Got a Black Sea Salt bagel with avocado and egg. Came out quick and was reasonably priced. The bagel has a great taste, but was a bit firm. The avocado kept falling out of the bagel, but overall it was a decent bagel for a quick, satisfying bite. read more

The Bake Shop - Black Sea Salt Bagel with Avocado and Egg - Bagels Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Very friendly staff and the cupcakes are very tasty. The owner met us at the door and apologized to us for the A/C because no one the fritz.

Drawn-in by their $4 anniversary special which was your choice of any bagel with egg and cheese. French toast bagel was on point and I added a side of cannoli cream cheese. That stuff is amazing!!!! Hubs added sausage to his breakfast sandwich and the patties were nice sized and flavorful. Also ordered a sticky bun and it was delicious! Service was nice and helpful! Lots of delicious looking treats and can't wait to come back to try more. There is no seating inside but lots of tables outside. read more

I had the most amazing avocado spread on a everything bagel! Everything looked and smelled so good. Can't wait to go back again!

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile and SO glad I finally got to! My family shared a few things. The bagels were perfection- light and fluffy. The sticky bun was amazing! The cream cheese frosting is one of a kind. Our favorite was the banana pudding blondie. Deff will be stopping our next time in town! read more

The Bake Shop - The Bake Shop- Williamsburg, VA - Bagels Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

We have been coming here since it opened. To say the service and food have gone downhill is an understatement. Not to mention the cost of food. Sure I get the cost of inflation but two bagels and a croissant shouldn't add up to $35. Bagels $3.00 each -$6.00 Cream cheese $2.00 on each $4.00 Proteins $3.00 x 3 two on one bagel and 1 on the other. $9.00 Egg $2.00 on each $4.00 Croissant $6.00 $29.00 before taxes Not to mention that we were charged for a sausage patty when they were in fact out. Didn't get a refund nope. Staff is unfriendly, unfamiliar with what items that actually have and don't. Not to mention how slow they are. They aren't under staffed if anything they are over staffed with people just lallygagging about. We got a S'more's croissant that had an ungodly amount of bakers dark chocolate inside that made it undeniably terrible to even eat. The center was still pure dough. We said this last visit that we thought we were done eating here and today this visit solidified our decision. We definitely don't recommend this establishment. We ant even say their coffee is good. It's more bitter and acidic than Starbucks which is saying something. read more

The Bake Shop - Burnt under the topping, undercooked dough inside. Bakers dark chocolate was an ungodly amount that made it impossible to eat. - Bagels Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

I haven't even tried the food yet but this service is shockingly bad. I've been waiting for two bagels for more than 20 minutes. The line wasn't out the door but they have so many orders from campus that they get to first. They should do some sort of prioritization of in-person orders over GrubHub, because this is absurd. Edited to add: I went to get a refund and they couldn't even confirm to me I'd get one until "end of day." When I asked to speak to a manager, they said no. No apologies for the FORTY MINUTE delay. Also, the bagel is soggy. Really terrible experience. read more

I absolutely love the bake shop and only have one piece of advice: they really need to start seasoning their bagels all over. Right now they only put some seasoning on the top and it's really lacking. Why would I want an everything bagel with no everything seasoning? Please please pleaseeeeee make this one change. We are desperate for good bagels in Williamsburg!!! read more

I really WANT to like the Bake Shop. I do. But the quality just keeps going downhill. The prices have always been high, but this is a wealthy tourist town, so I get that. There aren't really many other options in the area, so there's no competition. I get that. The menu has changed for the worse, getting more expensive in the process. The last time that my wife ordered a bagel and cream cheese, there was only enough cream cheese to cover half of one side. That's a quarter of the bagel. There literally was not enough to smear and cover half of the bagel. Today, I ordered a "Big Bird Baguette " sandwich. On the 10" baguette, it had: two 2" round slices of cheese, two 2" round slices of sundried tomatoes, about a tablespoon of basil spread, and four slices of low-quality chicken. It's absurd. This is NOT a $12 sandwich! This is on the level of something you might find in a vending machine in a hospital cafe. The service is usually quite prompt and friendly. The location is easily accessible, which is great. But the food quality just keeps going downhill. read more

