I am a bagel snob from the Northeast,and all I can say about this place is WOW! Bagels are well-made and perfect texture (a little crunch on the outside/soft and doughy inside). I had an egg and bacon sandwich on a salt bagel. It was delicious and less than $5! I was only visiting for the weekend. Otherwise, I'd probably grab breakfast here every day read more

Bodo's Bagels - Egg and bacon on a salt bagel - amazing! - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This place is basic and offers tasty bagels and (mostly) yummy bagel sandwiches. Be aware that you are asked to assemble your sandwich ingredient by ingredient, so step back and figure that out before you step up to order. I had a corned beef bagelwich and it was delicious! Top quality meat, no fat and more importantly no gristle. My partner ordered the Tofu which was a mistake- big mistake. This is a thick plank of uncooked, unflavored tofu. So unfortunate, given that mine was sooooo yummy! Bodo, do you hate your vegan customers? You could have had marinated cooked tofu, or made a tofu "egg salad", but damn! Also, something else to be aware of is that there are NO refills on anything except water or tea. I asked the friendly gal at the counter if the drinks were fountain drinks and she said yes, so I assumed that meant a self-service fountain. Nope. Ok, you live and learn. Definitely would return here, although my SO might squawk. read more

The most prominent bagelry in Charlottesville has a retro vibe, but some forward-thinking options. Notably, they offer numerous vegetarian components for building a bagel sandwich, including a NoBull pattie (a local lentil-based veggie burger that is really the only one I buy for myself at home), locally made tofu, and numerous spreads and toppings. I wasn't convinced that getting watercress was really worth it for the amount that I got, but my sandwich was fresh and tasty, if a little messy. Another intriguing newfangled option is the house seltzers. Mine with a light tangerine flavor was enjoyable, and I wouldn't have ordered a high-calorie beverage. And I got out of there under ten bucks after leaving a tip, which as I write is two gallons of gas. And of course the bagels themselves are pretty good too. read more

Unpopular opinion but I thought my bagel sandwich was mediocre. It wasn't bad but didn't blow me away. However I was impressed with how efficiently they run things. We came at 10:30 on a Saturday morning and it was slammed but everything moved swiftly. read more

Obsessed!! I've been going here since I was 12. Scrumptious bagels, sandwiches, salads(esp. the potato salad), drinks, etc. Just everything. No bagel place will ever beat Bodo's Bagels IMO. Service is always great rain or shine, the employees are consistently kind and efficient, and the vibes are on point. My only complaint is that I won't be able to enjoy Bodo's when I move back to Arizona :'( read more

We are visiting from PA and OMG I have been looking for bagels that truly are New York style, and this is it!!!!! The bagels are crunchy on the outside while being chewy and airy on the inside!!! AMAZING!!! The service was quick and friendly! The shop is clean and nice I also love the bagel shaped door handles! We will definitely be back! read more

When there's a line out the door 5 minutes after opening, you know that you're in for something special. After receiving two recommendations to come here, I am thrilled I did. Superb bagels at an affordable price point. There's really not much else you can ask. The service was prompt and friendly. Plenty of indoor seating. Most people ordering were taking it to go. I had an everything bagel with egg salad and coffee. The coffee was solid and exceeded my expectations. It wasn't burnt and is worth ordering if you want your caffeine fix. I'm not a bagel expert, but this bagel was outstanding. Nice amount of seasoning and fluffy and airy with a nice bite to it. The egg salad was prepared and seasoned. well. If I'm ever in VA again I'll definitely be returning! read more

Line seemed long but it moved. Service was ok. Not-so-friendly but ok. They are too busy to make the line move. Everything bagel was pretty good. But the cream cheese was a bit salty in my opinion. Coffee was good! Didn't like the corn too much. Pickle was refreshing! Pumpkin soup was good. If you are around the area, it is worth it to give it a try. read more

I am such a sucker for a good bagel and Bodo's is the real deal!!! If you go on a weekend, there WILL be a line out the door but it moves freaky fast. The workers know what they're doing when it comes to serving people bagels. My go- to order is always an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and Bodo's is a 10/10 for sure. The parking lot is kind of small but there's lots of seating inside. Everyone was friendly and everything was clean! 5 stars all around!!! read more

Nice local bagel place right next to UVA. Fresh bagels, lots of options, and good service. Went with plain bagel with lox and cream cheese. Was told the everything bagel was really good and chewy read more

Bodo's Blogels. One of the one and only Bagel Shops and chains in C-ville. I may have been spoiled with the bagel shop variety in NYC, but when everyone hyped this placed up as a solid bagel place in Charlottesville, I know I had to try. After my first visit, I have been back ever since. I love their herbs cream cheese and jalapeno cream cheese which all pair well with the everything bagel. Lines on weekends and mornings before football and baskeball game days are out the door and into the street. I woudl recommend coming here in the off hours. I have also trieed their BEC-als (Bacon Egg and Cheese Bagels) which are pretty solid. While reasonably affordable, they do lack the size and quality you can get in NYC. NOTE THEY DO NOT TOAST BAGELS. Overall, a very very solid 4.5 stars. read more

