WOWWWWW! Had to go yo Chicago to get a NYC bagel! Best bagel and cream cheese I have ever had!
They slam you with cream cheese. Tons of it so beware. Overall great flavors. Big sandwiches. They don't skimp. Friendly service. Downtown so figure out parking accordingly, better to walk to. A couple of stool seating but not meant for dine in. Quick and easy. Happy eating!
Bagels are big and hearty and they have a nice variety. Good variety of cream cheeses, too. The sun-dried tomato cream cheese is my favorite. Friendly, fast counter service is always a plus!
I got the garlic and herb bagel with plain cream cheese. My bagel was actually super good. The plain cream cheese is where I felt like more flavor was needed. All that to say I'll be back to try the chive cream cheese. Great folks, fast service and good prices.
The corned beef sandwich was darn good! Looking forward to a good corned beef sandwich all week as it's hard to get on in Sioux Falls! I was told the bagels were great so I got mine on an onion bagel with horseradish! It was very good! A step to get in so not perhaps handicap accessible! It's clean and very nice staff very friendly! But small very limited seating like 6 chairs. So grab and go! We ate in a nearby hotel lobby! All was well!
Popped in here before heading off to a work conference. It was empty here around 7:30 AM, so I put in an order for a plain bagel with veggie cream cheese and a wheat bagel with butter. Very pleased they had diet Snapple available since I'm a type 2 diabetic and needed carbs because I was getting blood drawn. The wheat bagel clearly was dry on the inside. Either older or frozen. Not much butter on it. The veggie cream cheese was plentiful and delicious. Helped with the bagel, but I can't get over how bad the wheat one was. Service was great! So I think my visit was hit or miss- hopefully it's just a bad day.
First time here. I was hungry, needed something I wouldn't have to wait forever for. Happened upon this place. Bagels are good, but I wouldn't call myself a bagel guy per se. Went in ask the gentleman at the counter some suggestions, he kindly provided some lunch and breakfast sandwich options. I went the breakfast route and got Sausage and Egg on a wheat bagel. It exceeded my expectations. The bagel was soft but not overly doughnut. Very tasty I would say a great bagel. Sausage and Egg were good as well. I would recommend this place. Food + Service make this worth coming back. I'll try something else.
I tried a few cream cheeses here and my fav was the walnut honey. It had a great light sweetness and crunch from the nuts. The bagel itself was pretty standard. It made me miss nyc ones for sure - I'm not sure Chicago is quite there yet. There isn't too much seating - it's very much a grab and go place
It's all about the cream cheese! Soft, thin, rich with a slightly tangy undertone and filled with whatever you ask for-lox or veggies as options. The bagels were good. Soft bread with a mild crunch. Toasted and comfortably warm. Service is friendly and supportive of regulars. Seats are metal and not uncomfortable but not meant to let you linger.
Bacon, egg, mozzarella cheese, chive cream cheese, everything bagel. So good! Ate in - they have about 5 stools from what I remember but I would say comfortably(ish) fits 4. It was my first time there and unfortunately the cashier wasn't really helpful with my questions so I just went for it and hoped for the best and the bagel turned out great!
Only had a poppy seed bagel with chive cream cheese. Fresh chives and tons of them. Very good
It's Marathon Morning, and our daughter is running in her first Chicago Marathon. We mapped out our strategy to see her in a number of places, but on a Sunday morning in downtown Chicago breakfast options are somewhat limited, and with the influx of runners and spectators, we assumed anyplace we tried would be swamped. Corey's NYC Bagel Deli was on the way to one of our planned stops so we decided to see how the line was....and were surprised that the place wasn't packed. Sure, there was a line, but it wasn't bad at all. To say they have a lot of bagel and cream cheese options would be a massive understatement. The first thing I look for in any bagel shop is a jalapeño bagel, but sadly they don't have one. They do, however, have jalapeño cream cheese, so Jim is pretty happy with that. I'd never have a pretzel bagel before, so I thought that I'd give that a shot with the jalapeño cream cheese. Corey's also has a variety of breakfast sandwiches and a make-your-own-sandwich option as well. There's fresh brewed coffee available, and aside from that there are a number of bottled drinks available in multiple drink coolers. For as busy as they were I was surprised how fast our orders came out (about 15 minutes). I'm not going to lie, there was A LOT of carryout business going on, but the foot traffic inside wasn't terrible. The staff was hustling this morning. Whether it was taking orders, making food, or delivering food, the staff was on-the-go and worked like a well-oiled machine. So here it is, Sunday morning -- Marathon Morning -- and my wife and I are standing eating Corey's bagels in Downtown Chicago. I was 100% impressed with the jalapeño cream cheese. Not only at the amount on the bagel (there was a LOT, but that's ok because I love cream cheese), but at the taste. There were chunks of jalapeño and cilantro. I don't know that I've ever had cilantro in jalapeño cream cheese before, but this was a most excellent touch. An interesting thing happens when you stand in the middle of the street eating a bagel when the city is packed with over 100,000 extra people. Passers by notice you. At least 3 people stopped to ask if there was a bagel shop nearby. "Yes, it's called Corey's and it's two blocks down and around the corner. Just hang a left at the light and you can't miss it". I hope Corey's appreciates the business we sent their way! :)
Went to this place on a whim because it was close to our hotel. We were on our way to Einstein Bagels, but it was so cold and windy we blew right into this place. It was a serendipitous surprise. We each got bagels, I got the salmon and lox. It was delicious, but the fun was the way the worker's interact with the customers. They have a bell you can ring and they have a cute phrase they all say in unison. It's a small shop, not much area to sprawl out and eat. We opted to order takeout and take back to our hotel to eat. While waiting the owner/ workers made sure to wish a regular a happy birthday. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. Didn't have a corporate feel which is always a breath of fresh air. If you're in the area and want a bagel, check it out.
I recently started getting fresh bagels from Corey's deli and they are so much better and softer than the bagels at the grocery store. They have a nice selection of flavors too. I've also tried two cream cheese flavors so far - honey walnut and strawberry, quite tasty. Counter service could be more friendly, they aren't NYC rude but they seem inconvenienced when you ask questions. If you know exactly what you want, then it's a quick exchange and several days of yummy bagels to enjoy at home. Yelp tip: They do close at 3pm sharp. Best to go early anyways for best selection. Also, they can make bagel sandwiches with Boars Head cold cuts and cheeses. read more
Stopped by for a couple of breakfast bagel sandwiches because the breakfast at the Fairfield Inn & Suites across the street is a joke. Unfortunately, this place wasn't much better. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was disappointing. The cashier barely acknowledged me--not even a simple "good morning"--and spent much of the time playing on his phone while taking my order. Absolutely no sense of hospitality or customer service. To make matters worse, they were already out of turkey sausage at 8:00 AM, even though I had requested it on both sandwiches. How does a breakfast spot run out of a basic breakfast item that early in the morning? Then came the garlic herb bagel, which sounded promising but was an absolute letdown. It was so excessively salty that the salt completely overpowered any hint of garlic. The bagel was practically inedible. Someone seriously needs to revisit that recipe because the execution was way off. Between the lackluster service, the missing ingredient, and the overly salty bagels, this was a disappointing experience all around. $24 for two bagel sandwiches that were this underwhelming? A complete waste of money. I won't be rushing back. read more

