The Bagel Baker may always look busy. This is because they are so good. Fresh bagels I usually go for lunch. The sandwiches are amazing. I get a different sandwich every time I go and have never been disappointed lately. I always asked to cut mine in half. My husband will get a different sandwich and get his cut in half . Then we can try 2 different sandwiches. We got the Manhattan and the Chelsea. Both very different but both EXCELLENT!!!! They both have bacon on them, and the bacon was perfect. Both very flavorful and fresh.. staff very nice and fast too for a fresh sandwich made to order read more

Great service, as soon as I walked in I was greeted by everyone, and placed my order for a toasted plain bagel with extra cream cheese quickly. The menu was big, and I got anxious being the only person and ordered what I knew. It makes for a good base of how good everything else would be though. My food came out soon after, and I left to go enjoy my food at home (15 minutes). It felt warm when I got it, but by the time I sat down to eat it was cold. It wasn't like it had been too long from when I got it to then, so I don't know what happened. The bagel itself is dense and chewy, kinda like what I had suspected from the photos. It's like Panera you could say, which was a little sad for me. I like my bagels more airy and not as chewy. The flavor of the bagel was nice, I just was hoping for something amazing I guess. The cream cheese is also good quality, probably could've done with more of it. (I'm in love with cream cheese) Overall, just a cute average lil bagel shop. read more

Hard to find a NY-style bagels in the area! But this place might be a winner. Plenty of indoor sitting and even two kiosks aside from the regular counter. Stopped by earlier this morning after the rush & picked up a BB on Broadway (bacon, egg, cheese, and hash brown) as well as a blueberry yogurt muffin. While a little pricey, the bagel was chewy and fresh. And gosh, the muffin was incredibly yummy! I'll have to give the other breakfast sandwiches a try. read more

The Bagel Baker is the first place I visit when I come home from college. I've tried many Bagel shops in my college town, and nothing ever comes close to Bagel Baker's bagels and coffee! The owner is so sweet. I also bought a 1/2 dozen to bring back to college with me. read more

A mad search for New York Style Bagel Bakeries before my son & grandson arrived led me back to this location where my family came in the late '80s. When I walked in it looked completely different. That's because it was. I'm not sure what happened to the old store since it had been decades since I had frequented the bagel shop. This bakery was exactly what I was looking for. They boil then bake their bagels preservative free. It brought back memories of a Bagel Bakery in Atlanta I frequented in the early '70s that actually had the boiling vat in view. The Bakery was decorated really awesome on the outside & inside with sidewalk seating available in addition to the dining area. A separate door was provided for takeout or online orders. I joined the rope line to place my order so I could peruse the menu on the wall. The line featured a long picturesque scene of New York. The inside dining area walls were also New York cityscape scenes. How awesome!! The restaurant was clean & very popular. Takeout orders were placed in bags awaiting pickup. There were many. Breakfast sandwich choices looked spectacular & were all New York themed. But my quest was for the type of single bagels that my family eat for breakfast. My purchase was Sesame Seed & Cinnamon Raisin. I wanted to peruse the cream cheese choices. But there was a line behind me & I was operating on short time. Reading the background of the owners I learned they were a couple from New Jersey who founded the bakery in 2012. They have a food truck & also have plans to open a delicatessen in the space previously occupied by 58 Deli Diner. My son & grandson said their Sesame & Cinnamon Raisin Bagels were good. And my son perused their Breakfast & Brunch Bagel Sandwich Menu. The location is in the shopping center on the southeast side of the intersection of Mill Dam Road with N Great Neck Road. Coming from Shore Drive driving south there's easy entrance by a left turn on Mill Dam & and immediate right into the shopping center. I will definitely return, maybe even breaking my diet & choosing a Breakfast Bagel Sandwich. read more

I just witnessed the owner of this establishment behave so rudely to a young girl picking up her to-go order. He literally saw who was picking up the order, then unpacked her food from the bag, took the napkins out of the bag, and told her she didn't need a bag and that she can get napkins down at the other end of the restaurant if needed. What!? Is this a way to treat a customer, even if it is a young teen? Unbelievable. read more

I was so excited to try after seeing so many good reviews but it wasn't really anything special or maybe i'm not the target audience. Definitely don't recommend the sausage if you pick a bagel sandwich! The iced coffee was okay too. I think the bagels with just cream cheese would've been fine too. There was just something about both sandwiches that had an aftertaste. Aside from that, the staff is very friendly! They made it very smooth and convenient. read more

I enjoyed. Lovely staff, super soft bagel...I see nothing wrong with that combination