All I have to say about Bodo's Bagels is YUM! It's one of my favorite bagel spots. I always make a point to stop here whenever I am in Charlottesville because I crave these homemade bagels. My boyfriend and I love them so much, we usually eat two when we pick up, and get some extra to eat later in the week or the next day! I love that there are so many bagel choices, cream cheese spreads, bagel toppings, and sandwich combinations that you can make on your bagels. I always get the lime and jalapeño cream cheese spread - it's my favorite cream cheese at Bodo's. It's so flavorful and not that spicy if you can't handle too much heat. They also make a phenomenal everything bagel and garlic bagel. Those are my top bagel choices and they are yummy as breakfast sandwiches with egg and cheese, or with cream cheese. I also love that they have so many cheese choices - because most places simply have just cheddar cheese or American cheese. But they have different choices such as Muenster, which is what my boyfriend got on his breakfast sandwich! Lastly, this spot is very affordable. I got two coffees, two flavored bagels with no cream cheese, two flavored bagels with cream cheese, and four sandwiches / breakfast sandwiches, for roughly $40? So it's very fairly priced and for the amount of food I got, Bodo's is totally worth it! read more

Bodo's Bagels - Garlic bagel with lime and jalapeño cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I love this bagel place. Currently I'm at two visits which is low but, each time I visit the plan is to order something new! I ordered the egg salad sandwich on an onion bagel w/ a small lemonade. Very tasty and a hearty helping! The egg salad was oozing from the middle . Their lemonade is made in house from concentrate .. which well, isn't fresh (duh) but it was so sweet and tart. Can't wait to visit again. read more

About to fly home with a dozen of these in my carryon and it's not the first time! Having been raised on Bodo's bagels, I've never found a bagel elsewhere that can hold muster. If you were raised on toasted bagels in New York City, this won't be exactly the same as what you're used to, but treat it as it's own bagel category and you will not be disappointed. The bagels are impressively cheap, always fresh and perfectly chewy. If you're looking for an order recommendation, my go to is cinnamon raisin with ham and cream cheese, but really you can't go wrong. Also, don't be intimidated by the long lines - they move quickly! read more

Bodo's Bagels - Cinnamon - Raisin with Ham and Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I'm no stranger to Bodo's. It's practically a Charlottesville tradition. They have good and decently priced bagels. They aren't the best bagels I've ever had but they get the job done. Notably, their bagels are softer and don't have as sharp of a taste as my favorite places in NYC and DC. My go-to bagel order whenever I eat bagel sandwiches is an Everything with Lox and Cream Cheese. Bodo's take on this classic order is admittedly not the best I've ever had-- the Everything bagel is average, and the lox is usually not the best or freshest cut of salmon. Bodo's Everything with Sausage, Egg, and Cheddar is also decent but not the best I've ever had. It gets the job done but feels like it's missing a sauce or honey to tie it all together and make it amazing. I love Bodo's Jalapeño Lime Cream Cheese. It's so good I could eat it out of a bowl. I definitely recommend trying it if you are looking for a new cream cheese flavor. Getting one of their bagels with this spread is my go-to when I'm not feeling like a bagel sandwich. Overall, the bagels at Bodo's aren't the best I've ever had but they get the job done for a good price. The bagels don't have the sharp flavor and perfect contrast between hard on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside that my favorite bagel places in NYC and DC have. I recommend trying their Jalapeño Lime Cream Cheese if you're looking for a tasty spread. read more

I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. Not enough cream cheese and the bagel was super small. It also tasted like it was next to garlic or onion bagels. So, I'd say it could definitely have been better. read more

Really fresh, tasty bagels. I got the tofu sandwich and added pepper spread. My sister got the avocado and egg sandwich. In the future we'll ask for more spice but overall enjoyed it. It was also very busy on a Friday at 1 pm so this seems to be a go to spot in Charlottesville. read more

Food was incredible. They make bagels fresh all day so they are soft and warm when they get to you. Boyfriend who is from NY says they are the closest he has had to NYC bagels. Had a turkey sandwich on a bagel and it was so good. Line can be long but the line moves quickly. Service is good and fast. read more

Absolutely delicious, one of the top CVille spots. If you're visiting then Bodos is a must. Cheap and high quality bagels and quick service. No matter how long the line outside is you can be sure to get in and out quickly . You can dine in but takeout is more popular. The atmosphere is low key yet efficient. My family and I love Bodos! read more

A trip to Bodo's always makes my day! Whether I get my go-to order or try one of their many cream cheese flavors, I'm always impressed. They are consistent and efficient, even when the line is out the door. I have an egg allergy and have always felt comfortable eating their bagels, all of which are egg-free. read more

Not the best, come to Chewy's in Richmond and have that blow your mind. Service is good and the line is efficient Harbor ultimately the bagels, while baked fresh certainly be better lack of a crust and soft inside with no chew . read more

