    Hobo bagel
    David S.

    This was our favorite place for many years, but it's consistently gotten worse over the last year. They are often closed with no warning they run out of items constantly this morning. They only had a few bagels to choose from. The bagel sandwiches for ice cold the egg bagel in this picture looks like it didn't even rise, but they sell it anyway very disappointed with this establishment.

    Everything bagel with supposed chive cream cheese
    Jayne E.

    2 stars for customer service but friends, this is NOT the Brooklyn Bagel that I'm used to. The bagel itself is really yeasty in taste (almost like it's undercooked), under seasoned and the cream cheese spread ... well, you see. I'm so disappointed in my birthday breakfast.

    Not my first time here, but a couple times and I usually come here to get the regular bagel or bagel with lox spread and i think my first time when i came a while back i got a Williamsburg which is my main favorite, but this time i got a bagel with lox spread with asiago bagel and ham egg and cheese bagel with garlic bagel The bagels are huge made with New York water they taste good I mean the bagels. The service is always great help and friendly very nice. The store was clean and quiet at 9am came out while i was sitting on the stools to wait so not that long of a wait. Will come back again of course~

    Great bagels, good service. Good prices. First time having egg bagels, very good! The manhattan was so good!

    Asiago bagel w/ cream cheese
    Julius R.

    Bagel is good, bigger than normal. Quick service but then again there were only two customers including me, server is friendly. Typical ambience of a coffee shop nothing to complain about overall a decent experience on a quiet afternoon and the price is reasonable

    The manhattan??

    The staff were nice enough, the cafe is small and intimate. The interior is decorated in a way that reflect some aspects Brooklyn pop culture. My breakfast sandwich was expensive. I paid a little over 15 dollars for one sandwich; however, the sandwich was amazing. Simply one of the best breakfast sandwich's I've ever had. The shop appears to be decently popular with locals as many of the different bagel varieties were unavailable when i arrived (before noon on a weekday). Unfortunately they are not a local chain, this is the only location so it won't be my go to spot but it'll will definitely make for a nice treat every so often.

    My favorite bagel spot in VB! The bagels are so good and are very fresh. My go-to is the NOBO bagel and the jalapeño cream cheese! Very much NY style, the space is small and usually crowded so don't necessarily expect to find in. Service is quick!

    Rainbow bagel with egg and potato's

    I've been wanting to try BB ever since it opened but due to their hours I haven't been able to - they're closed on Mondays (my day off lol) but I was finally able to venture over the other day. It was so great!! I'm from New York and I can appreciate a fantastic bagel, other bagel shops in town just don't compare to BB! I've heard that they ship their water from NYC for the PH level, and I guess it really does make a difference! We got rainbow bagel sandwiches which were huge and yummy. The sweetened iced coffee was also delish. There isn't much seating inside, mainly a counter along the wall with stools. We were lucky to go on a nice day, there is some patio seating that was great. I can't wait to venture back!

    The business owner indicated in their response that I ordered my sandwich with lettuce. WHERE does it say that?
    Sylvie C.

    Contrary to what the owner stated, there has not been any refund issued. But I did receive a trolling message from the same owner instead. I think someone has forgotten that A) I am still the customer. B) I am not the one who made mistakes on my order including how to spell my name. Just saying.

    Always so yummy! Best bagels around! The service is phenomenal and food is delicious. BBs sweet coffee is the perfect complement!

    Tried them again, and my bagel was amazing! Perfect balance of butter & cream cheese. Love the perfect amount of salt this everything bagel has.

