Bodo's came highly recommended and my friends I visited twice while in town. Unfortunately, our second visit was very disappointing. We saw one of the workers changing the ceiling tiles over the food. Dust was visibly falling over the food. We told multiple staff, it wasn't sanitary but none of them seemed concerned or stopped handling the tiles over the food. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Charlottesville! The prices are extremely fair, and the service is very quick. The bagels are by far and away the best bagels I have had in Virginia. I typically order the onion bagel with herb cream cheese, and it is a perfect combo! I also sometimes get a Pastrami sandwich on the onion bagel with tomato, onion, mustard, lettuce, and feta spread (costs extra), and it is solid. There are a ton of other bagel and cream cheese combos you can order, along with breakfast bagel sandwiches, salads, and other items. The restaurant has a good amount of seating, and it is a great place to pick up from as well. This is definitely a place you should go to if you are in the Charlottesville area! read more

Award winning bagelry with awesome sandwiches. Always fresh bagels made throughout the day, organized ordering process, super quick service, and clean tables. Their premium coffee (custom blended and roasted) is terrific, too! I had an Everything Bagel with bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese. My father had a Plain Bagel with sausage and egg. Both sandwiches were fresh and satisfying. Outstanding place for good eats... and the people are fantastic. Not much else for me to say.... this is a must place to go! read more

Anytime we drive through Charlottesville we stop for bagels at Bogo's. They are outstanding and the staff is always friendly.

One of the best breakfasts in the world. Cheap, fast, delicious, with variety. No wonder this is always a staple for UVA students. This truly is the best $5 breakfast a person can have. Service is also very quick - even in a long line it moves fast read more

Bodo's Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The bagel standard for Charlottesville always always good stuff. The lines are long but worth it and they move relatively quickly.

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

Food staple of UVA. Reasonable prices on fresh made bagels and made to order sandwiches (on bagels) with fresh ingredients; gotta love alfalfa sprouts, am I right? We were so hungry, didn't have a chance to snag more pics. Bagged plain Lays chips and house-made red potato salad. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pay to park lot in rear. read more

Right across from the UVA Campus you have some stellar bagels that are cooked a bit differently than your typical bagel. The bagels' here are boiled. What this means is they are fresh as can be however they are not hard to chew. This works beautifully for breakfast sandwiches as you layer in eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat the altitude of the bagel sandwich crows in height and diameter. I went with the everything bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese. What I noticed about their everything bagel is it has some salt on it, not the salt I am talking about from any bagel as all bagels obviously have some salt in them, but salt layered on the top of the bagel representing the rarely ordered salt bagel. At initial bite I was not sure how to react as I said to myself, "Hmm....me thinks me taste salt on me bagel." After finishing the bagel and coming back for another order of the same sandwich during the week long stay I had in VA, I was a raving fan and feel the need to get the word out to those who have not had the experience of a Bodo Bagel. This is a must go to bagel spot for the bagel aficionado. As always people SYOY!!! read more

Really great bagels. Seriously: legit bagels. And everything else is tops also. Delicious bagel sandwiches. Fresh ingredients. Bodo's is a beloved local institution, precisely because it's so consistently, reliably great. I highly recommend it. read more

I got a Everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese. I thought the bagel was very nice, it had a great texture, but I expected it to be bigger since it was "New York style". The cream cheese needed some salt, and the yellow color was unexpected and a bit unappetizing. read more

Bodo's Bagels - Everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Located right in the UVA Corner Bodo's is a go-to whenever I'm craving bagels. There are a multitude of choices ranges from bagels, sandwiches, salads, and drinks. My favorite combo is the lox and cream cheese (replacing the cream cheese with avocado) on an everything bagel w/ sprouts and tomato. I brought my friend here since it was astonishing that she never tried it despite being a UVA student and she absolutely loved it. We shared a Cleo Salad which was delicious - love anything with honey mustard. I personally prefer the bagels in New York, but Bodo's is the epitome of Charlottesville so I have no qualms with it. read more

This place came up on so many lists for Charlottesville, but we were intimidated when we saw the extremely long line going out the door. However, we toughed it out, and were pleasantly surprised that it only took 15 minutes or so to get to the front of the line. The bagel was really great! My impression is that this was the closest you'd get to New York-style bagels in the area. Definitely understand the hype! read more

It's been year since I've had Bodo's bagels and I was blown away by how good these bagels were. This time I had to introduce the rest of my tribe to these amazing bagels and it didn't disappoint. Right across the street from UVA, plenty of indoor seating, ambiance have a really chill and relaxed vibe. My teenagers definitely felt at home in this place, so much that they went and ordered more bagels while we sat and planned out the rest of our Saturday I'd recommend this spot to anyone in the area looking to have a quick affordable bagel, along with their coffee. It's all good! read more

I don't understand the hype since moving here. The breakfast sandwiches are fine but they don't toast the bagels because they're allegedly NY Style. Having lived in NY/NJ my whole life before moving here, I can promise that you can get your bagel toasted anywhere. My guess is they don't toast bagels due to the amount of traffic they get and a desire to keep the line moving, which they always do. Despite the popularity, the staff clearly knows how to manage a crowd and provides excellent service. The wait is as quick as they can make it with the amount of traffic they get. I've never seen this place not busy. Each location is always crowded and it's not someplace you'd ever want to sit down and enjoy a meal. Too much noise. read more

Fast service, great service and good prices. This place was recommended to us and I am now recommending to others.

