Welcome to Pete's Bagels at the Tarpon Springs sponge docks! We're a friends-and-family owned bagel shop, cafe and gift shop based out of St. Pete, with locations around Tampa Bay. This building is our newest and most scenic location; situated right on the Anclote River and within walking distance of all the sponge docks have to offer.
The space is bright and eclectic, combining nautical Old Florida charm and odes to the building's history (formerly Dolphin Gift Shop) with modern design elements. Great for casual, laid back gatherings as well as being a lovely backdrop for the most special occasions. Our space is ideal for food-and-bev centered events, with plenty of seating and table space - and also caters well to workshops, clubs and photo/video shoots.
