Great American Bagel

2 cream cheese bagels and two water cost me $ 12…but they do give you nearly an inch of cream cheese. it’s yummy. Ride service though…

Had to convince the manager to make a turkey panini … he didn’t want to at first because he was out of pre-​made sandwiches. Ridiculous!

There arent a ton of options once you enter the terminal. The line at Starbucks was ridiculously long so we decided to grab breakfast here.
The place is neat and clean and the employees are a bit nicer than we expected. I couldn’t help but laugh a little at the old school snoop dogg music that was playing loud enough for everyone to hear. I like snoop, but his old school stuff probably isn’t appropriate for public consumption at an airport.
The bagels (asiago omelete) were exceptionally good. I haven’t tried the coffee yet because it is piping hot! If you are in the Delta terminal and want a quick bite, skip the Starbucks line and try this place.

I paid $ 12 for a tuna bagel and a water. Two bites later, the bagel was in the trash. It was basically a mayonnaise sandwich with a tiny bit of tuna in it.

This 1 star rating is solely for their panini. The chicken pesto panini has got to be the worst panini I have ever had! The bread was soggy. The whole sandwich looked like it was microwaved then put on the press. Once done it had grill marks but was still soggy and limp. The whole point of pressing the sandwich is to toast the bread and let the cheese melt. The toasted bread gives a nice crunchy contrast to the soft interior. I think the only way to make a panini this bad is to pre-​make the sandwich to let the pesto sauce saturate the bread. I think I will stick to the bagels here and get a Cuban at the Columbia Café down the terminal. That will at least be made properly. I’m off to get some gelato to try to forget this horrible sandwich.

Sorry, I am a NJ bagel snob — disclaimer. All I got was a coffee and a toasted plain bagel with light butter. When I opened the bagel, there was butter dripping everywhere… boo :(Also, I think all of TSA was in there at the same time I was and they definitely catered to them more so than me (which is fine as I am sure they are much more regular customers), but it made me feel pretty alienated.

Got the Bagel w/​Egg and Cheese this morning. Cost around $ 5. The menu said it comes with my choice of cheese, but instead was asked what type of bagel I wanted. No complaints though, I promptly chose the most expensive bagel, the Tomazzo, which seemed to be a bagel infused with mozzarella cheese and a sun dried tomato spread. Delish. Lots of cheesiness.
Also got one of those Natural orange juices, which was nearly $ 5 as well. All told, not a bad price for a bagel but an overpriced drink.
Service was quick despite having a decent crowd. I found a seat in front of the counter and was able to scarf down my bagel in the 10 minutes before my flight.

This place is where you should go if you don’t have much time and just want a quick bite (and don’t give much care to quality). I got a bagel sandwich — it was a special Tampa Sunrise or something. Anyways, it did not live up to expectations. It was said to come with scrambled eggs on it, but what actually showed up, was anything but scrambled — they were in the shape of a hockey puck. In addition, the sandwich was extremely dry… so although, there were both eggs and cheese to make the sandwich a little juicier, it was dryer than ever!
I have to say that the workers were extremely friendly (even though they were not good at preparing the food), which is the only reason I rated this as two, and not as a one-​star place.

Had the cowboy grilled cheese bagel.
Asiago cheese bagel with cheddar, provolone, and roast beef. It was supremely delicious.
Their service was quick, friendly, and efficient.
That being said — WAY overpriced. It cost almost $ 18 for 2 of those sandwiches. WHAT!?! Absolutely ridiculous.
If you have already gone through security and need breakfast — this is a good option. I love me some Starbucks coffee but their bagels aren’t very good.

Not bad for a small shop. They have a wide range of bagels. They sell salads, omelets, sandwiches, coffee etc.
Do not come here expecting to get a full range of breakfast items. But they do carry most basic items.
If you order a bagel with cream cheese, here is the scenario: If you like cream cheese, a lot of cream cheese, then you’ll be smiling at your bagel. But on the other hand, if you do not too much cream cheese, you better let them know before hand to be light on the cream cheese. Guess which side I was on! :)
Overall good place to get a quick breakfast fix.

Located in the Delta Terminal at TPA, this place serves bagel sandwiches throughout the day. Toasted but a tad on the salty side, this place provides quick food that is a step up from the pre-​made boxed fare prevalent in airports. Manage your expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

Since my husband and I had an early flight we didn’t have a chance to grab breakfast on the way to the airport so we ended up looking once we got through security and found this place by our gate. I ordered the Jalapeño Cheddar BReakfast Bagel and my husband ordered the Asiago Omelet bagel sandwich. Both were good, I even managed to take a sneak bite of my husbands:) Service was quick. If you weren’t in the mood for breakfast they also had lunch menu items as well as a variety of drinks. All the fixings were displayed just like it is when you go into a Subway. Several tables were set up along the outer edge of the business to eat. I don’t think the people working behind the counter were super friendly/​happy but I can only think since it was early in the morning they weren’t quite awake yet:) There were also several Anyways great selection of items and reasonable prices.