The food and service used to be so good. I ordered the BB on Broadway roasted on an onion bagel with cream cheese added and it came out not toasted. I just ate it because I didn't want them to have to remake the whole thing. The older black lady who takes orders was not very pleasant. I said "Hi! Good morning!" Very kindly and she looked at me and went to help someone else for a pick up order. She definitely made us feel unwelcome and an inconvenience. I moved out of state and am in town visiting so I wanted to go back to my favorite spots... but when someone comes in a business, a kind welcome should be made. The food overall though is good. read more

Ever since moving to Hampton Roads from Brooklyn, NY, I've been on a search to find a New York style bagel. The Bagel Baker is by far the closest thing I've found to the bagels back home and I stop by there whenever I really want a NY bagel. My go to is the Long Island Lox on an everything bagel. That comes with a good portion of lox, cream cheese, tomato, capers, and onions. It's always delicious every time I have it. The bagel itself is for sure the best one I've found in the area and the most similar to the bagels in NY. The service here is also great. It's always fast, even when the line is longer. There's plenty of seating inside, along with a couple of tables outside as well. The inside is full of nostalgic NY photos and art. The Bagel Baker is overall a great pick for a NY style bagel in Virginia Beach. read more

Always do online orders but the most recent ones we have done, the lady at the pick up counter has not been friendly at all and gives off I am the one bothering her vibe. Also paid $2 extra for a hash brown on my Statue of Liberty and didn't get it. Food was still good though, just not the same service as it usually is. read more

Came here after an appointment in the morning and found this shop to stop at for breakfast. I love a good bagel sandwich, so I was looking forward to giving it a try. Upon entering, I stared at the menu for a solid minute or so as it was my first time of course and I wanted to thoroughly review all the options. Upon walking up to the register, I asked what I should get between two sandwiches and the employee taking my order told me which one customers order the most. I will say I did not feel the most welcome here, but that just may be me. The employee did not seem interested in answering my questions and did not have the best mood. But people have their days, so I brushed it off. I did not see any coffee options on the main menu listed on the wall but remembered seeing pictures of an iced coffee drink when I searched the restaurant. I asked if they had any coffee drinks, and I was told they have iced coffee and hot coffee. I asked to order an iced coffee, and the woman taking my order grabbed a pre-made iced coffee from the fridge. They had an inventory of ready to go cups of iced coffee with some type of cream or milk which I found interesting. I ordered the BB on Broadway sandwich on an everything bagel which came with hardwood smoked bacon, egg, American cheese and a hash brown. I also got a garlic bagel with garden veggie cream cheese. After ordering, I sat in the seated area as I waited for my food which was charming, bright and clean. The iced coffee was delicious, I liked the boldness of the coffee, and it was not too sweet. I also like the ice in it as well, which aided for a nice sip. The BB on Broadway was standard, it didn't blow me away, but it was a decent bagel sandwich. I think I would've preferred if the bagel was a bit softer. I enjoyed the garlic bagel with the garden veggie cream cheese the most, which was a great savory bite. read more

I used to love this place in high school and would get a bagel here nearly every day. Now visiting from college, it's not the same. I've overlooked the rude employee that never has any emotion but last time I went, there was a hair in my bagel and I didn't get a single apology from her. She silently took my bagel and never said a word while typing on the computer. She didn't instruct me to tap my card again to get a refund and acted like I was stupid when I didn't know what to do. I didn't make a fuss and was very respectful but was not met with the same respect. When looking back on my bank app it looks like she just charged me for another bagel and didn't give me a refund. I've never left a bad review anywhere but this was not acceptable. read more

Oh, man - I was really excited to try out this New York-style bagelry, situated in VB. The bagels are apparently made the 'traditional' way, where they use preservative-free dough to kettle boil and then stone bake. They have Plain, Everything, Whole Wheat, Whole Wheat Everything, Onion, Garlic, Sesame, Poppy, Salt, Blueberry, and Cinnamon Raisin. They create their 'gourmet cream cheese' with Philadelphia cream cheese, but also have other spreads, such as butter, lox spread, PB & J, hummus, and butter & jelly. Breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches are also part of the menu, in addition to salads and soups. We came here in the late afternoon, and we decided to try out: +an Everything Egg bagel with the Garden Veggie spread - I was excited that they had an egg version of this, as this wasn't posted on their site; however, I didn't request this to be toasted, but it came out as the SOHO - overly done, super hard, and difficult to chew +the SOHO - turkey bacon, egg whites, sliced avocado, and provolone cheese, on an Everything; this was requested to be toasted, and, unfortunately, the bagel was super hard and difficult to chew; also, the way that they didn't drain the turkey bacon, the brown juices were splattered and oozing everything in the wrapper; it just didn't look appetizing, and after taking a bite of it, the sentiment held true This place seems to be popular with the locals, as there were many who got their orders to go and were dining in. I saw one patron getting only an iced coffee, and I was thinking that I should have ordered one, too, as it looked refreshing. Oh, well. The cashier was super friendly and kind, but I think the kitchen staff and those who were handling the orders needed help - they could definitely work on the preparation of it. I'm glad I was able to try this place out, but no dice. +overly hard and tough-to-chew bagels +incorrect preparation of bagels +cooked proteins not drained properly +plenty of parking in the plaza lot read more

