Our bagels with lox and herbed cream cheese was delicious! Loved the small and cozy venue. Great selection too!

This place was recommended by a friend. They had fresh Bagels but I opted for a turkey sandwich on a roll. The sandwich was nice and hot. They have this special beet orange juice!!! It is the business!! I highly recommend it! The downside is that parking sucks and that the place is only open until 3pm. read more

I had the Deli egg on a jalapeño bagel. The egg omelet was delicious, plenty of meat and cheese. So yummy! The taste of the bagel was really good. I loved the little bit of heat from the jalapeños. I want to come back and get some of their sweeter bagels and try with cream cheese. The only thing I had to complain about was they didn't toast the bagel to my liking. It is a personal preference so I won't knock the stars too far down. I had to remove the top part of my bagel sandwich because it was too chewy and I could eat the sandwich together. All in all it was very flavorful and I will be back! read more

My wife and I get something most Saturday mornings. It's crowded on Saturday mornings. Crowded like, "I'm willing to wait a couple minutes to eat here", crowded. Well, I'm willing too :-) Delicious! Made to order! Great service! read more

Oh man, it's been a while since I've found a bagel place this good. We've been 3 times in 3 weeks, for both breakfast and lunch. It's usually pretty busy but the line moves fast and food comes out quickly. There's a nice bar space upstairs that seems to be a hotspot for Sunday brunch, but you can also just take your bagel sandwich up there. Favorite so far has probably been the chocolate chip bagel with the Reese's peanut butter cream cheese spread. Mmmm. read more

Come hungry but not starving, there is always a wait (the food is that good!) I say come hungry for the for the sheer size of these babies will FILL YOU UP. The experience: Super cool! It's an order counter, and the place is on the small side, so order quick because finding a seat is like Hunger Games! They also sell take home portions of their wide variety of cream cheese's. The food: B. I. G. Like, bless, these sandwiches are so filling, and so tasty! My friends, the line is worth it. What I love even more is the you can take a walk over to the cat cafe after your breakfast or just stroll around Ghent. It's a great way to start your day! read more

Best bagel in town! My girlfriend loved my order and still enjoyed hers too! Best of all; a full bar upstairs! Good spot for all walks of life. The workers were really friendly and worked very efficiently. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a good breakfast. Plus, this place just has the right vibe. read more

Yorgo's kills it every time. Whether you want a breakfast sandwich or a lunch item or weather you're vegan, vegetarian or full on carnivore, you will not be disappointed. The first few times I went I was stuck on breakfast, bc of course bagels = breakfast. Every bagel I've had is delicious, the everything bagel, sourdough, and pumpernickel are my favorites. As an herbivore myself, I have to say the vegan sausage is something made of magic. My meat eating husband even prefers it over the regular breakfast sausage they have. It's so good and seasoned just right. They have tons of cream cheese choices that I feel as if I could never try them all but the one I have had, and continue to have is the jalapeño cream cheese. That ish is sooooo good. It has humongous chunks of pickled jalapeño and they always put a generous amount on my bagels. The star of this story though... the vegan buffalo chicken wrap. I think they use garden chicken? Idk but regardless of what they use, it's how they cook and season it that makes it so delicious. I always get it in a wrap and it comes with lettuce, onion, tomato? I think. But the buffalo yumminess and veganese they use keeps me craving this wrap constantly. I'm always greeted with kindness and I love that staff is pretty diverse and cool. My favorite associate is Cully, and he deserves a specific shoutout bc he is always smiling and is so sweet. He *always* finds something to compliment and I know it's genuine admiration. I appreciate this so much as someone who knows how that can impact a persons day. Thanks Cully! Everyone run to Yorgo's read more

Locally owned and homemade bagels! Lots of variety to choose from. Eat inside, outside or to go ! Yum

OMG is an understatement - more like the angels sang with every bite. My first time there visiting my ODU daughter in Ghent and I am hooked. I had the Inside Out omelette on an everything whole wheat bagel and I swear I've never had something so delicious. And it was huge. And it was cheap. And the shop was just an all around good vibes atmosphere. Wins all around. I absolutely cannot wait to go back ... tempted to just move right on in to Yorgo's PLUS they have plenty of vegan options - my daughter is a strict vegan and LOVES it here... ty for giving her a great place to eat :D read more

