Everyone was…read moreincredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home, which always stands out when you're visiting a new city. The outside is super cute too it actually caught my eye when I first found them on Yelp, and it's just as charming in person. I tried the Teddy Graham latte on the barista's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did. It had great flavor without being overly sweet, and I got it with whole milk which made it perfectly smooth and comforting. If you're in downtown Chicago, I'd definitely recommend checking out this spot. It's a cozy little gem with great vibes and even better drinks.

Remember, besides picking your bagel and maybe what type of sandwich you'd like, you can pick your spread (I liked the chive) as well as your side. The lox included (huge) half a pickle as well.

The bagels themselves were super disappointing: very tough to bite into and tear. I'm a big fan of NY bagels and have been trying to find good bagel spots in Chicago. This one really broke my heart. It was fairly expensive, too. I had a bagel at a NY airport today just to get over the sadness, and it reminded me why I love bagels. I did like the cream cheese and lox at Gotham, but the bagels are the whole point.

You'll find it in the basement of an apartment building, it was odd to find but my GPS took me right to it. I was expecting a cute little cafe but what I got was a dingy basement so I ordered my plain bagel with dairy free cream cheese and walked back to my hotel. It was a good bagel but I'm not sure I would make the special trip again. Staff was friendly and I maybe paid around $5. No real coffee options but other food looked interesting.

They run different specials as far as soups go, and they make their bagels offsite because the kitchen area is small. Everything is reasonably priced and they have friendly service from the staff. I had a corned beef on marble rye sandwich, they had a gumbolaya special for their soup and was offered a sample, after tasting it could not leave without a cup. Both of the items I ordered were pretty solid. I work downtown quite a bit and if I am craving a bagel or sandwich or soup, I will stop by once again. Give them a try, I believe they've only been open a handful of months so they could use your business. With the prices you pay for food downtown, this place is not bad, so your pockets won't be hurting. These breakfast sandwiches are a lot better than the ones you'll find at your typical Dunkin' which is actually located at the street level next-door.

The sandwich although fresh, warm and crispy, is also rather bland. For a more savory experience, I would add some fresh harissa, a Tunisian hot sauce made with roasted red peppers. Whatever Mediterranean spice Ground Up says they can add just doesn't present itself distinctively to properly complement the sandwich.

The bagels came out pretty quickly and the cashiers were kind which is always a plus. Smaller seats for children. Lovely little bagel place. The only downside I see is that they use white flour as opposed to whole wheat. And they don't have a lot of sugary options available (like cinnamon crunch, blueberry, etc). But America needs less sugar so it's all good.

Prior to this location opening up, i visited their south loop location. The bagels were good but…read morethe wait time even online is insane. Over an hour for a couple of bagels. Didn't really feel like dealing with that especially in the south loop with no parking. Then they opened up this location, with the same insane crazy wait times. Parking is still challenging in the Fulton Market area but not as bad as the south loop. Fortunately for me, I was prepared for that and ordered an hour ahead. We arrived right around the promised time and they had just finished bagging our order. We ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel, a plain bagel with blueberry and a Chicago bagel with giardiniera. All the bagels were good, but this Chicago bagel with giardiniera was different. And different in a good way. The spice from the Giardiniera was perfect. I would have preferred more of a relish type of the giardiniera mixed in with the cream cheese instead of thicker pieces of peppers but overall a tasty bagel the would get again.

It's a little pricey, but worth it as an occasional treat. They also had a great variety of pastries that looked delicious.
