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.

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!

I found another Bagel shop in Carytown so here's my review:…read more Food 9/10 - I ordered 2 different breakfast bagels on the same Everything Bagel and they were the best bagel breakfast sandwiches I have ever had so far. The everything was seasoned and the main thing that caught my tastebuds was the eggs which were the best part of the bagels. I have yet to try the other bagels but I'm sure I'll like them too. Service 7.5/10 - I don't have much to say but the staff were pretty and my food came in a decent time. Inside 7/10 - It's in a neighborhood in VCU so I can excuse it for being small and tight, but the inside is nothing special. It's clean and nice so that's all I'm going to say as well. Overall, this is another one of these instances where the food is worth it and everything else doesn't matter. I can't speak for lunch but this place is perfect for breakfast. I'll give this a 8.7/10

The rosemary bagel unfortunately felt extremely chewy and tough vs the everything bagel. The seasoning on the bagels were good, but the texture seemed a little off or perhaps I remembered a different nostalgic taste. The interior was really clean and looked nice. They had some seatings outside. Overall it was a good bagel sandwich, however didn't feel the same as the original. Food(50%): 6.6 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.5/10

I was super excited when I finally tried their baked goods because I totally understood what all the buzz was about. I first visited the week they opened. Pretty much everything was sold out, but I managed to get the last croissant and two cookies. I normally wouldn't have ordered an Everything croissant, but loved this. It had all the yummy everything bagel seasoning accompanied by the buttery perfection of a croissant. I also managed to order a chocolate chip cookie and ube cookie. Both were incredible. They were gooey on the inside and crunchy at the corners. I'm drooling writing about them. I recently returned for a quick breakfast option before a day trip to Williamsburg. Everything was in stock when I visited. I was excited to try the pain au chocolat. My friend got the feta and spinach. She found her croissant to be a little saltier than she would've liked, but liked the feta and spinach combo. My pain au chocolat was a bit more airy than I was hoping, but still really good! It's a smaller space, but they do have a small seating spot available if you want to eat your baked goods there. I love their neon croissant and neon cookie lights. You do not want to miss out on trying B-Side. They have really wonderful baked goods here.

A carb lovers dream! I came across Montana Gold Bread Co. after visiting The Oil store next door…read more They share a parking lot. The store maybe small, but they offer a lot. Upon entering we were impressed. There was a lot to chose from. They had loaves of bread, muffins, cookies, sandwiches and so much more. The cashier was so helpful. He answered all our questions, and gave us great advice. He was very knowledgeable about the products. We opted for a loaf of bread, a scrumptious peanut butter cookie and a bread pudding. We waited to get so many items. We already had lunch plans so we did not opt for a sandwich, but there were a few people there behind us ready to order sandwiches. When we got home we were able to dig in. Everything was so fresh and delicious! My husband raved about his raspberry bread pudding.

I walked in after seeing their sign on the sidewalk last week (I'd had a meeting nearby and was walking back to my car). It's just a tiny shop with the most beautiful loaves of bread. I left with a gorgeous loaf of rye, but they still had a few options when I arrived in the afternoon on a weekday pretty close to their closing time (several types were sold out, but I still had options). The founder of Europa Crust seems a little obsessed with bread, and residents of Richmond, that's to your benefit. Bread lovers, stop and check it out.
