Bagels Restaurants near Evanston, IL

“These bagels are amazing!! My friend brought me some when she visited in Alaska, and now I'm rationing them every day so they last longer! 💕🥯💕“

“I have been a patient at a re hab center nearby for 3 weeks.Tempting me with different foods so I would eat better, she brought me a half of a turkey sandwich and supposedly a cup of vegetable soup.

I think the soup was a pint, it was fabulous, all veggies were cooked perfectly. When she pulled out the turkey sandwich without unwrapping it I thought by the Wieght I thought she got me a full one. I don't know how they make money. She was bringing them almost every day. I'm leaving here tomorrow and am really going to miss their food. I wish they really had one by where I live.“

“My team member Mary gifted me with some bagels along with the honey vanilla and strawberry spread and I literally couldn’t stop eating the bagels and spread. They were delicious! I can’t wait to grab more!!!!“

“Love the food and quickness to get it out. But I do agree with other reviews on the off putting staff. Cashier was not friendly/welcoming and didn’t prompt me but then gave judgmental looks when I didn’t press a button or do my card quick enough. Didn’t even ask me to scan for my rewards so I missed out on that order. Love the place so will continue to order here I just don’t like when costumer service is not giving.“

“I really like the bagels here and the sandwiches are great but they do this pet peeve of mine where they post their hours stating they’re open until 3:00 pm. I went there at 2:34 to get a toasted bagel with cream cheese to go and was informed their kitchen closes at 2:30. Just close the store. Lock the door. Turn off the lights at 2:30 then. You’re a bagel place. If you’re not serving food past 2:30 there is no reason to be open.“

“Being from NY these bagels are an amazing find. Cream cheeses are delish and the staff is so friendly. Go whenever I visit my daughter. Trying the frozen take home and bake myself bagels and can’t wait!!!“

“Picked up a few of the Best Bagels in the Chicago area!!“

“I recently visited this spot and tried the Nova Lox Bagel. While the bagel itself was fresh and well-toasted, the salmon was a letdown. Nova lox is typically known for being less salty than regular smoked salmon, but in this case, it was overly salty and overwhelmed the other flavors. The toppings, like cream cheese, capers, and onions, were well-balanced, but the saltiness of the salmon really detracted from the overall experience.

I also decided to try the apricot cookie, but that turned out to be a mistake. I was surprised to learn it cost nearly $5—far more than I expected for a single cookie. Unfortunately, the taste was disappointing; it was so unpalatable that I couldn’t even finish it. The texture was dense and off-putting, and the apricot flavor was barely there. It felt like a waste of money, and I left feeling dissatisfied.

The prices were reasonable for the bagel, but the quality didn’t fully match my expectations. As for the cookie, it was overpriced and not worth trying again. Overall, a mixed experience—there’s potential, but the execution fell short.“

“OH my goodness! I want to say thank you to the man who helped me this morning (I should have taken his name...). His suggestion (when I was totally indecisive) was scrumptious! Best breakfast sandwich EVER! Thank you!“

“We drove from Genoa City Wisconsin because we heard how delicious everything was. We were NOT disappointed. The meat on our sandwiches, one corned beef and one pastrami, was piled high! Homemade brined pickles and bakery items exceeded our expectations. Worth the drive and we will be back.“