Yum! So many selections of juice and coffee. A lovely menu with a lot of different things to try, I already want to go back! I got the Jalapeño Bagel with Jalapeño Cream cheese. It was so good. I got some if the Jalapeño Cream cheese to go and will be going back to get more. My husband had an everything bagel with lox, capers and garlic cream cheese. The bagles were tosted perfectly and there was the right amount of cream cheese in each bit. The loxs were smokey and delicous. We loved that they made all these specialty cream cheeses in-house. To be honest it's a good thing they don't open earlier or my husband would be stopping on his way into work every morning and I can't have that. LOL read more

Not a bad little breakfast spot. Menu offers many options to choose from. I was originally going to take my order to go but I had some extra time in the morning and decided to eat in. I ordered the inside out omelette and choose to make it vegan for an up-charge. The girl then asked if I wanted regular or vegan cheese to go with it and I said vegan because I already had ordered it vegan. This ended up being another up-charge which I think I'd very misleading because I had already paid to make it vegan. They offered gluten free bread which I chose (another up-charge). Food was flavorful but I think multiple up-charges for the same item is a bit off. read more

Just zero competition. And the only place I know where you can reliably get sprouts on your turkey sandwich.

I'm from New York home of the chewy inside Crispy outside bagel. When someone asked you If they can "toast" your bagel you know something is wrong. I believe their cashier wanted to be somewhere else. No greeting no smile she matched the weather outside foggy and grey. I ordered bacon egg and cheese on an everything. They didn't have everything. I had it on a sesame. A lender's tasting bagel. Definitely not New York and for the price definitely not going back. read more

UGH MY NEWFOUND LOVE! I have no idea how I missed such a gem before. I like this place so much I've been 3 times in the past week. For students, this is a perfect place to grab a quick bite as it is a close drive to ODU. My first experience, I came with my boyfriend for a light lunch. I'm vegan atm so when I saw all the options for me i was excited. They have a pretty equal split of the menu between vegan/non vegan items so it's perfect to go to if you're vegan and you may have a friend who's fond of say, chicken lol. I got the vegan chicken salad and omgggg it is my new favorite!!! It was SO good and worth every penny. I absolutely love creative vegan recipes like this. I actually even came back shortly after to order it again. Not only is their menu heart warming for those who are plant based, but their customer service is amazing! The first time, the girl I had complimented my makeup and we made some nice small talk. The second time, the guy who helped me was extremely kind and so cool! He pointed out my crystal necklaces and we made small talk about that. This place has super good vibes, great employees and yummy food. Vegans should be especially happy they exist :) I'll be back....probably within the next couple days lol this could be my new go to read more

YUMMMM!! Loved every bite. I'm from Pensacola and we don't really have many vegan varieties and options like the ones down here, but honestly I could eat this everyday.

The different flavors flowed so well together and I'm obsessed with the cream cheese!! So delicious! Come to Pensacola we would LOVE YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!!! read more

I woke up too early which is normally bad, but it gave me the chance to have a delicious bagel - which is good. I stopped in at Yorgo's early on a weekday morning. There was a steady stream of people but it never felt too packed. I had the lox everything bagel (toasted). It was really good with the onions and capers added on. A nice way to start the day. read more

Yorgo's Bageldashery - Everything bagel with lox - Bagels Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Reliably delicious. Worth the price. Friendly staff. Sometimes a wait if they're busy. Worth the wait.

