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

Three of us stumbled on this place and we all agreed this was the best and freshest bagels we've ever tasted. Their authentic New York‑style water bagels are made from scratch every day, boiled and baked right on the premises, giving them a perfect chewy interior and rich flavor we haven't found elsewhere. The egg and bacon sandwich we tried was packed with egg and stacked tall with bacon, and it was simply the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had--hearty, satisfying, with just the right balance of ingredients stacked tall between the bagel. We loved them so much that we ended up buying three dozen bagels to take home. Bodo's also offers a ton of bagel flavors and plenty of spreads and toppings so you can build something exactly how you like it. If you're in Charlottesville and want fresh, flavorful bagels done right, this place should be at the top of your list. read more

This is Charlottesville must eat! Always a line, but worth the wait. This is authentic bagel taste. You can either eat in or take out. We got there early around 8:30 am, the wait is not too bad, but by the tine we finished, the line got long. read more

I love bodos so much that if I'm ever in or passing Charlottesville I try to stop by. Their everything bagel is a must and I love getting either a simple egg and cheese bagel for breakfast or either pastrami or roast beef for lunch. Perfect for breakfast/lunch and to go for road trips! read more

While passing through Charlottesville I wanted something unique to the area and found Bodo's Bagels one of the few NY style bagel shops. The prices were super affordable and the everything bagel was mouthwatering. Great location for an affordable grab and go or dine in meal. read more

Well these are pretty epic. They nailed the chewiness. I had a bagel sandwich (cream cheese, turkey, and lettuce) for $6... can't beat that. Very yummy, quick service during lunch rush. Will be back! read more

I came here Saturday morning and there was a line. It goes by fast though. Pretty crowded but there was plenty of open seating. The jalapeño cream cheese was really good. Not spicy at all. They forgot my egg in my bagel but I'd still give it 5/5. It tasted fresh, hot, creamy. It was delicious! read more

Love catching lunch here with friends. Great food and good prices. The line can look big but they move really fast!

The lines may be long but it goes pretty fast and is worth it. As an alumna I had to stop in to eat at the infamous Bodo's. I got a lunch sandwich and a breakfast (honey pecan cream cheese on plain) bagel for the next day. Both sandwiches were absolutely delicious. Love that the prices are still affordable and the staff was friendly as usual. Love Bodo's and I definitely recommend trying it if you haven't before. read more

Bodo's Bagels - Roast Beef sandwich with Diet Coke - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The bagels are fresh and great. Prices are better than just about anywhere you can find theae days. They were very busy on a saturday afternoon, but they kept the line moving. Took about 10mins to get half a dozen bagels and cream cheese. They were so busy there were no tables to sit and eat, and there wasn't even room to really stand and wait for your order. It is quite loud and the ambiance isn't anything special. But if you are looking for fresh food at a great price, the massive crowd can be mostly overlooked. *note on pricing, ordering toppings on the side can be costly. A tiny amount of pesto in a tiny cup was $1. read more

Bodo's is a big deal for Charlottesville. This location is off campus a few miles. This was my first ever visit to the famous locals bagel shop. Their iconic location is on the UVA campus. Surface parking is nearby, but they can get slammed! The employees park in the drive-thru lane no longer in operation. The lot was clear of debris. The atmosphere inside was electric! My visit was on a UVA move-in Saturday. It was busy, but not packed at around 330 in the afternoon. It took little time to walk up and order. Menu boards make it easy, but if you're new I recommend looking at their online menu first. Service was super friendly by the young male staff. Some questions were asked on suggestions and customization. Payment is at the counter and they accept all major credit cards. There was no option to tip. Orders are called out and my pastrami on everything came out within 5 minutes. My wife got a chicken salad and daughter egg & bacon. I absolutely loved my pastrami on swiss. The everything bagel was not toasted and was soft with a nice chew. My daughter like the egg & cheese, but bacon lower quality. My wife thought the chicken salad was quality, but they forgot the lettuce. Ultimately they both liked their sandwiches. While enjoying our meal staff was wiping off tables and sweeping underneath tables. Trash is deposited by customers and it was within its boundaries. Also the restrooms were clean. A super operation all around. Great bagels and a strong value. They missed the mark a bit, but I will 100% return and if never been it's a must! 4.5 rounding down. read more

