I've always been a fan of Baker's Crust bagels, especially a cinnamon raisin bagel loaded with their strawberry cream cheese. It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and open gooey deliciousness! Today, Baker's Crust catered breakfast at my office, and I was excited to see a table overflowing with bagels and cream cheeses. It was like Christmas morning for carb lovers! Unfortunately, none of the bagels or cream cheeses were labeled. My excitement quickly turned into confusion when I took a big bite of what I was sure was my beloved strawberry cream cheese... only to discover it was definitely not strawberry. And let's just say an onion bagel paired with the wrong cream cheese is a combination I wouldn't recommend. The food itself was great, but a little labeling would go a long way. A simple sticker or note on the bottom of each cream cheese container and small tent cards identifying the bagel flavors would save future customers from accidental flavor roulette. Still a fan, but next time I'd like to know whether I'm biting into strawberry bliss or an unexpected onion surprise! For a side note it's so easy to order online for a quick stop on the way to work. Perfect every time!!! read more

I stopped by Baker's Crust Bagel one morning because I wanted something quick, light, and easy for breakfast. I'd seen their bagels on Instagram and they looked really good, so I decided to give them a try. I ordered the Fordy on a multigrain bagel, which comes with turkey, cheese, and bacon. Unfortunately, I accidentally selected "no bacon" when ordering, so that was disappointing. I also requested it toasted, but when I received it, the sandwich itself was still cold. It seems like they only toast the bagel before assembling the sandwich, rather than warming the entire sandwich. Even aside from that, it was just a very basic bagel sandwich. It tasted like turkey, cheese, mayonnaise, and a bagel--nothing particularly memorable or different. The ingredients were fine, but there wasn't anything that made it stand out. My biggest issue was the price. For what I received, it felt very expensive. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't live up to the expectations I had from seeing it online. If you're looking for a simple bagel sandwich, it gets the job done, but I expected more flavor and value for the cost. read more

It was just OK... Ex bagel baker here. You can still find fresh, kettle boiled bagels in Va Beach. I think these bagels come down from NY. If you enjoy a great bagel, I recommend you keep looking. Wife and I had lunch, lox bagel for me, BLTA for her. Food came out fairly quickly, but the coffee machine was being serviced (I have seen this same comment on other reviews) and I did not get my coffee until we were halfway through lunch. Food was just OK, nothing to write home about. And it was not cheap. These days when every dollar counts, you can do better. read more

Came in for a lox bagel left with a red white and blue bagel lox bagel sandwich. Easy ordering at the kiosk and no wait time to order. I ordered a cold brew and they were able to accommodate for substituting to another syrup since they were out of stock of the vanilla flavor. I ordered to go, but definitely love the wide open windows with the natural light. read more

I've been on the hunt for a good bagel with an excellent cream cheese ratio to satisfy my current pregnancy fixation and I had high hopes for Baker's Crust Bagel but they fell short. Don't get me wrong, the bagel was great! Outside was crisp but not so hard it felt like I was breaking my teeth, inside was soft and dense. We got a plain bagel with Oreo cream cheese and it felt like I got stiffed on the Oreo and cream cheese portion! It felt like it was a whisper of Oreo and the cream cheese spread was so thin - definitely not a great cream cheese to bagel ratio. We also ordered the Salmon Lox lunch sandwich on everything and the chicken salad sandwich on everything bagel. I also felt mislead with what they showed in their menu pictures vs what we actually got. The service was fast - you order on a kiosk and they call your name when your order is ready. We also tried their cookie butter latte and nitro cold brew which were both delicious! The overall space was cute and trendy. I loved the ambiance and all the cute decor. I definitely had high hopes for their food but they unfortunately fell short. read more

Pretty darn good. These carbs are truly delicious. I've been to this shopping center many times, but I never noticed Bakers Crust. It is the perfect spot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Your order from kiosks. You can dine in or out. I went for a classics, bacon, egg and cheese in and everything bagel. The bacon was crispy, the cheese was gooey, the egg was abundant and the bagel had a great savory flavor. It was the perfect choice for my morning treat. The staff were n top of it. Not only Were they polite and helpful. But they were working hard keeping tables cleared and clean. Parking is easy to navigate. It's a large parking lot across the entrance. read more

I would come back next time. The customer service was great and friendly. I ordered to go so the bagel was good and I would come back and order more items on the menu. read more