Although a Ghent resident for over two decades, it was only a few months ago when I ate at Yorgo's for the first time. I neglected to try it for so long, perhaps because it seemed to lack the sex appeal of some of the more trendier restaurants in the area. Shame on me. It is located at the intersection of Colonial Avenue and 22nd Street, at the end of a strip mall which also houses the New Belmont House of Smoke and a Muy Thai studio. Parking is limited in the front, but additional parking is available in the rear and along 22nd Street. A new owner, Greg Peterman, who was also a general manager at the No Frill Grill, bought Yorgo's a decade ago and reopened it in January of 2006. He has successfully steered it to the quality and popularity it enjoys today. Moving counter-clockwise as you enter, there is a display of various flavored coffees and mugs on the right, a rack of tee shirts, a case of specialty beverages, and a self-serve soda machine. The display counter up front offers a wide assortment of delicasies, including homemade cookies, breads, cream cheeses, and juices. Their bagels are hand crafted fresh daily with 100% organic flour and available in at least a dozen flavors. In the opinion of one local food writer, Yorgo's serves the "best bagels south of Philadelpia." In additon, they serve a variiety of wraps, burritos, sandwiches, soups, salads, and vegan dishes, all of which can be customized to your wishes. Their menu is a masterpiece of variety and economy, with each indvidual item priced at less than $10. After placing your order at the counter, you are given a receipt with a number and take a seat. When your number is called, you go up to retrieve your order. Sometimes they bring it right to your table. So far I have sampled the following: THE PETERMAN: Named after the owner, this is a vegan dish and is described as a tofu scrambler with hash browns, house made sausage, diaya cheese, and red onion in your choice of wrap. Their choice of wraps includes whole wheat, sun dried tomato, jalapeno, and spinach. I chose the spinach, which was very satisfying and eye catching. This was my first time tasting vegan style scambled eggs, sausage, and cheese. I was pleasantly surprised at the tastes and textures they delivered. The tofu scramble was a bit bland for my tastes, but a bottle of Texas Pete on my table came in handy for giving it a little more kick. My Rating: 4 Stars. VEGAN BUFFALO CHICK'N: Gardein brand chicken strips, lettuce, tomato, onion, herb vegenaise, and buffalo sauce. This can be ordered served in a bagel, wrap, or house made challah roll. I chose the jalapeno cheddar wrap. I had never heard of Gardein before and looked it up. Their web site describes it as a "sustainable protein brand that delivers the same great taste, texture, and nutrition of meat with no cholesterol, less fat and calories." The similarity in the taste and texture of the chicken strips to real chicken was remarkable. I enjoyed the remaining ingredients, and the buffalo sauce in combination with the jalapeno cheddar wrap delivered a mildly spicy taste that exhuded with warmth. This is my favorite of the two vegan dishes I have tried here so far. My Rating: 5 Stars. LOX AND CREAM CHEESE ON A BAGEL: Served with capers, red onion, and tomato "for a real taste of New York" as it says on their menu. I chose the jalapeno flavored bagel and the jalapeno cream cheese. The bagel was quite large with a texture that shouted with freshness as it sang to my taste buds with the heat of jalapeno. The cream cheese did likewise and was proportioned just right without being overpowering. The lox was divine. Indeed, the flavors of the tomato, red onion, and capers came together nicely for that "taste of New York." My Rating: 5 Stars. THE SO CAL: Smoked turkey, bacon, Muenster, tomato, sprouts, and avocado. This item is listed as one of their Signature Sandwiches, and I chose the jalapeno cheddar wrap for this one. The flavors and textures came through well, and the crunch of the bacon was an enjoyable highlight. My only wish is that I would have preferred a stronger presence of avocado. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. THE GRINDER: Ham, capicola, salami, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pepper relish. This is another one of their Signature Sandwiches, and I chose the sun dried tomato wrap for this one. Overall, I would rate this one as my personal favorite It was profoundly delicious, rich with the flavors and textures of its ingredients. I'll let the photo do the rest of the talking, as I'm running short on space. My Rating: 5 Stars. The counter service I have experienced here has always been warm and friendly. This quiet and unassuming little restaurant puts out a quality and well conceived product. Based upon my visits so far, I am pleased to give them a well earned 5-star rating. read more

These are the best bagels in Hampton Roads. The homemade cream cheese is off the hook. Also, props to them for having a safe and spacious atmosphere in the Covid era. Totally worth getting the bagels to-go! The whole wheat everything is fantastic. read more

Haven't been here in a while but as soon as I walked in it felt it never changed. Love the laid back atmosphere and was greeted with the biggest smile - made my morning :) Usually I go for a sweet bagel for breakfast but since I was starving (understatement) I ordered the lox bagel, with herb cream cheese, on an everything bagel (lots of onions, capers and no tomatoes). The bagel was toasted to yumminess perfection. The only reason I'm not giving them a 5 star is because the cream cheese was ALL OVER. I'm a big fan of cream cheese and am considered to our plenty of it in general - so for me to say it was a lot, it was a whole lot! It was falling everywhere every time I took a bite.. Way too messy for me! But I love me so Yorgo's and was happy to be able to stop by for a few minutes after such a long time. read more

