The first sip of coffee was prime 2019 Dunkin Latte. I haven't had coffee that good since the first time I tried it. My bagel? Made to order and beyond. I think it cured me.

As I entered, I noticed how welcoming the atmosphere was. It was so peaceful and calming and the staff just had such a welcome energy which is honestly hard to come by. As I walked towards the register, this wonderful lady with amazing colored hair, I think her name was Annele? well she was amazing. She was so patient with my order, such great recommendations, and just such a nice vibe. She definitely needs a raise! I ordered 2 lox and cream, ol Virginia (I think that's the name) and 2 cold brews! These were for my friends minus one of the lox and cream. GOLLY, the lox and cream was so divine. Melts in your mouth, great smoky flavor. Everything was just perfect. Definitely will come back!

We also got cinnamon bagel with cream cheese, eggs and Reuben (I think). Fresh and good portion. Staff were friendly. She answered our questions patiently and she was very nice.

This is one of the most sought after dining spot in downtown Richmond, VA. On Sunday morning, we…read morearrived at the location 10 minutes prior to opening at 9 am and there were already few people waiting outside. The staff opened the door right on time. The inside of the store was old school setup with booths and a huge full service bar. 15 minutes within opening, the restaurant was full in capacity. The menu had lots of exciting brunch dishes, appetizers, salads, soups and deli section as well. There were plenty of cocktails, beer and wines choices available too. Prices were decent. I picked the Jewish Sailor that was a combo of toast with pastrami and beef sausage with red onion and mustard. When the dish came, it looked so scrumptious. Loved the flavor of the pastrami, the crunchy sausages, crispy toast bread, coleslaw all of it. I also got to try the pierogis that were delicious as well. The service was good overall. Our waitress was attentive, while managing several tables at the same time. The dishes came out quickly despite being busy. Overall the experience lived up to the expectations.

Funny enough, I actually heard about Baltik's Bagels while I was in Spain at Si Si Bagels. The…read moreowner told me they had won 3rd place in the "Best International" category at New York BagelFest 2025. I had no idea there was even a BagelFest in NYC, so naturally I looked it up. That's when I discovered that Baltik's Bagels in Richmond had won the People's Choice Award at that same BagelFest. I bookmarked it, forgot all about it, and then completely by coincidence I happened to drive right past it on my way home from DC. The first thing I noticed? This place was PACKED. It was a Saturday, so that's to be expected, but it's always a good sign when a restaurant is that busy. Actually, come to think of it, there wasn't even any parking left. I ended up parking over at the nearby Food Lion. Again, another good sign. I ordered the River City Sunrise with sausage, scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, scallion cream cheese, and normally it's served on their signature Everything SOFTIE™, their softer take on a traditional bagel that's made specifically for breakfast sandwiches. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the SOFTIE bagels when I visited, which honestly made me a little nervous because I've bitten into some hockey puck bagels in my lifetime. I swapped it for a jalapeño cheddar bagel instead and added chipotle mayo for a little razzle dazzle. BABY. When I took that first bite back in my car, that was THEE best bagel breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life. The bagel had the perfect chew without being tough, the eggs were fluffy, the sausage was flavorful, and that chipotle mayo tied everything together perfectly. Thank God I don't live nearby because I'd be here EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. before work. Another thing I loved was the self serve coffee bar. You can make your own hot or iced coffee exactly how you like it with regular or oat milk and a variety of flavors and sweeteners. It was the perfect pick me up before finishing the second half of my drive from DC back to Hampton Roads. All in all, Baltik's Bagels absolutely lived up to the hype. After eating there, I completely understand why they won the People's Choice Award at the 2025 New York BagelFest. If you're anywhere near Richmond, do yourself a favor and make the stop. Just don't expect to find easy parking because that crowd is there for a reason.

I could not be happier with this darling new location (unless they had an apartment upstairs where…read moreI could live). I remember when the bakery was a tiny hole in the wall just off Broad Street, easy to miss walking by. No longer. The new location is a beautiful corner shop, with better parking, better lighting, better seating, and even more space for the amazing baked goods we know and love. I would recommend an individual thing but it doesn't matter. Short of an allergy, nothing you can have there is a bad idea. Pain chocolate? Amazing. Kouign-amann? Surprisingly soft and fluffy. Thai iced coffee? Smooth, strong, not too sweet, and beautifully refreshing. I can't wait until the pasteles de nata are back on my hands. So should you try it? Hell, I'm house-hunting now so I can move closer.

It's curated without being precious. I came for lunch and got a pastrami sandwich that I'm still thinking about. Thick like a textbook, moist, flavorful. I don't think I've ever actually had real pastrami until that sandwich. My only real critique is the location. It sits along Broad Street near Willow Lawn and it's one of those places you drive past a dozen times without ever stopping. Slightly hard to access, easy to overlook. That's a shame because this isn't a casual grab-and-go -- it's a destination, even if the vibe is completely unpretentious. A friend suggested it and it made my day. The Greek radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s covers of songs I grew up with didn't hurt either. Next time I'm not trying to make just one meal of it.