Wow! Love! This is going to be a new fav. The inside is very cute and modern and open. Loved the bagel-themed art, updated and clean bathrooms, coffee bar area and the self-order kiosks. Coffee is from Three Ships - we arrived around 1pm and they were out of the Nitro cold brew and several other kinds of coffee... hmmm. We went with two bagel sandwiches and and a smoothie and all were very good. -Strawberry, Banana, & Oat Smoothie - very good flavor, fresh and filling -Carnegie Pastrami - pumpernickel bagel - toasted and we "Reubened it" and subbed Cole slaw and Russian dressing and it was delicious! -Egg-sactly Right with a wheat everything toasted bagel The bagel sandwiches were HUGE. Giant portions so the prices are fair at about $9-15 depending on the toppings. We each only ate half and saved the rest for later. There is a deli area with some baked goods, chips, pasta salad, pickles, etc. to grab and take. The bagels themselves are exceedingly fair price (like $3 or so) and the schmears were also fair price. We loved the bagels we tried: wheat everything and pumpernickle. Noms. They have free wifi and had about 5 cute patio tables to sit outside if you'd like. I liked everything about this place and plan to bring friends here for lunch whenever I can or come telework here and have a coffee and lunch just to get out of the house. Location inside the Hilltop shopping center isn't bad bc I always love to come here and walk around and shop. read more

Stopped by Baker's Crust Bagel a few weeks ago to grab some breakfast. My favorite bagel is anything with lox or smoked salmon so as we stood at the kiosk to order, I decided on the Signature Favorite bagel which included lox, plain cream cheese, tomato and onion. As we waited, I couldn't help but notice how bright and beautifully decorated the place was. The dining area had ample seating but it did get pretty crowded on a Saturday morning. They also had an array of items for purchase such as pickles, cream cheeses, cheesecakes and an assortment of salad items along with soups from Soup Love. It took about 15 mins for our bagels to be ready and even though I enjoyed it, they added just a tad too much cream cheese for my liking. I feel like I scraped off enough to add to a whole other bagel lol. Other than that, the service was great and I'd definitely return. read more

Amazing sandwiches, wonderful atmosphere, lots of options on the menu. Service is very nice.

After going months without a bagel fix, my boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try. The interior is more modern, but it's very clean and has good music playing. But let's be honest--I wasn't here for the ambiance, I was here for a bagel... and a GOOD bagel is what we got!! We both ordered the pastrami paradise, one on an everything bagel and one on a pumpernickel. First of all, they do NOT skimp on the pastrami--truly a paradise on that sandwich!! There was also so much swiss that I thought the cheese was the wrapper haha. The pastrami was amazing, the mustard and swiss were melted and warm, and the egg was fluffy. The pumpernickel bagel was so good too--crunchy and a beautiful crust. This is now our new bagel spot. Also! Three ships has a coffee shop there, sweet/quick service and delicious coffee. Give this place a try!! read more

Ess-a-bagel is my go-to bagel shop in NYC, so finding out it was here in Virginia Beach was very exciting! I got my usual, plain with scallion cream cheese, and it was just as wonderful as if I were in the city--minus the long lines out the door. The service is either self serve at the kiosk or at the register. We came at noon and it was mostly empty, the space itself is very bright and modern. Will definitely return! read more

Efficient service and staff were friendly and helpful, I had a delicious NY style everything bagel and scallion cream cheese. I got it to go from the kiosk and the only option was to get cream cheese on the side as opposed to on the bagel but it was great! read more

I've lived here for almost 11 years and I have not been able to find a bagel close enough that tastes like home. I've been hearing great things about Baker's Crust Bagel for a bit since they opened, and have heard how it tastes like an authentic New York bagel so I had to give them a try. When you walk in, there's cute bagel art and photos of the NY Skyline (which i love to see). The spot itself is super spacious. They have plenty of tables if you are sticking around to enjoy your breakfast, or a pick-up area if you chose to order ahead. You're greeted by big tablets where you order your food and drink from. They have everything from breakfast sandwiches, to acai bowls and a coffee bar. I ordered an everything bagel lightly toasted with plain cream cheese and an iced latte with vanilla syrup and almond milk. It took about 5 minutes for them to make, with a large crowd in front of me, so no complaints! With New York bagels being 10/10, I'd rate this spot a 8/10. Definitely the closest I've had to a NY bagel and I now know where I'll be coming when I'm in the mood for one! The coffee was also super tasty. They had a ton of different speciality flavors, but I always pick my go-to. I look forward to coming back and trying something new! read more

