Bagels Restaurants near Highland Park, IL

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

“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 drive almost an hour to come here. so well worth the drive! the bialys ste the BEST!!!!!! The service is awesome. so friendly!“

“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.“

“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! 💕🥯💕“

“Love this bagel shop/fresh muffins too. My son loves their breakfast sandwiches, I love all the variety of bagels, muffins, and coffees. My favorite is the cheesy bagel twists. Variety of cream cheese flavors as well.“

“great lox and bagel sandwich“

“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.“

“Best bagels ever, great cream cheese! Customer Service was nice!“

“Muy rico todo me encanta el cafe“

“Update:
I went a second time to try more things. I wouldn't recommend the potato pancakes. I don't know if it was an off day but the potatoes were dry, like they were left out for too long and then fried.
But the belly lox sandwich was amazing! On the salty side but that's how we like it. It came with a side of potato salad which was also amazing.

Previous review:
The food was good but not great. The bagel and cream cheese were good and standard but the pastrami hash and eggs were okay with not a lot of flavor. I'll definitely go back to try different Bagels and other items.“

“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.“

“Great place! The Bagels, Salmon spread, tuna salad and egg white salad are just a few of my favorites here. Everything is amazing and fresh. Staff is friendly and service is fast! Sandwiches are made to order with all the right toppings. Would highly recommend them and they cater too!“

“The owners have done a great job of creating a fun outdoor space that makes you forget that you are sitting opposite the Walgreens parking lot! I always enjoy the tacos and am so glad they have a skinny margarita on the menu! The service is mostly excellent. Whilst this place is nothing fancy it is perfect for casual yet delicious food. I wish they were open on Friday and Saturday but understand why they are not.“

“Very tasty! I ordered the breakfast bagel sandwich and WOW, so good. I also ordered a few bagels to take away: plain, chocolate chip, cinnamon sugar, and pretzel w salt.

The girl who helped me was very sweet and recommended the house-made vegetable cream cheese. Mmmm. So good! Much better than a grocery store or chain bakery.

Unfortunately, I agree with another reviewer who said that some employees are unfriendly and don’t seem happy to be there. I witnessed an employee waiting on an elderly gentleman who needed more patient assistance. Ironically, the employee helping him was wearing a shirt that said “Be a Nice Human” 😕 In my experience, a genuine smile can go a long way. In customer-facing positions, it’s essential to be kind, patient and caring of those who are patronizing the business and possibly leaving a tip.“

“Superb bagel shop! Bagels are fresh and a wide variety of "schmears" are available. Einstein Bros. is easily superior to Big Apple Bagels, and this shop makes for a vast improvement in Plaza del Prado. The assortment is similar, but the bagels at Einstein Bros. are fresher than those of any Big Apple location. This is a wonderful place to go for coffee and/or breakfast.“
