Very happy to have a real bagel shop so close to home. Being from NY originally and growing up with bagel shops I can say this place is legit. I bought a half dozen bagels and a half pound of potato salad. The bagels are so much better than Panera. They're very much like the bagels I grew up with. The potato salad was the real deal too. A vinegar sugar blend to the mayo and the taste of onion you only find in NY delis. They offer sandwiches also and next time I will try one. One last thing I haven't seen outside of NY, real NY style coffee cake. Huge pieces. I'll be trying that also. read more

First time and I love it! As someone who used to live in NYC, specifically Brooklyn, it felt like home! Peg was great as well. She explained to me their process. The bagels were still warm. And super yummy! Full, fat bagels just as I remember! read more

Brooklyn Bagels - Everything, sesame, blueberry, and plain! - Bagels Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Update in response to owner I would love for you to post the audio because you didn't not receive "quite the pushback". Twice I said she can't wear a mask and was told the baby must be wearing a mask. Because I was completely flabbergasted that someone would try to put a mask on an infant. Then I said that's fine and left after she asked me leave. She said I could go to it vehicle and CALL in the order. And guess what? I did call and once again, no one answered. So what was the alternative you offered for your customer? I work in healthcare and put my life on the line everyday, even while other businesses were closed so I understand better than most. Again, children under two are NOT allowed to wear a mask. That's not up for a business to decide. But you're within your rights to refuse service to anyone as I'm 100 within my rights to share what happened. Again, I will quote direct from the governor's website. " "Cloth face covers for children. Cloth face coverings should never be used on children under the age of two" A simple sorry and a promise to educate your staff on health guidelines would have a been a great response. If you want to deny service to every single parent out there, your call. ***Previous post"*** Refused me service and kicked me out of establishment since my one year old daughter was not wearing a mask even though both CDC and Governor's office say under two should not wear a mask. Asking me to call and you would bring out the order was a great suggestion but as I had called three times that morning and never got through, how could I? The right way to handle this would have been KINDLY asking me to step outside and taking my order there and bringing me the food if you truly wanted to provide good customer service. I have been religously following every guideline given by the Governor and CDC since this pandemic hit and this was our first outing since. This just makes it more upsetting to me. How you treat your clients in this pandemic is how you will be remembered most. Sadly this will be my memory of this place. Being treated like a pirrah while following every rule and shuttled out. Here for the Governor's office so the business can educate themselves. Under two years old a face covering is DANGEROUS (more a suffocation and choking hazard than anything) and unbenefical. I was keeping her to my chest and more than six feet from others. "Cloth face covers for children. Cloth face coverings should never be used on children under the age of two. Adults should use their best judgment in using cloth face covers for children between the ages of two and nine while in public places. Adults should make their best efforts to get children ages 10 and above to wear cloth face covers when in public places. " read more

Update. Was loving the bagels when they opened. Now everyone I've tried to grab a bagel they're RAW. What good is NY water if you can't cook them right? Leave them in the oven for another minute or two to get it right. Had my bklyn peeps visiting and promised them I had a good Bklyn bagel hookup. I lost all credibility. Cook the bagels better. It's like eating dough lately. read more

Brooklyn Bagels - Raw bagels - Bagels Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Brooklyn Bagels are probably the best bagels I've ever tried! A friend recommended I try it out since I was in the area. The line can be a little long, but it's worth it! I was able to place my order while waiting in line so I didn't have to wait too much longer after paying. I definitely recommend the lox and salmon on an everything bagel - definitely competes with several similar places that sell the same thing. I also like the sandwich with egg, cheese, and sausage. Their potato salad is an excellent side for their sandwich combos. It's definitely a hidden gem that I highly recommend. read more

Great service! If you love bagel sandwiches this place is for you. We had the Bobo -bagel, eggs, bacon, cheese and hash brown. Sobo - sausage, bagel, egg, cheese and hash brown on an everything bagel and jalapeño bagel. We had an everything bagel with chive cream cheese that was amazing! read more

They don't toast bagels. They don't have a toaster, I was told. They don't plan to get a new one either. Enough said........

The only reason I am giving them a 3 is because the bagel was pretty good but nothing else about the experience was. I ordered an everything bagel and scallion cream cheese on the side, sliced and toasted. The lady running the register told me they did not have coffee drinks. They just had coffee. I ask if it was a fresh pot, after all it was 11:45 am. She said yes it was only an hour old :). I asked for water since it was old coffee or canned drinks. When I went to spread my scallion cream cheese they only had spoons and I could not get it to spread because the spoon was so cheap (see pictures). My cream cheese was veggie the cook tried to pass it off for scallion so he did not have to package scallion for me. He gave me prepackaged ones but since they did not have scallion he gave me veggie. I guess he thought I was stupid because the lid had a V on it. When he gave me scallion from his prep table see picture it had a few scallion pieces and 1/3 of the way down it had zero scallions. I hope the owner realizes people stop coming when basics are not provided. That is how businesses are lost. OMG! Give your customers knives so we can cut our bagels and spread cream cheese. read more

We were out and about and tried placing an online order, and after entering everything... it would not allow us to check out. So, we had just drove to Brooklyn Bagels to place the order - and waited. The bagels were fresh as usual - very good. read more

Great New York style bagels, highly recommend! If you're from New York you'll love these bagels.

