Buddy's Bagels
4065 S Tamiami Trl, Sarasota, FL
Crema's Take
“Buddy's Bagels is Sarasota's most earnest attempt at New York bagel authenticity, though regulars note the shop has lost some of its magic since switching from boiling to steaming their dough. The everything bagels with two-sided toppings and flagels (flat bagels) remain standouts, best enjoyed in a casual spot that's as much about quick weekday fuel and morning meetings as it is about chasing that perfectly chewy bagel bite.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Buddy's rules! Best bagels in Sarasota area, closest to New York style. Only place with flat bagels (flagels), plus they put a generous amount of toppings on both sides, which makes the bagels very flavorful. The staff are also very nice!

What used to be my go-to bagel shop in Sarasota, is now an empty shell of what it once was. Call the previous owners whatever bad names you want, but they ran a well oiled machine. The bagels were fresh, tasty, were the right size and had just the right amount of schmear (cream…
