For about five years, I drove past this place almost every day, and there was always a line of…read morepeople stretching out the door. That alone told me it had to be good. One day, I finally decided to stop in and see what all the hype was about. I got there right when they opened, so there was literally no one there. I took a look at the menu and ordered an apple fritter and a ham and cheese breakfast bagel. The shop itself is really nice. It's your classic neighborhood donut shop--clean, well-kept, with indoor seating and its own parking lot. Now, let's talk about the bagels... Oh my God--they are SO good! I've been back about three times now, and every visit has been just as delicious as the last. When I say they're not stingy with the eggs, ham, or cheese, I'm not kidding. They really load these bagels up, and every bite is worth it. I'm sorry I didn't post any pictures, but trust me--the photos that are already on here don't lie. Everything I've ordered has been absolutely delicious. This is exactly the kind of neighborhood bagel shop you hope to find. Whether you're stopping by for a fresh bagel, a donut, or even lunch, they've got plenty of options, including sandwiches, and everything I've tried has been excellent. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. It easily earns five stars from me. And like I always say, if you're in the area, this is definitely a place you need to check out!

Service here is consistently warm, upbeat, and efficient--no fuss, just good energy from the moment you walk in. The space itself leans casual and low-key, perfect for a quick stop or an easygoing morning. My go-to? The croissant breakfast sandwich. Flaky, buttery, and always satisfying. Pair that with one of their fresh donuts or a toasted bagel and you're in a very good place. Only knock--and it's a real one--is the early 1 PM closing time. You've got to plan ahead, because once they're closed, that's it. It's a bit of a tease considering they also offer lunch sandwiches. All that said, this spot absolutely earns its reputation. Show up early and come hungry.

Super friendly owner who warmly greeted and welcomed me. Thank you Sir! Since it was my first time visiting, I perused down the donut and bagel lane to see what was enticing my morning bite. Got a few delights. WOW, what a cinnamon raisin bagel (toasted)! Best I have ever eaten. It was so good and delicious. Very moist and chewy. I should have bought the rest of them. I'm getting a dozen next time. You bet I will. Glazed twist and cinnamon round also made it in the bag. They were very fresh and moist. Not ultra sweet which was good. Size was adequate. Good choices! Great donuts, amazing bagel, and friendly staff + service! Definitely will return to get more cinnamon raisin bagels and other flavors. Maybe even try their bagel sandwiches. Highly recommend!

Miss Donuts and Bagels is usually out of bagels by the time I go, and for what it is, it's a little higher on the price point. Bagels and Brews is fairly the same, however, I wanted something different. Tastees, in the far north corner of the plaza, was solid! Don't know how I had overlooked them in the past. The place and the people working there were attentive and helpful. They had a stocked selection of bagels and for half a dozen at $10 I thought that was a deal compared to others. The bagels were fresh and fluffy, and tasted great. Oh, and I got some donuts as well that were also Tastee. I'll be adding Tastees to the rotation for sure. Give them a try!

Thank you! ** It's been awhile since I've been here. They have everything from bagels to donuts to fresh squeezed juices to sandwiches to scratchers for sale here, but the best thing here is the family who owns it. Kimmy in particular is so friendly and remembers you. She'll make sure your bagel or sandwich is just how you like it. For example, today I ordered a croissant BLT and requested the bacon to be extra crispy. I don't know if she baked it or what but it was not only crispy, it was also not too greasy. I prefer green leafy lettuce over iceberg but you know what? On a hot day like today, it was good enough--watery and crispy and just right with the rest of the BLT, mustard no mayo. Mmmmm. I took pictures of the one wall because I think it's great that a men's club regularly meets here. Men need best friends and confidantes as much as women do, but often seem to have a harder time initiating or keeping in touch with them. So, well done, Miss Donuts for providing a safe and inviting location for men to meet regularly over some yummy food!

The bagels didn't look that good so I opted for the sandwich on a croissant.

The croissant however was hard and tasted like it was 3 days old. $10 sandwich was not what I expected.

