Not bad at all for $1.05/bagel for dozen+. The bagels have a nice chew with great seasonings. This location looks like it was previously a McDonald's or something. I stayed in what I thought was a drive through but was actually just a line of cars parked. No worries either way, service inside was quick & friendly enough.

The tables and carpet could use more frequent cleaning, but customer service was friendly. Though they were busy, they took my order quickly and my egg & cheese on whole wheat bagel was out within a few minutes. I was looking forward to trying the local no bull patty, but was told they no longer have this option. I liked my sandwich, but it would have been better with some type of sauce to offset the dry bagel. I will try the egg salad sandwich next visit.

A fellow worshiper at Synagogue, which for those who don't know is a Jewish place of worship, said it best by simply exclaiming, "ach, cake!," when asked about Bodos. To which I would add only: cake, yes, but without flavor. I have been told that their sandwiches are better and that their bagels are actually meant for those (the last refuge of a coward bagel maker, but I digress), so I ordered a sandwich. I ended up with a roast beef and horseradish bagel, but in some perverse nod to tradition, my bagel came with meat and a large dollop of white chrain (raw horseradish). That was all. The herb of affliction, rather than the nice horseradish sauce that I expected. I'd rather go to Arby's. I respect all restauranteurs. Feeding people is difficult ands often thankless work. So, I don't often leave negative reviews. However, I can no longer remain silent while people claim Bodos is good.

All was good overall. The pancakes could have been cooked a bit longer as they were mushy inside (uncooked batter). The potatoes were a bit too salty and greasy but the peppers were slightly uncooked the way we like them. Overall a good place to eat.

I thought this was a cafe where you could just sit wherever but it is more restaurant style where you get seated and have a sit down meal/menu.

It's on the pricier side but probably average for the Charlottesville area. I brought my schoolwork, there's a private wifi network you can use which is nice. Would definitely come back!

One that I want to highlight and isn't on Yelp by itself unfortunately is Sweet Jane's Kitchen Maryland Style Crab Cakes. They don't have a brick and mortar but she is always there every Saturday the Market is open from 9am-1pm. Since moving from FL I have never had a single good crab cake in all of VA...UNTIL I tried Jane's crab cakes. They are all of what a good crab cake has to offer: A large thick patty mostly consisting of super fresh crab and garnished with delicious spices and only small amount of filler. Their homemade sauce is perfectly zesty and pairs well with the crab cake and bun; I always get extra. To top it off the owner is always very kind and runs it with her family. Other than this one there is a flower shop that carries my favorite celosia flowers and my favorite caromont farm goat cheese. They have a wonderful variety of other unique shops and delicious food vendors to try. I highly recommend Jane's crabcakes and the Charlottesville City Market in general, so much that I am willing to travel almost 2 hours to get there. Honestly the best green market I've been to in VA.
