I get the everything bagel with scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage. While delicious it is kind of expensive ($12.22 for a bagel) I guess we are in Hyde Park. Staff is pretty friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]not really much of an ambiance or vibe in here though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'd grab my bagel to go or sit outside and people watch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I was excited to try this cool new spot. It was a bit disappointed. My bagel was hard and not easy to eat. I did enjoy the bananas foster cream cheese. My companions were not wowed their bagel sandwiches either. Seemed pricey as well. Service and staff were nice and helpful. I'd like to come back in the near future and give the place another shot, but I'm not sure I will. Space was pleasant and bright. read more

Sesame - French Toast Bagel with Bananas Foster cream cheese Brewed coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My favorite spot to grab a bagel or coffee while shopping in the village! Staff is always so friendly and the bagels are fire. I love the different toppings they offer. Def recommend read more

Chris made a fantastic iced latte! I will always ask for him. Sesame's bagels were delicious. Can't wait to come back.

So after my first review I went back with my hubby. My order: one toasted sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese and 2 hot coffees with cream. Wait time: 20 minutes Order received: 2 black ice coffees and a sesame bagel with plain cream cheese. Like seriously how can they get bagels wrong so often? The store had about 10 clients and 8 employees that I could see. Prices are NYC service is ........ not NYC read more

Not quite sure why this place has so many poor reviews..quite frankly this is the best bagel I've had in Tampa. I had the lox and loved it! The cream cheese was heavily spread and the fish tasted great. I'm looking forward to the next market so I have an excuse to come back read more

Ordered half a dozen bagels from here this morning & they all arrived stale and rock solid. They also messed up my order and didn't include the flavors I requested. Everything was bland too. Honestly, Einstein has way better bagels. read more

This place has been the talk of town since it recently opened. I came in very early on a Sunday morning to beat the crowds and was surprised at how quickly I was able to get in and out. I had the iced latte and decided to also try a French toast bagel with their seasonal peanut crunch spread. The latte was great and balanced. The bagel was decent and toasted to my preference. The peanut crunch spread was more like regular crunch peanut butter vs a cream cheese spread to me. Enjoyed the bagel, but I think I would opt for a different spread next time on my bagel. read more

Great Breakfast Bagel! My favorite is the Everything Bagel, bacon , Fried egg and cheese! little pricey

Bagel was just okay, I'm comparing it to NYC bagels though so do with that as you will. Got the scallion cream cheese and that was quite good. Not impressed with drink selection or wait time for food read more

The most bland everything bagel I've had in my life. Edible but not good. You're better off getting Einstein Bagels or bagels from the grocery store. Their tip/signature screen was upside down. I asked the cashier and he said it's a "new system" and couldn't fix it. Lowest tip option was 18% (that I could tell, considering I had to read it upside down). Pretty outrageous considering you aren't being served. There may have been a custom tip option but I couldn't read it. read more

No clue what the negative reviews are talking about. Granted I visited after a night out at Jekyll and Ro and wanted to pick up bagels to save for breakfast the next morning so there was no wait. As a former NY'er, these are Long Island bagels and they taste amazing. Please note the bagels you get from LI are different from Brooklyn or Manhattan. These aren't as chewy but they have great flavor and consistency. I recommend the maple bacon spread and the lox and dill spread. Shout out to Austin! (Love, the OGs from Ciros) read more

Love the team. Ari is the best! I live upstairs and it's super consistent and delish. Order online all the time.

45min for a bagel and cream cheese is very disappointing...that's almost half a flight to New York for the real thing read more

Sesame - Everything bagel and cream cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is truly a hidden gem! I am new to the area and stumble upon Sesame. I got the French Toast bagel with the Maple bacon cream cheese it's was Delicious! The entire staff was kind. There was a small wait but it's expected on a busy day. That also means that the food is good. read more

I got the smoked BLT on an Everything Bagel and it was so good! The bacon was crispy, the lettuce and tomato were fresh, and the Swiss cheese and jalapeño cream cheese were the perfect addition! I'll definitely be back to order this again. The service was quick and the employees were friendly! Love having this bagel shop in Hyde Park!! read more

Sesame - Smoked BLT on an Everything Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I waited 30 minutes to get my food when the line wasn't even that long... then I got home and opened my bagel and saw it was burnt. Very frustrated given these aren't cheap bagels. My friends also came back burnt. I also got jalapeño cream cheese on it and it was just plain cream cheese. Not sure if their jalapeño one just has no flavor or if they gave me the wrong one, but I will not be going back here. read more

No, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. A bagel maker does not wear a chef jacket. I don't know what this place thinks it is but no, you don't keep bagels on top of the refrigerator where you keep your cream cheese. No no no no no no no no no no no no no the bagel suck. read more

Picked up an order on 7/2 around 3pm and first saw this bug that was in my cream cheese. Not sure how no one noticed it as it was right on top and moving a lot. As if that wasn't bad enough there was also a hair in my bagel. Really concerned about the level of cleanliness in the back and how much else goes unnoticed. read more

Don't waste your time. Average bagels and 45 minute to get a toasted bagel with cream cheese. They'll be out of business in the next year.

outstanding service ... bagels are amazing! My go to breakfast spot. I recommend the sausage egg and cheese bagel.

