"Overall quiet spot with a nice chill atmosphere and good service. The layout of the place was nice for people who want to stay a while to talk and hang out while eating. The bagel sandwich ("the bageler") was really good and the chipotle mayo was tasty. I do think that the bagels by itself (untoasted) is a little chewy/doughey more than Im used to. But also I tried it untoasted so maybe it tasted slightly off because of that. I also shouldve tried a different drink. The mocha was a little too chocolatey and not as much coffee taste as I wouldve liked. Again, these are all personal preference. Otherwise a decent spot to pop in if close by."

"Came here on a Sunday morning around 10am. It was not crowded or too busy when I got here. I came with my child. They have a big menu, and they kettle boil the bagels. They are good. I got a poppy bagel with garlic and chive cream cheese. And my child got a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. I liked my bagel, I did ask for it toasted and if it was toasted I couldn’t tell. It was fluffy, and very yeasty which was good. It had a lot of flavor, salty, and doughy. I did think that the poppy bagel didn’t have enough poppy seeds. We also got a strawberry lemonade and a cold brew. On our way out at 10:30 it was crowded, line was long, definitely recommend getting here earlier on a weekend. Overall it was good, it is rated among the best bagels in Chicago, considering the competition it may be a winner."

"Sooo delicious. Tried it on a whim last weekend and had to come back. The workers are nice and quick even though this place is slammed weekend mornings. Best bagels I’ve had in the city in a long time!"

"I got The Bageler sandwich on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it was absolutely killer—crispy, melty, and packed with flavor. The bagel had just the right spice and a perfect toast. But what really stood out was the service. The young man who took my order was incredibly polite and genuine—just a solid, friendly vibe all around. He even nailed my coffee exactly how I like it, which never happens. Great food, great people, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to come back. 10/10 would recommend. 🥯☕🔥"

"Blueberry bagel was really dense so probably not the best for a sandwich. The Hatty B sandwich was so good! Chai latte just tasted like milk so I dont recommend or add a shot for a creamy coffee. Sesame bagel was so delicious and soft. We had it with The Bageler and it was delicious. I need to come back and try a coffee drink and I different bagel."
