NAPLES, Fla. (WINK) — Bagel lovers in Naples have a new spot to grab breakfast, with Empire Bagel Factory opening its newest location in the city.
The new shop is located at 3369 Pine Ridge Road, Suite 104. The business has been serving Southwest Florida since 1994 and is continuing to expand its footprint across the region.
Empire Bagel Factory offers a variety of bagels, including everything, asiago, blueberry, cinnamon raisin, pumpernickel, spinach, multigrain and more. The bagels are baked fresh in-store, while the cream cheese is whipped on-site.
The menu goes beyond bagels, with breakfast and lunch options including a turkey club, chicken salad sandwich, BLT and more. Customers can also order an "everything but the bagel," a lighter option served without the bagel.
The bakery's other baked goods are also made by the staff in-house.
This marks Empire Bagel Factory's eighth location, with even more locations in the works.
Customers say bagels and coffee are a classic combination, but having a place to sit, eat and spend time with others is what makes the restaurant special.
For co-owner Rachel Oest, quality is important, but so is making sure customers feel like they are getting their money's worth.
"I wanted to make sure the servings were worth what people pay. We stack up the meat and layer on the cream cheese," Oest said.
The new Pine Ridge Road location is open daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Empire Bagel Factory also has locations throughout Southwest Florida, including Naples, Marco Island, Fort Myers and Cape Coral.
Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast, meeting someone for coffee or picking up lunch, the new Empire Bagel Factory gives Naples another place to enjoy a fresh bagel and a bite to eat.