I love coming here! Excellent BEC, and the service is fantastic- especially India, she is so personable and good at her job.

I have to say I read reviews and saw 2 stars and wondered if we should try this. The line on Sunday morning was long but moved very quickly. The staff is AMAZING! The bagels are delicious! We're CT transplants and missed good bagels. This place is delicious and will be our Sunday morning go to! read more

Sesame bagels were good bagels and had great cream cheese flavors. However, I can't justify going back when it took an hour to make a bagel with cream cheese. Overall the food was just not worth the wait and I won't be going back. read more

I ordered a $6 large hot tea (overpriced!) and a bagel & cream cheese. Lots of waste here with every order- even when dining in your order comes in a paper bag. read more

This place is garbage. The wait was an hour and the Everything bagels were virtually plain. The bacon was not cooked. All in all this is a terrible place and I recommend Pete's Bagels in Unit or Frankie's Deli. They are nowhere near a NY Bagels place. read more

I was excited to try this place as there are not many bagel places in tampa. I saw that the reviews were average but I wanted to give it a try. I went on a Sunday morning at 11:30. You'd think they would have a full staff equipped to handle the rush you'd expect at this time, however there were only 4 employees. Ordering went pretty quick. When my friend and I arrived, there were 4 groups ahead of us. After we ordered, we realized the place was PACKED with people waiting. While waiting for our order, we looked over behind the counter and saw a stream of about 15 tickets not even hung up on the line! It ended up taking 35 minutes for our bagels to come out when all we got were 2 bagels with cream cheese. To make it worse, the bagel was subpar at best. Both were a little burnt and the cream cheese wasn't even spread over the whole bagel. Not really the "NY bagel" you'd expect. It was also kinda pricy, over $6 for a small bagel. Overall, I am disappointed with my experience and I don't anticipate returning. It is not worth the wait or price. read more

Went in at 7 am when they're supposed to open, to be told by an employee that they're not opening because he was the only one there and that his manager didn't show up. There is an epidemic of laziness and entitlement engulfing the businesses in Hyde Park. This is the 3rd one to do this in the last 2 months. read more

Just disappointed I went there three times this was my third time and my final time the bagels are average they're not the bagels I am used to I was born and raised in the Bronx New York so I know what a good bagel is I think it's overpriced $3 for one bagel with nothing on it I'm looking forward to h&h opening up on Dale mabry I was also told today after my rewards card was filled up that they weren't honoring it anymore so I got nothing for free and they actually asked me if I want to sign up on a new program and I politely declined.. I was also asked twice if I wanted my six bagels toasted and I said no. Just sliced so I had to wait because they toasted the six bagels and they had to redo it.... I don't understand how bagels could be done so wrong routinely. Anyway..won't be going back anymore read more

I absolutely love this place i was referred to go to this location by a family/friend. Sesame is much better in price, staff is very friendly, and the coffee and bagel I ordered were delicious! read more

Location is great! Living in tampa for 6 years we need more bagel places like that of up north. Unfortunately on a Saturday morning you will find the line of a bagel place as such. It took about 30 minutes to receive my order. Contents of sandwich were good but the bagel itself was not like New York. read more

Ordered a sausage egg and cheese, they gave me a bacon egg and cheese instead. I even asked the girl at the counter if it was a sausage egg and cheese because she rang me up for a bacon and she said yes. Went back and asked for my correct order and they said they'd make one right away and it was a bacon egg and cheese again. Don't go here! read more

The lox bagel was really good! And the nice staff were really nice. Definitely check it out on the farmers market day!

Most amazing bagels i've ever had! The food was amazing and their refreshers are awesome as well. The service was amazing and was very fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the music and the decor are amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very cute! read more

I sent my daughter there with my credit card because they boasted about how their egg sandwiches tasted just like Long Island egg sandwiches so we ordered from there . Now my daughter just gives them the card and that's it I mean how much can it cost for 4 bacon egg and cheese sandwiches ?? She didn't keep the receipt or remember how much I'm just looking at my statement and for 4 egg sandwiches it cost $77 !!!!!!! For 4 bacon egg and cheese sandwiches with hardly any bacon 1 slice of cheese and a spoonful of eggs $77 !!!! That's ridiculous and if you go to this place you're out of your freaking mind . I wonder what a real sandwich must cost there I'm amazed and appalled I do NOT recommend and I will NEVER order ANYTHING from here again read more

The smookler and banana peanut butter oats Fire !!! Service is amazing!! Good vibes !!! Oh and make sure to try their new coffee!!

Service, waited almost an hour for 3 bagel sandwiches. Ridiculous. Almost done with drinks.

I ordered French toast bagels online and they were out. when I arrived they explained that they had run out and allowed me to select an alternative. they also gave me 2 free bagels the next time I was there. staff was very kind read more

I get the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich weekly. It is absolutely my go to bagel and coffee shop. Highly recommend coming here and India is the best read more

If you want to wait 30 mins for a overpriced bagel this is your spot. Terrible service and long wait times
