I do like and appreciate this spot in the neighborhood. However evey time I've gotten a latte the espresso has not been calibrated very well. Which really surprises me as they make their own oat milk and syrups. When I was a barista we has a cheat sheet: too sour = too coarse & too bitter = too fine. Today my latte was too sour.
I would also like a sauce option for the sandwiches please. Maybe there is one and I just don't know not sure.

I love getting food from here, the only issue I’m having is attempting to order in their joes website. Every time I try to order the website glitches out and the business doesn’t have a phone number to make direct orders, which makes it hard when you’re on the go and just need to swing by to grab food!

Ordered a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Bagel. Was pretty average. Bagel Miller was better.

Do not get a salt poppy bagel for the breakfast bagel - it was disgusting like eating a bunch of salt. Also a breakfast bagel sandwich costs $13 which is way overpriced and was not worth it as I could not even eat it. Very disappointed.

Choice pastries and coffee aside, I love the amiable and thoughtful crew that is B&B! Even though they are my downstairs neighbors, I enjoy canoodling with the staff as I get my morning special, “The Ju Ju Bear” (which happens to be iced cold brew w/four shots of espresso! Ironically, my resting heart rate is 48 pumps per minute, but I digress!) I mean, how many coffee shops will give their patron a standing ovation when they walk in? Well they do! How many coffee shops name one of their drinks after their overly caffeinated patron? They do!
They adhere to their Ruby red neon lit sign that blissfully glows during the midnight hours to “Love Everyone” and they do just that

So so so expensive! I was horrified that I was charged $7.20 for a croissant! Needless to say, I will never return! They did not even offer to warm it up! As much as I would like to support local business, I will not be able to support this business!
I go here for the friendly staff as much as I do the delicious food, warmly decorated interior, and a piano in which I can take a break from my computer work.
The bagels and pastries are delicious, but the espresso is my favorite, with lots of flavor. You can tell they care about everything they make there and everything they do, including their environmental practices. Truly a gem that I hope exists for decades to come. Thanks B&B.

everything is wonderful here, especially the atmosphere…think fun library with material and games for old and young…and a piano that people can play, beautifully! 5 stars!

This is a great little coffee and bagel shop. They offer bagels, pastries, donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Everything we tried was fantastic and the service was friendly and prompt. The indoor seating area is full of interesting old books, photos and other items. Great little spot.
The apple fritters are absolutely wonderful and the old fashioned kind with chunks of apple and cinnamon swirl throughout the dough.

Best bagels in Chicago, eco-friendly, and friendly staff!

B&B is a wonderful spot with pretty decent food. Love the green mission and effort to minimize waste. What I didn’t like was the snarky response to warm up two pastries after having spent $70 plus to eat bagels and drink coffee. I was told it would be too disruptive to their process. Her statements and expression said, hey customer, don’t you know this is all about me! Appears that some of the staff have an attitude that is not as passionate about customer service as they are reducing climate change. I’ll take my business elsewhere.
