Bagels And Brews Cafe
6970 S Beneva Rd, Sarasota, FL
Crema's Take
“This beloved Sarasota gem has earned its stellar reputation through genuinely exceptional bagels—the kind worth driving across town for—paired with a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere where the staff remembers your name and actually listens to your preferences. The coffee holds its own as a real highlight, and the whole operation strikes that rare balance of being quick enough for a weekday grab-and-go while also feeling unhurried and convivial enough for lingering conversations with friends, family, or even fellow bagel enthusiasts you just met in line. It's the kind of place where you'll hear staff going above and beyond with recommendations and customizations, turning a casual breakfast visit into a genuine community moment.”

First time, same with the couple behind us, we shared thoughts, then when we met Lisa at the counter, she was friendly as ever, then our food was brought to us by 2 other ladies who were very kind. Excellent food, excellent service, thanks guys!!
So happy to have found and visited this gem- outstanding bagels/bagel sandwich! Worth the drive from Lakewood Ranch! Lots of bagel choices, option to have the egg scrambled if you like (this has been a challenge elsewhere) - The balance of egg/bacon and cheese was perfection! My Husband said the same about his Pork Roll, egg and cheese. Happy to see them very busy- but every single employee was warm and friendly and welcoming no matter how busy they got. We will be back and highly recommend!!
I really enjoyed their awsome bagels! I tried the sunrise scram bagel, it was great! Loved every bit of it, thank you for making them delicious!
This is a smaller Cafe that gets a lot of traffic. The vibe is welcoming and upbeat. The service was quick,friendly,and helpful in menu recommendations. The coffee was the star of the show for me. I ordered a caramel kicker,cold and it taste as good as Starbucks or better. 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.
Lovely place for the best bagels!! I went here with my cousins while visiting family in Sarasota. The staff was absolutely wonderful with top notch service! The coffee was strong, the bagel velvety soft and perfectly warmed, and the cherry on top were the grilled muffin! Yum!!!!