Bagel sandwiches are my jam. Always have been always will. Every time I'm in a new place, I try to find the best one in town and totally thought that this would be it, based on the excellent reviews. Drove the 30 minutes to secure the bagel sandwich and was greeted with wonderful customer service. Both ladies working the front were friendly and welcoming. One suggested the sandwich with steak, which sounded delicious, so I tried it out. It smelled amazing and came out hot. Sadly, the flavor was just off. The egg most definitely seemed to be microwaved and just left a very weird, unappealing flavor and wet texture. The actual bagel was great. Since the reviews are so consistently good and the customer service was great, I will be back to give a second chance, but my first experience definitely wasn't the bagel sandwich lover's dream. read more

I tried the Classic on an Everything Bagel and it was terrific! I've never had Italian sausage with a bagel sandwich, but I was impressed. The coffee was also excellent, I'll definitely be back! read more

We loved our visit at the Bagel Baker this morning. The order was placed online and it was ready when we arrived. The young lady who assisted us was efficient but friendly. We took her suggestion on coffee product and glad we did. The Italian Sweet Cream iced coffee tasted great and we both loved it. It had just the right amount of sweetness and silky texture. The Classic BB with tomato, sausage, eggs and cheese did not disappoint either. I think we finally found our new favorite breakfast place here in VB! read more

Oooo Weee! Did y'all put a hash brown on a bagel?? I loved it. On the hunt for the best bagel breakfast sando in Coastal VA, The Bagel Baker is our second stop. These bagels are delicious. I usually opt for an everything bagel always but I settled for a Whole Wheat bagel and I'm not mad about it. The bagel was soft enough that when toasted, the fluffy bread insides were still intact. Eggs fried and seasoned to perfection, bacon crispy and just salty enough. Cheese, American, and melty but I would have preferred cheddar. (Cheddar is always better) The flow of ordering and pick up was efficient. Keep your receipt, your order number is on it and will be called when your items are ready. Coffee and food is delivered to pick up window, sometimes separately, so listen for your order number. On a busy morning we didn't spend more than 30 mins between arrival, waiting in line and picking up our order. Way to go team!! Last, but definitely not least, The Cold Brew, quite possibly the best I've tried in VA to date. Smooth, rich and paired well with the almond milk. Heck yes! I'll be back. read more

Another one checked off the list! My fiancee and I ran the Shamrock 8k last Saturday and decided to come here since his parents came to support us at the finish and brought their dog. We arrived before the rest of the finishers (bc we watched all the green shirts flood in as we ate) and selected a few tables outside. We placed our orders for a few bagel sandwiches for breakfast and ordered a hot coffee and an iced coffee with their sweet cream. LOVED the iced coffee - so good I went back and bought another bc my fiancee drank half of mine and abandoned his hot coffee, lol. My whole wheat bagel was good - I went with a classic bacon, egg and cheese. My fiancee did like a reuben on a bagel but didn't love it. My mother-in-law chose the chicken salad bagel which was very good also. Will absolutely come back for bagels to go - maybe will do plain with cream cheese next time as nature intended (ha) and an iced coffee! read more

I enjoyed a sausage, egg, and cheese with vegetable schmear, lettuce, and tomato at The Bagel Baker. The bagel was chewy and fresh, reminiscent of a New York bodega, and very well seasoned and salted. The sausage was excellent, and the schmear was flavorful. Offering a casual diner-style interior with plenty of seating; tables quickly turnover for a fast bite. Just like in New York, you need to be prepared to order (this is not the type of place where you chat with the host). read more

Love their breakfast bagels & house sweetened iced coffee. they have quick & efficient service.

The food is as awesome! Bagels were toasted just right. We came to VA from MA to visit and stopped here and it was well worth it.