I love this place Great bagels and sandwiches Great staff Very friendly and do a great job. read more

Welcome to New York...right in the middle of Virginia Beach! This is the real deal! Legit NY bagels, coffee and sandwiches and did I mention the crumb cake (made in NY City and shipped to VA Beach!) Expect a long line if you hit them up in the morning! Word is out and it's worth the wait! The owners and staff are all very friendly and accommodating! I love a little Brooklyn at the beach! read more

Look, I really want to like Brooklyn Bagels but my most recent visit left me with a dry bagel and wondering what I just spent over $10.00 on. I got a Jackie Robinson and an iced coffee... $3.49 for an Iced Coffee?! This is not Starbucks. I want to see this place succeed, and love supporting local but compared to the two major bagel places in the area, Yorgos and Bagel Baker they are way too expensive. I really hope they can survive once the tourists leave. I want to make this a morning routine, but honestly Wawa is cheaper.. My interactions with the staff have been pretty average. There is an up-charge for rainbow bagels because they are apparently very labor intensive. They did not make that clear at the time of purchase and the male owner went above and beyond from a customer service perspective to ease my confusion. Just to Compare... Bagel w/Cream Cheese Bagel Baker: $2.39 Yorgos: $2.75 Brooklyn Bagel: $3.09 Lox and Cream Cheese Yorgos: $9.25 Bagel Baker: $11.49 Brooklyn Bagel: $15.99 read more

Native NYer also ex bagel shop worker . I was told there was a lack of decent bagels to the area ( which I only moved here two weeks ago) found this place and I'm glad I did . The bagels were delicious and fresh and soft . The cream cheeses seemed standard to me . I take a star away due to a small selection of bagels and the service is a little slow . The staff was very friendly . I'm hoping this business takes off and grows soon to include a bigger variety of bagels . They also offer some sandwiches on the menu and they ship in from Brooklyn this deliciously dense crumb coffee cake! read more

Brooklyn Bagels - Bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel : garlic bagel with lox cream cheese spread onion and tomato . - Bagels Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

See all

Overpriced and on the morning I came they had no ham...their actual selection was not very good. Having lived in NYC and experienced bagels...this is nothing special. Same quality as going to Panera or Dunkin for a bagel. read more

Bagels were super yummy and yes, definitely NY style! Came for lunch and since bagels are made fresh didn't have as many choices with bagel flavor. Bacon on the egg sandwich was pretty skimpy. Also beware: they won't toast your bagel "because they're made fresh"... a couple people in our party were bummed because that's how they prefer to eat them. read more

Food is great, best bagels I've had in Virginia, for that matter as good as bagels in New York. Staff is fantastic, owner is very friendly great place Portions are huge some come hungry. Desserts are to die for. New York coffee cake, Black and White Cookies This Place is the real deal!!!!! read more

Ordered placed, paid, and tipped. After my order was being made I was notified that they did not have all of the ingredients for my bagel. There was no offer of substitution of ingredients or any other offer, they were just out. This is my second visit, I will not be back. read more

Placed an order online. Said it would be ready by 8:17. Wasn't ready until 8:35. Ordered a rainbow bagel but got a plain one. Taylor pork roll was so over cooked it was crunchy like bacon.The actual bagels were good. Closest you will get to a NY bagel in this area. Will definitely give it another try as I like to support local family owned businesses as much as possible. Maybe they were just having an off day and it was busy. read more

Bagels here are huge and very tasty! This places used a water filtration system to generate spring water, which is used to make their bagels. The food was very tasty. They also have home made cream cheeses. read more

Brooklyn Bagels - Chicken salad sandwich on an everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ordered takeout for a group of 4 and their service time was perfect. I was in and and out within less than 10 minutes. They are taking proper precautions during covid with mask requirements and wearing gloves. The food itself was just what I needed to wake up on a Sunday morning. Their egg, cheese and ham bagel sandwich is very good and more than enough to satisfy morning hunger! read more

Wow a little bit of back home New York in Virginia Beach. Love this place. Bagels are fresh and the customer service is outstanding. Best bagel place in Virginia Beach by far. Highly recommend. read more

Ordered the Bo Bo egg bagel which was ah-mazing. It had egg/cheese/bacon and hash brown and it was bomb. Also, tired the BB iced coffee and it was also so yummy. Not too sweet or bitter. Definitely recommend this place. They were also very fast and very friendly! read more

Oooof. Idk. Not sure what more I can say except stay away. Unless I guess you like being talked down to and being treated poorly. Up to you.

I've been several times a thoroughly enjoyed their bagels. I get the Williamsburg (lox w everything) and it is loaded! Best I've had!