They are located behind the Panera Bread and can be seen from Upton Dr. My most recent visit here was on January 18, 2026. From the outside, you can see the sign for the business on the side and out front. There is some limited outdoor seating as well. With other businesses along that stretch and such, parking can be limited during peak times. I can attest to that as parking was limited when I came on January 16, 2026 (this wasn't an issue on the most recent visit). The reason for two visits pretty close together was because this was during Virginia Beach Restaurant Week. The visit on January 16, 2026 was for dinner and the visit on January 18, 2026 was for breakfast. Starting with the dinner visit on January 16, 2025, it was already pretty busy in there as there was a large party event going on with half of the seating area. This probably explains why parking was limited that evening. Even though that was the case, we were immediately greeted and able to be seated. It wasn't long before our server Megan came to the table. She asked us what we wanted to drink. I went with water with lemon and mom got a coke. It would take us a bit of time to choose what we wanted. I ended up going with the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer and Fried Shrimp Platter for the entree. My mom went with the Corn Chowder appetizer and Crab Cake Dinner as the entree. After about five minutes, the appetizers came out to the table. The Firecracker Shrimp were very tasty and flavorful. My mom loved the Corn Chowder that she ordered. About ten minutes after that, the entrees came to the table. Both foods looked good and they were hot as expected. I really liked the fried shrimp as it wasn't overly breaded either. It had a great taste. The fries were good too, and they were like an indulgence for me. The coleslaw was good too. My mom liked the Crab Cake Dinner that she had. The last part was the dessert. I knew this would spike my blood sugars, but I went with the Peanut Butter Pie, and my mom went with the Oreo Outlaw dessert. It didn't take long for those to come out, and that was the ultimate indulgence to finish off the evening. The second visit during the morning on January 18, 2026 for the Breakfast/Lunch version of their restaurant week menu. This was the first time I had been here for breakfast. We had the same server we had a few days before at the dinner version. On this visit, for the appetizer, I decided to try the Risotto Bites and my mom had the Corn Chowder again. For the entree, we both did the Classic French Toast, though I did mine with bacon, and my mom did hers with Edwards Sausage. The Risotto Bites were really good and had a nice flavor to them. The Classic French Toast was a great indulgence for me too. It was soft and hot. The bacon was great too. Overall, I have had some great experiences here recently. The food and service are top notch. There is ample seating inside, and there is some limited outdoor seating. They have daily food specials during the week too. This is definitely a locally owned place to check out for any meal of the day.

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.

The food arrived pretty quickly. I ordered the veggie lovers omelette without the mushrooms and w/ biscuits and potatoes. Everything tasted fresh and not too greasy. I thought the addition of avocados without the upcharge was nice. Too bad they didn't have marmalade for jelly choices but if that's the only complaint I have, I'd say it's pretty good. I wouldn't mind returning again in the future thanks to the nice service and decent food with good portions and pricing.

They've made some updates since my last review. I noticed they swapped out the bar stools for what seem to be a bit more accommodating in style. They added cushion to the church benches, although they are a bit "grippy". They updated the other bar and also the outside area. I believe they have a cornhole section and from what I could tell, an area that could be really fun during the warmer months. The overall vibe is so quirky, cool, different, and I just love how it's decorated. The other locations have the same sort of intrigue but in much different ways. I still love the OG Bay Local and probably need to visit there again to be reminded of why we fell in love in the first place, but the location on General Booth... hard to beat, especially being so close. Another positive is the food quantity, quality, and price for what you are getting. Sure, almost every food establishment had to raise their price, but Bay Local seem to be very reasonable, ESPECIALLY for what you get. I know several other places that have good food, but you are paying several dollars more for what Bay Local offers that is similar (in some cases) but not slacking on portion control and quality. That is huge! Bay Local is a "well-oiled machine" with management, staff, and operations (not their first rodeo). The staff are attentive, friendly, fast in service, including fixing anything that may not have been correct, and still hold the quality of what they offer. Congrats to a great establishment, and it will remain on the top slots of our brunch list!

They were busy but hustling, not a long wait at all even though it was a Sunday during prime time. The waitresses were attentive & fast paced. Everyone worked as a team so no one was forgotten which was great. 10/10 recommend & I cannot wait to go back. This location does have tight parking and because the location is a little small, accommodating large groups seemed to be possible but with a wait & a little tricky. Best bet would be to call ahead for groups larger than 4 & be patient while waiting. Bar area is first come first serve (there's 2 bar locations, one central dining and one small one in the back of house). Come in hungry & ready to be kind to wait staff as they are totally kicking butt at their service game! :)
