The best bagels in Chicago ? I was so surprised at the quality and flavor variety of Tilly! This shop was so crowded - we came right before a rush around 9am on a Friday. We got the Lox, Crispy Potato with Chorizo, and a half dozen bagels. Can’t wait to go back again!

This is THE SPOT. The bagels are bomb, be careful if you ask for butter they really put a lot which is great for some and eh for others. Amazing selection of bagels and monthly bagel options. I was in Chicago for 2 days and I made sure to come here both days.The store is small so not much seating and you might have to queue outside if there are too many people inside the store. Service was great overall the person managing the line outside was a little short with us but nothing too serious. GO HERE!

Really cute bagel shop, very friendly staff, very busy but went fast. Great selections and great coffee! Had cold brew, so good. Bagel was delicious and soft yet chewy, cream cheese was so good with bacon and chives. Loved it!

I’m forever on the hunt for a fresh bagel and I gotta say wow! Tilly Bagel may have had the best bagels I ever had! Hard and crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We tried everything, blueberry, and tomato cheddar, the everything bagel was the highlight for me! Staff was friendly, atmosphere well designed. The drip coffee was also great. Make sure to try this place out if you’re in Chicago!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. One can also watch the bagel dough being rolled! Crowded, and limited seating, but clean, nice place.

I am admittedly a breakfast bagel snob (and a picky one at that). I can truly say that Tilly’s has the absolute best ones out there. No comparison.Pictured is their egg and cheese salt bagel with jalapeño cream cheese - pickled and fresh pieces mixed in. So so so good.

First time here and I was pleasantly surprised! Not too busy when I went (about 8am) and I got my bagel and drink in less than 5 minutes. They have complimentary syrups for drinks including lavender and vanilla which is such a nice touch considering so many coffee shops will unapologetically charge $1 extra for syrup. The bagel I ordered was $5 (with cream cheese) and I felt super full after only eating half so the $5 goes a long way. Also the location is super convenient for on-campus students!

The staff is wonderful. They are very helpful. The bagels are good but I would love it if they made the strawberry cream cheese a staple. It was so good and definitely homemade. I would also love to see the strawberry chocolate bagel come back. I am a savory person but this bagel is an awesome treat.
I really loved this bagel shop when I was visiting Chicago! The bagel sandwiches are delicious and filling!

Literally the best bagel sandwich I've had in my life. Everyone working was so friendly even though it was quite busy and you could tell they were all really excited about the food they're making. Which makes sense because it's incredible.PLEASE OPEN A LOGAN SQUARE LOCATION!!

An excellent bagel, a little different from the bagels in New York because it is very crispy. Full of special toppings and everything is very fresh.

I don’t make bagel critiques lightly but I absolutely LOVE this bagel shop. Get the bagel of the week. Get the weird/different cream cheeses. Join the owners on one of the many runs in the city.Cannot recommend this place enough
