Jeff’s Bagel Run Brings Viral BITE to Tampa Bay’s Brandon Area

ExpatsList readers, get ready for a tasty new addition to your Tampa Bay breakfast lineup: Jeff’s Bagel Run has opened its doors in Brandon, bringing its viral bagel sensation to a new neighborhood.

The Brandon location, situated at 875 E Bloomingdale Avenue, officially debuted with a soft opening on September 30, 2026, and is set to have its grand opening on October 1. This marks the second location for Jeff’s Bagel Run in the Tampa Bay area, following its successful debut in South Tampa.

What sets Jeff’s Bagel Run apart is its commitment to scratch-made bagels, where each bagel is handcrafted, boiled, and baked throughout the day. The menu features a wide array of bagel flavors, from classic options like everything and poppy seed to creative choices such as cacio e pepe and jalapeño cheddar. Signature and seasonal cream cheese spreads, coffee, and specialty beverages round out the offerings.

Jeff’s Bagel Run’s motto, 'always boiled, never toasted,' comes from the story of co-owner Jeff Perera, who began by delivering bagels door to door before opening his first shop in Ocoee, Florida. The concept gained national recognition in 2023 when it was named one of America’s Best Bagels at NYC Bagelfest.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of Jeff’s or a curious expat looking to try something new, this new Brandon location promises to be a must-visit spot for bagel lovers. Follow Jeff’s Bagel Run on Instagram for rotating specials and new menu additions.
