Homesick Bagels Tampa is officially open, and North Hyde Park just got a serious upgrade in the bagel scene, local dining, and comfort food culture. Tampa’s trusted dough experts are back with a brand-new bagel shop and cafe located at 1528 W North B St., bringing authentic flavors and familiar warmth to the neighborhood. Created by the same talented team behind Santoro’s Pizza and the neighboring Giancarlo’s Cafe & Spirits, this opening feels less like a gamble and more like a home run.
A New Chapter from Tampa’s Dough Masters
Backed by the proven success of Santoro’s Pizza, Homesick Bagels Tampa continues the legacy with a concept rooted in experience, craft, and nostalgia. The shop promises authentic New Jersey-style bagels that “deliver comfort, quality, and nostalgia in every bite.” That mission alone sets the tone for a spot designed to feel both exciting and familiar, especially for bagel lovers craving East Coast authenticity.
Daily Hours and Cafe Offerings
Open daily from 7 am – 3 pm, Homesick Bagels Tampa serves more than just bagels, creating a relaxed cafe atmosphere, morning routine, and neighborhood hangout. Guests can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, juices, and sodas alongside their meals, making it an easy stop whether you’re starting the day or grabbing a late breakfast.
Bagels, Spreads, and Everything In Between
When it comes to variety, Homesick Bagels Tampa delivers in a big way with house-made bagels, fresh spreads, and classic combinations. Customers can choose from more than half a dozen bagel types and nearly a dozen cream cheese and butter spreads. Whether you’re into sweet, savory, or something in between, there’s no shortage of options to build the perfect bite.
Breakfast and Lunch Sandwiches Worth the Hype
If you’re leaning savory or stopping by later in the day, Homesick Bagels Tampa offers an impressive lineup of breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, and hearty portions served on their signature bagels. The menu stays focused but satisfying, ensuring quality stays front and center without overwhelming choices.
Yes, They Have Pork Roll
True to their promise of Jersey nostalgia, Homesick Bagels Tampa proudly serves pork roll, classic sides, and comfort staples. The menu also includes hash browns and Joe Chips, rounding out the experience with familiar flavors. One standout already catching attention is the 3 Lil Pigs breakfast sandwich—loaded with lettuce, tomato, ham, bacon, pork roll, a hashbrown, and your choice of cheese, all stacked on your bagel of choice.
A Trusted Name Behind the Counter
Owner Travis Kaiser brings serious credibility to Homesick Bagels Tampa, thanks to the ongoing success of Santoro’s Pizza and the instant popularity of Giancarlo’s Cafe & Spirits. His track record speaks volumes in Tampa’s competitive food scene. The team even shared a behind-the-scenes look via an Instagram reel from their first visit, building buzz before many locals have had their first bite.
A Welcome Addition to Tampa’s Bagel Boom
While Tampa continues to see a rise in new bagel shops, Homesick Bagels Tampa stands out as a local favorite, independent business, and community-driven concept. It’s refreshing to see a homegrown team step confidently into a growing market with a product rooted in authenticity rather than trends.
