We stopped here for lunch and had the Tuna Platter ($13) and the Chef Salad ($12). Both were huge. The tuna was very tasty and served on a bed of greens. The Chef Salad was a plate of field greens smothered in ham, turkey and cheese strips. The turkey and ham were fresh, not luncheon meats. Both were more than we could eat. A beverage was $2 - $4. No alcohol is served. Seating is quite limited in this tiny place consisting of a few tables inside and a few outside. Very reasonably priced considering the freshness of the food and the size of the portions. Service was fast and friendly. Located in a strip shopping center near the Publix on Anna Maria Is. Free parking in the shopping center lot. read more

Stopped by on Friday mid morning for a bagel. There were some customers waiting for orders. Looks like most folks pick up to go. Waited a little bit before being acknowledged for an order. Got an Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese. The lady at the register was arguing with the other folks about missing utensils in orders. The bagel was ok and came out in a reasonable amount of time. So overall ok food wise but not a great experience / atmosphere. There are much better options in the island, read more

This place was honestly so weird. We walk in, no actual welcome which I found weird. The older woman at the register was almost rushing us to order since she said they closed at 2 pm. However we came in at around 1-1:10 almost an hour before close, which as someone who has worked in the food industry for a couple years, that is way too early to be shutting down the restaurant as you always have to assume people may come in. But anyways my friend orders her bagel and does not take mine which I thought was odd. We waited there for the food and the nobody came to take my order even though there were 4 other workers they just kept looking at me. The older women also didn't put on gloves or wash her hands before handling food which grossed me out. When she finally came back to the front she just rang up my friend and told us to have a nice day and insisted we just share my friends bagel (one bagel) between the two of us because it was, "more than enough for two people." Seems like she's just lazy and didn't wanna make anything else. Not to mention she also told me "they weren't gonna put anymore eggs on the stove" since they close at 2. But then I see a worker making an egg for himself on the stove. Also super weird trump shrines all over the restaurant it was super odd. I never leave reviews but this just felt necessary - I do not recommend coming here it's a waste of time and money. read more

The food is good, and the portions are a good size. The owners/workers are not particularly friendly. We ordered cafe au lait, and were told she "hated making those things", and then didn't know how they were made.

Food- fantastic! Could do with less politics and more hand washing. Four ladies working. One had sniffles and a kleenex in her hand when we walked in, took our order and started building our sandwich, blew her nose again and no hand washing. Cook came out and coughed in to her arm (ok), third woman was counting singles then on to glove free sandwich making.... No hand washing. Fourth lady was popping food in her mouth while making sandwiches. In the 1/2 hr plus we were here eating, not one person washed their hands. read more

We love coming here for our Sunday breakfast! The fabulous lox on an everything bagel is my partner's go-to. I opted for the gluten free blueberry pancakes. They were amazing! It came with a side of fresh fruit and look at that whipped butter. Love it! The service is always wonderful, very friendly and chatty ladies - always a pleasant visit. The cafe itself is cozy and homey. You feel as if you've been welcomed into a close friend's home.

Reliable beach bagel sammies. Women running the show are awesome. Very home-y feel if you're dining in, you'll order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table. IMO, $11 in Florida for a no-frill BEC is a little pricey but it makes sense this is a touristy area and there aren't many options. My trick to elevate any BEC is to sub a slice of cheese for one of the savory cream cheese spreads - definitely recommend giving that a try ;) read more

AMAZING!!! Everything is homemade, i got the eggie sandwich with bacon, cheddar and also their homemade veggie cream cheese. Literally the best veggie cream cheese i've ever had. Didn't check if they sell tubs of their cream cheese, if not they should!! I love they add a little strawberry and banana with the sandwich! A little healthy touch to the calories you're going to eat with the bagel. Seriously very good!!! However, It is a little pricey, but considering everything is delicious and homemade, you're getting what you pay for! Almost forgot, cheese danish was also very good, the cheese was spreadable over the whole danish and tasted soooo good. The service was great. The restaurant has a great feel inside. And also very clean!!! read more

Great service! Visited the cafe on a weekday morning to have breakfast. We were immediately greeted by the proprietor that took time to offer descriptions and suggestions. Settled for the lox platter - it was a generous portion, fresh and prepared nicely. Bagel and egg sandwich with fresh turkey was huge, piping hot and delicious. Ample seating inside and out. Everything was clean and tidy. Every interaction with employees was pleasant and friendly... got the feeling they actually enjoy working here (rarely find that these days). Good food, good people.