We've now visited three times and have had great experiences every time. One visit we dined in and the other two were takeout. Their pastrami is next level. Incredible. I don't think I'll ever be able to come here again without getting it. It's sliced fresh to order, served thick, warm and nicely fatty. Just get it. Also loved the lox bagel. I got mine open-faced and added capers. If you're gluten free, this is the place to go. A few GF bagel options and a separate toaster! We also loved the NYC Hot Chocolate and the maple bacon cream cheese. The few things that didn't quite hit the amazing mark for us was really just the açaí bowl. They do bagels and they do them well - stick with those! read more

it's hard to find quality bagels outside of New York but this is a close local favorite!! quality thick bagels and friendly service. my first time trying pastrami, they had some freshly made and cut right in front of me! and it's amazing here!! I accidentally gave them the wrong order (my own mistake) and they were SO quick to offer me a replacement bagel which was outside the realm of their service. 10/10 would recommend, delicious! read more

Great location, the vibe is amazing!!! There is plenty of room for parking out front and it's in the shopping center on the other side of Bakers Crust. When you come in, it feels like you are kind of "forced" to order through the provided kiosks but they offer in person ordering in the coffee bar in the back (Yeah!!! They have an independent coffee bar!). I ordered a Whole Wheat Everything Bagel with Avocado and Roasted Garlic spread and my wife got a sandwich. It was $6 for the bagel and schmear and $14 for the sandwich. Feels a little steep, but the area is that kind. Overall, wasn't SUPER impressed with the Avocado and Roasted Garlic spread, had the hue of avocado, but the garlic was very understated. The bagel itself was great, and my wife DESTROYED her sandwich. I gave it 4 stars-because I will have to try it again. read more

I visited Baker's Crust Bagel when I heard they have Ess A Bagels from Ny! I was so excited and was not disappointed. Im not a huge fan of having to order at an iPad over a person at the register which I will lean towards doing the next time I go. I got a pumpernickel everything bagel with egg salad and their pasta salad on the side. I loved my whole meal. I liked the pasta salad but I think it should more clearly say that there is ham in it cause that was a bit of a surprise. I ate at the restaurant and found it to be pretty relaxing and chill. The people who made my food were friendly and were great at accommodating for the 2 gluten free bagels I brought home to my sister. I'll be coming back! read more

The "baked fresh each day" cinnamon roll was stale. It was hard, could not cut into it. The toast was stale, cold bacon, and the biscuit was hard and old. It was like a hotel continental breakfast. Very disappointed. Told our server about the old $10 cinnamon roll and I asked him to tell someone and heard nothing back. read more

Bought 2 plain bagels, 2 poppy seed bagels, a tub of plain and a tub of maple bacon cream cheese to go this morning. Prices were on par with other bagel shops, the maple bacon cream cheese was 10 stars!! But, after getting home my 2 plain bagels were raw on the side, so I tossed them - So disappointed! read more

Easily the best gluten free bagel I've ever had. Not super chewy or overly dry and more than enough cream cheese

I went a few days after the grand opening. I ordered via the screens so did not interact with the staff except for who I believe to be the manager and he was fantastic. I ordered the hangry eggs bagel sandwich but was disappointed it wasn't spicier (it's with jalapeño cream cheese). It wasn't spicy at all. The bagel itself was okay, a little dry. My mom ordered the Bennett açaí bowl and it was delicious! I highly recommend. read more

I can't speak for the main food, because I ended up stopping by to grab a couple bagels before a half marathon at the beach. I just tried the plain bagel and it is sooooooo good. I had to immediately come here and write a review. I love Ess-a-Bagel in NYC and this brings me right there. Perfect consistency and taste! I'm so excited for my blueberry one tomorrow AM!! I will definitely be back to get a classic breakfast sammie. Maybe I'll grab a few more on the way home ;) read more

Easily the best bagels in VB and taste just like the original in NYC. The service was quick and friendly and I even got a fabulous latte with my bagel. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Is it the best bagels in VB? Maybe if they get your order right. Is it slow and disorganized while 2 employees make bagels and 5 employees watch them? Definitely. Take your employees to the real Essa Bagel in NYC and let them see how a real bagel shop works. You are partnering with them on bagels great. Now get 1/10th of their speed and efficiency and you'll be good. I left after 20 min of waiting. With less than 10 orders completed in that 20 min. I've literally been down the block in line at Essa Bagel and been served and out the door before these clowns can make a bagel and cream cheese. Oh and I loved how the manager or something came out halfway through, looked at how slow they were moving, and then disappeared back inside without helping at all. read more

