Bagels By the Book

A lot of varieties of bagels. However they're all a bit doughy as if they're not fully cooked. I also got a drip coffee which was weak and not hot. Overall a bit of a disappointing experience.

What a cool and cozy spit to eat delicious bagels of every variety imaginable and drink some of the best self serve coffee in lake county. You can tell by the line it is good. The service is so friendly and everything is so fresh. Sandwiches are prepared in front while you wait. We will definitely be back for more.

Danny's the best

It’s a cute bagel shop and for a quick morning stop, it’s not too bad.
That said, these are not nearly the greatest bagels I’ve ever had. For the claim of “by the book” these bagels absolutely didn’t live up to the hype.
It’s got the vibe of a trendy Instagram place rather than anything close to an authentic deli with authentic bagels or the “Jewish style” deli the articles claim to make it out to be.
There are much better bagel options in the northshore, I would only recommend this if you need the convenience or a good Instagram spot.
Also has the reputation of having a lot of cops

From this current post—I got a bagel with “premium” cream cheese which was just cream cheese with large bits of scallions
The egg bagel had poppyseeds in it…that is nothing like an egg bagel from Chicago, Montreal, New York or anywhere

The food was good. Unfortunately, the experience was let down by disorganized service and staff attitude that didn’t match the high price point.

Ordered a toasted sesame bagel with scrambled eggs and bacon. Unfortunately this was extremely bland. The thinnest egg I have ever seen. I wouldn’t even call it scrambled as it was a single thin egg pancake. The bacon was alright but not enough flavor to make up for how bland this was. The bagel itself is fine but for $8.50? A single thin egg and two small strips of bacon? I can make this at home. Lesson learned.

Tried the Greek Freak. Pretty good. The restaurant was loud, and it was hard to have a conversation, but it was lunchtime. The place was busy.