Happy New Year! I am not a huge bagel fan, but I do like one at least once every few weeks. This is one of my favorite places to go here in VA Beach. As a routine New York City goer, I have eaten at some of the classic bagel joints. This place is just as good as up North. I have two sandwiches that I always order. One is the lox with cream cheese, and the other is a BLT. Both bagels are on Everything Bagels. What can I say? They are awesome. The lox in particular is ridiculous. BOTH bagel sides, top and bottom are dressed up with bagel, cream cheese, onions, capers, AND lox. So it feels like you are getting two sandwiches. I'm okay with that. So if you are following with the math, I have my BLT, with my two lox spreads, which feels like three full sandwiches. The service is fast, and they are all super friendly. Very local vibes, and no stress. Well done, and see you next time. read more

I absolutely loved this place. Plenty of parking because it is in a strip mall. We went on a Sunday late morning so I think we avoided the busy time. You walk up to the counter and order. The guy that took our order was awesome!! I wish I got his name. We were standing back and looking at the menu and since it was our 1st time it took us a little while to figure out what we wanted. We told him it was our 1st time and he was so nice about it. My husband ordered the Tribeca and I went with a basic sesame bagel and cream cheese. We paid and found a table. There are several booths and tables and it was pretty full. I loved the vibe. I felt like I could just relax and read the paper while I ate my bagel. My husband and I both loved our food. They did not skimp on the cream cheese. They have a self serve water station and they also had 2 kiosks to order if you wanted to do it that way. I loved all the NY decorations. My husband I both said that we are coming back. I want to try everything on the menu including the iced coffee because almost everyone was drinking it.....it must be good. :) Definitely check them out. read more

Really great bagel shop. As a native New Yorker, it's only the second one in the 757 I can say that about. The bagels themselves are delicious and perfect, and they have a great menu of sandwiches to go along with them. We had a classic onion bagel with lox and the "New Jersey" with Taylor ham, egg, and cheese. We figured we had to try a couple tri-state classics to start, and they both were great. The coffee was also excellent and served in iconic NYC blue and white paper cups, a nice touch of authenticity. If I lived in or worked near this neighborhood, they would become a regular breakfast stop. You really can't do better for a bagel around here, give them a try! read more

It's a quest fellow Yelpers -- the perfect bagel in Hampton Roads -- and I'm *still* on the look out. On a recent trip to VA Beach, a Yelp friend recommended checking this place out. First of all, way out of my way, so I'm surprised I even made it happen. Then I sat on this review, because I couldn't really decide where I should land on my star count, especially given COVID stuff. It's probably a solid 4 for me without the COVID stuff, but definitely 3 with...so maybe 3 1/2? So -- the good -- this place is fairly easy to find in a large strip mall, which means it has ample parking available. They have a long order counter and a side indoor dining area + some outdoor seating available. They apparently are organized enough that you can order online and pick up (which I didn't do), or order in the store. The place was PACKED and there was a line out the door. Usually a good sign. I went ahead and placed my order for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and I picked up an additional two single bagels to take home. Once I got my order and started eating it in my car, I was impressed. This style of bagel is *not* my favorite, but I'd call it a true NJ/NY/Maine style bagel that is on the smaller, denser side. The bacon on this bagel was the bomb - very flavorful - and the egg and cheese combo was on point. So as far as breakfast sandwiches go, it was filling, tasty and enjoyable. The bad -- I stood around for at least 15-20 minutes waiting for my order. In that time, numerous customers entered without masks. Several of the staff took their masks off on and on to talk to each other and/or eat and drink something in plain view of the customers. I was highly aware of the amount of time I was waiting as a result. I kept ducking outside so as not to spend too much time indoors. So that part, really annoying. Then on the additional annoying end, my extra bagels. Every bagel store I visit I order extra to see how they hold up after a few days and/or how they freeze. In both cases, not so good here. I froze one and left one. The one I froze -- when I tried to thaw it and eat it, pretty much inedible. Cardboard consistency. The one I left developed mold in less than 48 hours because I took one day off and tried to eat it the following morning to find the rotten spores! So, for my purposes -- this place lands in the just alright category for me. For a quick breakfast, tasty. But for planning ahead like I do to purchase bagels in bulk and try to savor them for long periods of time, not so much. Do with that what you will Yelpers! read more

I love this place, it's perfect. From Saturday crunch session woking on a paper to a hangover cure on Sunday at 11, it's perfect. The food is amazing, heavy, greasy bagel sandwiches, perfectly spiced and made with care. But the standout is the iced coffee. Needs no modification, perfect ratio of cream, sugar, and dark roast. If you're on the way to church or coming home from the beach this spot is worth it. Don't expect it to be fast, it will take a few, but it's always been worth it. read more
