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! 💕🥯💕“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Bagel Miller is a go-to spot in Lincoln Square. The branding and atmosphere are fun and creative, the staff is welcoming, and the bagels, coffee, matcha, and chai are delicious. They have a gluten free bagel option too (although it is not homemade like their bagels made with gluten). The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey but still worth it for the taste.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“😋Simply Delish😋 Great Staff & the best bagels in the loop/streeterville area. Yummy coleslaw, huge half pickles, lots of cream cheese options, and very tasty tuna salad✨Highly recommended!“

“Ordered for Easter. Picked up and the bagels were warm and fresh. Employees are very nice.“

“Great bagel shop to grab breakfast and a coffee to start your day. With the usual selection of bagels, you can't go wrong a simple one with cheese or one as a sandwich with beacon and eggs.

They had a good selection of coffee for those who need an extra wake-up jolt. The staff was help and great with kids. Great morning, stop to start your day.“

“We were in last week. Had chicken noodle soup and a poultry salad sandwich on a salted pretzel bagel. Both huge and delicious. Great value for what you get and the man at the counter was very kind and patient with these first time visitors!“

“I would easily consider bagels to be one of my favorite foods, and going to grab an iced latte and a fun bagel flavor is one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday morning - so when I heard that the Gotham Bagels South Loop location was open, I knew I had to check it out! Gotham Bagels has been on my list for a LONG time, and it definitely did not disappoint! We tried a couple of their specialty sandwiches along with a classic sweet bagel to round it all out! My absolute FAVORITE from the meal was the Brighton Beach - the smoked salmon was perfect, the ratio of ingredients was incredible, and the flavor of the everything bagel tied everything together! I’d highly recommend checking out the South Loop Gotham Bagels location!“

“Delicious bagel sandwiches, chill atmosphere“

“Our friend needed 50 bagels last minute, and most places declined our order as it is a very busy weekend being St.Pattys day weekend. This bagel shop fulfilled our order and saved the day! Very grateful for their willingness to fulfill such a large order last minute, excellent service, and excellent bagels :) I promise next time the order will come sooner, but thank you so much for your help in a pinch!“

“This place is absolutely gas. 100/10.

For under $7 you get a perfectly made brisket sandwich with a good portion on a fresh made bagel.

I love that the staff really could care less if I was there or not but still get great service and products.“

“I am absolutely LIVID right now. One of the wonderful employees suggested I try their ‘Rosemary bagel’, and guess what? I did. And it was so dang good that now I'm gonna have to try ALL OF THE BAGELS. The audacity to make something so delicious that it keeps me coming back for more… in this economy? You betcha. Less Starbucks, more places like this!“

“My favorite coffee shop…EVER!!☕️❤️☕️❤️☕️“

“Really enjoyed my visit here ☕✨. The food was delicious, the coffee tasted amazing, and I especially loved that it was served in a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup 🥰☕. The customer service was outstanding - everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the visit 🙌. Even though the place was super busy on a Sunday morning, the atmosphere felt lively and enjoyable with a great overall vibe 🎶🍳. I also noticed how quickly the staff cleaned the tables after guests left, which kept everything looking neat and organized 🧼✨. Even the restroom was spotless 🚻. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again soon 💛😋“

“Pretty damn good bagel. Crunchy chewy crust and interior with some give and moist.

Sandwich was a bit too fully loaded for my liking my but good ingredients.

Cherry on top was having light roasted coffee 🤌“

“Delicious! Get the Ravenswood.“

“The food and the service here is really outstanding. I really love the breakfast bagels, the mother jones, hamlet, treehugger, and yosh kawano sandwiches, the do-rite doughnuts, and the chocolate chip cookies and the service is very warm, friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Keep up the great work!“

“Coffee for the people, by the people.
Detail oriented business that puts their customers, quality and consistency at the top. Anything you grab from the menu is a hit, there’s something for everyone,
even your pup can get it! 🐕
Also, there’s a patio to work out of when it gets nice! 👌🏼

Mini hack: Order from the kiosk so you can browse away without holding up the line and making things weird for everyone.“

“delicioso sabor tradicional del pan y el queso crema con cebollin me encantó!! también el que tiene fresa, la atención del personal es buena“

“Love the neighborhood 😊 👌🏼“

“Absolutely delicious coffee, great bagel and pastry options as well. Perfect for a quick bite or coffee anytime. I love the Sundried Tomato and mozzarella on a bagel.“

“Was at Port Clinton Art Fair, had just gotten Italian ice, and saw these beautiful croissants out of the corner of my eye. I quickly did an about face. The Crème Brûlée croissant 🔥🔥and the Almond Croissant 🥇if you guys already do a Koigin Aman, I need to try it, if you don,t, you should!,Your laminated dough is wonderful & buttery, top notch.“

“I thought the bagels and especially the service was phenomenal. Shout out to Cayla the manager for expert and courteous service. She is a breath of fresh air!“
