H&H Bagels, the iconic New York bagel institution, is finally bringing its legendary flavors to Tampa! Starting next week, Tampa residents can visit the new location at 1155 South Dale Mabry Highway, with doors opening on October 2. The shop will be open daily from 6 a.m. – 4 p.m., and the first 200 customers on Thursday will receive a free tote bag with a gift card inside—a perfect kickoff for this highly anticipated arrival.
A Slice of New York in Tampa
Founded in 1972, H&H Bagels has been a cornerstone of New York City’s culinary scene. Famous for its chewy, kettle-boiled bagels, made using New York’s signature tap water, H&H has earned its spot as both a pop culture icon and a beloved local eatery. From appearances in Seinfeld to mentions in Sex and the City, this bagel shop represents the essence of authentic New York flavor.
Now, Tampa food lovers can enjoy the same authentic experience without booking a flight to Manhattan. The bagels are crafted using original dough, hand-rolled, and kettle-boiled in New York before being shipped to Tampa for the final preparation. This ensures every bite delivers the classic New York taste.
Official details and menu highlights can be found on the H&H Bagels official site, and stay updated via their Instagram and Facebook pages.
Supporting Tampa’s Local Bagel Scene
While the city welcomes this New York import, Tampa already boasts a vibrant local bagel culture. Popular spots like Pete’s General, Vito Rose, Sesame Hyde Park, Zio’s New York Bagels, and New York Bagel Cafe have long been favorites for residents.
Exciting new additions like The Bagel Nook, a New Jersey staple, are also planning to open soon. Tampa has recently seen openings from Baygulls and PopUp Bagels, with PopUp gearing up for its second location in the city. With all this action, Tampa is fast becoming a true bagel destination in Florida.
What to Expect on Opening Day
The opening on October 2 promises more than just great bagels. The first 200 guests will receive a free tote bag containing a gift card, making it a treat for both new and longtime H&H fans. This event is the perfect chance to taste authentic New York bagels, meet fellow bagel enthusiasts, and be part of Tampa’s growing culinary scene.
