OFFICIALLY TAMPA BAY’S FIRST LOSER 🥈🥯🐦
We came for gold.
We got silver.
So naturally, we’re going to be completely normal about this.
In all seriousness, Baygulls Bakery was voted SILVER for Best Bakery in Tampa Bay Times 2026 Best of the Best — and seeing our little bagel shop on that podium means more than we can put into words.
We’re still the new birds on the block. We’re learning, growing, screwing things up, figuring things out, rolling a ridiculous amount of dough, and trying every day to build a bakery Tampa can be proud to call its own.
And somehow, you guys put us at #2.
The Flock showed up and showed out!🐦🩵🥯
Every vote, every share, every person who told a friend about us, every Saturday line, every sold-out case, every review, every “I’ll take a dozen” — this one belongs to all of you.
To our crew: thank you for believing in this crazy little bakery and putting in the work every damn day.
And congratulations to Cheesecake Chicks on taking home the gold. 🥇and to Mazzaros Italian Market for the bronze.
Enjoy it.
We’ll see you next year. 👀
🥈 2026 Best of the Best — Best Bakery
📍 Tampa, FL
Thank you, Tampa. Seriously.
Second place in the rankings. First place in our weird little seagull hearts.
Team Baygulls 🥯🐦