Stop the press. Somebody save me. My addiction to Yorgo's Bageldashery is becoming insane. As a young, Jewish lady-unicorn hybrid, I was taught from infancy to appreciate a solid Nova lox and cream cheese. I mean, seriously, I've been pounding bagels into the pavement since the sandbox days. I like to think that because of my fine Jewish roots, I just "get" bagels. Because, essentially, to a Jew: a bagel a day keeps the high cholesterol at bay. SOOOOOOOOOO .... After months of hearing fellow Yelpies and muggles rave on about this place, I decided to finally give in. There's a place called Bagels N' More in VB and Greenbriar has no been blessed with an Einstein Bros. So, thusfar, my bagel addiction has been sufficed by these. After trying Yorgo's, I realized that I was simply "settling" in Bagel-world. This place is every essence of the phrase: THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!! The first time I came here, I took my little humunculus, Merlin. Against my better judgement as a parent, I decided to reward him for his five minutes of good behavior by getting him the most sugary thing on the menu: a chocolate chip bagel with chocolate chip cream cheese (I know, I'm a terrible parent). I, however, blessed myself with their Nova lox on an everything with scallion cream cheese. OH.MY.GOD, it was incredible. In-freaking-credible, un-effing-believably good. After my first bite, I had to call my Bubbe to tell her about my find. The bagels here are big, perfect, and fit for shiksas and muggles galore. The lox is incredibly fresh, like what you'd buy for your fambam at a Whole Foods for $30 a slab. Good quality smoked Nemo over at Yorgo's. The scallion cream cheese is PACKED with flavor and, to top it off, they're homemade Middle Eastern Chick Pea soup simply melts away all of your troubles. Yorgo's is definitely not what I'd classify as a "date night joint". No, this is a place where YOU EAT. You sit down, eat your food, and go. The only acceptable extracurriculars here are reading a newspaper or a book. There is a ever-so consistent line here at Yorgo's, so fulfill your eating business and dash. This place is good. Real good. I'll never go back to factory-made Einstein Bros. cream cheese. Thank you, Yorgo's, I can now die a happy/over-fed Jew! read more

Been meaning to try Yorgo's out forever and I'm glad we finally did! We were in Norfolk one Saturday morning & figured it was the perfect time to try their bagels out. The place isn't too big; I noticed it was full though. (Luckily, we snagged a seat.) There was also a long but very fast-moving line to order & pay. My bf had the "everything" bagel with lox flavored cream cheese, and I had a plain bagel, plain cream cheese, and actual LOX on it. Perfectly toasted bagel - soft on the inside, great cream cheese, perfect Lox -just so delicious. I didn't want the bites to end! lol The line was steady the whole time we were there - I could tell lots of locals, regulars, students (lots of them wearing my Alma Mater's sweatshirts), and so many people placing orders to-go. There were even little samples of their brownies up front; yum! I would definitely recommend, and also return when I'm in the Ghent area. Can't wait to try their other goodies. As the cute chalkboard sign says, "You're my everything, bagel!" ;) read more

I ordered several vegan containers for a family gathering that was held the day the food was picked up. The containers were placed, and kept refrigerated. I only live about 10 minutes from the restaurant. When I attempted to eat one of the salads 8/30, it was rancid. This should not have been as the order was picked up only 3 days ago. I looked to see the preparation date and it was 5 days before the order was picked up 8/22. At that point the food was already too old to have been given to me on a called in ahead order. The manager I spoke to at about 9:45 8/31 could have cared less. She just kept repeating in a non caring voice,"Sorry about that." She stated that vegan dishes are made daily but had no answer in reference to why my food was so old. This restaurant was recommended but our family will no longer spend our money there. read more

