One of my favorite bagel spots in RVA! Always tastes fresh with the perfect outer crust and chewy/soft interior. They have a plethora of flavors with our favorites a simple salted bagel and the rosemary salted bagel. The bagel sandwiches - specifically their breakfast sammies are definitely the way to go here and you can customize with add-ons and choice of cream cheeses. They have a wide selection of cream cheeses and seasonal varieties. The basic bagel and cream cheese combo here I find too heavy on the cream cheese almost off putting but I'm sure that's just my preference and probably could ask for light smear if wanted. Lines can get long on the weekends but service has always been very fast!! read more

Chewy’s Bagels - Breakfast Sammie with scallion cream cheese with bacon added on a rosemary sea salt bagel - Bagels Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Hands down 5 stars! This is one of the best bagel shops in the area based on shop space, cleanliness, service and food. It fit all the boxes. It is definitely a local favorite, so sometimes seating is a challenge just like parking. It happens to be in the small parking lot in Carytown where there are usually 6-7 cars ( Did you get it?) looking endlessly for a space or just blocking everyone else. You always have the option to just park on Cary Street. It is worth it. On this visit, we had to try the Lox Bagel Sandwich on an Asiago bagel which comes in this cute box that if you detach its corner, it can transform into a plate. You're welcome. Anyways, the fresh dill on it is good. I love how they make it into 2 open-faced bagels with the goods. Feels like you got a 2 for 1 deal. Worth a try. The next one was recommended by the cashier. I always ask for recommendation or what's popular. He said to try the Swiss Melt on an Asiago bagel. Wow! You don't even taste the onions because they're caramelized and paired with fig jam. Chef kiss. It has a sweetness to it, but not overpowering if that makes sense. The coffee is great and they have at least 3 flavors to try. Definitely coming back over and over again. read more

So glad I finally had the opportunity to try this place. Arrive before 9am to avoid the super long line (but if you have to wait, it's definitely worth it). The customer service was great and the shop was so cute. There was a good amount of seating and the menu had lots of options. I went with the classic bacon,egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. Very delicious! Also, their chocolate chip cookies are so buttery and soft, I'll definitely be back! read more

I live around the corner so it's one of those neighborhood things you do, stopping by and get a bagel in the morning. And it's growing on me. I grew up eating NY bagels and it's still the one thing I do when I go back. Bagels outside of NY never seemed to do the job. So the idea of sourdough bagel was not what I expected. Yet Chewy's made it work. The chewiness is on point! I also like their roasted garlic cream cheese. There is always a line since they open Wed to Sunday. But they started to open 7am this year so get there early ;) read more

I came here specifically for the bagels, and they did not disappoint. Even though the place was pretty busy, I was impressed by how quickly I got my order. I got the Swiss melt; which was really good! I love a sweet salty combo. Prices were reasonable, and the staff was genuinely kind and welcoming. There's also plenty of seating if you want to sit and enjoy your food, get some work done, or just relax. I'd definitely come back; I'm excited to try some of their sandwiches! read more

I had a great vegan experiejce at Chewy's this morning! My sesame bagel with vegan cream cheese and capers was wonderful. The bagels are really good. Not quite NY style but hey, we're in Virginia. They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside though which absolutely hits the spot as someone from the NorthEast! All their bagels are vegan **besides Asiago and choc chip (obviously if they have a suspicious weekly special bagel just ask). They even have vegan monkey bread but I didn't try that today. read more

this place is fantastic. I got the smoked salmon with capers on the salted sourdough bagel. Sublime experience. We got a couple other bagels to go, which were amazing at home. And their house made cream cheese cheeses were very good. I will say it was not a huge fan of the Cortado that was made. It was very bitter. A little bit of the coffee snob coming out in me. But overall, this is five stars. read more

I visited Chuy's for my first time and was not disappointed. I went on a Sunday morning. It was packed! The line was to the door. I observed you're able to place an order at the register or do a mobile online pick up, the latter being the route I may take next time. As for this visit I was ready to order by the time I made it to the register. The lady who cashed me out was friendly. You're provided with a ticket that has your number and you just wait for it to be called. There were maybe 5-6 tables inside and a couple bistro tables outside, but I got my order to go as it was so busy. The bagel itself was phenomenal. I ordered the sea salt and rosemary bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was packed to the brim with cream cheese. My was around $5 dollars, but it so well worth it. You can tell the bread was fresh. I can't wait to go back and check out some of their other bagel varieties. read more

I stopped by after I got off of a night shift. I got myself and my husband the route 60 and added egg. OMG delicious. Packed with toppings and fresh eggs. Trust their signature sandwiches and you won't be disappointed. The team was nice and there's a decent amount of seating inside. Parking is hit or miss since it's in carytown. However early in the morning their parking lot was only half full. read more

