Delicious! Get the Ravenswood.
I live 3000 miles away and I plan my Chicago visits around these bagels.
I travel to Chicago at least once a year and I make it a point to stop at CBA every time I'm in town! The food is vibe is great, staff friendly and the food is consistently delicious. It's a perfect, family friendly spot to start your morning.

The Chicago Bagel Authority - Armitage offers dense and flavorful bagels, expertly steamed to perfection. Their breakfast menu, including the popular Hangover Helper, is a hit with customers. The friendly staff provide great recommendations. Customers can enjoy a delicious bagel in a lively atmosphere, although be prepared for eclectic music choices.
The giardiniera cream cheese is a standout, with one reviewer stating that the creator "deserves a raise." The bagels and bagel sandwiches are solid, though they can be a bit messy and stacked. The wait can be long, but the restaurant provides a counter to give customers an accurate estimate.
While one customer was not a fan of the steamed bagel, finding it too moist, they noted that the sausage, egg, and customizations like avocado and jalapeños made for a decent breakfast sandwich. With a wide variety of options, there is always a reason to return and try something new.