This is a very, very neat find. Went here based on some recommendations from fellow yelpers and was exceptionally glad I did. Went here for breakfast with my wife as this place is exceptionally friendly to vegans, vegetarians, and everything in between. The menu is written above the register and is "slightly" more suited towards the lunch crowd. I ordered the "everything bagel" with cheese, egg, and sausage. My wife ordered relatively the same thing but with the vegetarian sausage option (I can't remember that stuff). One word - wow. I have never been much of a bagel fan but wow... that bagel was absolutely fantastic. I was very shocked on how delicious it was. It had a few hints of salt, but not like a salt lick. Even my wife said that she had many bagels (former Richmonder) and said these were the best she ever had. With regards to the drinks they have - they offer a range from health nut to "just want to spoil myself" drinks. Quite a nice thing to satisfy all the palettes considering the range of clientele I'm sure they get. The facility itself is very humble and "mom/pop-eque". If you're looking for a very simple "lunch date feeler" or a nice small place to get a quick bite to eat, I'd highly suggest coming here. My only gripe is that they're not open later! =) Food taste - 5 Overall Service - 5 Value of food to cost - 4 Facility - 4.5 Repeat customer? - yes read more

Having Yorgo's less than a mile away from my house is a dangerous thing. You absolutely cannot go wrong with their vegan breakfast burritos, "The Peterman" (with avocado), the buffalo chik'n, their bagels, vegan 'b'lt... Look, even if you're someone who loves your meat, you're gonna love their veg options. Just trust me. Think outside the gestation crate here. When "Rainforest Crunch" is their coffee of the day, I want to drink myself into a caffeine coma and stuff my face with their vegan chocolate chip cookies. The specials board gives me trouble all the time. Like when they had their vegan meatball sub with cabernet sauvignon marinara. That thing still haunts my dreams. I hope they never get rid of the vegan philly cheeze they've been serving, because it's seriously The Bomb. Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard. And go get some Yorgo's. read more

Items Selected: Toasted Sesame Bagel with Cream Cheese Toasted Blueberry Bagel with Blueberry Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Cookie Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Chocolate Chip Cookie Challah Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwich Located in Norfolk's historic Ghent district and owned by Greg Peterman since 2006, Yorgo's Bageldashery is considered by many to be the best Bagel Shop in all of Virginia and although it was indeed the only bagel shop visited during a prolonged stay in the state of my birth I can attest that the bagels were indeed quite excellent, as was nearly everything else sampled as part of Valentine's Day breakfast following a redeye out of Las Vegas. Small in size and friendly in service, the sort of place where even first timers are likely to be welcomed like old friends, ordering at Yorgo's follows a grab-and-go or counter-side order format and with several items available at each the most onerous part of the process is deciding which items sound best, a "bakers' half-dozen" providing plenty of carbs for our party of two...and likely several more. Beginning first with the restaurant's signature item, suffice it to say that each hand crafted and housemade ring proves a substantial upgrade on the doughy pseudo-desserts at Panera or the flavorless prefabrications at Einstein or Great American and with several house-blended schmears only serving to upgrade the crunchy exterior overlying a soft, stretchy core the best bet is to simply follow one's gut - the sesame seed iteration eggy and pronouncedly nutty while the blueberry bagel was only lightly sweetened by fresh berries, the berry-imbued cream cheese slightly less subtle with the combination conveying a lovely balance of savory and sweet. Moving from breakfast to things trending far closer to dessert it was perhaps an effect of the early hour and questionable 'day-old' status that saw a carrot cake sandwich cookie trend far too soggy to be properly enjoyed but moving onward to three other cookies, all confirmed as fresh baked, one would be hard pressed to decide which of the trio was best but at only $1.80 each one would be best advised to explore the options for themselves, though certainly not at the expense of the house-made Challah Bread Pudding - a rich, eggy block, heated to order, and doused with boozy caramel sauce that proved to be not only the highlight of the meal but also one of the best deli-style bread puddings experienced to date. read more

It's as if a giant plucked a bagel shop from a street corner in Manhattan, and placed it here in Ghent. Great tasting Jewish-style bagels, not the airier Greek bagels are the standouts. Just like what I remember from NYC, these bad boys are maxed out with cream cheese! Although the nova with cream cheese is a good one to try, my all time fave is a toasted sesame with scallion cream cheese. Don't forget the "cawfee" with "extra, extra." Thanks, giant!
