Brooksville’s breakfast bench is about to get deeper. Brooksville Bagels, a new morning-focused shop, is working toward an opening at 330 Ponce de Leon Blvd, with the owners saying they have filed local permits and are hoping to be up and running “in a couple more months” once everything clears. If that timeline holds, the storefront would add another early-morning option in a part of downtown where independent breakfast choices are still pretty thin.
According to What Now, the business responded to a Facebook question on April 1 with an update: “Just submitted for permitting so we are hoping a couple more months! Follow the page for updates.” The outlet also reported that it tried to reach co-owner Anastasia Alaimo, but she could not be reached for comment.
Owners and filings
State business records reviewed by BizProfile show that Brooksville Bagels LLC was formed in January 2025. The filing lists Anastasia D. Alaimo as an authorized person, with Michael Alaimo named as manager and registered agent for the company.
Location and permits
The shop is slated for the small commercial block at 330 Ponce de Leon Blvd and, according to What Now, will share the stretch with businesses including Allen's Florist, Jungle Express Learning Center and Wagging Tails Grooming. City building records indicate that the Ponce de Leon address has held commercial permits in recent years, a sign the space is already set up for storefront use, per the City of Brooksville.
What to expect
Brooksville Bagels has not released a menu or nailed down operating hours yet, so locals curious about their options will have to wait on official word. For now, many in the area still lean on existing spots like Bagels & Beyond for deli-style bagels. The April 1 Facebook reply from Brooksville Bagels reiterated that they are hoping the permitting process wraps up “in a couple more months,” and this story will be updated once the owners announce a firm opening date.
