Chicago Bagel Autdority in Chicago

Would give 5 star if they had also really espresso coffee. Only have filter coffee. Otherwise best bagels in town I would say!

Good bagels steamed. The one on Belmont is much less hectic and larger

I had a long blonde hair in my sandwich. Grossed me out. I wont be coming. Food tastes good tho.

Always loved the food. Haven't been in a while. Is the chicken chili back?

Staff was very nice. Food was fresh!

I used to love this place when I lived near by 20 years ago. Guess what? They're still just as good. I wish they'd expand to Raleigh :)

Never seen such a varied bagel sandwich menu in my life! These guys thought of everything, and I definitely appreciate the amount of sweet options. If you forgot your glasses (like me), grab a printed menu from the center of the bartop. It's literally steps from the Brown line and I can't wait to come back!

Tasty breakfast bagel was just the right amount of food.

Nice place with delicious bagels, can be quite busy though and its tough to get a seat.Still, excellent food!

Great selection of bagel sandwiches with some unique combinations! I had the Lincoln Pork and it was delicious.

I don’t know if giving five stars is justified when you’ve tried only one menu item. But when the “item” is that good, one can not resist!I got “The Lean Jean”. For some reason, I couldn’t find it on their overtly extensive menu, but one of the servers suggested it to me. God Bless her soul! The best bagel sandwich I’ve ever had, hands down! Turkey sausage, egg whites and cheese sandwiched in the most perfectly toasted rye bagel. It came together beautifully, like one heavenly entity. I was walking down Belmont Avenue one Sunday afternoon, looking for satiating brunch options and this place definitely did the trick!I got a mocha to go with it. It wasn’t the best but it went well with the bagel sandwich. Loved the bustling atmosphere as well.

This place is super cool, the food is incredible. I wish they would be more clear on how there ordering process goes because it is a little kaotic. And a lot of the customers were rude and unhelpful to a newbie. Which I don't fault the business but maybe if they were more aware of new customers and how to give them a good experience. Still loved the food.

As a Miami University alumnus that gets a drunk craving for Bagel & Deli (the mother restaurant of CBA) this is the best thing to see in Chicago. They have quirky, steamed bagel sandwiches that taste amazing and cure any munchies or hangover that you have. Great to see the homage to some Oxford, OH Staples and some originals as well.

I loved LOVED the eggosaurus, the environment is nice and prices are good.

Tasty bagels and friendly staff. Nice back patio. Beware the calories!

Really friggin good.

The salmon lox was good.

This is a perfect local bagel / sandwich shop. It's bustling, the food is delicious, and it feels like it hasn't changed a bit in 30 years. The location is great and the bagels are even better.

Nice warm steamed bagels with lots of different options. They are soft and full of flavor. Had the chips special which did not disappoint.

Nice place. But the process of ordering is confusing. If you are on the shy side, and easily get overwhelmed with an array of choices I recommend sitting down and looking at the menu. The bagels are amazing.

Never. And I repeat, never- order something for pick up here. You’ll be left standing in line for your order and you won’t be alone. Order was for pick up at 10:49 am and am standing by the register still waiting at 11:21 currently.

Horrible business. Would not suggest this place to anyone. Your employees are rude.

I had not had a seat be a bagel in over eight years, and when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon 15 minutes before they closed, I got the best bagel ever. there was a good small Rush happening, and even though I miss ordered and needed an extra accessory, the employees were more than happy to accommodate me last minute. the staff was very friendly and efficient, and made me a perfect bagel even though I had modified some of the ingredients. Can't wait to return!!!!!

Yes the queues are unnecessarily hectic but it's more about the ambiance. The sandwich options are endless as well as tasty. Don't pass up giving this place a try if you're in the neighborhood. Pro-tip: thee is an extensive selection of hot sauce right behind you.

Best spot to Grab a Bagel Bite.

Food was okay. What I didn’t like is that when these 2 older ladies left the employees were mocking them after they left. I was the only person in the restaurant so I heard it loud and clear. Total hipster punks.

Italian bagel tasted pretty good, sandwiches are steamed not like other sandwich shops. Not a very big place with a handful of tables to sit at. Overall excellent place, I would eat here again.

It is set up like a bar. Step up when you’re ready to order. The food came hot and fast on a very busy day.

Very solid spot to grab some bagels. Good for breakfast sandwiches or just a straight bagel. Nothing too complicated which is nice when your heads hurts and are trying to order things in the morning.

Great food. Great employees. Management is nice

Excellent, but omg don't try the Pain 100% sauce. I literally died.

Staff was really friendly and had a lot of options to choose from. Great location close to the train too.

I love you sandwiches here. They are all served on bagels and the menu is organized by meat choices, so it's easy to find what you want. I like the Mathilda and the Konrad. When you go, be prepared for the possibility of uncensored rap music. The last time I went, I saw a couple people enter the store and leave without ordering because the music was distasteful to them.

A sure stop Everytime I visit the city! Incredible steamed Bagel sandwiches with any topping combination that you can imagine!

Hell no, do not waste your precious time coming here. Everything was old, the store smelt unsanitary and the food was not fresh, ugggh never again.

We in 2020. This place does not have an app, does not take order by phone, you need to go their website put name, email, phone credit card number and zip code. No paypal, google pay or anything.......all for what to get a 3 dollar bagel. Wait for 20 - 25 minutes. Really? I might as well go to grocery store to buy bagel, cream cheese eggs and avocado.

Love this place! Steamed bagel sandwiches are the best but they also have a variety of other options. Right off Armitage brown line makes it so convenient to get in and out of. Will be back

Solid bagels. But they should be toasted, not steamed before serving. Got the Eternal Sunshine. It was a good level of spice and all the flavors are pretty classic combinations.

Steamed bagels......something I never thought I would love, they aren't soggy either. The selection of "steam"wiches is enormous with funny names and a good selection of meat/vegetarian options. Recently tried the stink.

Delicious bagels and huge menu! Very fin and homie. Will def. Visit again.

Seriously good bagel sandwiches. I'm not sure how a plain bagel is from her but the menu of sandwiches is extensive and tasty! Thank you for a great experience!

Great for a quick breakfast.

True this place has some ok food, but I have always thought they used day old bagels that NEEDED to be steamed. But for me that’s where it ends. It seems when I go in person I am served somewhat efficiently. Now if I order from a delivery app, it takes 45 minutes. Sometimes my driver will even text me that they are waiting 10-15 minutes for food. So let’s be clear, they treat delivery customers like second class citizens. Skip it unless you go in person and can complain to a human. Steingold’s seems to be faster and they are further away?

I absolutely love this place. I started coming here a few weeks since it’s down the street from my job and I haven’t regretted it since. So far I have only eaten the Egg McMahon & Breakfast Bagel multiple times and I feel like I don’t need to try anything else lol. I saw there lunch & dinner menu and I’m just amazed at the amount of combinations they have come up with. I always love how I don’t even need to have something to drink while I’m eating the bagels and that’s unheard of

Cute little bagel shop with a relaxing environment in the heart of Lincoln Park. Bagel sandwiches were tasty and the coffee was strong.

Never been disappointed! Creative sandwiches, fresh bagels. I always get an iced coffee with some chips and a banana chocolate chip cookie in addition to my bagel 👌👌

Tasty bagels and fun names. What more could you ask for.

First time there, will definitely be coming back. Especially for the rocking tunes. Less salt on The Sausage Fest please. 👍

i miss you already my gorgeous - best in town

I have no words. The best breakfast sandwiches in the city. Love the cold brew. Website ordering works great.
