We all agreed this was some of the best and freshest bagels we’ve ever tasted. Their authentic New York‑style water bagels are made from scratch every day, boiled and baked right on the premises, giving them a perfect chewy interior and rich flavor you just don’t find elsewhere.
The egg and bacon sandwich we tried was packed with egg and stacked tall with bacon, and it was simply the best breakfast sandwich we’ve ever had—hearty, satisfying, and just the right balance of ingredients. We loved them so much that we ended up buying three dozen bagels to take home.
Bodo’s also offers a ton of bagel flavors and plenty of spreads and toppings so you can build something exactly how you like it. If you’re in Charlottesville and want fresh, flavorful bagels done right, this place should be at the top of your list.

We ate here last year on a road trip and can’t stop thinking about how delicious these bagels were! We live in LA, and every time we eat bagel we just compare it to Bodos and get sad we are so far away! Miss u Bodos!!

Their food is incredibly delicious, of exceptional quality, and their service is incredibly fast and organized. The only downside is that they charge for common toppings like tomatoes and cucumbers for example

While visiting Charlottesville, we kept hearing that Bodo’s Bagels was a must-try spot—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. When we arrived, the line was already forming out the door, but the staff worked incredibly quickly and efficiently. We waited roughly five minutes in line and another five minutes for our food, which was impressive given how busy it was.
The bagels were fresh, delicious, and definitely worth the stop. There was also plenty of seating available, which made the experience comfortable despite the crowd.
Bodo’s Bagels did not disappoint and is well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Bodo’s Bagels is an excellent spot for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality bagels. The bagels are delicious on their own or made into hearty sandwiches, with a wide variety of fresh-made cream cheese spreads that are equally impressive. Service is consistently fast and efficient, even during busy hours, and the restaurant is always clean and well-kept. Overall, Bodo’s Bagels delivers great food, friendly service, and a comfortable environment—definitely worth a visit.
When in Charlottesville...Bodo's is mandatory! Don't be intimidated by the line...it moves fast. Traditional bagel, warm, a little cream cheese, flavored or not. Crazy affordable and delicious.

I am on Keto diet and they helped me to have something good. They fixed an egg with meats, tomato, onion, cheese and cream cheese. Over and beyond the call of duty. Very tasty. Very nice people.

I love this place! The bagels are delicious and flavorful, and always cooked perfectly, and the bagel sandwich options are extensive. They're very busy during breakfast and lunch hours, but don't let long lines discourage you too much - they are very efficient. With a line out the door, I've been in and out in 10 minutes with special order sandwiches.
Great food, fast service.