I got a sesame bagel with cream cheese and chicken. The workers were pretty nice, nothing to add there really. The bagel was very delicious, just a bit messy. I would definetly go here again in the future. read more

Good bagels at a reasonable cost with pretty quick service despite the long lines. Abundance of seating available despite the long lines as well. It looks like most orders are to go. They can do a better job of keeping their tables clean but otherwise, I strongly recommend this establishment. 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

How in the blazes did Charlottesville get awesome bagels? Bodo's gets it. Food comes up fast, counter service or the Emmet location has a drive through, casual atmosphere. They don't toast! Whitefish/salmon salad lacks the salty oily texture and flavor you might be used to on a deli, but it's very good. The salt bagel should be eaten immediately but the everything and others freeze nicely. read more

Some of my favorite things: the honey pecan cream cheese, the tofu (perfect texture and flavor), Jalapeño-Lime Cream Cheese, house-made Seltzers (my favorite is lemon flavor) Least favorite (not bad just don't like): Feta Spread (too salty for me), sprouts (something is off about the flavor but I might just not like sprouts!), the salt bagel (again too salty for me) read more

Anyone who went to UVA will tell you how great Bodo's is, and honestly it's not worth the hype. Having been a number of times over the past decade, I would not wait in line to get a bagel here - on weekends you can expect 30+ minutes waiting. Rounding up from 3.5 stars only because I know there really isn't any bagel competition in the area. Bagels are ok - they are fresh, but the texture and flavor is no where near a real NY bagel. They're priced reasonably. I typically go with a sausage/egg/cheese or chicken salad on an everything bagel. Good, not great, and there's better breakfast in Charlottesville (see: IVP) read more

If it ain't Bodos is it even a bagel? The best bagels on the planet. They should bring back the t shirts my only beef read more

Busy little bagel shop near the campus. I was happy that they had whole wheat everything bagels, which is something I am usually on the lookout for. The bagels were ok, the cheese they used on the bacon egg and cheese sandwich wasn't what I would pick. They also will not toast bagels even if that's your preference. The OJ was in a cup but didn't taste freshly squeezed. Overall, it was a perfectly fine breakfast to go. But nothing super special. read more

I don't love bagels, but bodos is as good as it gets for bagels. There's typically a long time at meal times but moves fast, and the service is friendly. My go to: blueberry cream cheese on sesame, or egg sausage cheese on sesame. read more

Bodas is bagel heaven period!! In the beginning it was such a tease... "The Bagels are Coming!" It was 3-then 4- then 5 and finally they were open. It's flawless... Service is so excellent I'd say it's better than Chix filet... I won't eat there for political reasons but those who do say it's great...Bodas got them beat during or out of Covid... everything he does he does really well... salads/ ice cream/ fast lovely service from very hard working special staff the place is a fine timepiece! read more

After hearing all the hype about Bodo's I came in one morning for a breakfast sandwich... I got there soon after it opened, so there was no wait and they made my food quickly. The breakfast sandwich I got, which was the "Deli Egg" sandwich on an onion bagel was really good! It was piping hot and fresh. Their other bagels are good too. read more

I'm not sure how I've never reviewed Bodo's before! I used to think that Bodo's was overrated, but I quickly changed my mind when I tried one of their egg bagel sandwiches. The Everything Bagel in particular is perfectly soft, warm, and spiced with everything you could ever want on a bagel (salt, garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds). Best of all, Bodo's makes a great budget breakfast or lunch! I've always left spending much less than expected. The crowds can get pretty crazy here when classes are in session, but they have other locations in Charlottesville as well (Preston Ave and Emmet St N) which offer parking, unlike at this location. read more

COVID19 Status: Stopped by here to get some bagels before we were leaving town. There was a long line, which moved fast and due to the pandemic, there was no seating - only to go bagels. They were already out of the Everything bagel by 11am so I got the Onion bagel with Turkey, avocado, tomato, sprouts and lettuce. I live in NYC so I can't compare them to the NY bagels but these bagel here are more on a softer side. My sister got the Chicken salad on Garlic bagel- it was average, I definitely prefer mine over hers. I wouldn't go in expecting typical NY style bagel but would recommend checking them out! read more

