Pete’s Bagels opens a new grab ’n go shop in Gulfport this week

More gluten is coming to Gulfport this week.

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. [content-1] 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.
