Incredibly busy spot, even on a weekday, so much so that it took over 30 minutes to get our two bagels, which is already kind of off-putting, but not as much as the rude and unfriendly attitude of the gentleman whose seemingly only job is to staple receipts to paper bags, which I experienced when I took the liberty to go inside to check if our order was ready 20 minutes after placing it. While I was in there, this man pretty much told me off for taking up space and not knowing (first time customer, not sure how I was supposed to know) that they'd text me when my order is ready. The bagels were great, we were really happy with those, but the service made me not want to go back.
This small little breakfast spot has great bagel sandwiches 🥯! On Saturday mornings they can be really busy. Tried a variety of bagel sandwiches and all were amazing. It’s a little more pricey but better than a grab and go breakfast sandwich from most other chains. They only have a few seats inside but a few outdoor tables.
First time visit today and will definitely be going back. Friendly staff and a fun place to wait for my breakfast bagel. Oh and my bacon and egg breakast bagel was pretty dang good. I also ordered a plain bagel because if you get that one right, then everything else is gravy. And the plain bagel is very good. It was actually soft and not gummy like some other bagels can be. Plenty of street parking on Sunday morning about 8:30 am.
Great local place that makes one of the best bagels in Richmond. Went for the Jersey Turnpike and WAS. NOT. DISAPPOINTED. Perfect sandwich, no notes!
Visiting from Maryland and stopped at Nate’s on my way through Richmond. I had a Bacon, egg and cheese plain bagel and and everything bagel with strawberry cream cheese, both were great. The barks were toasted perfectly.
Staff was friendly and service was fast. I highly recommend Nate’s
Great bagels try the rosemary and see salt it's absolutely fantastic I had the breakfast Bahn mi. The pork belly just fell apart in your mouth. Definitely worth it. Great cold brew coffee as well.
We drive in every 2 to 3 weeks from Ashland to get our 2 dozen fix of bagels to freeze and eat. I am from Philly and I have to say these bagels might be better than those in NE Philly. We are moving to Powhatan but will def keep making the trip to Nate's to get our bagels. Tried them all here and no one compares to Nate's. Always friendly staff no matter how busy. Wish they would come out to Short Pump where I do my shopping but happy to come into town to get these tasty bagels!!
I got a sea salt bagel with double cream cheese and buttet - immaculate. Wonderful texture. For the first time ever, I wished I got less creamcheese, just so I could appreciate the bagel more.
Great independent bagel store featuring a full and creative line of bagel sandwiches. You can buy their advertised menu items or build your own. Nate's is a great option for at-home parties since you can buy a variety of types of bagels and fillings for every taste. There is now some limited sidewalk seating, but the inside still feels cramped; I hope that a larger venue is in the future. Be warned: these are not small bagels.
As a West Coast transplant, I’ve found a little slice of East Coast bagel heaven right here in RVA at Nate's Bagels. Their bagels have that genuine NYC feel, which is something quite special. We’ve made it a routine to place an online order once a month, and it’s always something we look forward to.
The ordering process is straightforward and picking up our bagel loot is always a pleasant experience, thanks to the friendly staff. They definitely add a cheerful note to the whole process.
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show - the bagels. They are consistently fresh, with that perfect chewy texture and a hint of crispiness on the outside, exactly how a good bagel should be.
If you find yourself in RVA and are in the mood for some quality bagels, Nate’s Bagels is the spot to check out. The combination of tasty food and congenial service makes it a must-visit. Trust me, it’s worth the stop!
