Back Bay Gourmet is located in the Red Mill Walk Shopping Center in Virginia Beach. They are…read morebetween Home Goods and Petco for visual reference. My visit here was on June 1, 2026. The outside of the business isn't hard to find. The large signage and being located along a curve in the shopping center helps make it stand out and easier to find. You can see the available outdoor seating there too. It wasn't too busy either for around 4:20 pm on a weekday. My mom came with me on this visit. We had found a gift card for here, so that's what brought us here. Once you come inside, the first thing I noticed is that to the left was primarily a shopping area for stuff, and the restaurant is on the right side of the business. We were immediately greeted at the entrance and went to a table in the dining area. Shortly after, our server Olivia came to the table to introduce herself and ask us what we wanted to drink. In this case, both of us just had water, though I had mine with lemon in it. After the drinks came, she asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't quite ready since it was the first time here for us. After several minutes passed, she came back and we were finally ready to order. My mom ordered the Egg Salad Sandwich and I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Panini. Both sandwiches came with their housemade chips. After about ten minutes or so, the food came out to the table. Both food items looked really good. The Chipotle Chicken Panini was hot and flavorful. It did pack some spice, but not too much. The homemade chips were good and crispy too, just the way I like them. My mom really liked the Egg Salad Sandwich and the chips too. Overall, this was a very good visit. The food and service were great. When it came time to pay, the gift card didn't work and they were not able to honor it. Apparently the gift card was pretty old. The manager came and checked it out too and couldn't make it work either. She said that I would be contacted afterwards, but I never did hear anything back about it. They are locally owned, so it was likely something they couldn't do. Regardless, I do plan to come back in the future as the food was really good, though not too much since I don't want to over-carb myself too much. If you're looking for a local non-chain sandwich place, this place is worth checking out.

Eventually, one server told me someone would be right with me, but no one showed up for another five minutes. I just sat there awkwardly waiting.

We also got a chicken tender sub from the deli made by Don. Don did a great job with our sub. He was very personable and conscientious about changing his gloves. We really appreciated this. It was 9:30pm and there was 30 minutes left until closing time (which is when some people can get antsy about wanting to leave and wanting to be done with work) but Don and Katie engaged in conversation with us and provided great customer service. The sub and carrot cake we got were also DELICIOUS.

My husband and I came for brunch to celebrate our anniversary, and it was very disappointing compared to our previous visits. The pancakes were tough and inedible--we had to request a waffle instead. While the crab dip was enjoyable, the rest of the meal fell short. Our server (Erika) made us feel rushed, which took away from what was supposed to be a special occasion. The portion sizes were also surprising--my husband's platter included a single sausage cut in half, and mine came with half a slice of bacon. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations. If maintaining quality requires higher prices, I would much rather pay more for a better experience than receive subpar food and portions. Sadly, this visit was a letdown, and we won't be returning. I hope improvements are made moving forward.

I stopped into Brooklyn Bagels on a Saturday morning around 10am. Even though I live nearby, I've…read moreonly been once before, so I was excited to give it another try. I ordered the Williamsburg Bagel, which consisted of lox, plain cream cheese, tomato, capers, and red onion. I originally wanted it on an Everything bagel, but since they were out, I went with a Garlic bagel instead. Even though it was a tad bit crowded, my sandwich was ready in about 5 mins. I've had the Williamsburg Bagel before so I was excited to enjoy it again but I wasn't a big fan of the thick-cut red onions they added on there, and I actually love onions! Unfortunately, I ended up taking most of them off. I also wish it had more cream cheese, the thin layer on the bottom just wasn't enough for me. That said, the bagel itself was fresh and overall, the sandwich tasted good. At almost $20, it did feel a little pricey for a bagel sandwich, but I enjoyed it. I'd definitely come back to try other options. The interior is full of Brooklyn pictures, which I love! Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

My husband and a friend came here on a Thursday morning to order 6 items and they were gone for almost an hour (it was a 10 minute drive from where we stayed). They come back with a bag of "bagels" (if that's what you want to call them) drenched in ketchup. Our orders were extremely simple: BEC w/PK on a plain bagel Egg and cheese on a croissant BEC w/PK on an asiago bagel Taylored Ham, egg & cheese on a bagel Toasted everything bagel with lox & cream cheese Here is everything that went wrong: 1. The bagel store didn't offer BACON, so we ended up substituting for sausage. The sausage patty was probably the size of my kid's palm- that's how small it was. The eggs were overcooked and had no taste, but don't worry, they'll make sure to smother the entire bagel with ketchup to make up for it. 2. TOASTED bagel with lox & cream cheese- bagel was not toasted, and there wasn't any lox available. 3. Egg & cheese on a croissant- the place didn't have any croissants... so had to substitute this for a roll 4. It was the chef's second day in the kitchen. Bagels alone wasn't great quality..it was edible enough, but extremely chewy and stiff, especially after taking so long to prepare the orders and with two people working in a place that is seemingly popular with the Yelp Community, the amount of time it took this order to be ready was a little ridiculous. I ordered the same thing back home the following day and it took less time to make here in NJ than it did here on a non-busy day with just my husband and friend as their sole customer at the time.

The sfogliatelle (shell-shaped pastry) is worth a trip from Kempsville. In addition to the great food, I have to send a shoutout to Erin. I was meeting a friend, she was late, not reachable by text or phone, which is highly unusual for her. After a half hour wait I was convinced my friend was having a health issue. I thanked Erin, explained the situation to her, and left to drive to my friend's house. Needless to say, five minutes later (still in the parking lot), I got a message through Messenger that my friend was safe inside the restaurant. Erin volunteered her personal phone to help us out and was very kind through the whole debacle. Almost needed a daytime glass of wine to recover! (no go - driving) The restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. But I get distracted on my way to the table by the amazing pastry display! And they're not just pretty, they back it up with good taste.

Although we sat outside (because we were dining with a dog), we never had to wait too long for the waitress to check on us. Every 5-10 minutes, she dropped by to make sure things were going well and to refill our coffee. Since The Egg Bistro has a HUGE breakfast menu, I'm sure everyone should be able to find something that they will/might enjoy. For my dining pleasure, I tried something new and went with the Bennie & the Grits. This dish piqued my interest because I never heard of grits cakes in the four decades of living on this planet. For about 20 bucks, the dish included three fried grit cakes with ground sausage, grilled shrimp, more sausage, two poached eggs and a side. Although the serving size was HUGE, I was not a bit fan of the dish. Note, I didn't think the dish was prepared badly, I just didn't get the concept of the fried grits (this from a grits lover); however, everything else with the dish was pretty good. If you are a Bloody Mary lover, you might some interesting varieties of Bloody Marys here. Additionally, I really appreciated that The Egg Bistro ranks the Bloody Marys based on spice level. Overall, I definitely would not mind visiting this location during a future trip to Va Beach. The only (very) minor issue that I had was that the outdoor seating is right next to the parking lot so you might experience some exhaust fumes/smoke while eating if you chose to dine outside. Again, this would not have been a (very) minor issue if we were not dining with a dog.

I wouldn't mind returning again in the future thanks to the nice service and decent food with good portions and pricing.
