It's just okay. Got the lox bagel and it didn't have enough cream cheese at all. The bagel also wasn't fresh.

Im a New Yorker raised and born and i can tell you this def ain’t New York. This is so dry. & $10 just for this dry sandwich is insane. I dont mind payinf for quality but this is not. and the fact they don’t have rolls is crazy. NY would never. Never again.

The strawberry cream cheese tasted like food coloring and artificial. Expected better tbh.

2/5 – Disappointing “lux” bagel experience I was in the mood for a luxe-style NYC bagel and decided to try Corey’s NYC Bagel. I ordered an everything bagel with plain cream cheese, lox, toppings, and a cup of coffee. The total came to around $28 with tip, which felt steep for what I got.
The bagel itself was just average — definitely not living up to the “NYC bagel” reputation. The flavors were pretty bland, and one of the toppings was cucumber, which didn’t really fit the mix in my opinion. For the price, I expected a much more flavorful and balanced bagel.
Overall, not a place I’d recommend, especially if you’re looking for that true NYC-style lox bagel experience.

This place is a notch above pure mediocrity. $20 for just a nova lox is insane. They are doing nothing even notable. Don’t go here, go to random spot. They have lower quality, and they’re not distinguishable in any way. As a person with an MBA I can sniff out whoever this Corey person is. He’s doing absolutely nothing.
Absolutely stellar. Amazing bagel sandwich and giant pizza slices. Sandwich was packed, bagel was delicious. Probably friendliest service I have ever had in Chicago. Will definitely keep visiting.

Came here while visiting the city and I would fly back for their breakfast bagel alone!

My favorite bagel year after year. My office moved, but I go back here whenever I can. Consistently savory, chewy and moderately dense bagels and fresh cream cheese. A generous portion at a fair price.