I ordered two sesame bagels, toasted, with cream cheese on the side, and two everything bagels, toasted, with cream cheese on them. When the employee took my order, she repeated it back correctly as two sesame bagels and two everything bagels. However, when I received my order and checked it before leaving, I discovered that I had only been given two sesame bagels and one everything bagel. When I politely asked about the missing everything bagel, the employee insisted that I had only ordered one. She also refused to provide her name when asked. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, I was required to pay again for the missing bagel. The dismissive attitude and lack of customer service were disappointing. As a former New Yorker, I was equally disappointed with the bagels themselves. The restaurant promotes a New York-style bagel experience, but these bagels did not resemble the authentic New York bagels I grew up eating. They lacked the characteristic chew, texture, and flavor that make New York bagels famous. The bagels were also barely toasted. Rather than having a crisp exterior and warm center, they seemed only lightly warmed. A properly toasted bagel should have some crunch and color, and these simply did not. Mistakes happen in every restaurant, but how those mistakes are handled is what matters. My recommendation to future customers is to carefully inspect their order before leaving the counter. Unfortunately, based on this experience, both the customer service and product quality fell well below expectations.

So do come early if you want to catch some bagel action. It's a cute bagel shop. The lady behind the counter was super nice and friendly. I told her I like salmon. She recommended the Lox which is basically smoked salmon with cream cheese plus red onions and some capers. That's what I got on Asiago bagel. Thank you miss! OMG... it was very fresh and good! The bagel was lightly toasted which gave it a nice crunch on the outside. Tons of cream cheese, but wished there were more smoked salmon. I would get it again! I'll have to try their special egg bagel next time. I wanted to get their avocado smoothie, but I found out they put sugar in it so I passed on it. When I make it at home, I don't add sugar... I add condensed milk instead. Anyway, I'll be back for more tasty signature bagels.

Absolute Bagel Perfection! I can't say enough good things…read moreabout Clearwater Bagels. If you are looking for the perfect crunch-to-chew ratio, this is the spot. The Food: We tried a little bit of everything, and every single bite was a hit: * Everything Bagel: Toasted perfectly with cream cheese, fresh tomatoes, and onions. The seasoning was spot on. * Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel: This had the perfect kick! Toasted with cream cheese, tomatoes, and onions--the toppings were perfectly matched to the savory heat of the bagel. * Honey Bagel: For the sweet tooth! We got this toasted with strawberry cream cheese, and it tasted like a total treat. The Service: What really sets this place apart is the vibe. The guy at the register was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It's rare to find great food paired with genuine hospitality, but they nail it here. Bottom line: The bagels are incredible, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is top-notch. I already can't wait to come back!

I ordered my usual bagel with egg, tomato, and double mayo. When I received it, the tomato had been cooked with the egg. At every other bagel shop I've been to, those ingredients are prepared separately unless requested otherwise. When I mentioned that it wasn't what I wanted, the response I got was simply, "That's how I do it," which came across as dismissive rather than helpful. I also specifically requested my bagel be well done. It appeared the sandwich was about to be served without being run through the toaster a second time, and I had to remind her. What really stood out was when I asked for a plastic container so I wouldn't make a mess while eating. The cashier said she had to ask the boss if it was okay, even though the customer before me had been given one without any issue. It felt inconsistent and unnecessary. Overall, it seemed like she didn't want to be there, and that attitude affected the entire experience. Customer service matters, especially for repeat customers. I've enjoyed coming here in the past, but this interaction has me questioning whether I want to return. Update: Unfortunately, after I posted my original review, the experience got even worse. I also ordered a second bagel--an everything bagel with double cream cheese. After starting to eat it, it was obvious that there was nowhere near double cream cheese on it. At that point, it became clear that multiple parts of my order were either misunderstood or not prepared as requested. By itself, a mistake with cream cheese wouldn't be a huge issue. The problem is that it came after the confusion with my sandwich order, having to repeat requests, and dealing with an attitude that made me feel like I was inconveniencing the cashier simply by ordering food. I've been coming to this location for years whenever I'm in the area, which is why this visit was especially disappointing. Between the poor customer service and the repeated mistakes with my order, this was by far one of the worst experiences I've had at this location.
