Jeff’s has been my go-to bagel spot for the last few months now. One day I was just in the mood for a GOOD bagel. I’ve mentioned on here how I’m on the hunt for good pizza in Orlando, but once I found Jeff’s my hunt for a good bagel has been achieved. And since I first happened upon it, they’ve been popping up all over town and now I have options basically no matter where I am in the city.

The bagels are fresh, soft, and chewy. Jeff’s has a bunch of great flavors on the regular rotation, plus they have a bagel of the day flavor that changes weekly. I’ve tried a good variety of them and really have never had a bad experience. On top of all the bagel flavors, there are a variety of fun cream cheese flavors too. The last one I ordered was the special bagel of the day, a garlic sesame bagel with the roasted jalapeno. It was fantastic. Sesame bagels are one of my top bagel options, even though they can get messy. And this was an elevated version of that.

I have seen there are little kits to make a lox situation, so that is a good option. I’m not really a fan of lox, so I haven’t given it a try. However, I am waiting for the day they start making breakfast sandwiches. I will be there weekly if not daily. I like a good bagel and cream cheese, but I also love a great breakfast sandwich. From the quality I’ve had at Jeff’s, I feel like they’d make some top-notch bfast sammies.

Speaking of great quality, Jeff’s Bagel Run has quickly become one of my favorite go-to coffee spot. From what I’ve seen on their Instagram, they’ve partnered with Otus Coffee, which is a match made in heaven as far as I’m concerned. I’m not a huge fan of bananas but I’ve been reconsidering because I am OBSESSED with their banana bread cold brew. It indeed tastes like a cozy pastry and I opt to get half the sweetening and it is just a complete delight. Gives me my caffeine fix and makes my heart happy. I gave their most recent seasonal latte, the Piña Co-Latte, a try with half the sweetening and I really enjoyed it. It had that fruity, creamy flavor and just hit the spot during the summer season.

I went to the recent opening of their latest location and both Jeff and Danielle, the owners, are super sweet. I’m super excited to see all the success of Jeff’s. The city of Orlando can use a solid bagel option and I’m glad it’s them!