I am currently here. Real time review. It's 11:46 am. An employee takes your order and gets your name. You pay and sit and wait. I got the NYC BLTA on an everything toasted bagel. I had a special request which they accommodated. I wanted my bagel inside out. No one but the employee that took my order was wearing masks.....not that I care, just an observation. There is plenty of parking and it is near Cobalt Grill. I got my food at 11:51. The bagel was barely toasted.....it was more warmed up. If you like it toasted like I do make sure to ask for it. There is a grab and go area with pickles and meats and salads. Sadly they don't sell pickles individually....I would have tried one. It's very casual....your food comes in a bag so if you sit and eat your bag is your plate. Self serve drinks. It's very clean and bright. They also have a kiosk to order. Looks like there is a coffee bar in the back with some "bar" seating. My bagel was good. Some things are pricy but everything is today....but maybe a bit more pricy than other bagel shops in the area. I would go back. I would like to try a morning trip. FYI....definitely all very self serve. You get your food when they call your name, get your drink and throw out your own trash. Please throw out your trash. read more

I'm so happy to have found a place that has gluten free bagel sandwiches! My husband said it was the best GF bagel he's had. The only reason I can't give five stars is the price... we got two bagel breakfast sandwiches ($3.50 extra charge for gluten free) and two small cold brews and it was $50 after tip which to me is very steep... but we enjoyed the food and I'm sure we'll be back. read more

My girlfriend and i stopped in today as we were leaving the shopping center. We had never seen this place before so we decided to give it a try. The place was very clean and had nice christmas music! We ordered a signature favorite on an everything bagel, a holiday bagel with plain cream cheese and a few coffees. The lady that took our order was very nice. I believe her name was Jenna. We will definitely be stopping by here again! read more

The bagels are good and the plain cream cheese... Delicious I went there when they first opened and I've been back a few times read more

Leaving a review because it seems like a lot of the other reviewers have never heard of a real bagel shop. You go in, you order a bagel to your likings and you get it in a bag, as you should. Simple, fast and good. We didn't have any good bagel shops in VB until now- I mean it. The food is delicious and the bagel itself was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Going to be a regular spot for me and my fiancé. Everyone who says anything differently is too picky and wants to be catered to at all times. That's not what bagels shops are for haha. Also! My best friend is celiac and is so happy with these gluten free bagels! You don't find them often. read more

When they 1st opened up I contemplated ordering a bagel for myself. I'm glad that I hadn't. I waited for kiddo to finish up with classes, be home for Thanksgiving then we would split an Everything bagel. As we ordered, I was taking with one of the employees. It turns out the bagels themselves are made and partially baked in New York, then finished off here. Their cream cheese is made on site. And boy, do they love to add lots of cream cheese to the bagel! Don't get me wrong, I love cream cheese, I was just teasing the staff about the cheese overload. Sort of, kind of, in a small way. I will definitely go back, I will just have to have them not be so heavy handed with the cream cheese. Oh! BTW, I ordered the veggie cream cheese and they were generous on the veggies that was mixed in it. read more

The bagels are so expensive and to add cream cheese it's 3 50 and when the coffee arrived it was so cold they tried to warm it twice but it STILL COLD!! the service was really nice though they should work for someone with BETTER COFFEE!!! P.S the coffee tasted like raspberry for some reason read more

you wait a long time for your food and the bagel is often barely toasted. Cute place great location but needs better service. Things are out of stock fairly often just not consistent enough for me. read more

If zero was an option I think that is where we would be. I watched several customers get up and leave due to the wait after ordering. I think if they hadn't I'd still be waiting. I ordered a bagel and cream cheese, something pretty quick, at 12:10. I received my order at 12:57. I don't think there is anyone here who knows how to manage food service at a fast paced restaurant. The worst part is that it wasn't like every table was full or a line in the building. Disappointing read more

Ambiance and environment inside the shop is definitely fantastic, very cute and approachable inside. The coffee I got was fantastic, very balanced and tasted great - I have always liked three ships though it is on the expensive end (and is worth the price to a certain extent). Bagel wise, nahhhh. Very mediocre, dry, OVERPRICED and I have had better store bought bagels before. Service was interesting, the employees seemed VERY overwhelmed - which I will give grace where grace is due since the store just opened. read more
