Sesame is a warm and welcoming bagel shop in Hyde Park, Tampa, often celebrated for having the best bagels in the area. The bagels are absolutely delicious, fresh, and not typical, with specific praise for the egg bagel. Popular bagel sandwiches include the bacon, egg & cheese on an Asiago bagel and the BLT with avocado, both described as good, fresh, delicious, and tasting great. The shop also serves colorful, seasonal drinks, with the strawberry matcha frequently called amazing and absolutely amazing. Coffee is also available.
The service is consistently highlighted as wonderful, excellent, and special, with staff noted for being warm, friendly, patient, and kind, making customers feel genuinely cared for, right at home, and not rushed. This attention elevates the experience. The space itself is cute but small, with some seating inside and outside seating available. It is considered a great spot for a quick bite while walking around Hyde Park, and it is dog friendly with free water inside. Some find the prices reasonable, while others note the cost can seem quite expensive or a bit high.
The shop holds fun events every third Sunday of the month and offers a military discount. Many reviewers state they always want to come back, having tried other bagel places but consistently returning to Sesame.
