Review: Bodo’s Bagels is the Place to Eat
Michaela Courtney, staff writer
There is no doubt there are several restaurants and eateries that make up the beautiful city of Charlottesville, but there is one little local shop that stands out the most when looking for a quick and delicious meal. Bodo’s Bagels is not your ordinary bagel shop, and this immediately becomes apparent when you walk through the door. The smell of warm, fresh baked bagels floods your nose as soon as the door cracks open.
Although it is a rare occasion these three local shops are not packed with hungry customers, do not let it scare you away. The staff are not only extremely friendly and helpful, but they can get through a twenty-person line within minutes, and before you can even decide what you want, it is your turn to order. Believe it or not, my sandwiches come out in under two minutes even when there is a line out the door! With a menu their size, it will take you longer to choose a bagel than the line anyways.
There are an endless number of sandwiches to choose from to satisfy various taste buds. Not only that, but you can choose from their many fresh homemade bagels to complete your sandwich. Choosing a sandwich is so wonderfully difficult, you will most definitely find yourself coming back again try the different ones.
If you are not a fan of bagels, that’s okay because they have salads too. There are plenty to choose from, so you are bound to find something of your interest.
My favorite sandwich to get is tuna salad on a whole wheat bagel with lettuce and tomato. One bite of this salty, sweet sandwich will have your taste buds dancing. It has a soft and warm texture on the outside and a cold fresh crunch on the inside. The perfect combination.
In addition to all of the mouth-watering flavors, Bodo’s also provides unbeatable prices. Each sandwich averages around $4, and some go even lower. If you are a college student, or just someone looking for a reasonably priced meal, Bodo’s is the place for you. My experience at Bodo’s was over-the-top amazing, I highly recommend you stopping by this local little shop and give it a try!
