As a New Yorker I will confirm, NY Bagel cafe was exactly what my heart was yearning for here in the 757. The moment I walked in I knew I was in for a treat. Highly recommend. read more

NY Bagel Cafe is one of the best places to get bagels in Virginia Beach. The taste instantly took me back to classic bagels you'd find in New Jersey or New York. I ordered a steak and egg sandwich on an everything bagel, and it was fantastic . The customer service is outstanding, and the atmosphere makes a good place to kick back and relax and enjoy a meal. I highly recommend giving NY Bagel Cafe a try! read more

Not my best experience, normally the staff is GREAT! But one person can ruin the experience. The plump Caucasian lady with the died hair working the cash register and answering the phone needs to be assigned a different job. I called in after placing my order on line and was out on hold for 8 minutes. Called back on the way to the restaurant arrived, still on hold no one in line, I was told the line was out the door, she exaggerated! Seems she just can't multi task. And she is not the normal one on the register but is your the front facing person. Wonder how call in orders lost due to her. Well I got more order and I'll try again next week. read more

Smell of in house fresh baked bagels fill the air as you enter. Seating for 8 is available but mostly friendly for takeout order. Ordered hungry man's breakfast on jalapeño and cheddar bagel and spinach, feta and egg white on egg bagel, both toasted. Packaged to go in paper bag. Service to take your order at counter is quick but wait of 20 minutes. read more

The bagels were huge, flavorful, fluffy and soft. The prices are fair and portions were fine. We visited on a Sunday morning and ordered a breakfast sausage, egg, and cheese bagel, a breakfast platter (2 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns), and six bagels. It took 30 minutes to receive our order!!!! 30 minutes for what seemed like it could have been a drive through order at Dunkin next door! To be fair - They DID tell us at check out that it would be around that wait time, but my head cannot understand why it takes that long, even with a line ... we could have sat down at a proper breakfast place and had a better hot meal for around the same price. (Their breakfast sandwich's sausage portion was kind of sad) There is seating available but keep in mind most people are sitting waiting or standing around the lobby instead of actually eating their food inside. I would definitely come back for their bagels but skip any hot food that needs to be cooked or prepared a la carte. read more

Cute lil spot to grab a bite. I've been craving a good bagel for the past week, and finally had the time to go get one. I got there about 30-40 minutes before closing, and placed my order 10 minutes after that. Their menu all sounded really good, but I went for what I had been wanting for a while, which is lox. I got in on a plain bagel seeing as they were close to closing and there wasn't a ton of options. I also just wanted to see how good their basic was. I got it toasted with their lox cream cheese spread, and it took about 5 minutes maybe? Very quick, which I appreciated. I was also the only one in the cafe, so I suppose it would be quick considering the circumstances. I immediately got to work in the car, since I had places to be and they had already put all the chairs up, and it was a lot! It was a good size bagel, and lots of cream cheese, which I LOVE!! However, this was very dense and rich and a bit one note, like it needed something fresh to go with like cucumber slices or lettuce to break through it a bit. I ate half and was pretty full, and later added cucumber to the other half, which did help. The bagel itself was warm and crisped up a little, good bouncy bread. The staff were also friendly and chill while ordering, and I definitely plan to be back. I highly recommend if you're craving a bagel, price is right and food is nice! read more

Eh. My first time here and upon entry, I heard "N*%%a, b^*ch, and f*#k" even BEFORE I even made it to the counter! Yes, their music choice playing on the tv at the front door was "Trippy" by J.Cole. I'm all for ambiance music, but in an establishment that has an array of customers, the music should at least respect the diversity of the consumer. It was a turn off for me. I don't know if the food was good or not, I never even ordered. read more

I grew up in Montreal, so I grew up with a different kind of bagel, the best kind. I can't find Montreal bagels around these parts, so the bagels at NY Bagel Cafe seems like the next best thing! Taking into consideration the type of bagels I find in America (huge, dense and tiny hole), these were pretty good. I heard the family is from upstate, so that is already a good start, considering New Yorkers are known for their bagels. For my first visit, I ordered a breakfast bagel with egg, bacon, mozzarella on an everything bagel, toasted. Wow, this bad boy was pretty generous in size and I was stuffed by the end. I should have saved half and saved the other half for later. BUT, there it wasn't. It was gone. Again, for an American bagel, the exterior of the bagel had a nice outer crust, crispy with a nice, even distribution of the everything seasoning. Asking them to toast the bagel for the sandwich was definitely a nice move. The interior of the bagel is dense and chewy. If you squeeze the bagel, it had a nice bounce to it. The egg was cooked perfectly, over hard (but just cooked enough without it being rubbery), bacon crispy and the mozz had just melted enough. I also ordered a baker's dozen to take home, a mix of jalapeno cheddar, everything, sesame, blueberry and French Toast. I really appreciated the fact that they wrapped the French Toast in parchment paper before adding it to the baker's dozen. They definitely get bonus points for that. It is dusted with some powdered sugar, so it's a nice gesture to be like "before you ask, we thought of it already, here's your sweet bagel not touching your savory ones". It will take me awhile to get through the baker's dozen, even with help. The bagels are so large, I can only get through one half at a time. So, before they grow moldy, I already halved them some of them and froze them. Hope they freeze well! Stay tuned... Things to note: - during my visit, it was pretty busy. I think they have online ordering so try that if you're in a hurry. - limited seating. I saw 3 tables of which all were occupied. It's a pretty compact space for their kitchen and seating, so the tables seemed out of place with the long line forming. - they have a pretty good variety of flavors, but they make limited amounts of each, so if it's sold out, try again tomorrow. Enjoy, Friends and never stop exploring! read more