Dropped in with my friend while visiting from Northern VA and we loved it! My friend said it was the best breakfast she's had in a long time. We both got bagel sandwiches, a tea latte, and a pastry each. We felt the prices were reasonable and the staff were very friendly. Perfect bagel and my matcha with rose syrup was great. Will come back next time I visit Williamsburg! read more

Needed a quick solution to feed a bunch of people from CA, TX and NC all with different taste. The Bake Shop was a perfect solution. From the savory ham and cheese scone to the deliciously sweet sticky bun, the Bake Shop had a flavor for all taste. The coffee was also great. It was busy and is small but being patient is worth it. read more

One of my favorite spots to grab breakfast in Williamsburg. My only issues is the price but, to be honest, it is worth the cost. The Bake Shop is as the name indicates. It is a bakery. They make their own bagels along with other delicious treats that are proudly displayed as you order. My go-to is always the Asiago bagel with the scallion and dill shmear. They are good about really loading up their bagels with lots of cream cheese. Outside of my normal go-to, their sandwiches are also great. You really can't go wrong with any of them but my personal favorite is The Burg. Word of warning - this place is very popular with the students. If you try and go here on a Saturday or Sunday morning around 10am when college is in session, expect to have a lengthy wait in line. read more

I've been wanting to check The Bake shop out forever. They are always so busy during the W&M school year. So lucky me to catch them after school was out and even score parking up front, The location is just blocks from W&M campus. Parking is 10 minutes in front which can be adequate for pick up, nearby is an hour if eating on the patio, The place is a small walk in. Grab and go beverages and order at the counter. Menus are on the island as you walk in. The bottle drinks were luke warm on a very hot Williamsburg day. It was hard to not be tempted by their pastries, but I showed restraint. The staff was super friendly and helped a first timer decide on a bagel sandwich and drink. Price is fair these days and can tip on the machine. My salmon on everything was delightful. I paired with a bourbon (non alcoholic) ice latte which was super yum! Enjoyed on their patio under and umbrella. Only drawback is everything is grab and go or patio. Will love to come back. read more

What a radical little bake shop that has so many delicious goodies that you really can't pick just one. We had one of the breakfast sandwiches which I believe it was made with chicken sausage I don't remember really too much from my visit here this day as it was all kinda a blur of an adventure. Like we got here when they opened and there was a line to get in but it moved quickly so that was radical and then the bread we got was really yummy too and something else that I really can't remember but it was awesome too! Yeah this review really doesn't say much just go here it's what's good it's small local and has just everything of what's good even for those who are still up from the previous night! read more

Adorable place, that is simple and puts the baked good first. We got the black garlic and sea salt bagel as well as the sticky bun. One of the best bagels I've ever had perfect texture and wonderful flavor. The sticky bun was massive, great consistency, and not too sweet. We waited in line for only a few minutes to order, and our food came out very quickly. All around awesome spot. read more

If you've been a Williamsburger long enough, you've seen a few businesses come and go in this location. This is a pretty nice bakery, with breakfast/lunch offerings in the form of sandwiches. I like how substantial the sandwich on a bagel is-- it was yummy and satisfied me as a brunch until dinner time. They also do flavored lemonades, teas, and coffee drinks. Food prices are about average for CW, but the drink selection is smaller and pricier than other nearby options, like Aromas. If you're looking for something gluten free, give this a skip-- you'd be better served by the nearby Blackbird Bakery. They might have a line going out the door on a weekend morning, but it goes pretty quickly. There's no indoor seating, so you wait and sit outside until they text you that your food is ready. Masks are recommended but not required while inside. It's relatively easy to park nearby. All in all, it's worth a shot if you like baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. read more

So so bagel, cold cappuccino, very inconsiderate and rude service. Nope! Won't be back!