Best bagel breakfast sandwiches in the world. Prices are extremely reasonable. It's like stepping back in time. Bodo's is a national treasure. read more

Might be one of the most overhyped place I have heard of in a long time. Like I get it college kids are going to love bagels but this is easily not a new york bagel and kind of false advertising saying that. The bagels all small and not better than store bought. I got an everything with lox and the spread was good but the bagel was mid. read more

Went to this location on my way out of town last weekend. It was very full so the parking lot was nuts but they were still so quick. And as always the food was fabulous! read more

For starters, this heavy-set woman with breathing problems was behind me in line. I asked if she was ok. She explained she was in a lot of pain from breaking her back. A couple of juvenile acting college students were looking at her and then at each other, giggling. Very rude. Then, my food had a stale bagel and egg salad lacking a little salt, very bland. It was also dirty in there with trash flowing out of the can and nowhere to put any new trash. The Preston Bodos, has a more mature, polite staff and better food. Pass on this dump read more

WOW. Great great spot - no frills, no trendy touches, just very good bagels and coffee. We got two breakfast sandwiches on everything bagels (the bagels were chewy and so flavorful, and the eggs were particularly good), plus cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese (melty and gooey and perfect), and coffees. We brought home a few bagels as well (they put a small tub of cream cheese in the bag, which I didn't even ask for but was thrilled about!). The staff are efficient and nice, and the spot just feels so classic - I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Cville! read more

Bodo's.... Did you really just give me a "tofu sandwich" with a slab of uncooked, unmarinaded tofu!? As a vegetarian, I loved you, but this is my second attempt to eat here as a vegan and it's been disgusting each time. Please, marinade or season your tofu! Additionally, your avocados have no flavor and have a slimy texture as if they were frozen. Additionally, 70% of the world is lactose intolerant and you don't have a dairy free, vegan cream cheese alternative. I'm truly disappointed in my recent dining experiences here. This was a one star bumped up solely for the bagel and how fast the food came out. read more

Heard that when in Charlottesville, VA was told to give Bodo a try. Walked in and the place is organized and was greeted. Order taken and food came out quickly. Lots of indoor seating and the workers do their best to keep the area tidy. We ordered a few bagel sandwiches and lemonade. Reasonable prices and value for the buck! Fair is fair drop in and give Bodo's a try! read more

Bodo's Bagels - Lox and Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I absolutely love Bodo's so much that I always get it whenever I'm visiting Charlotteville even years after I graduated. I have noticed that some days it's even better than others (like the bagel is warm, or sometimes they put too little or too much of an ingredient like onions) BUT every time I go I never regret it! My go to is the chicken salad on an everything bagel with lettuce and onion (I would add tomatoes but I'm used to my broke college student order that tried to save the extra fee for tomatoes). I wish Bodo's was closer, as it's one of the places I miss the most about Charlottesville, and the prices are amazing. There is always a wait whenever I go, and there's a reason why. read more

Bodo's Bagels - Chicken salad bagel on everything bagel with onion and lettuce - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

So freaking good!!!! Love the chicken salad with mustard and also hummus with sprouts tomato and cucumbers. Favorite bagels are the onion and the garlic. I tried the everything wheat that wasn't as fresh/a little tough... not sure if it's because it's wheat? Anywho doesn't matter. Great food, DECENT price, and friendly staff. Oh and they don't skimp on the cream cheese!! You can get one bagel and cream cheese and have enough cream cheese to spread another bagel. read more

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

Don't flame me for saying this but I think Bodo's Bagels is as good as most New York bagel places and half the price! Most people I know get the everything bagel because it is EVERYTHING. All their bagels have just the right amount of chew and come deliciously warm. My go to order is the ham and egg bagel with a slice of cheddar cheese. Pro tip, make sure you specify the cheese when you order or else they will give you American. Really I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here as long as you like bagels. They have plenty of indoor seating though with a self-service diner atmosphere. Only down side is the lines can get really long in the late mornings / afternoon on the weekend. read more

