This place is truly unbelievable. Not only are you getting the most high-quality product around for an extremely reasonable price, it is the place where friendships are formed, loved ones can enjoy great food together, and most importantly—where memories are made. I proposed to my girlfriend here after a mutual love of the establishment helped us bond together in the early days of our relationship. Oh, and make sure to get 2.

Such amazing bagels. As a breakfast sandwich, toasted with butter, or with lox and scream cheese, everything is perfect

I have been eating Bagels Forever bagels for over 30 years. Last week I stopped by the store for the first time since the pandemic. The store front has always been a little rough, but this time it was especially dirty - items on the floor, broken signage, general uncleanliness.
The service has also always been a little lacking. I was one of two customers in the store around 4pm on a Thursday. The young lady at the counter was helping the customer while two other staff members were over by the deli talking about their weekend plans. I stood there for over 5 minutes without anyone acknowledging my presence. Once I was greeted and had put in my order, I stood there for another 5 minutes waiting for it to be completed. It was two bagels, sliced and toasted. The young man working behind the deli blandly said my name and didn't even acknowledge me.
The bagels taste better fresh from the store, but after this interaction I think I'll just go to Hy-Vee and purchase them frozen.

Delicious bagels, super affordable! I got a Dunkin iced coffee and a bagel with cream cheese for like $5.75. It was delicious and I’m ready to go back!