One star review is based on service. My family always enjoyed the chicken salad bagel sandwich, which contained pickled , spicy veggies including jalapenos, and most importantly, no mayo! After several years, I returned and ordered this bagel. I was disappointed that the chicken salad was the standard, Mayo-y goop. I figured they'd changed the recipe, but a server mentioned that there was indeed still a "spicy" version available, but it is not listed on the menu. She offered to replace my order with the spicy version. The owner (Jacky) was incredibly rude to me when she was called over to approve the change, indicating that I just ordered incorrectly. I explained I was neither notified of the two options when I ordered, nor did the menu list the two options. I was very polite when explaining my confusion, but she doubled down on her rudeness. To her credit, she did make me a new sandwich, but the interaction made me lose my appetite. read more

I've debated doing a review but I think this needs to be addressed by the owner.. We walked into the place extremely excited to try gluten free options (not many places around this area that offer so many options). To my surprise the lady in the front taking orders was screaming at another employee on how awful he was doing. I was in complete shock, the employee getting yelled at looked defeated. The lady proceeded to yell out to the open on how inconvenient celiac disease is and how it will take a whole hour to do anything gluten free. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but she just kept talking horrible about celiacs. I felt uncomfortable to even order my food as I felt like a bother at this point. We ended up going to Island donut company which turned out wonderful! Owner of Paradise Bagels, please correct this employee on her actions. It was truly appalling. read more

This place is adorable. You walk up to order, they bring out your food to your table, and you walk up to pay when you are finished. The coffee mugs are mugs you would see in your own cabinet, collected from random places/businesses. The bagels are NY style and very delicious. I had the bagel and lox platter, and it was probably the best platter I have ever had. It had so much lox on the bagel and was very filling. We are definitely coming back when we are in the area next. read more

The locale was alright, it had a very old beach vibe going on. I had the eggle sandwich which was good. The plain bagel was good as well as the egg and ham. The only thing is that it costs 12 dollars which is an insane amount for a bagel sandwich. I enjoyed my food but probably wouldn't revisit considering the price. read more

Ordered a bacon egg and cheese eggle on a cheddar everything bagel. It was really good. It took a while to get my food but it was worth it. The staff was friendly with customers but they argued back and forth a lot with each other and were disorganized with the food line. That's what took so long. I would recommend calling and ordering ahead takeout. Large assortment of bagels and muffins available. There is a sign that says if you want more than two of a certain bagel or muffin then you have to order ahead, just fyi. read more

You MUST disclose a credit card surcharge. And you must NOT call it a tax. Bagels were ok, onion bagel was burned for the eggie sandwich. Credit Cards: they have a sign that states only CC and debit cards for payment. Then they charge a surcharge!!! When they tell you total they state 'total is $29.33'. When they charge CC, the total on CC machine comes up to $31.20 (approx). I ask why difference, she clearly states "the machine adds the tax", I asked "a tax?" She stated yes. Receipt prints out-it is an 'admin fee'. Do NOT lie to customers!! read more

This is a simple sandwich shop, nothing special. Coffee isn't that good. :( Along with several other reviews about this place, I too was concerned about the lack of sanitation and general cleanliness, ie. no gloves used when making sandwiches. The man who was roaming around and sort of helping the quickly overwhelmed staff took our order incorrectly and I overheard the owner explaining to him loudly right in front of me that he screwed up, causing them to waste 2 bagels (and cause our order to take forever). It doesn't appear to be a really smooth operation with good controls in place. Additionally, I would like to suggest that they nix the weird single strawberry and 1/3 of a banana that they put in each of the side dish spots in the large carryout styrofoam container and just wrap their bagel sandwiches in brown paper with a business sticker. The amazing amount of styrofoam and plastic they use for carryout orders (including their cups for coffee) is a real turnoff. read more

Went there many times & had no complaints until recently. Bagel & coffee was $6.00, payed with 10.00 bill. Instead of giving me the $4.00 change, the woman working, not owner, put the $4.00 into the tip jar, I was shocked and just walked out. Then on 6/11/24 I return and order an everything bagel with honey nut cream cheese to go. Started eating the bagel and wonder where cream cheese was. Very little and some areas had none. Will think twice before going back. If I do, will unwrap & check before leaving establishment. read more

I would say 2 starts but gave it 3 because I enjoyed the service. The ladies working are no frills and straight to business... but... hardly any handwashing and touching multiple things all while making your food was off putting. The cheese and bacon etc are all microwaved first then but in a warmer thing which doesn't really toast the bagels so the sandwich turns out chewy. It's a place that I wouldn't say is bad but not so good either. read more

The coffee was decent. Customer service was good. Everybody was very friendly and attentive, from the cashier to the wait staff.

Now to the other things that I have tasted; I tried their chai chiller. Even though it was too sweet for my liking (I reckon it was made with chai syrup). However, I think it tasted great -and the spiciness really was coming through. Finally, the tried the morning glory baked item. It was good. The combination of coconut, carrots, cinnamon, and raisins worked well together. I also got an orange-something scone, but have not tried it yet. I will have to come back and update my review once I do. The place looks eclectic but it works! It also has a small gift shop at the entrance which is a good option if needed.

