Salty Bagel and Grill — Restaurant in Satellite Beach

Salty Bagel, 1124 A1A Satellite Beach, FL 32937

4 Stars

The original Salty Bagel opened at this location in Satellite Beach, FL in 2021. Since then, they have expanded and added two more locations, one in Cocoa Beach and one in the bustling city of Melbourne, FL. This gives us two possibilities to consider. Either they are excellent and have been so successful in a short period of time that they can afford to open more locations, or they may have an inexperienced business manager and are expanding too quickly, similar to what happened with Crumbs Bake Shop. Do you remember them? As I pulled into the crowded parking lot, I could gather that it was more likely the former.

Now, let's start with honesty. Not many places in Brevard County actually make their own bagels, except for Salty Bagel, and boy, what a difference! They offer a wide variety of fresh bagels made on-site every day. Today, Lola is behind the counter, and despite being from Gen Z, she has quickly climbed to the top of my generational customer service list. While taking my order, she spontaneously said, "Iced coffee is a refreshing drink on a hot summer day." This brought a smile to my face as I nodded in agreement, knowing that she wasn't just reciting company bunkum.

Along with the Iced Coffee, I requested a Salty Bagel, a Nova Breakfast Sandwich, and a Bacon Egg and Cheese bagel. The iced coffee truly did put a smile on my face. It was not only incredibly refreshing, as Lola suggested, but also packed with flavor. The Salty Bagel with cream cheese was simply amazing. I don't think I've ever had a bagel that was so fresh and delicious before. If I had just ordered a variety of bagels and cream cheese, this would undoubtedly be a 5-star review. However, that's not the case. The ingredients in the sandwiches were mediocre at best, while the bagels themselves were wonderfully baked and toasted. It seems that the owners invested so much care and money into the bagel-making process that they made a small compromise on the quality of the sandwich fillings. What I mean is that the salmon, red onion, capers, and tomato on the Nova were only average, while the bagel itself was outstanding! The same can be said for the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich. I've had better-tasting bacon at health food places, believe it or not!

In conclusion, I can confidently say that Salty Bagel offers the best bagels in the Tri-County area, without a doubt. However, I would recommend enjoying them with cream cheese and skipping the sandwiches until they improve the quality just...

A great place for lunch – excellent food, Good prices, Great Staff This restaurant is located in a small strip center to the west side of A1A . The parking lot has about 60 spaces for all the stores so there is plenty of parking. There are 2 tables outside and about 12 tables and a seating area inside. The entrance has a large open area in front of the register with a menu on the wall to your left. The floors are polished concrete and the entire establishment was very clean. The tables are light would with metal chairs. You order and pay at the register and they make your food and bring it to your table. I ordered a french dip with a tea. The price was $9.95. You get your own drinks near the back of the store. The food came out within minutes. It was one of the best french dip sandwiches I have ever had. The staff was friendly and professional and the atmosphere was pleasant. I definitely recommend this for people wanting a good meal...

Outstanding bagels! The best of any Beachside.

It's the texture for me. So many bagel places get away with selling basically round bread; it's so sad. These bagels are chewy, as a bagel should be, yet tender enough to actually bite into rather than gnaw at and tear.

We had the asiago, blueberry, and egg everything bagels. All excellent! A highlight for me was the coverage of everything seasoning for the egg bagel on the top, sides, and bottom.

Clean, welcoming environment. The friendly folks at the counter graciously answered all of my many questions, took my somewhat complex order with no issue, and even let me try a free sample of their flavored cream cheeses (I dislike when they're overly sweet; this was a lovely texture cream cheese with the right amount of sweetness and flavor).

Clear attention to detail throughout; counter service; seating inside and out.

So glad to have a great bagel shop...