This place is a local C'ville favorite. You can not, not stop and try. Don't be swayed away by the long lines on the weekend, they move extremely fast. It's extremely affordable and just what you need. In fact, I can normally only finish half of my bagel sandwich. Just take a deep breath, prepare for lines, it will all be good in the end. Trust me. read more

It's a smooth process with double lane drive thru! Keeping a lot of measures with covid in mind. I was really impressed. I was recommended this place for its authentic bagels, and they sure were tasty. I went all out with everything bagel and salmon. Very filling at a very affordable price. I would say that they put a lot of cream cheese on there... So you might want to get a knife so you can scrape some of it off if you're not cream cheese fanatic. I also had their flavored seltzer, which they make in house. I'm a fan of the creativity and all the flavors. Looks like they have three locations around town so check one of them out! Cheers! read more

Bodo's makes bagels well. Yes. It would be nice to see them larger (the last time I had an everything bagel it just seemed kind of small). I guess folks are accustomed to whipped cream cheese. But when you get a bagel in NYC you get this fat ass bagel and a slab of good ol cream cheese. The problem with a toasted bagel and a little bit of whipped CC is it smooshes out the side. It's a mess. Anyways, they make good bagels. But I miss a real NYC bagel. read more

The bagels were worth the wait! The staff was super efficient and the line moved pretty quick.

Bodo's has consistently great bagels in a variety of flavors. I like the Everything seeded bagel with pastrami. & Swiss and my wife likes the sesame bagel with egg salad. Both are great values. Less than a Big Mac and much better for you! Enjoy! read more

was told that if in Charlottesville I had to go to Bono's. So I'm not a bagel person and the best I've had from NYC so that is my comparison. I had on an everything and it was just as good as being in the Big Apple. Fresh bagel at 4pm is a plus. The pastrami was really good and I can say I see why at closing there was a line of people waiting to get in. read more

Love,love Bodos bagels! A Charlottesville Classic!! I love the BLT from here-order it on a sesame bagel with mayo-perfection! My other favorite is cinnamon bagel with honey pecan cream cheese! Or wait! Maybe an everything bagel with plain cream cheese! They also have "deli egg" which is scrambled eggs with bits of cheese ham and sausage mixed in-this is excellent on an everything bagel! You really can't make a mistake coming here! The salads are fresh and awesome as well! They also make really good homemade soups here! read more

Bodo's Bagels is one of my ALL TIME favorite bagel joints. Again biased with nostalgia, but Bodo's has objectively been my go to spot to quench my food cravings since 2015! Bodo's makes fresh water bagels every single day, giving NYC & NJ bagels a serious run for their money. The soft and flavorful bagels taste consistently amazing and fresh upon every single visit. Everything from fermentation of the bagel itself to to the countless toppings, Bodo's always tastes amazing. Regardless of ordering a bagel sandwich or a classic bagel with cream cheese, Bodo's does not disappoint. The cream cheeses (CC) are also to die for! They have countless flavors and each are whipped to be extremely fluffy and light. All of their fresh ingredients come together to create the most memorable experience wanting you to go back for more. Everything is also set at an excellent price point! If you're ever in Charlottesville, VA, Bodo's Bagels is a MUST VISIT! My favorites include: the everything bagel, jalapeño lime cream cheese (never have had anything like it before), and the pepper spread. My go-to order which I and many of my peers have HIGHLY RECOMMENDED is: "an everything bagel w jalapeño lime cream cheese, Swiss or provolone cheese, an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, sprouts, and pepper spread on the side." Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed! read more

The veggie cream cheese is great!! Service is quick for how busy they are. Coffee is fine but the bagels are what we come for!

Bodo's is always tasty with fair prices. A $1.05 for just a bagel. The cream cheese is around a couple bucks. The line was out the door, a testament to the quality of the location, but the staff works at a hastened pace so the customers never wait long. The store had plenty of seating, but most people take their orders to go. The booths aren't cushioned but I did not mind. The seating area is plain and standard but that's all it needs because the bagels are the real show stealer. The bagel was perfect, a little spongy but hot with flavorful, generous cream cheese. Would recommend for this venue for the best bagels around. read more

Just a good bagel place with everything you could possibly need to be happy! Stopped by on my way through after a hike and carb loaded with a Turkey bagel with cheese, bacon, lettuce, and sprouts.

Simply awesome! We ordered a bunch of bagels and sandwiches which were enjoyed by everyone in our party of 6. I especially enjoyed my sausage, egg & cheese. Will definitely be back next time we're in Cville. Thanks for the reco, JL! read more

On our Way back from our July 4 holiday in Lynchburg, required stop was here at Bodo's. First time for a lunch sandwich, as we have always enjoyed their breakfast bagels before. So many choices! Cheese & avocado smear and an everything bagel for me. Fiancé loves the Everything Bagel & ordered pastrami, Swiss & mustard. Their precision efficiency should be the gold standard at every retail establishment; they are incredible! So affordable and always leave with a full belly & a huge smile. How can you not LOVE Bodo's!! Lastly...whoever gave them 1 star because they couldn't sit down inside & required to wear a mask...some people should just stay home. Mean people are not welcome. read more