Bodo's Bagels - Egg Bagel with Ham and Cheddar Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I needed a quick stop for breakfast on the way to the airport, and got several recommendations for Bodo's. I can see why, they were packed even at 6:45! The line went pretty quick, and they were very thoughtful with the service. It's got a lot of seating inside so we didn't have a problem getting a seat. I got a breakfast sandwich and a couple of Everything bagels for my flights (which was great since the airport doesn't have great choices). The sandwich was delicious with fresh made eggs, although I should have gotten some cheese in hindsight. The airplane bagel was also fantastic, and I had the last one for breakfast the next day. They have a lot of breakfast and lunch sandwich choices, and a small but high-quality selection of bagels and house-made cream cheeses. The bagels are softer inside, with a great shell, and so tasty! read more

It's probably the best you can find in CVille but couldn't cut it in the northeast. Bagels are a bit underdone (I guess) and heated to be "hot out of the oven". They can't toast or grill anything. Probably under boiled (do they boil them?) because the outer crust was underwhelming. They are generous with cream cheese. Coffee is average. Employees are polite and efficient. A donut makers bagel. read more

Jameson: I ordered a bacon egg and cheese and it was delicious. Very fast delivery of food. Customer service was could use some work. Wesley: The cinnamon raisin with honey and butter was exquisite. The style of decor and interior adds to it. Ambience and music could use some work. Bella: Immediately when I arrived I was gripped by the fact that the line was out of the door. I thought to myself, "wow this must be a GREAT bagel!" However my experience was somewhat thwarted by the ordering experience, I was somewhat confused on what I wanted however felt rushed to order. There were so many really great options that I was so overwhelmed and quickly order a plain bagel with turkey, egg, and sprouts. Good bagel, nothing special though, however I believe it was more of a user error. I would have maybe gotten a spread to add more flavor. Would definitely come back, and maybe be more prepared with my order!! Fia: From the moment I stepped foot into Bodo's Bagels, I was inspired by the abstract, creative environment. The menu had a variety to choose from, which personally was not an ideal for me but is for most people. The customer service could have been friendlier but the speed at which they got the bagels out made up for it. I was amazed by how quickly they made my bagel, despite the amount of orders. My everything bagel with bacon and egg was incredible. The glossy crust was a clear representation of the New York style bagels. It was obvious that the boil before bake method was used. Thank you Bodo bagels for the experience. Although, I hope that whenever I come next, the speakers are on read more

Really enjoyed the ambiance and bagels while in town. You can tell a lot of locals frequent this place. The prices are extremely reasonable and despite the line going out the door, service was quick. The reason for me to give 4 stars is they don't toast their bagels. I can respect that and still enjoyed what I got, but typically I'm a toasted bagel girlie. read more

Wowww. I'm not the biggest bagel person but I was surprised by these. I got an everything bagel with egg and bacon. It was ready shortly after. Dang, it was surprisingly good. So simple yet so good. The bagels are chewy and flavorful and just... the way a bagel should be! I really enjoyed it. My boyfriend got his bagel with egg and sausage and we both preferred the bacon one more. read more

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

Bodos is an adorable, fast paced bagel shop. It's not quite the authentic new york bagel but in my opinion it's better. There are three Charlottesville locations and they all operate very similar. If you want to be with the college kids, visit the corner/university ave. The Emmet St and Preston locations have slightly nicer restrooms and more Charlottesville regulars. The college kids are obsessed with this place because of the cheap prices and quick filling meal. My friends also love their lemonade- perfect to quench your thirst on a sunny day. I personally love the fast paced (it's the only place in central VA that takes lines/traffic seriously!) and I think the bagel benches (pictured below) are adorable! They also supply some high charlie's so you can usually spot some cute young kids and their families at the Emmet and Preston locations. Sometimes you can even overhear some college kids gossiping at the corner location. The bodos staff is always wearing masks, always very nice, and always very quick at their jobs. read more

