Chewy’s Bagels
3138 W Cary St, Richmond, VA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in the heart of Carytown, this bagel-forward spot pulls in devoted regulars with genuinely excellent, fresh bagels that justify the Saturday morning wait outside. The espresso and cold brew are solid companions to your order, the space feels open and welcoming with cool artwork on the walls, though the coffee customization options are fairly limited if you're looking to get creative. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a quick grab before work or a lingering sit with friends, as long as you arrive early enough to beat the line.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

The espresso and the cold brew were great. (I could only wish the cold brew used cold brew ice cubes) Bagels seemed fresh and yummy. It was spacious inside. The people who worked there seemed nice and helpful.
Bagels are a highly debated topic here in Richmond. “This place does this, this place does that” etc etc etc. In my experience, which is a few years in New York City, and having baked professionally, I can firmly say Chewy’s bagels are the best bagels I’ve had in my entire life.…
Be ready for a wait...in fact the line was outside the store at about 9am on a Saturday. Note to self, get there earlier. But it was a worth the wait. I got in to order pretty quickly but waited a bit to get my bagel with cream cheese. I took it home to eat with a nice fresh…