Bodacious Bodo's Bagels! Bagels galor. Huge line but Bodo's knows how to handle it. They line went by super quick, only thing is you can't really hear when your number is called and your order is ready! They are super fast and have a huge selection of sandwiches. We came on a Sunday and the line was almost out the door (even on the chilly morning) and we were served in under 20 minutes. Props to the team for being on top it and for still even clarifying what type of bagel you want and not rushing you. Definite recommendation is the Deli Egg Bagel on top of one of their everything or garlic bagels. Egg with chunks of meat. Mmhmm yum. The jalepeño lime cream cheese was surprising sweet but soo soo good. Little kick, lots of cream, surprising really sweet. A classic UVA tradition is to be ticket #1! Aka the first person in line. Judging by the length of the line even at 10 AM on a Sunday, good luck! I would definitely come back again. It was so yummy and wasn't too expensive. Understandably why it is a staple of UVA. read more

OH YEAHHHH BODOS IS #1. Do I have to say more? love the optionality, price, and efficiency of this place! Definitely avoid on weekend mornings if you hate long lines but still the longest i've waited is 20-30 mins (?) Im a big fan of eggs on bagels and the veggie patty as well. No longer recommend getting lettuce now that they charge 25 cents and last time I got it they gave me ONE LEAF. So would knock a star down for that but otherwise solid bagel place. Can't do better. read more

Y'all I love this place so much I ate here twice during my weekend visit. Get the everything bagel with veggie cream cheese bc they make their own cream cheese! Also their chicken salad ( they use turkey) egg salad and tuna salad were all delicious! They are also doing covid right bc they have everything set up outside read more

Best bagels ever!!! We live near Hadensville and drive to Bodo's every other week to buy a dozen onion bagels. The only place we get our bagels now. The last couple of times I asked for one extra bagel, cinnamon, for the road. Just can't beat a fresh bagel right outta the oven!! read more

We visited Charlottesville this weekend and my husband constantly talks about this place. So we had to check it out. The line was so long, but it honestly went by pretty fast. The team is very quick at taking orders and getting them out. For some reason it took us a while to get our order, people who ordered after us was getting their food before us. We only order two bagels with cream cheese. So that was a little frustrating. I got an everything bagel with honey pecan cream cheese. The bagel was so soft and chewy. The cream cheese was sweet and amazing. My husband got a cinnamon raisin bagel with regular cream cheese. I wish we got more to take home, that's my only regret. read more

i ordered the cream cheese and lox bagel with tomato, onion, and sprout. it was very delicious and filling, however, the sprout was over powering so next time i'm avoiding that. there was more sprout than the lox. minus one star only because the lox bagel didn't include the tomato and onion and the bagel shops i usually go to have it ready to go including the capers. i also ordered the lemonade and it was extremely fresh. not the sweetest but definitely the freshest. the line moved very quickly as well and staff was very quick and nice. it was a lovely day and weather was perfect :)) read more

Excellent bagels And fast friendly service. It was a large to go order and everything was ready when I arrived.

Some of my coworkers recommended this place to me. So while on my business trip, I just had to make a trip to bodo's bagels for some breakfast. I got the lox bagel which was great! They toasted my everything bagel and smothered a bunch of cream cheese on there. I opted out of the capers which isn't my favorite. Other than that, this place can get quite busy. Everything was delicious and the workers were really nice. Located in college town, this place is definitely swarming with college students. So if you want to enjoy some breakfast here, go early! I went around 7:15am and there were only a handful of people there. It is also walking distance from UVA. read more

First of all we Love the Bodo's on Emmet Street but have now been disappointed twice at this one. I ordered 6 bagels to go yesterday. My fault for not checking the bag before I left. 5 out of six (different varieties) bagels were burnt. read more

First time to Bodo's and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait to go back to try more bagel flavors. They pile on the cream cheese!

Bodo's is bae. I don't consider myself a broke-a** college student anymore, but if I did I would hit up this CVille institution on the reg. And by reg I mean breakfast and lunch. I'd probably schedule all my classes around this place, too. On my most recent trip, I stuffed myself during lunch time, for only $6.56! I ordered a breakfast sandwich, which included a sausage patty, egg crepe, and muenster cheese all in-between an everything bagel ($3.50), as well as as basic bagel with cream cheese schmear ($2.05). Bodo's bagels consist of a soft, chewy texture to them. (I like.) Supposedly, they taste very New York-y, and if that's the case then I love NYC. Something that caught me off guard is their cream cheese - it almost completely melted when I received it. Not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but ended up licking my fingers at the end. Other tidbits: - I found the people working behind the counter super friendly - Outdoor seating is available - Sort of dark inside. When in CVille, Bodo's is a must. read more
