Got the Baker's dozen for work. Plain, Everything and Jalapeno. That jalapeno with jalapeno cream cheese was a bit much, so it you're getting that variety of cream cheese, stick with plain or garlic bagel. Nice assortment of bagels. Next time I'll try some of the sandwiches. Good service.

Placed an order on the Too Good To Go, and I am so pleased! They gave me a huge bag of 24 bagels plus a tub of cream cheese. You get a big variety of bagels and for the price it is totally worth it. I would definitely recommend it.

Rip off! Getting tired of ordering bagels only to come home and find out they shorted me. Someone teach these people a baker’s dozen=13 bagels!

Ordered through TooGood2Go. This store has one of the best surprise bags in the city with ~30 bagels for $5.99 last time I stopped by. Had to give away a few of them because there was no way I’d finish it all, then ate and froze the rest.

Great restaurants have great food and exceptional service. Good restaurants have at least one of the above. This place has neither. I would rather go each day without a bagel than pay money for this sorry excuse of a quick service breakfast establishment.

Bagels, sandwiches and food is good but do NOT under any circumstance order a luxury coffee/latte/etc.

Best fountain Sprite in the city. Fizziest sprite I’ve ever had in my life. So fizzy it jammed my brain up while driving and almost crashed my car. 10/10.

Great service and their bagels are great! Very convenient parking spot out front.

Three and a half stars but bump to four simply because this is so close to me that it's easy to pop in and get some bagels. The Asiago bagel is really good.Their sweet bagels are never overly sweet, which is nice.Their cream cheeses are great! I usually get the vegetable cream cheese with the savory bagels and I get blueberry or apple maple sugar with the sweet bagels.I've had the breakfast bagel sandwiches and they are decent but I prefer buying the bagels and just cooking the eggs at home. There are a few more flavors I want to try.

Workers have like 2 brain cells max combined. Went in there and ordered when it was empty. Waited 10-15 minutes as a bunch of people ordered and got their food before me. Finally someone asked what I ordered again and had to wait another 10 minutes, they didn’t even apologize.

One of Chicago's best bagels, in my opinion. Fair rates and prompt service. Excellent salads and cream cheese, too!
