Derek Kucynda: There's so many different bagels sandwiches to try! (Try Dank'n'Eggs, Chicago Fire) - All delicious and cheap too! And they deliver too (and fast!!)
Kellen Terrett: Steamed Bagels are the best way to eat bagels, and CBA makes the best bagels in Chicago.
Dana Jensen: The s'mores cereal treats are super good, the staff gives great suggestions, and there's plenty of room. Free Wi-Fi. The dank 'n eggs and koko's catastrophe are my favorites bagels.
Shelley J: Best bagels ever. Can't come here without getting an everything bagel with smoked salmon cream cheese. Really good coffee, too, by Counter Culture.
Cassandra Cheong: I usually get their poppy seed bagel with garlic chive cream cheese until I tried the Everything bagel. OMG. It was so good! Love the wide variety of spreads & kettle bagels - & the chai latte too!
Kelly Schneider: Great local coffee shop! Their coffee is always delicious and their croissants and bagels are made in house! Try the chocolate croissant. Yummmm

Max Blekhter: come for the stumptown coffee (one of two places in chicago that serve it) and stay for the great bagels
Maria Diaz-Camarena: The Lox bagel sandwich is soooooo delicious!!

Nicole Duhoski: Love this place. I'm still on the hunt for a better bagel in Chicago, but it was better than most. Everything else is delicious. Matzo ball soup, corned beef, breakfast hashbrowns-yum.
GourmetLive: If you only order a bagel at The Bagel you’re thinking too literally—and missing out on this deli’s true specialty, Kreplach, which are robust, beef-filled dumplings.
Cory Tiffin: Best bagel in town. Best bagel in Chicagoland? Once Upon a Bagel in Highland Park.

Bobby Kennedy: Same couple who've been running Beans & Bagels the past 2 years but they've finally been able to rename the place something original. Also kept the great coffee, sandwiches, and service.
Mike: A small coffee shop in the Lincoln Square area. Seating is limited. They brew Counter Culture coffee and have surprisingly good bagels with homemade cream cheeses.
PureWow: Montrose Brown Line: (Bagel + lox + cream cheese) + cappuccino = the most delicious way to start your day. Read more.
Michael Carroll: Coffee, bagel, and wifi in a comfortable leather chair. Nice way to spend an hour
Jim Brule: Great atmosphere - and everything bagels!
Colby Bechtold: One of my fav coffee shops around! The bagel with PB, banana, and honey is simple yet DELISH!

Cindy Ella: Had the Manhattan bagel and almond milk latte. Both were really good. The bagel was definitely fresh and the latte was made really well. They even brought a piece of bacon for my dog❤️
Tim Chen: Excellent coffee and some unique food options (try the fig jam bagel!) and friendly staff in a casual environment (looks like a bar for some reason lol). What's not to like?
Gianna Nebbia: Breakfast sandwiches are great. Ask for extra ice in your iced coffee if you don't like when it all melts in just a few minutes. Tasty coffee!
