We came around 11 am on a Friday and had to line up for about 10 minutes. Their bagels are reasonably priced using fresh ingredients. You can customize a variety of sandwiches depending on your taste. We enjoyed every sandwich we ordered - roasted beef, turkey, lox. Their coffee is also not bad. This is a must stop place when in Charlottesville. read more

Didn't have time to picture my food, this place is busyyyyyyy. Which says a lot when a line outs out the fit while it's raining. The bagels are chewy and fresh, a great density, and fast service. The pricing is extremely reasonable, staff is great! When I'm the area, would definitely stop here! A part of 2, we ate for 10 bucks and are stuffed!! read more

I spent the week in Charlottesville as a getaway from Washington, DC, and perhaps the number one recommendation I got from friends was to get bagels at Bodo's. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. I got my usual: Bagel & Lox and my first impression was the sheer amount of schmear stuffed into my bagel- I was really impressed I think here they outdo most NYC shops! With so much cream cheese you might be concerned but it was a nice light spread that wasn't too salty so it complemented the bagel well. Whether it's 9 AM, 12 noon, or hell 6 PM you will be happy with a bagel from this local chain that has big local appeal. read more

I love bodo's!! The lines moves super quickly and service is top notch. There is a decent amount of seating and parking at this location. And of course the bagels are phenomenal!! read more

Don't be discouraged by the long lines; wait, it's worth it. Prefect place for a late brunch styled fix before a long hiking trip; the bagels are filling and healthy. Just a walk away from the Omni C'ville and order extra for pool time later! read more

A local favorite in Charlottesville, as I've come to learn, Bodo's Bagels did not disappoint. I ordered the lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel, which just hit the spot. It had just the right amount of lox and cream cheese ratio (and not too much lox, which I find a fault with certain bagel places I've eaten at). The sausage, egg, and cheese bagel is also quite good. You can tell from the huge line at the drive-thru that this is a fan favorite. But no need to feel overwhelmed by a wait- they had efficient service, with two drive-thru lines and two people taking orders outside and relaying it to the cooks. read more

It was fine . My son was hungry and we happened upon this place. He wanted a bagel with cream (they don't toast the bagels but they are fresh!) and I got a small cup of stuffed peppers soup. Both were good and did the trick. They close at 3:00 pm on Sundays so we just made it under the wire! So the hot bagel made my son a very happy boy! read more

One of my favorites! Great bagels And service. Classic bagel shop. Would Recommend anytime. 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

I have generally favorable reviews on bagel places across the board, but there is something special about Bodo's. My friend recommended me this as a cult favorite, and I can see why. The bagels come out warm and fluffy but with a slight amount of crunch (which every bagel place should do, but you'd be surprised at the amount of places that DON'T toast the bagel.) I got the deli egg bagel, which is like a meat/cheese mini omelet on sesame. So heart but not too heavy! We also got the BLT, which got a little messy due to the Mayo but ingredients were super fresh. The bagels were so cheap, and with bagel-wich prices around $3-5, I would definitely come back. PS, multiple locations with parking, service is fast and ordering is not confusing at all. read more

We're visiting Charlottesville for the first time and stopped by Bodo's this afternoon right before they closed. I got a sandwich on an onion bagel and a garlic bagel with cream cheese and they were absolutely delicious. Cheap and amazing bagels - what more could you ask for! read more

What is there to really say about Bodo's? It's an institution, it's a go-to, it's just...Bodos! Maybe the most helpful review would be to write about some of our usual orders. I love lox with jalapeno cream cheese (my favorite cream cheese from here) with some sprouts on top for freshness on an onion bagel. Actually, adding sprouts to anything just brings a pop of freshness and cuts some of the more rich bagels. I arrived in Cville back when it was only drive-thru but have since been back to check out the interior. It's kind of hard to describe but there is a very warm, cozy, and nostalgic vibe to it (even though I didn't grow up in Cville!) I thought they did a great job with the drive-thru and I've loved the service inside as well. Bodos instantly makes any day better, one bagel at a time. read more

Very, very good. THE BEST BAGELS!! I don't know anyone who doesn't like this place. IT IS SO GOOD!! Quality never disappoints, and all three locations are VERY consistent with how their bagels turn out.

