Baker's Crust Bagel

Great location, the vibe is amazing!!! There is plenty of room for parking out front and it's in the shopping center on the other side of Bakers Crust. When you come in, it feels like you are kind of "forced" to order through the provided kiosks but they offer in person ordering in the coffee bar in the back (Yeah!!! They have an independent coffee bar!).I ordered a Whole Wheat Everything Bagel with Avocado and Roasted Garlic spread and my wife got a sandwich. It was $6 for the bagel and schmear and $14 for the sandwich. Feels a little steep, but the area is that kind.Overall, wasn't SUPER impressed with the Avocado and Roasted Garlic spread, had the hue of avocado, but the garlic was very understated. The bagel itself was great, and my wife DESTROYED her sandwich.I gave it 4 stars-because I will have to try it again.

Is it the best bagels in VB? Maybe if they get your order right. Is it slow and disorganized while 2 employees make bagels and 5 employees watch them? Definitely. Take your employees to the real Essa Bagel in NYC and let them see how a real bagel shop works. You are partnering with them on bagels great. Now get 1/10th of their speed and efficiency and you'll be good.I left after 20 min of waiting. With less than 10 orders completed in that 20 min. I've literally been down the block in line at Essa Bagel and been served and out the door before these clowns can make a bagel and cream cheese.Oh and I loved how the manager or something came out halfway through, looked at how slow they were moving, and then disappeared back inside without helping at all.

We've now visited three times and have had great experiences every time. One visit we dined in and the other two were takeout. Their pastrami is next level. Incredible. I don't think I'll ever be able to come here again without getting it. It's sliced fresh to order, served thick, warm and nicely fatty. Just get it. Also loved the lox bagel. I got mine open-faced and added capers. If you're gluten free, this is the place to go. A few GF bagel options and a separate toaster! We also loved the NYC Hot Chocolate and the maple bacon cream cheese.The few things that didn't quite hit the amazing mark for us was really just the açaí bowl. They do bagels and they do them well - stick with those!

I visited Baker's Crust Bagel when I heard they have Ess A Bagels from Ny! I was so excited and was not disappointed. Im not a huge fan of having to order at an iPad over a person at the register which I will lean towards doing the next time I go. I got a pumpernickel everything bagel with egg salad and their pasta salad on the side. I loved my whole meal. I liked the pasta salad but I think it should more clearly say that there is ham in it cause that was a bit of a surprise. I ate at the restaurant and found it to be pretty relaxing and chill. The people who made my food were friendly and were great at accommodating for the 2 gluten free bagels I brought home to my sister. I'll be coming back!

Easily the best bagels in VB and taste just like the original in NYC. The service was quick and friendly and I even got a fabulous latte with my bagel. 10/10 would recommend!

I went a few days after the grand opening. I ordered via the screens so did not interact with the staff except for who I believe to be the manager and he was fantastic. I ordered the hangry eggs bagel sandwich but was disappointed it wasn't spicier (it's with jalapeño cream cheese). It wasn't spicy at all. The bagel itself was okay, a little dry. My mom ordered the Bennett açaí bowl and it was delicious! I highly recommend.

I am currently here. Real time review. It's 11:46 am. An employee takes your order and gets your name. You pay and sit and wait. I got the NYC BLTA on an everything toasted bagel. I had a special request which they accommodated. I wanted my bagel inside out. No one but the employee that took my order was wearing masks.....not that I care, just an observation. There is plenty of parking and it is near Cobalt Grill. I got my food at 11:51. The bagel was barely toasted.....it was more warmed up. If you like it toasted like I do make sure to ask for it. There is a grab and go area with pickles and meats and salads. Sadly they don't sell pickles individually....I would have tried one. It's very casual....your food comes in a bag so if you sit and eat your bag is your plate. Self serve drinks. It's very clean and bright. They also have a kiosk to order. Looks like there is a coffee bar in the back with some "bar" seating. My bagel was good. Some things are pricy but everything is today....but maybe a bit more pricy than other bagel shops in the area. I would go back. I would like to try a morning trip. FYI....definitely all very self serve. You get your food when they call your name, get your drink and throw out your own trash. Please throw out your trash.

When they 1st opened up I contemplated ordering a bagel for myself. I'm glad that I hadn't. I waited for kiddo to finish up with classes, be home for Thanksgiving then we would split an Everything bagel. As we ordered, I was taking with one of the employees. It turns out the bagels themselves are made and partially baked in New York, then finished off here. Their cream cheese is made on site. And boy, do they love to add lots of cream cheese to the bagel! Don't get me wrong, I love cream cheese, I was just teasing the staff about the cheese overload. Sort of, kind of, in a small way. I will definitely go back, I will just have to have them not be so heavy handed with the cream cheese. Oh! BTW, I ordered the veggie cream cheese and they were generous on the veggies that was mixed in it.

Bought 2 plain bagels, 2 poppy seed bagels, a tub of plain and a tub of maple bacon cream cheese to go this morning. Prices were on par with other bagel shops, the maple bacon cream cheese was 10 stars!! But, after getting home my 2 plain bagels were raw on the side, so I tossed them - So disappointed!

Leaving a review because it seems like a lot of the other reviewers have never heard of a real bagel shop. You go in, you order a bagel to your likings and you get it in a bag, as you should. Simple, fast and good. We didn't have any good bagel shops in VB until now- I mean it. The food is delicious and the bagel itself was amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Going to be a regular spot for me and my fiancé. Everyone who says anything differently is too picky and wants to be catered to at all times. That's not what bagels shops are for haha. Also! My best friend is celiac and is so happy with these gluten free bagels! You don't find them often.