Super kind & hard working employees. The bagel was overall 6.5/10 based on flavor. It was beautiful to look at, that's for sure. Not much taste of the blueberry in the bagel (maybe because of the cream cheese) but there also wasn't a strong taste of strawberry either which was weird given that it seemed to be fresh berries in it. My boyfriend LOVEEEEEED his bacon egg & cheese. He gave it a 9.5/10 read more

Well. It has been a year or 2 since I have been here. And I'm probably not going to come back. Maybe things have changed since I have been there, but if someone is standing at the counter, it is usually a polite thing to acknowledge thir presence. Not just go about your business pretending you didnt see them. OR have a sign that says "please go around to cash register for assistance." There are 2 shelves for delivery drivers and the sign above the cash register say "Order Here". That's it. AND even if you dont help anyone at your display case/counter, you can certainly say "please come to register and we can assist you" or at least say hello. Not everyone is there to order or they may have had a simple question. It was rude and would have been easily fixed but yet 5 workers and NO acknowledgment. No smile or nod or anything. And the food? Not impressed today. The bagel was good. That hasn't changed, but the home fries were super salty that i could only eat them if i put them with the omelet which was not seasoned at all IMO. And to clarify, I ordered online because i was on my way to work. I looked on their delivery driver shelf and it wasn't there which is why I wa standing at the display case waiting to ask my question. The order said "door dash takeout" because i used door dash to auto fill my information to make it quicker. read more

I think we have an addiction to this place. We come at least once a week. Everytime it's just as good. I have tried a lot of different options. My favorite bagel so far is the jalapeno cheddar followed by the everything bagel which can be regular or the egg-based one. We also tried the sweet side of the French toast and the cinnamon raisin. I like the cinnamon raisin a little better. They're bacon is delicious and so is the sausage. I recently tried the turkey bacon which was a close third. My favorite of the cream cheese toppings is the jalapeno one. The chive needed more chives. I'd also like to try the veggie one. My usual is one of two, jalapeno cheddar bagel with egg, American cheese, and bacon or everything bagel with bacon or sausage, spinach, feta, and egg. The bagel sandwiches come with a free cup of coffee as a bonus. The condiments for the coffee are a little limited but you can always take it home and add your own. The shop is pretty small so we take it to go. You can also get any omelette as a sandwich or wrap. I'd like to try some of their lunch options but their breakfast is so darn good! read more

Good place for bagels. I would order ahead as there's always a long wait time. Pork roll egg bagel sandwich is my go to.

1st visit, good diverse crowd of customers, My Asiago Bagel Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich was Bursting With Flavor, the bacon Cas very generous as well. My sandwich was a good value, and service was good. The only detractor was the music playing on the selected video music channel, the song as the point we walked in was derogatory so my friend opted not to order. You guys may want to choose an instrumentals only channel so as not to offend. The shop and the food were both a thumbs up overall. read more

This is the closest mom and pop shop near me for bagels. At first they were delicious but then the portions changed. And the staff changed, I never see the same face. So I give them a try every so often to see if it will get better but after this visit it is a no going forward. I ordered several items but my breakfast sandwich ( bacon,egg,and cheese) ...1 piece of bacon for each side of my cut bagel. I asked for extra toasted. It is not toasted at all. They NEVER toast the bagel even when you ask. Even my receipt states heavy toasted. It is ashame because I would rather pay a mom and pop shop than go to corporate store. read more

OK this place is a legit NY bagel place. Loved it. On a Saturday around 10:00am the place was packed. The line was out the door. Come in and there are a few tables. Most of them were taken by people waiting for their orders. You order and pay at the counter then wait. We got bagels with cream cheese not toasted (because no self respected native NYer would do that). Our order came out quick because most people may have been waiting for breakfast sandwiches. The bagel was great soft in the middle and crispy on the outside. And the cream cheese was the best. Nice and fluffy just like I remember from back home. read more

Went on a Tuesday around 11:15 am. There weren't really any customers in the restaurant when I first arrived but while waiting to finally order, a group of people began coming in. I didn't like that I was the first of everyone in line to order but the last to receive my food. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese burger on a jalapeño cheddar bagel with Asiago cheese, lettuce, and home fries on the side. The burger looked like it would be tasty but it was just alright. It was really dry so I was happy I asked for ketchup on the side because it definitely needed it. The home fries weren't good and kind of burnt. Overall, I think the food was not that good and lacked flavor. I don't think I'll give them another try honestly. My overall rate of experience: 4/10 read more