Bodos is great and so cheap! This location is quick moving and clean. Seating is great too.

Tell me where else you can get a delicious bagel loaded with fresh strawberry cream cheese for under $4. You can't! This was so delicious. I see why the locals say this is a must have. Best bagel I've had outside of NY. read more

I see why this is such a hot spot in C-ville. Had an excellent bagel recently that did not disappoint! The cream cheese is the real star here, and make sure to get their coffee as it's incredibly good. All in all, an inexpensive place to get your bagel fix. read more

Bodo's is a Charlottesville classic. Don't be fooled by the line, you'll be in and out in just a few minutes with your delicious bagel sandwich in hand. Their bagels are fresh and delicious, whether you're enjoying them with cream cheese or as a sandwich. I'm partial to their breakfast sandwiches and usually order a bacon, egg, and cheese. My recent go-to has been herb cream cheese, egg, and sprouts on a salt bagel. A bag of Bodo's bagels and cream cheese is an easy crowd pleaser when you have company or are visiting someone. read more

Bodo's Bagels - Whole wheat bagel with bacon, egg and cheese - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This place is really 3.5 stars but I haven't had a bagel sandwich in over a year I felt generous. I had the bagel egg, bacon, and cheese on everything, while hubby had the same except with sausage. So the bagel was not buttered or toasted hence the 3.5 rating. The eggs and bacon (microwave) weren't hot so that definitely contributes to slight disappointment. I'm a northeast girl so I know my bagel setup and this place has potential they just need to step up. The place was crazy busy but the staff moved pretty efficiently which is necessary. read more

The best bagels in town - high quality with great price and friendly service. highly recommended!

It doesn't look like much; the building could easily be some repurposed chain restaurant, and there was a substantial spill of some sort of food and overall not the best environment to eat in. The bagel I tried was as good as I'd hoped though; it wasn't toasted, which I guess I didn't think to ask for, but it still possessed an excellent contrast of texture and was very soft on the inside, with just the right hint of sourness. I got the whole wheat, which was hearty but not too much so; every now and then these things can taste like wheat bran but this one was a legit bagel. I added a fig-based spread as that seemed like the local thing to do. It was quite tasty. I was impressed with the options available; I could easily have ordered differently and I stared at the menu for a while without even noticing that they had hummus as well as the option for a vegan "No Bull" burger. So often, vegetarian breakfast means either eggs or pure carbs, so I was impressed by the range of choices. I would definitely be in here regularly if I was local. read more

Wow these bagel sandwiches are life giving. The place is packed on the weekends because everyone and their mother wants one of these sandwiches to start their day off right.

Bodo's is the best! We had breakfast there while in the city to visit Monticello and it was so good! We went at about 8 and there was no line. We had no clue what we were doing but the cashier was very nice and explained everything. The bagels smelled so good and I could see that the chefs were having fun while they were getting orders ready. I got an everything bagel with sausage egg and American cheese. It was practically heaven! I normally only get bagel sandwiches when I go to Dunkin' and this was a million times better. The egg actually tasted like an egg and the sausage was juicy and not too spicy. I'm glad we got there when we did because by 8:30 there was a continuous line of about 10-15 people. The only problem I had was my own fault. I sat next to a vent and I was frozen by the time I finished my bagel! I will be searching for a Bodo's near me! read more

There's really not much else to say except for this is probably the best bagel place in the area, I grew up in New York and New Jersey and this place is spot on! The bagel sandwiches are also excellent! I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Highly recommend coming here. Fast paced, efficient, friendly staff, & good bagel sandwiches! I was full after eating my sandwich and it tasted so good. I got an everything bagel with bacon, egg, & cheese, & you could taste all the flavors which was so nice. The place can be a little hectic inside, but don't let that stop you from trying this place out. It's worth it and they know how to get their lines down fast while also giving great customer service read more

