ChicagoistJuly 6, 2016The Swanson Sandwich of Greatness is a hangover-abating mix of ham, bacon, sausage, roast beef, scrambled egg, hardboiled egg, smoked cheddar and American cheeses. Read more
Serious EatsMay 14, 2013The chicken salad on the Muenster Mash is truly a mash up of cheese, nearly pulverized chicken, and a dill-heavy combination of herbs and garlic, all piled onto an everything bagel.
Bialy with havarti is a great quick breakfast. Good coffee but I am a coffee drinker and it's too strong. But they are very nice and will leave you room; add skim and half/half, issue remedied.
Derek KucyndaSeptember 4, 2013The Bread Intruder is the best thing you'll ever put in your mouth. For extra deliciousness, add pepperoni (or salami...or both!) #NomNom (also ask for Honey or Spicy Mustard!)
Dana JensenFebruary 21, 2015The 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.
Meredith BMay 29, 2015Can't go wrong with any sandwich. They serve delicious metropolitan coffee - try a latte. Take your photo in the photo booth!- Derek KucyndaOctober 19, 2012There'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!!)
Linda FelterApril 14, 2014They steam the bagels here and have a huge sandwich selection to satisfy any taste. Best in Chicago in my opinion.
So many choices. Everything is delicious. Portions are not huge. I like the bialy thin bagels.
CarolDecember 13, 2015Despite the fact they completely forgot about my order and I ended up waiting 20+ minutes, the Denver was really great. They even gave me a cookie to make up for their mistake. Would return
Christopher KingOctober 22, 2013Freshly baked bagels; delish. Crunch and Munch is my favorite (pictured)

Annie HoganJune 25, 2014This place was so good! The bagels are crazy hot when you pick them up, but delicious!!- Kellen TerrettSeptember 27, 2014Steamed Bagels are the best way to eat bagels, and CBA makes the best bagels in Chicago.
Steaming their bagel sandwiches really put this place on another level. Dizzying selection of sandwiches. The Clayboy is fantastic!
Justine D'AmourNovember 9, 2013Lovers entwined - Mr. EVERYTHING w/chive&spinach cc AND Ms. CINNAMONRAISIN w/plain old-fashioned cc. Reunited and it feels so good!!

Ned's Gold is the best sandwich on the planet. 2 for 1 wednesdays when u dine in
The Tonya harding Club is worth every bite. Plus more hot sauces then the Lucky Horseshoe...
