Lukes Bagels

Luke’s Bagels is a Gainesville staple for anyone craving a fresh, chewy, New York-style bagel with a local twist. Tucked just off the main strip, this laid-back spot serves up hand-rolled, boiled bagels piled high with everything from classic schmear to stacked breakfast sandwiches that sell out fast—especially on weekends. It's the kind of place where you’ll find UF students lined up out the door, half-asleep but fully committed to getting their favorite order before it’s gone.

​

But beyond the bagels, Luke’s is quietly woven into Gainesville’s sticker scene. Its walls, counters, and even the napkin dispensers are tagged with layers of local sticker art—some peeling, some fresh, all part of the evolving patchwork that makes the space feel like a community hub. Whether you’re a regular or just passing through, grabbing a bagel here means stepping into a hyperlocal world of flavor, grit, and creativity.
