Yorgo's Bageldashery

Yorgo's Bageldashery has been a beloved fixture in Norfolk's historic Ghent district since 2006, offering what locals proudly call the best bagels in town. Founded by Greg Peterman, who brings decades of bagel-making expertise from his early days at Chesapeake Bagel Bakery, this cozy shop delivers an authentic New York bite that keeps customers coming back for more. The interior has evolved from its humble beginnings—once described as a dungeon with battleship gray walls—into a warm living room away from home where great food meets excellent service. Beyond their legendary bagels, Yorgo's has become known for innovative seasonal drinks like the Iced Summer Berry Green Tea and the indulgent Fluffer Nutter Cold Brew Latte. The catering division has grown substantially, serving local favorites including Elliot's Fair Grounds and Borjo's near Old Dominion University. Community involvement runs deep here, with the monthly Pay it Forward program supporting the Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center. Whether you're a sailor from the nearby boats, a regular grabbing your morning coffee, or a visitor exploring Ghent, Yorgo's welcomes everyone with fresh-baked bagels, friendly faces, and that unmistakable New York authenticity that has made this bagel shop a Norfolk tradition for nearly two decades.
