Steamed bagels? Who would have thought that this is exactly what a bagel sandwich needs. They're just so juicy and filled with moisture. Especially as bagels are usually more dense, this works perfectly to be steamed. Amazing pick me up for the morning!

If you've ever been to Bagel Deli at Miami University in Ohio, it's pretty similar. They even have a Miami U flag hanging up, so I wonder if it was on purpose :) Either way, the place is great. So many vegetarian options, and the flavor combinations they have on the menu are really interesting and delicious. Service can be kinda slow sometimes, so don't always expect a quick in and out on your lunch breaks.

Visiting Chicago for the first time and had the pleasure of this place being down the road from my stay and let me tell you that I haven’t had a bagel like this ever. The customer service was fantastic and so was the food. Would definitely make this an everyday thing if I lived here

We used to live up the street and this place was always a favorite. I’m back visiting for the first time in years and it is as good as it ever was. I am vegan now and, while they have limited options, they have great vegan sandwiches! It was the perfect snack at the time we needed it. The service was quick and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

Super good sandwiches. Get there early they get busy. Ask your server for a recommendation. My server recommended the Eggosauraus. It's a spicy sandwich with roast beef, bacon Avocado, egg and cheese. Goes good with a bag of chips and black coffee.

Holy moly! Extensive menu. Steamed bagel sandwiches to die for and worth the slight wait. Really great vegetarian menu -- the Webster Fitness is legit. Also a really great low-key location next to the Belmont Red/Brown/Purple line to tuck away for a minute and recharge. The staff is always friendly and helpful, too! We've been stopping here for years and it is always solid.

I got some type of chipotle, avocado beef sandwich and taste was a 5 ⭐️rating. They do have the option to order online so that was a plus however this was our first time going there and the wait time on a Sunday morning was about 30 minutes+. Which I supposed it indicates you’re at a good brunch spot. I didn’t have the opportunity to sit down so I didn’t really see what the indoor seating looked like. This place was recommended to us from a friend and would most definitely go there again.

I loved that practically any bagel could be made vegan! I got one with vegan cream cheese spread and vegan cheddar - it was super delicious. Coffee is great too! Sadly, there is an uncharged for plant-based milk which is always a downside for me and hochrage for iced coffee, which is understandable, but the total of coffee and bagel was around 20$

Seriously good bagel sandwiches and great rice krispy treats too. Loved it so much we went twice on our trip. Coffee is great too. If you're in the area you have to stop by! Also they have some seriously tasty vegetarian options as well!

Very good bagels and sandwiches. If I lived in Chicago, this would be a 3 meals a day place, it's that good. I had a Lincoln Pork, very filling, and very tasty. My daughter had a plain bagel with cream cheese. Short wait, and made to order. If I get back to Chicago, I will be stopping again!

Delicious bagel spot in a very happening part of the city. Parking is an issue, would recommend walking or ubering to it, but it’s well worth it.
