Best bagels outside of NYC & NJ. Plenty of other menu options. If you get an order to go, remember to check it before you leave. We've had things here and there not get included.

Came in right after they opened and ordered a lot sandwhich on an everything bagel. It was so tasty, the cucumber and onions were so fresh and the salmon was delicious. Just a really really good lox and it was the perfect way to start the day

Excellent, fairly priced food with plenty of healthy options. Love the bagel and soup combo. Employees are very friendly and keep the line moving at a steady pace.

Great bagels and sandwiches and chicken noodle soup with vegetables. We also ordered a dozen bagels to take to relatives and they were not in the bag when we unpacked it. However, we called and they quickly delivered them so we still give them high marks. Just check your order before you leave, if it's complicated.

I had the best bagel from Once Upon a Bagel! My teammate at IVme Highland Park recommended it, and I’m so glad she did. It reminds me of the classic bagel delis in NYC—quality, fresh, and so tasty. I’ll definitely be back soon and often!

Incredible bagels and cream cheese. The closest thing to a new york deli I've seen in the Midwest.