OMGosh this place is amazing. We were staying overnight on our way thru Virginia and stumbled on this place (thankfully, because our hotel had a snafu with the complimentary breakfast and we had to get on the road). We got everything egg bagels with egg and bacon. Delicious! Bagel was fluffy and super tasty. Bacon and eggs cooked perfectly. Staff was friendly and all 8 people I saw were working very efficiently and in time with each other. Ambience was as expected and welcoming. Restroom was clean. We hope to come back on another trip. Thanks for a great meal! read more

Best bagel sandwich I've had in the 757. Came for a late breakfast and I was the only person there. My experience was immediately brought down from 5 stars to 4 stars due to the unfriendly staff. They looked at me when I walked in, said nothing and went back to whatever they were doing. The active ignoring style of customer service isn't my favorite. When I was ready to order, I said "excuse me" to get one of the employee's attention and they seemed annoyed. Not sure what the preference is to get service, but I obviously missed the memo. Other than unwelcoming service, the food was great. I got a breakfast sandwich on an asiago bagel. I chose taylor ham/pork roll and it was delicious! I also got a side of scallion cream cheese to go with it, which was also perfect! Total for the breakfast sandwich and cream cheese was almost $12, which seems super high, however, I would order it again. Food: 5 stars Service: 2 stars Hopefully they're more eager to serve their customers next time I come by! read more

Bagels aren't anything stellar, but the breakfast sandwich I had was still good. Came here to work for an hour this morning after an appointment. Seems like they need more seating.

Decent bagels that are ok if you are in the area. I went for a bacon, egg, cheese on an everything bagel, and the sandwich was fine. Unfortunately, the cashier or the cook mixed up my order, but it wasn't a huge deal. While the service was a bit cold (I guess they want you to have an NYC experience ), it was pretty fast. I will admit that the prices were a bit higher than I expected for the area. I've lived in NYC for years and rarely paid more than $8 bucks for a breakfast bagel. That said, it wasn't crazy expensive. read more

First time going to NY BAGEL CAFE, Small eatery, but extremely friendly and open food preparation area, you can see the entire process from start to finish. Staff hustles to get the order out as well as immensely quick replenishment of bagels . I ordered the bagel blast with cream cheese and lox. I didn't open my order until I arrived home....still hot. bagels was slightly crunchy and soft interior slight glaze on the outside. As a certified baker in N.J. I was definitely delighted in the taste, reminiscent of what my Father had made daily. My next culinary experience was the lox cream cheese it was real salmon and cream cheese, unlike the competitors who use a whipped cream cheese and tiny bits of salmon , here at NY BAGEL CAFE it was marvelous to see actually good size pieces. As a baker I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NY BAGEL CAFE. Very respectfully Chef Henry ‍ read more

Very unhappy. Pastrami was in cubes that Looked and tasted like hotdog meat. Never again.

Went at 12:50pm today Store closes at 2 Cool reception from counter person Chairs already put up on tables. Worker was cleaning up the grill for day We only wanted a bagel and coffee. Very few choices of bagels and cream cheeses,but we settled on what we would order and ordered coffee... only to be told there was no coffee. 70 minutes before closing time no coffee in a bagel place. If you are done at 1pm, CLOSE at 1pm! We are senior citizens and can do without attitude of counter young woman clearly annoyed that anyone would be going there an hour before closing Lots of other places to get bagels and coffee We went to Bigbys... welcomed as soon as we entered the door I won't go back to NY Bagels nor, will I ever recommended it. read more

These bagels are pretty good, I had one after returning from NYC and though it's not exactly the same it comes pretty close. The shop is a cute little deli like cafe in a shopping plaza. It's a really chill vibe. The staff were pretty laidback and nice. I was in and out in no time. read more

The bagels are probably the best bagels in Virginia Beach. They have a good variety of schmear as well. This spot is tiny, so if you'd like a table, you'll need to come early or just get lucky as there are only about 4 tables that can seat 2-3 people if you squeeze in. Staff are friendly, however, when it is packed, and it usually is, the time you wait for your food could be potentially lengthy. read more

Literally this is a two for one review, what I mean is I went once and intended on reviewing but have been back again since then so I'll post what I got on both occasions lol. When you first walk in it smells so good you might change your mind about what you went there for, there's always a good crowd and a line but it moves! The first time I went I ordered bacon egg and cheese bagel with chives cream cheese on a toasted garlic bagel...divine! Make sure to specify that you want the bagel toasted when you order. It was just the right amount of everything, each bite was delicious! This time I got the lox deluxe which comes with smoked salmon, capers, plain cream cheese, tomato and red onion on a toasted garlic bagel one word, SAVORY. It was literally perfect amount of everything the ratios are just everything never too much or not enough of something. I always get an orange juice to make it a perfect breakfast but there's other selections as well. An observation I made on my visits is the hot bagels take a bit longer due to the demand and the preparation vs the cold bagels take so if you're pressed for time be mindful of that. The staff are gentle with you if you have questions because it can be a bit overwhelming and the line grows fast but they are always happy to answer your questions, I appreciate that. I think I'm a regular at this point, go give them a try! read more
