Paradise Bagels

"Delicious. And you need to try the cold can coffee prepared for you while you wait. You order your food and pay after you eat. There will probably be a line, so bring your patience and enjoy."

"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."

"Great service and food. Jackie is so welcoming and thoughtful. The bagels are freshly baked daily except the gluten free which are frozen and rigoursly kept from contamination. My son's GF bagel was outstanding, We look forward to this cafe every vacation. Specialty coffee to order. Delicious food , and too much of it. I take my leftovers back to the hotel. My teens manage to eat all of it, and don't get hungry early. I only gave the atmosphere 4 stars, because she keeps some political pictures on a wall. I personally don't agree with her choices, but vigorously defend her right to free speech. Also she never mentions politics, Red or Blue, or whYe er Jackies wonderful to all. I've watched her grandson grow up over 15 years. He's made Jackie a great- grandmother. She's also great with kids and teens. We're happy to go there almost every day of vacation."
