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.“

“Bagels are amazing. Customer service is amazing. These are the best New York bagels.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 💛😋“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed the bagels and cream cheese selections and taste. I wish there was somewhere to sit when we were there but we couldn't wait to have one so we started eating our fav's right in our vehicle.
It's definitely worth the trip to try some tasty bagels and any other selections you might favor. We'll be back for sure!“

“Amazingly authentic, from the food to the environment. I absolutely love this place.“

“This Einstein BB is my favorite location to come to! Their sandwiches are delish, and cold brew w/Almond milk is to die for!😋👌 Great atmosphere, super friendly, and they're always quick and accurate with my orders! I give them 5 stars and 3 thumbs up!👍👍👍“

“I’ve been coming to this location for over a year, and the experience has been consistently great. The bagels are delicious, and even during busy mornings when the lines get long, the staff always stay friendly and work efficiently as a team. Their positive attitude really stands out. Keep up the good work!“

“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.“
