According to its website and social media pages, Pete’s Bagels newest outpost resides at 1407 49th St. S adjacent to other popular concepts like Island Flavors & Tings and 1 Chick 1 Bro Cafe—but unlike its other Tampa Bay locations, it will only serve as a grab ‘n go shop. Pete’s Gulfport shop officially opens on Thursday, May 2.
Pete’s new walk-up window will dish out fresh bagels and bulk cream cheeses, in addition to espresso and coffee from up-and-coming roaster Look Alive.
The Gabber says that the new production space and grab ‘n go concept can crank out about 2,000 bagels a day—and its glowing “fresh bagels” sign will act as a Batman signal for fresh bakes.
Pete’s offers a variety of expected bagels like plain, everything, poppyseed, salt and sesame, plus a few unique flavors like cheddar jalapeño and cinnamon raisin. Its grab ‘n go cream cheese options will be scallion, garden herb, harissa, jalapeño and cinnamon, with a few vegan options on their way.
In addition to its flagship location in St. Pete’s Grand Central District (2361 1st Ave. S), Pete’s also operates a daytime cafe in Ybor City (1804 E 4th Ave.) and will soon debut a one-of-a-kind drive-thru shop on the corner of 4th St. S and 25th Ave.
The 326 square-foot building will boast a walk-up window and outdoor patio in addition to its drive-thru, but will not offer indoor seating. There’s no slated opening date for its new southside drive-thru, since the historic building “needs a lot of work and is still going through the permitting process,” according to Pete’s social media.During its soft opening from Thursday-Sunday this week, Pete’s new Gulfport spot will be open from 6 a.m.-1 p.m. Head to @petes_general on Instagram for the latest updates on its operating hours and menu items.