Quick service, nice staff. It's nice that you can order online in advance so you don't have to wait (surprisingly not much of a line despite how good this place is). I've ordered in person and online. I crave these bagels. Good chew, good tang. The cream cheese is generous and so flavorful. I've been loving the berry cream cheese, but their scallion is a great go-to. I've tried a few of the different bagel flavor options here and they are all excellent. Good pricing for the quality. If I lived in Carytown I'd be here everyday. read more

a wonderful place - not a hidden gem by any means, people hype this one up for good reason. overall really excited to have a reliable bagel spot that's not as trendy, modern/sleek, etc - sometimes you want an old fashioned, reliably fresh, brick and mortar bagel establishment that reminds you of your hometown spot and Chewy's bagels is just that for me. As a meat-eating enthusiast, getting the Route 60 was a shot in the heart - but man did it deliver still. Trust your instincts - order the popular item, it's popular for good reason :) read more

I love chewys bagels. Ever since I tried their rosemary sea salt bagel I was hooked. I got introduced to their bagels through a coffee shop but now I go right to the source. Pretty easy parking, line is long but they are very efficient getting people through and fed. I have loved every flavor that I've tried but the two favorites are still rosemary sea salt and their Asiago. read more

I had a classic open faced sandwich with plain cream cheese, red onion, capers, dill, lox, on your choice of bagel, and OMG!!! It was so delicious, bagel was so fresh and tasty. The staff were so friendly and the place was so clean. Highly recommended. read more

Really delicious bagels and bagel sandwich filling options. We ordered a couple bagel sandwiches to-go (both vegetarian): 1) Plain bagel with Scallion cream cheese, garlic mayo, caramelized onions, tomato, red onions, roasted red peppers, Swiss cheese 2) Everything bagel, garlic cream cheese, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, red onions, tomatoes, roasted red bell peppers Absolutely delicious! I loveee garlic and the garlic cream cheese was nice and flavorful. Bagels were chewy but still soft, and although we packed stuff into each sandwich, not tooo much fell out while eating. All in all, would come here again - this rivals my favorite Bodo's Bagels in Charlottesville (and even has more toppings), which is saying a lot. read more

I had really high expectations for Chewy's from all the raving things I've heard. It seemed to be like any other bagel shop to me, good but nothing to run home about. I went on a Saturday around noon and there was a short line and wait. All the seating areas were filled. They sold out of maybe half the bagel options. They do have an online order option if you don't want to wait and/or risk your preference being sold out. I really liked the rosemary sea salt bagel with scallion cream cheese. I don't use rosemary often so it made me reminiscent of Thanksgiving. It was too chewy though until I toasted it. I didn't enjoy the breakfast sammie as much. It was extremely greasy and in the photo you can see the outer bagel is soaked in grease. Overall I will continue the search for a bagel to satisfy my NY craving but I also wouldn't be opposed to coming back. read more

Breakfast sandwiches are a big thing in RVA. I have to admit the Chewys is my favorite place to grab one! I love the unique way that they make these bagels are made of sour dough and are hand rolled. It's a great option for anyone who likes bagels but is gluten sensitive, but gluten sensitivity aside the bagel taste amazing and are toasted to perfection. Here you can make your own combination of ingredients or choose any of their specialty bagel sandwiches. You can also grab a bags of any of their bagel flavors such a plain, everything bagel, marble rye, and more. There's also a refrigerator section filled with house made cream cheese. The freshness and quality of the ingredients is unmatched. My favorite combination is a plain bagel with cheddar cheese, an egg, and fresh dill. If you're craving something sweet try some of their cookies, muffins, or monkey bread. The location overall is quite small with only a few seating options inside and a couple tables outside. The park is available on the street. If you don't want to worry about finding a chair or having to wait in line for a bagel (which is quite typical especially on the weekends) I suggest ordering online so you can swing in and grab & go. You won't regret it! read more

Striking out on finding a brunch spot on a Sunday, we joined the line at Chewy's Bagels inside an Art Deco strip mall. After waiting 15 minutes, we ordered. Grabbing a small table inside, our bagels were ready within 10 minutes. Not bad for a busy morning! Their bagels are sourdough and very chewy. My daughter enjoyed her plain bagel with plan cream cheese and my wife and I loved the breakfast sammies with ham on a sesame bagel. If you love bagels, go here! read more

Chewy's does make very good bagels, that's the reason I've continued to come back. Unfortunately, the customer service has been consistently poor, and after multiple experiences, it's hard to justify returning. There's an ongoing attitude here that customers are inconveniences rather than people being served. It often feels like they're doing you a favor simply by allowing you to order. Two experiences stand out: On one visit, my mother was dealing with a medical issue and urgently needed to eat. We arrived while the store was still open, with about 10 minutes until closing. Even after calmly explaining the situation, we were refused service outright. I understand boundaries around closing time, but there was zero compassion or flexibility shown. Most recently, I was purchasing a dozen bagels and noticed pre-bagged bulk bagels in plastic bags off to the side. Since I was traveling and needed the bagels to stay fresh for a couple of days, I asked if mine could be placed in those same bags. The first cashier was kind and said yes. Then another employee stepped in (green hair) and made several unnecessary side comments about how "they don't do that" and how the bags "wouldn't keep them fresher anyway." The tone was dismissive and uncomfortable, especially considering I was spending a significant amount of money and simply asking for a reasonable accommodation. It's disappointing because the product is good but good bagels don't excuse consistently poor, unfriendly service. I want to support local businesses, but being treated like an annoyance makes that difficult. read more

