St. Pete Bagel Company

What St. Pete Bagel Company does

St. Pete Bagel Co. is a privately held, independent food retail business operating in Tampa Bay, Florida since 1987. The company sells handcrafted New York-style bagels, donuts, bagel sandwiches (including specialty items such as the Lox Bagel Sandwich), and in-house roasted coffee and espresso beverages primarily through a single company-owned storefront in St. Petersburg, with secondary digital sales channels including gift cards, a loyalty program delivered through Square, and online ordering via the order.store third-party platform.

The core product line is built around a longstanding New York-style bagel recipe and craft technique, paired with a proprietary in-house coffee roasting operation. The technology stack is minimal and largely off-the-shelf: Square handles point-of-sale, gift cards, and loyalty, and order.store powers online ordering. There is no disclosed proprietary software, no mobile app, no API, and no integration partners beyond Square. Core technology is not disclosed.

The business model is direct-to-consumer retail food service, monetized through one-time per-transaction sales of food and beverage items to walk-in customers at the storefront, supplemented by online orders. Revenue is split across four primary categories: bagels, donuts, sandwiches, and coffee/espresso. No enterprise or B2B customers are disclosed; the customer base is local Tampa Bay residents and visitors seeking authentic New York-style bagels. No pricing is publicly disclosed. The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent company ownership, and it has no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no M&A history. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees.
