"I ordered an open face MCB on gluten free everything bagel with vegan cream cheese which was delicious. My husband ordered a white fish salad bagel on an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese which he enjoyed. We also ordered a generous side of pickles. The coffee was solid too. The interior is well designed and the booths offer cozy, private seating."

"Belle’s Bagels is a true gem! The bagels are perfectly chewy, with bold flavors and quality toppings. The lox sandwich is a must. Cool Highland Park vibe, worth the wait every time. 🥯🔥"

"Came for a weekday brunch fix to catch up with a friend and we both really enjoyed our bagels and bloody marys! I got the loxsmith (wonderful flavor, zesty and pickley) and he got the bacon egg and cheese (so cheesy and savory!). Both had great flavor and just the right about of crunch to softness ratio on the bagels. The bloody marys here are so good! They load it up with toppings. I got celery, baby gherkin (pickled mini cucumber), olives and a lemon slice. It was one of the best bloody marys I've had and it's super affordable! The service and ambiance is great too. Will be back soon!"

"Just had the best latke I've ever had, paired with the most memorable apple sauce, thick and spiced, almost jammy in texture...I'll be back just for those alone! The open faced bagel with lox and crispy salmon skin was also a win, and the server was super friendly. So glad I stopped by!"

"This place has some great brunch and bagels. I got the shellsky and friends got the pec and bec. The shelsky had some great pastrami-spiced lox. I liked that it had some nice cool relish with mustard. It tasted really good and the bagels were nice n soft. This place has old school diner vibes and it is pretty neat. Very lively and busy. The waiters were very nice and clear about the orders."