We had the choice of sitting outside, inside or at the bar! It was quite busy when we arrived so it was a little bit of a wait to get served. However, Our server was very sweet and attentive towards our party. Gave us some great recommendations. We started off with clam chowder, gumbo, and ceviche and it came out pretty quickly. Everything was made in house and absolutely delicious! The gumbo was my favorite. After the appetizers came through we ordered our main dishes and got fried shrimp, and fish tacos! It took some time for it to come out but once it did it was super exciting to get it. Everything was delicious, and for the shrimp you had a choice of small and large. I ordered small while my boyfriend ordered a large. We had tons and tons of food and it was so so good! We finished off with some delicious key lime pie and it was well worth the waiter bringing it out to us! My favorite definitely was the key lime pie and finishing up with that as well!

Great service. Delicious seafood. Beautiful spot right on the water. We will definitely be back!…read more Highly recommend arriving early to avoid a wait.

When I go to a cafe on the Beach I expect decent food, a reasonable price, and a benign nondescript atmosphere. I don't expect to be subjected to political or religious signage where ever I gaze. I certainly don't expect an assortment of idolatry towards a intolerant conman, liar, climate change denier, traitorous, impeached politician who doesn't pay his bills, reneges on promises, and has been diagnosed with several serious mental disorders. This does nothing for the appetite. There's plenty of places where you can eat your food and know you're supporting the local economy. Avoid this place. Avoid any restaurant or place of business where customers aren't valued. Who knows what kinds of things go into the preparation of the food, if you're billed properly, or if you don't agree with their opinions. Oh, and the food was mediocre at best. Why patronage such a place? This is the time I wish Yelp had Zero stars. read more

This place without question has the absolute best food anywhere!! After visiting paradise Cafe for years, I can say with 100% certainty that the bagels are fresh and authentic. I cannot get a breakfast sandwich now anywhere without disappointment as the bar has been set so high with Paradise Bagels. Fresh toasted bagel with real butter, piled high with a fluffy egg and any kind of cheese you want and almost too much of the meat of your choice. It's a juicy, savory master piece! The Lox platter is another favorite, with the freshest real smoked salmon, capers, onion and a fresh garden picked tomato. When I go back to MI, I dream of the food. Portions are huge, prices are fair and the food is simply the best around! Highly recommend. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food is fantastic!!! As for the review made on 4/8/21, by a socialist, this place is where you can speak about anything. It is not anyone's business if you wear a mask or not. Masks are not proven to do anything. We live in Florida because we are free! If you don't like to hear opposing political views, then move to NY, NJ, CA or any other socialist place. It seems that Erin F has no respect for other human beings and yes, your racist boy, Biden won. Support your local business, not hurt them. Unfortunately, the bigots are the ones who resort to name calling. The blueberry muffins are spectacular! read more

I've lived on the Island for 23 years. I've been to this place a few times, but will never go back there again!! they put politics before anything else. with there Heritage not hate stickers and there TRAITOR Trump propaganda. It's to much for me. one of the owners said today"if they don't like it, don't come back" ok I will never come back and support that! the two ladies working there were very friendly and accommodating. the bagels are very good, and the coffee is descent. but the HATE is no cool with me. all of the cult come there with there propaganda shirts, and support this. not this REAL American!! read more

Madame Jackie the owner is a despicable, lowlife, foul mouth, woman who should not be running the business as she's running her mouth. The food was awful the service was disgusting and the owner was despicable. I would never go back to that place and I suggested nobody should frequent that place for the same reason . I regret going to that awful place and I hope I can persuade you to not repeat the mistake I've made. Do not waste your time and your money at this place because it's not worth it. The owner is the rudest person I've met in my life. read more

I absolutely adored this place. My family of six walked in, where we were told they were understaffed and we told them no problem. You wouldn't have even known. They did a fabulous job and the food was awesome. I got the lox bagel special, which was delicious. My kids all got the pancakes with bacon and loved it. My husband got the egg, turkey, and cheese bagel and he said it was great. We also tried a blueberry muffin, which was huge and delicious. My family highly recommends this spot. read more

Small cafe in a strip mall serving bagels made from dough shipped in from NY according to the proprietor. They want to be know for their bagel sandwiches. For me what they are know for is Trump fanaticism Unless you are a Capital M -MAGA fanatic-you might want to avoid this spot. The walls are covered with an homage to Trump although the great photo of him and Epstein seems to be missing. read more

We have been visiting AMI for years. We didn't go in 2017 because the owner had been so vocally right wing. We tried again this year. It was even worse. Employees wearing Trump shirts. The owner loudly proclaiming that Central American children are better off in detention camps rather than with their horrible parents. My stomach was in knots. Don't visit this place. read more

Bagels are good (only thing I tried) attitude problem w/ older woman at front counter ( maybe time to retire). BEWARE! TRUMP propaganda everywhere, signs etc. "Hate my Government" ?? These people got issues . NO political anything should be displayed at a business like this when you are serving people from all different political beliefs. I won't be back. read more

Politics does not belong in a restaurant. This is clearly a right wing eatery, they don't try to hide it.
