Since 2001
After leaving New York for Southwest Florida, our family opened the first Stuff-A-Bagel with one goal: bring the authentic New York bagel and deli experience we grew up with to our new home. More than 25 years later, Stuff-A-Bagel has grown from one neighborhood bagel shop into locations across Florida — but the heart of what we do hasn’t changed. We still make our bagels fresh, crack real eggs, serve the deli classics we were raised on, and believe our customers should feel like part of the family. Built by Family. Made to Last. Stuff-A-Bagel has grown alongside our family. From early mornings baking bagels to opening new locations and serving some of Florida’s biggest organizations, each chapter has been built by the people behind the counter, the family behind the business, and the communities that continue to support us. The shops may have multiplied. The mission never changed: serve great food, take care of people, and never forget where we came from.

Amazing bagels, delicious pastries and the coffee is fantastic-the real winners are the staff!! So polite and they use your name when giving you what you ordered-sounds small but honestly it’s very meaningful. You can get decent bagels anywhere but customer service can be hard to come by.