For the life of me I don't understand how this place has less than 5 stars. I come down to Williamsburg probably 2-3 times a year and the Bake Shop is always a must. Their Burg bagel sandwich (I always get mine on a black garlic and sea salt bagel) is the best. Their baked goods are always so interesting (strawberry corn meal cookies, banana pudding blondies and a churro croissant) (the latter looked spectacular but I didn't want to subject it to a train ride back to DC) the service is efficient- the only issue I can see is that there is really no place to wait out of the way for your order without blocking people trying to get in. This place is an absolute gem. read more

This place is really good! Get there early it's packed and usually a line out of the door. Their bagels and very good, tasty, fluffy soft and toasted at the same time! We love this place but be prepared to wait! Especially on the weekends! read more

There is one phenomenally kind and helpful young woman at the front but overall this feels more like an angsty shop specifically for college students and tourists. A bagel with cream cheese is over $7. You will wait for over 10 minutes for it without a line. You will also likely be treated like you asked for something extreme. Bring your patience. The brownies are typically over-salted and they often don't have bread loaves. I find it surprising that this is our only brick and mortar bakery in Williamsburg, if you miss the farmers market it's your only choice for preservative free bread. But it's a sandwich shop, don't anticipate great options. read more

I ordered a rather large order on friday and was pleasantly surprised! Great food and great customer service from Emma at the register! This cute little shop is great for families visiting their kids at school! Amazing place to hang outside with family on a nice day! Bake shop breakfast sandwich with bacon is to die for! read more

Warning! Do NOT eat here for health safety concerns! I recently went here and ordered 3 things, a pecan sticky bun, a white chocolate cinnamon scone, and a sandwich called the Italian Veggie. The sandwich was ok fundamentally, I enjoyed the fresh veggies on it, however, the bread was badly burnt and made the sandwich taste terrible. I was willing to accept the burnt bread, but what I found in the scone was unacceptable. As I was eating my scone, I found a piece of metal in it. I took this back to the shop, and they said that this happens frequently, saying that the pans they use to bake items on are quite old and falling apart! They offered to compensate for the metal-filled scone, but I declined, since I was a little afraid to eat anymore of their baked goods due to foreign objects being in the desserts. I threw away the sticky bun I had ordered for fear of this. Furthermore, the line to get this food is always long and was not worth the wait. And while you wait in line, there are huge bags of flour that caused me to sneeze frequently, and I do not have a wheat allergy, so those who are allergic to wheat need not enter! So if you are thinking of going here, I highly recommend you do not! I had high hopes for this place, but they severely disappointed me. Go elsewhere for better, non-metal filled baked goods. read more

Great local place. The baked goods are creative and tasty. Solid cup of coffee to. We visit often when we are in town

really underwhelmed:( all of the baked goods looked super yummy so we probably should have gone with those but really wanted a bagel sandwich. the egg and cheese bagel was pretty much empty and flavorless, the breakfast sammie with bacon wasn't much better. Staff was very nice and the coffee drinks are good. I would stay away from the breakfast sammie's and maybe opt for a schmear or just baked goods. read more

Bakery options in downtown are a little limited, but Bake Shop fills that niche, if a little unevenly. Coffee and chai were good, but hard to get too wrong. The Coffee Cake Muffin was solid, the sticky bun was as well (it's definitely a sticky bun!). The savory scone was a little lacking in flavor though. Overall not a bad place to grab a coffee and pastry in the morning if you're in that part of town. read more

My wife and I love their pastries and bagels! The coffee here is good as well! The shop is small and does get busy so you can expect lines out the door with minimal inside waiting. Luckily the employees are quick and can be very helpful! read more

I was really excited to try this place. However, I ordered three sandwiches in person and it took over 30 minutes of waiting. All the online orders took precedence over in person orders while I was standing there for 30 minutes. While I understand online orders go in order, there should be some balance between executing online orders and in person orders. This long unexpected wait unfortunately took the experience away from me and therefore I do not recommend this place unless you know to online order beforehand. read more

I came here over a year ago and fallen in love with this shop. We came TWICE during our 3 day stay. I wanted to take my family this time around. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be coming back. The bagels are like what everyone is saying- BRICKS. Don't get me wrong- i like thick bagels but this one is just massive. They definitely need to have a lesson on bagel making. Additionally, every sandwich I had was very scarce in between. If I wanted a sandwich like that- I would have gone to Dunkin Donut. A lot of people have also mentioned pricing- I spent $60 on 2 plain bagels and 3 sandwiches and 2 coffees. Was it worth it? Not at all :/. read more

