Don't know why they're so into signaling their ideology with the cups and attitude. But pastries are good, quite good. Weird that they're closed Tuesday and Wednesday - if you're overworked then hire someone. Service is slow. Place has lots of untapped potential that's unused thanks to "politics".

I live in the area and frequently visit Beans and Bagels for coffee, sandwiches, and pastries. However, I recently ordered a turkey sandwich with bacon and was charged $29 for just that, with no coffee or extras. I was taken aback by the high cost, and unfortunately, the sandwich didn't meet my expectations. Overall, I'm very disappointed.

I absolutely love Beans and Bagels. Amazing staff, delicious bagels and wonderful coffee. One of my favorite early morning spots ?

What is this, coffee for ants? 8oz mugs only is a CHOICE. Listen I’m not local, Im just a guy who wanted a cup of coffee but had to buy two. Sure, I can come back with my own mug and get as much coffee as I want, but unless ya named the store “Bring Your Own Mug”, it’s kinda guaranteed to be a disappointing first trip, which mine was…

First off, the whole coffee set up is fine. Bring your own cup and you’ll avoid paying $1 for their reusable cup (which is actually a nice tin cup and kinda cool). Pick up system is not clear but whatever… THE ISSUE I have is with the breakfast bagel. $11!! Includes a small bagel which they sell for under $2 by itself, a single piece of thin bacon, a slice of cheese, and one egg. I know labor/fixed costs are high, but the sandwich is so bland that you can’t even argue it’s about the taste/flavor. It’s simply a rip-off. They even sell a massive Ham/cheese croissant for $6. I was honestly so flabbergasted… I might not return for a coffee just because they p*ssed me off with that weak sandwich. ?

Edit: thx for your response, and thx for clarifying that you served me spoiled milk, and here’s the screenshot of your original response that you deleted
If you charge the same for the 8oz paper cups of coffee as you do the person who brings in a 32oz Stanley…are you really living “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need”? Or are you just offloading the cost of your eco-friendly cups on the consumer? Very capitalist of you. Also you served me coffee with spoiled cream. I won’t be back
My favorite coffee shop in the city. Rain or shine.

Stopped by to grab a lox special on an everything bagel which was so delicious! They had a great variety of coffee beans to choose from and I really appreciate that their staff continues to mask. Right off the Rockwell brownline with ample outdoor seating and really fun murals to muse over while you’re waiting for your order. Can’t wait to pop back!
They have a black bean hummus as a bagel topping. Wished they had dairy free cream cheese but appreciate that everything is homemade and zero Waste.
They also have oat milk which is homemade too.

Great bagel spot. They also have some outdoor seating that is perfect for the warmer months in Chicago.

Overpriced and poor service. It’s window service only and they have no system for handling online orders. Even if you catch them in the 2 seconds they pop their head out, you still may stand out there for 30 minutes waiting on two donuts and a latte.
