I’ve been 3 times and they hit the spot every time! The BEC is excellent and they don’t skimp on the scallions in the cream cheese! The spicy sausage egg & cheese is great as well and my lox loving friend loved her loaded lox bagel.
New York is laughing. The store had a burnt odor as soon as I walked in. Line moved at a decent pace. Saw the eggs being made so decided to get the classic bacon,egg and cheese on a plain bagel (the most popular according to the menu). Ordered and watched the worker cut my…
I lived in the City for 30+ years, lucky to eat at eat so many little bagel shops including eating at H&H Bagels many times. These were fine bagels but not as great as Popup or Pete’s Bagels. Not even as good as the old 18 Bagels and the other variations they tried to make a…