Can't tell you how the bagels tasted because I never got the chance. Terrible customer service. I walked into the empty store and asked for 2 eggs scrambled with sausage on a plain bagel. "We don't do scrambled, we only do over hard." " You don't do scrambled?" "Well, we can make an exception since we aren't busy." "Great, thanks! I appreciate it! Also, I'll take an egg bagel with butter." Get the egg sandwich, it's scrambled and covered in cheese. I ask them to remake it without the cheese... "You didn't say you didn't want cheese." "I didn't say I wanted cheese, I said scrambled with sausage." "Fine." While I wait for the remake I check my buttered bagel. Dry as a bone, maybe a teaspoon of butter but whatever, he can add butter when I get home. Remake comes out...over hard. I now ask for a refund on it. "What's wrong now?" "It's not scrambled." "We don't do scrambled." "You just did, and covered it in cheese. Please just give me my money back." "I'll have to ask in the back." Comes back, drops the entire cost of the order next to me, pivots and walks away. Since they refunded for the butterless bagel too, I dropped that bag next to the register, pivoted and walked out. You want great service and an authentic BEC Sammich, go to Seaside Dogs on a Saturday morning. EPIC! read more

The best bagel I've had ever. Due to covid they offer curbside which is great bc a lot of restaurants say they offer curbside, but when you come to pickup they say they don't offer it. The bagel was so soft and moist and delicious 10/10 recommend. read more

Let's start with the food being mediocre at best. I grew up in Brooklyn and these bagels aren't it. The customer service I received was horrible. The staff could care less if you were there or not. The attitude is take what we give you like it or not and get out. Lastly I'm 100% sure I could smell marijuana coming from the back area. First and last time I will enter this establishment. read more

It's going to take a while for people to realize they aren't wearing masks anymore, and to be more mindful of making faces when a customer asks for bagels to be toasted. I can also see you rolling your eyes behind your glasses. I'll pay extra for butter. That's fine. No need to be rude about it. I even offered to pay a the single with butter, but the front worker huffed, rolled her eyes, and said that's fine. Next customer, she was as sweet as can be. I've given this place enough chances throughout the years, but I'm over the cashiers. Every other visit shouldn't have to be "do they hate their job today or not?" read more

The only place w/ real NY bagels. This is the same owner as Brooklyn pizzeria. It's in the water. They have a huge variety of bagels to choose from. read more

Great bagels here. Very tasteful and made fresh daily. It was my first time trying this place and I am very pleased. I had the Flatbush on an everything bagel with Swiss cheese and lite spicy mustard. I have no complaints really. But for $17 they can give you a little more meat on the bagels. But because the pastrami was tender and seasoned well, I won't fuss about it. read more

So glad that's stopped at Brooklyn Bagels - the BOBO was a HUGE hit! Each bagel was delicious and authentic. All cream cheeses and Lox were fresh and tasty. The star is their everything bagel - Best I've ever had! Owners are so very nice and friendly. Will be our first stop when we arrive next time. Can't wait to try their pizzeria. Well done, Brooklyn Bagels, you're doing everything right. read more

I got a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese and bacon and the whole thing is completely cold. And it wasn't the last time

First time here after a year of living in the area and was not disappointed! A plethora of bagel options as well as deserts and coffees. Employees are respectful and knowledgeable about their product. The place was bustling with customers the entire duration of our meal so I know I'm not the only one with high praise for this establishment. read more

They are the BOMB! IF you are a NY or NJ transplant to Tidewater...they brought their own water! It makes the Bagels Rise to NY Metropolitan Standards....instead of the Southern Hockey Pucks! It is worth the effort, time, price to go here! You will thank me. P.S. Ask the Cohens for a sample of the NYC water. YOU ARE HOME, MY PEEPS! read more

Fantastic shop, bagels are good and always a special treat when we are at VA beach. Tasty spreads too!

If I could give no stars I would ... my fiancé and I came here for breakfast and I'm extremely disappointed . My total was $40 ... he got the Flatbush bagel with an egg ( which is like $2 upcharge and the bagel is already $14 ) and forgot his egg.. I got a bagel with sliced lox regular cream cheese and an avocado spread ... I got my bagel and they gave me the lox cream cheese and that isn't what I asked for and I still got charged more for the sliced lox . Needless to say this place is wayyy over priced and you don't get what you order ... the iced coffee isn't as good either . You're better off at bagel baker on great neck . read more

2 egg, cheese, and sausage sandwich on raisin cinnamon bagel was great (and big)! The BB sweet coffee was just right and the cream cheese options looked homemade and delicious! read more

This place is awesome felt like I was back home in NY. I will be a repeat customer. Peg was so nice great customer service!!!!!!!

Awful. We ordered two of the Turkey bagel sandwiches and it was the poorest quality of food I've ever gotten. The Turkey was slimy and the bagel had an awful aftertaste. The floor was dirty so ants were on the floor. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more