Delish. So good, long lines every day we went but line moved quickly and bagels were too good. Came twice during our trip and it hit the spot both times. Super friendly, always available seating, super cheap pricing. 100% recommend! read more

Best. Bagels. Ever. Bodo's Bagels simply has the best bagels out of anywhere I have ever been. I visited Charlottesville and went here both mornings for breakfast I liked them so much! Line can be long, but it moves very quickly, don't let it scare you away! These are a must try! The cream cheese is amazing and so is the avocado spread. Definitely hope I can go back someday! read more

Every time we come to Charlottesville this is one of our "must" stops. I think that the Covid vaccine lines would be lessened if the organizers took a lesson from Bodo's and their ability to Process long lines very quickly! There are 2 Different Dtive Throughs at this location that get you in and out rather quickly. Of course there's always those people who ignore signs and queue up past where allowed almost causing accidents at the traffic light. A nice young man from Bodo's politely lets them know to circle the block or go to the other drive-through. Always THE BEST and the quality is outstanding. Our only regret is they're not in Old Town Alexandria. read more

Bagels were good. As close as you can get to NY bagels. What I really enjoyed was their cream cheese! The variety and flavors are awesome! Salmon flavored cream cheese was delicious and they are not cheap about slapping it on the bagel for you. I also had the feta cream cheese which was uniquely yummy. Bagels are good but cream cheese here is magnificent. read more

Every website lists Bodo's Bagels as a place you must visit while in Charlottesville. As someone from New York, I was pretty skeptical about how good these bagels actually could be. I arrived at 10am on Saturday morning and there was a line out the door. Don't let that deter you though, because within 10 minutes I was able to make my way to the front and order, and just 5 minutes later my bagel sandwich was ready. They don't have a huge selection of bagels, but they have the classics and they make them well. The list of spreads and things you can put on your bagel is much larger, and everything is so reasonably priced. I enjoyed my bagel and it definitely had the flavor and texture of a New York bagel, without making me feel like I needed a nap after (which NY bagels always do). There's lots of indoor seating at this location, as well as a drive through. Will definitely be back! read more

We like the bagels very much but have been disappointed in the sandwiches. Service is always great. read more

I think about this place a lot. We always get multiple dozens of these bagels to take home. You really can't go wrong with anything here. They are currently doing two drive through lines that love fast. At no point do they even offer you a menu, but everyone knows what they want. For breakfast, we got a sausage egg and cheese and a PB&J. Their lunch sandwiches are incredible as well. We usuallly go with pastrami or chicken salad (made with turkey) Prices are unbeatable. There's a reason why there's a line out the door at any hour or any day. read more

Don't let the line scare you! They have the efficiency down to a science. Great coffee. Great bagels. I love the chopped liver from them! Just yummmm read more

There's a good reason Bodo's always has a line out the door. All three locations are always busy; it can seem nearly impossible to get in the parking lot. Don't let that deter you. They move FAST. The bagels are made fresh in-house every day. They boil them before they're baked in true NY fashion. If you're from NY or you've had those delicious NY-style bagels, here's where you can locally satisfy that craving. Did I mention all the spreads/toppings/fillings available?! AND that the prices are unbeatable?! This is my favorite place to stop before a road trip. I grab two bagel sandwiches for the car ride and all is right with the world. read more

We love really keeps coming back is the service read more

Breakfast on a week day, I stopped in to Bodo's. A brief queue but they were definitely getting orders filled swiftly. My New York style "everything" bagel was excellent. Good chewy quality and plenty of seeds on top. The lox? Well, it was a little meh. Nothing special there. On the other hand, the "herb" cream cheese was great. Very, very green and lots of bits of fresh herbs stuck in my teeth. lol No wifi that I was able to connect to. read more

OK, how could you not give photos bagels five stars? All of their locations are always great and it's one of the 100 things to do while UVA undergrad to get the number one ticket. I wish photos would've kept their drive-through open like they had in Covid time. However they've decided to go back to in-store service only. There is nothing on the menu that isn't fantastic! read more