The Bake Shop was fantastic. I got a ham and cheese scone that was fluffy, tender, and had great flavor. I also got an iced latte with the bourbon caramel syrup. The coffee itself tasted smooth and the syrup was a nice addition. Overall the customer service and vibe was great. I would love to go back to try more of their baked goods! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for their breads, but upon arriving, I decided I wanted to try their treats instead. The girl at the cash was friendly and greeted me upon entering. The baked goods sounded so interesting, we chose all of the ones that appealed to us that we couldn't really find in other stores. The turnovers have a nice flaky pastry. The biscuit and gravy was our favorite of the day! The Blueberry is not overly sweet with a good ratio of filling to dough. The creme brulee brioche Danish was a bit disappointing. There was no crisp to the burnt sugar, and the bread was a little dense for my liking. I was told the sticky buns were what they're known for. They are good, not too sweet and smothered with a cream cheese icing. I warmed it up in the microwave slightly and it tasted even better! Overall, it's a fun place to get a few treats. I'll be back to try some more! read more

Glad you're in W-burg, Bake Shop! This artisan bakery and coffee bar is right off of Armistead, offering plenty of al fresco dining options. Their menu seems to be updated with the season, so check back often! They have pastries (muffins, krispies, biscuits, scones, etc.), sandwiches, bagels and shmears, and daily freshly-baked breads (such as baguettes, boule, buns, and loaves). We came here for an early breakfast, and we ordered: +Bake Shop Sticky Bun - so fluffy and gooey with the cream cheese glaze - this wasn't too sweet but such a sweet way to start off the morning! +Ham & Cheddar Scone - filled generously with bits of ham and scallions; no need for butter! +Banana Bread Loaf - slightly dry, but I did enjoy the bits of nuts +Bird's the Word - with housemade brandy apple chicken sausage, egg, and sharp cheddar cheese in a rosemary bolo roll - this was one of the most delicious breakfast sammies I've had - super savory and perfectly paired with all the ingredients! +Black Garlic & Sea Salt artisan bagel with Charred Jalapeno & Cheddar shmear - generous shmear, which I appreciated; the large chunks of sea salt on the bagel made it a bit too salty, even for me! Wished I could take more of the garlic, though +a seasonal Grapefruit Mint Cold Brew - wasn't really a fan of this - it was way too tart; maybe I'll just stick to the usual coffee next time! I'd love to try their muffins, their sandwiches, and even the Detroit-style pizzas that they have later in the day. There was an oopsies with one of the orders, but it was taken care of right away. The staff here are welcoming and super kind, and do want to make sure that everything is perfect! Plenty of street parking in the area. +Bird's the Word sammie +Bake Shop Sticky Bun +friendly & welcoming staff! +plenty of outdoor tables/chairs +generous amount of street parking available read more

Ok. First of all, the black garlic and sea salt shmear is next level!! So delicious! The bagels are big and soft and generously covered (if it has a topping). My main complaint is the last time they kind of skimped on the shmear. Didn't happen the first time and it's really their own fault that I was upset about it. If they weren't so delicious I wouldn't miss it so much Service is fast and friendly. Cute little shop that gets packed quickly. Side note: no bathroom. We've used the one at the library on the corner and wasn't too inconvenient but it's worth mentioning. read more

A weekend staple for me to come to the bake shop, grab a coffee, maybe some pastries, a sandwich, and enjoy Williamsburg on a beautiful day. Started coming to this place earlier this year (about a month after they opened) and have enjoyed their pastries, sandwiches, and coffee for the past couple months. However, what takes the cake (or should I say pie) was definitely the pumpkin pie I had for thanksgiving. Quite literally "the best pie ever" as stated by my husband and I upon our first bite. I have no idea what it is baked with, but it's definitely magical and delicious. Come for your pastries, bread, coffee, but don't skip the pie! read more

Went here on Saturday morning 11am. Expensive for what you get. Super long slow lines out the door. Chewy bacon (they precook it that way and won't do special requests for well done bacon/crispy, etc.). The everything bagel had very little everything seasoning on it. The lox/salmon is only a spread with lots of mayonnaise and nowhere does it say they put a bunch of other ingredients like hard boiled eggs so there's not much lox/salmon. read more
