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!!!!

BEST BAGEL I've had in a long time! only had cheddar bagels, my fav, but it was FANTASTIC!! drive an hr. to have it, but worth the trip!!

The bagels had really good texture and they had something extra in their everything. Was it cumin? I was not sure but it tasted really flavorful. The lemon&dill cream cheese was a bit too salty, and I do hope to get more cream cheese given its price😢. Would come back and try their sweet cream cheese next time. Overall I’m happy to found this place as a bagel addict

My glutenfree haul from Lefty’s. In case there are others who can’t eat wheat and are wondering what to get. Just go. #glutenfree

I have been to Montreal and had the bagels and loved them. These are good but seem a little too soft to me. Admittedly, it's my first time to Lefty's. I will definitely try again before having a definitive opinion. Great, fast service. A bit pricey, but what isn't anymore?!

The bagels are great, the schmear flavors are awesome, the staff is friendly, but the prices are high. The sandwiches have priced me out and the portions of schmear for the bagel have probably made Lefty's a < 1/month occurrence instead of a weekly option. That being said, it is still awesome to have a good bagel place in the neighborhood and if people are buying, people are buying.

Fabulous space but even more so Montreal style bagel making where it's soaked in honey water and then put into the fire oven. They have a great bar like space where you can watch the whole process.
Even more so, the bagels are delicious. The favorites include their kerrygold cheddar and the rosemary pink salt. The sandwiches are also yummy - we tried the Eddie veddar which had the bacon, egg and arugula and the other one with lox and capers. Both decadent and filling.

New Yorker here (which makes me a bagel expert?) and I'm pleased to say the bagels are pretty, pretty good. That said, Lefty's does not move at a New York speed. We need to pick up the speed if we want to get five stars.

Exceptional! Delicious bagels, sandwiches. Great sense of humor on the decorations. You need to make sure you go early or else there will be no bagels left by noon! Do not miss these fluffy tasty, Montreal style bagels. We are so lucky to have them in our city.
We shared the lox sandwich and the egg one… Not worth it, I am a good eater and couldn’t even finish them. I was excited for this place but it was a big disappointment.

Helpful, happy people - really appreciated the awesome service. Tasty bagels, not a value / hole-in-the-wall spot, but a great Saturday morning treat

Kept missing their hours but so worth the wait! Caught the rosemary bagels right as they were coming out of the oven. They suggested not to toast - HOLY MOLY! One of the best bagels in the Chicagoland area.

More expensive than Starbucks and they don’t even have an online ordering system. I don’t get it.