I went to school in Charlottesville and what can I say besides I LOVE Bodo's! Known as a staple for locals and visitors alike, Bodo's always delivers fresh bagels, lip-smacking cream cheese, fast service, and a super satisfying breakfast or snack. Here are some of my fave combos: * Plain bagel with herb cream cheese, tomato, cucumber, onion, and Swiss, cut in half * Plain bagel with avocado, feta, swiss, pesto, tomato * Plain bagel with vegetable cream cheese, egg, cheddar and tomato cut in half read more

Stopped into Bodo's Bagels on the recommendation of a friend as we passed through Charlottesville on our way to D.C. and are definitely glad to have made the stop! This place is a well oiled machine, they do just a few things and all of them well. If you're looking for an expansive menu of bagel flavors, crazy cream cheese concoctions, or a zany sandwich, you won't find it here. That said, they do have a selection that I think would make most anyone happy, and the bagels are delicious! I had a ham, turkey, and herb cream cheese on everything bagel. First thing I noticed of course was the fresh bagel! It was on the dense side which I like, and they didn't overdo it on the salt for the everything bagel. Sometimes I can taste an everything bagel in my throat for hours, this one did not leave me with that unpleasantness. The ham, turkey, and herb cream cheese was generously applied. It made for a great sandwich! I really loved the herb cream cheese, it was almost like a pickle dip. Lots of dill in their mixture. Having had an excellent quick meal, we decided to bring a half dozen bagels and an order of that herb cream cheese with us to our destination. I can definitely see us making this stop again in the future! read more

Absolute best bagel spot ever. No one can compete with Bodo's. If you end up coming in during the busy lunch rush and the line is out the door DO NOT turn around. The staff know how to work a line and it goes by incredibly fast. Tons of options for what ever mood you're in. My go tos: everything bagel, chicken salad, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and sprouts or everything bagel, turkey, lettuce, avocado, herb cream cheese or a Turkey Cleo salad. Bodo's has the best fresh chewy bagels. I crave Bodo's regularly and I'm so thankful to work close to the Preston location. For how busy they always are the inside is incredibly clean and has ample parking. read more

This place is basic and offers tasty bagels and (mostly) yummy bagel sandwiches. Be aware that you are asked to assemble your sandwich ingredient by ingredient, so step back and figure that out before you step up to order. I had a corned beef bagelwich and it was delicious! Top quality meat, no fat and more importantly no gristle. My partner ordered the Tofu which was a mistake- big mistake. This is a thick plank of uncooked, unflavored tofu. So unfortunate, given that mine was sooooo yummy! Bodo, do you hate your vegan customers? You could have had marinated cooked tofu, or made a tofu "egg salad", but damn! Also, something else to be aware of is that there are NO refills on anything except water or tea. I asked the friendly gal at the counter if the drinks were fountain drinks and she said yes, so I assumed that meant a self-service fountain. Nope. Ok, you live and learn. Definitely would return here, although my SO might squawk. read more

I am a bagel snob from the Northeast,and all I can say about this place is WOW! Bagels are well-made and perfect texture (a little crunch on the outside/soft and doughy inside). I had an egg and bacon sandwich on a salt bagel. It was delicious and less than $5! I was only visiting for the weekend. Otherwise, I'd probably grab breakfast here every day read more

Bodo's Bagels - Egg and bacon on a salt bagel - amazing! - Bagels Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The most prominent bagelry in Charlottesville has a retro vibe, but some forward-thinking options. Notably, they offer numerous vegetarian components for building a bagel sandwich, including a NoBull pattie (a local lentil-based veggie burger that is really the only one I buy for myself at home), locally made tofu, and numerous spreads and toppings. I wasn't convinced that getting watercress was really worth it for the amount that I got, but my sandwich was fresh and tasty, if a little messy. Another intriguing newfangled option is the house seltzers. Mine with a light tangerine flavor was enjoyable, and I wouldn't have ordered a high-calorie beverage. And I got out of there under ten bucks after leaving a tip, which as I write is two gallons of gas. And of course the bagels themselves are pretty good too. read more
