A Cozy Family-Owned Cafe
At Bagels & Brews Cafe, we believe great food and great coffee bring people together. Since 2019, our cozy, family-owned community cafe has been a place where locals gather for fresh bagels, hearty breakfasts, and expertly brewed coffee, always served with a smile.
How It All Started
2017
Our story began in 2017, when a devoted regular fell in love—not just with the food, but with the people behind the counter and the welcoming, small-town charm that made every visit special.
2019
That regular was Nick Mavrikas, and alongside his wife Amanda, that spark turned into something bigger. In 2019, they purchased what was then known as Brooklyn Bagels & Deli, fulfilling a dream of bringing great food and even better service to the Sarasota community.
For the next four years, they ran the deli with heart—serving fresh bagels, satisfying breakfasts and lunches, and coffee that kept locals coming back. Their passion and commitment led to the opening of a second location, expanding their reach while staying true to their core values of quality and community.
2025
In 2023, they sold the business and stepped away—but the story wasn’t over. In May 2025, Nick and Amanda returned, bringing new energy, new faces, and a fresh name: Bagels & Brews Cafe.
Today, Bagels & Brews Cafe is a reimagined version of the place they—and so many others—loved. It’s about community, comfort, and consistency, served up daily with a smile and a whole lot of heart.
