Bagels Restaurants near Buffalo Grove, IL

“Love this place, best Bialy’s ever!“

“I finally was in the area and managed to stop by and try this bakery out today. Having a nut allergy, safe bakeries are extremely hard to come by. The fact that this place is also delicious will have me back for sure. Nice employee, delicious treats, I definitely recommend.“

“I drive almost an hour to come here. so well worth the drive! the bialys ste the BEST!!!!!! The service is awesome. so friendly!“

“I've been here three times in the past year and have been wowed each time. The employees are always nice and accommodating. The food is perfect each time, the bathrooms and restaurant itself are very clean, and the space is welcoming! That's saying a lot from someone who worked in a lot of restaurants over the years and can easily spot issues. Bagels are chewy, thaw nicely after being in my freezer for a bit, and make excellent sandwiches. Thank you for the Windex and cleaning up my water bottle catastrophe ;)“

“Love this bagel shop/fresh muffins too. My son loves their breakfast sandwiches, I love all the variety of bagels, muffins, and coffees. My favorite is the cheesy bagel twists. Variety of cream cheese flavors as well.“

“mhhm good coffee kept me warm last winter when lotteried out 3 weeks in a row last winter while at journeys“

“Best bagels ever, great cream cheese! Customer Service was nice!“

“Update:
I went a second time to try more things. I wouldn't recommend the potato pancakes. I don't know if it was an off day but the potatoes were dry, like they were left out for too long and then fried.
But the belly lox sandwich was amazing! On the salty side but that's how we like it. It came with a side of potato salad which was also amazing.

Previous review:
The food was good but not great. The bagel and cream cheese were good and standard but the pastrami hash and eggs were okay with not a lot of flavor. I'll definitely go back to try different Bagels and other items.“

“Today was my first time going there. Doughnuts were absolutely fresh! Will be back! Thanks!“

“Great place! The Bagels, Salmon spread, tuna salad and egg white salad are just a few of my favorites here. Everything is amazing and fresh. Staff is friendly and service is fast! Sandwiches are made to order with all the right toppings. Would highly recommend them and they cater too!“

“Man, I'm so hooked on this place! It's a beautiful Sunday Mother's Day afternoon--the lot and drive thru are packed! I ordered my food online for pick-up!! I ordered my usual 2 Chorizó breakfast bagel sandwiches and 2 Nova Lox sandwiches, but this time i also ordered the Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwich and Churro Party Bagel --Everything was fresh and delicious, just like every order I've placed at this location! The crew here is very calm, pleasant and professional, during peak rush times like today(there were 5 or 6 people in line ahead of me plus 3 other people waiting for their order). Although my pick up order wasn't ready because the bagels i originally ordered were already out of stock, they had an even better alternative bagel available (the cheddar jalapeño one) still available, so I had that bagel instead for my 3 breakfast sandwiches, which proved to be a great choice! Anyway, I usually eat my order in my truck in their lot, while everything is still fresh and hot and watch Howard Stern interview videos on SiriusXM, so in a way, the whole thing with not having my original bagel choices available, worked out! With the consistently large number of customers who pack the lot and drive thru every time I come here, plus this location's staying power over the many years it's been in Palatine, it deserves a much higher rating--so that 2 star rating on Yelp.com doesn't appear to be accurate nor believable at all!!“

“Lox bagel is my go to. I have one a week.“

“Very tasty! I ordered the breakfast bagel sandwich and WOW, so good. I also ordered a few bagels to take away: plain, chocolate chip, cinnamon sugar, and pretzel w salt.

The girl who helped me was very sweet and recommended the house-made vegetable cream cheese. Mmmm. So good! Much better than a grocery store or chain bakery.

Unfortunately, I agree with another reviewer who said that some employees are unfriendly and don’t seem happy to be there. I witnessed an employee waiting on an elderly gentleman who needed more patient assistance. Ironically, the employee helping him was wearing a shirt that said “Be a Nice Human” 😕 In my experience, a genuine smile can go a long way. In customer-facing positions, it’s essential to be kind, patient and caring of those who are patronizing the business and possibly leaving a tip.“

“Superb bagel shop! Bagels are fresh and a wide variety of "schmears" are available. Einstein Bros. is easily superior to Big Apple Bagels, and this shop makes for a vast improvement in Plaza del Prado. The assortment is similar, but the bagels at Einstein Bros. are fresher than those of any Big Apple location. This is a wonderful place to go for coffee and/or breakfast.“