We loved this place for breakfast today. The bagel display was probably the most attractive bagel display I've ever seen. The sourdough bagels were delicious. My son said this was the best bagel he's ever had. We got breakfast sammies on everything and plain bagels and a lox bagel. We really loved our food. The staff was nice and the restaurant was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend! read more

Vibe: busy, loud and limited seating but we were able to get a table for our girls Sunday brunch and boy what an experience. The only negative is they call your order over a loud crowd and it's hard to hear but we made due. Service: amazing on a busy Sunday! The cashier was super patient and helpful in navigating the menu. Food: get the bagels! They were amazing the breakfast sandwich with sourdough everything is what I opted for! Get it! Only downside was a bit over-toasted (I asked for lightly toasted but she may not have heard me over the chatter) which makes the topping more bitter but I still ate every bite! My Sissy had an amazing sandwich also, she couldn't finish it but it was so good! Go to Chewy's! read more

All about the bread/carbs so I have to give some yelp love to Chewy's We've picked up Chewys at farmers markers and local shops multiple times, and while they were always good, we wondered what they would taste like fresh out of the oven so when they opened a store in Carytown, we of course had to stop in. These are sourdough bagels so they are chewier (more dense) which is very different from a classic NY bagel. I am in LOVE with the rosemary seasalt with pimento cream cheese! Hubby likes cinnamon raisin Be prepared to wait in line on the weekends, it does move reasonably well. Staff is always friendly. A few tables inside and on the sidewalk outside Service Food~Taste/flavor/quality Presentation Atmosphere/vibe Value read more

I wanted a really good bagel for lunch and ended up at Chewy's Bagels. The inside was cute and had a local vibe. I loved the wide variety of bagels and spreads/toppings they offered! Unfortunately, they ran out of egg and sausage by 11 am. My boyfriend chose an Asiago bagel with turkey, caramelized onions, cheese, and scallion cream cheese. I had been craving the egg and sausage, so I settled for a simple blueberry bagel with cinnamon cream cheese and also ordered an iced vanilla latte for a caffeine boost. The bagel was delicious and loaded with cream cheese! As the name suggests, it was perfectly chewy!! I also tried a bite of my boyfriend's bagel, and it was tasty too. However, the coffee was awful, with a strong burnt aftertaste that made me not finish it. I'll definitely return (earlier) to try more options before they run out! read more

Great spot for a local bagel in Richmond! I really like going on the weekends, though reader beware, you will likely wait about 20 minutes between the line and actually having your order made. The staff is very nice and efficient though. It's a cute place to eat if you can find a table, but being so popular it is sometimes hard to find a spot. If you go, try the rosemary sea salt bagel! It's out of this world! read more

I've been wanting to try Chewy's for a long time now. All my friends love it and I've read/heard nothing but great reviews. Perhaps my expectations were too high? I really enjoyed my bagels, but found them to be a bit tough for my liking. I was told to order ahead by my mega Chewy fan friends. I'm glad I did this because I didn't have to wait in the line. You can do this on their website. There is a good amount of seating inside and two tables outside. I enjoyed my first Chewy's experience outside. I ordered a poppy seed bagel with vegan cream cheese. As someone who is in denial about being lactose intolerant, I decided to be kind to my body and opt for a dairy free option. I highly recommend not getting the vegan cream cheese if you have problems with texture. I'm not one to be bothered by textures, but something about this vegan cheese really threw me off. It was a bit waxy and reminded me of a darker colored vaseline. It didn't sit well with me. I scrapped a lot of it off. And my bagel was a bit tough to eat. Since everyone I love is obsessed with Chewy's, I wanted to give them more than one chance. The next time I ordered takeout with their everything bagel and did their breakfast sammie with added bacon jam. This was so much better and I enjoyed it a lot more. I was concerned the bacon jam would be too sweet, but it was just right for me, especially since it was mixed with other things like cheese, egg, and the bagel. I think as a whole the breakfast sammie worked well. I'm happy to have finally tried this spot. It's in a great location for me. I love having places I can bike to. Although I'm not as crazy about it as other people, I'd think about trying it again at a later time. read more

Chewy's was good, but I did not feel like it lived up to the hype that I've heard all around Richmond. I got a chocolate chip bagel with cinnamon and sugar cream cheese, and it was good but nothing fantastic. My friend got a bagel sandwich and we both felt like the bagels were a bit soggy. I think they could've used more toasting. Prices aren't bad; I would be willing to give it another try. They have a lot of options and I wouldn't mind trying some of their other bagels. read more

This shop was really cute and easy to get to. Me and my friend did end up coming later in the day which meant they were out of a lot of stuff like eggs and asiago bagels but otherwise this was really good. The bagels were all sourdough which was good. They had a lot of cream cheese to chose from and a good selection of veggies and proteins. I ended up getting an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, and avocado. There were a few places to sit inside and the service was very quick.
