I’ve only gone twice but I LOVE this place and will keep returning! They are a bit pricey, but worth every penny, without a doubt. Their bagel sandwiches are amazing. So much cute swiftie things in there as well. Love love love. the veggie cream cheese is also so good

Great place great owner only gave it a three out of five because the coffee is very touch and go sometimes too weak sometimes too strong. However, if you're not going for the coffee, the bagels are great.

Very disappointed to be there for the first time, never again. Bagels were dry hard and cold! Not to mention I ordered 3/3 and gave me 2/3… came back and they said sorry waited about 30 mins and got offered bagel chips! What a joke im sorry…

I am so sad to say that today I ate my last bagel sandwich from Elle’s. My last few sandwiches have been awful. The bagels have been rock hard and tasteless (I get the jalapeño and garlic so you’d expect big flavor with those. Zero. Tastes just like their plain bagel), the cheese and the bacon aren’t quality. The eggs are fine. Today’s sandwich was cold (not a hint of warmth AND THE CHEESE HADN’T EVER MELTED) and I ate it not even 5 minutes after it was made. I have been coming to Elle’s since the beginning and before that, I was a daily customer of Ira’s, her predecessor. Oh man, do I miss the quality of Ira’s bagels, cheese and bacon. Top notch. The last 3 sandwich’s from Elle’s were no better than Panera’s and Panera’s are awful. Major quality control intervention is needed.

Best bagels and bagel sandwiches in the Chicagoland area! I love the Asiago or Jalapeño bagels with chive cream cheese. Highly recommend!

Oh my God this bagel shop is absolutely adorable. The bagels are outstanding in texture and flavor, the strawberry cream cheese is so soft and flavorful, and the bagel sandwiches are just outstanding. Definitely so much better than Einstein bagels and they give you more for the price too. Highly recommend!

I love this place! Everything is amazing and the staff is very
I am not sure how I lived 10 minutes away and just discovered Elle's Deli. What a wonderful surprise and bagels that truly rival New York / New Jersey Bagels. They have a nice menu of bagel & cream cheese options and then range of Breakfast and Lunch sandwiches l. The Team was super friendly and very helpful. The shop is more set up to grab and go but they do offer catering as well. I'm a big fan and will be coming back for certain. I would encourage you to give Elle's Deli a try. You will be glad you did! As a side note the way i found out about Elle's was through a guy I know from New York... we were talking one day and he mentioned that I have to try Elle's out... and then followed up with the fact that the "bagels are as good as a New York Bagel just a little smaller". Sold ... and i had to go. They delivered! yum.

Best bagels around. Get the fat Matt. It's worth every calorie. Also, everyone who works here is kind and helpful. The inside has a cute little shelf too that I can't help check every time I'm in for little gifts.

Can I give zero? Waiting 45 minutes (and counting) to get two bagel sandwiches is beyond ridiculous. I've never seen a place with zero organization like I've seen here today. I like to support local businesses, but I will be heading to Einstein's from now on. And now they're saying our ticket may be lost so we can continue to wait or get a refund. There's an hour of my life I'll never get back. Don't waste your time!! So frustrating!!