Delicious fresh & soft toasted bagel. Customer service was nice and helpful, the entire staff gives a "thank you" shoutout for tipping. I ordered a Nova Lox sandwich and it was delicious & satisfying. I chose chive cream cheese and everything was fresh and equally balanced. Their potato salad is mashed, which was a pleasant surprise. Cucumbers were a bit too thick but maybe that's how they serve it. read more

This storefront is tiny but mighty. Serving up bagels with all your favorite toppings. I went super basic with a plain bagel and scallion cream cheese. The bagel was good could have had a bit more chew but overall delicious. The staff was friendly and extra points for stocking Dr Browns which is the appropriate accompaniment IYKYK read more
Corey's NYC Bagel Deli screams New York City. It reminded me of a more modern version of my favorite NYC bagel shop. Corey's is a quick walk from Merchandise Mall. The inside is spacious but they only have a few seats if you actually want to dine in. The inside is setup to easily accommodate to-go orders. Corey's has a large menu but it's spilt nicely between bagel sandwiches and common popular sandwiches. The first thing I noticed about Corey's is that they serve Boars Head. That is an instant win for sandwich lovers! During my visit I opted for the Rueben sandwich. The sandwich had a nice about of corned beef for the price. I was able to get two meals out of the sandwich. They also didn't over do it with the sauerkraut or dressing. I was also able to try my husband's bagel sandwich (egg whites, sausage and cheese). It was tasty so I do plan to visit again to get my own breakfast sandwich. Another treat that the restaurant offers is a livestream of what looks like Time Square or another NYC landmark on the television while you wait. read more
I was in Chicago for less than a week and came here for breakfast at least 3 times. The number of choices for the create-your-own bagel sandwich was impressive. Everything was fresh and well-balanced, chewy and delicious. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Went their during Saint Patty's bar crawl and the service was great and fast. They gave my friend a free bagel because she was hammered and too cheap to buy one. They were so sweet to us and everything tasted great. They had green bagels too! (Tasted that like normal plain bagels) read more

I love Corey's! They open at 6am each morning 7 days a week. Which makes it a perfect spot to start your day. Since it is Sunday I walked down there shortly after they opened and purchased my favorite Vegetable Cream Cheese to bring home to make breakfast with. It is beyond delicious and creamy and full of vegetables whipped in! Thank you Corey's also for your professional staff who are polite, helpful, knowledgeable, respectful, efficient and work well as a team. The lines always move quickly! There are a few places inside to sit and eat. The establishment is always clean and organized in a way that patrons can self service. read more

Bagels of course and more such as coffee and deli salads at this small place that's especially busy at breakfast. Corey's is a New York style deli. It has a lot of bagels to choose from, as well as salads and sandwiches. Gets pretty busy and there's not much room to eat inside. They have a few seats but most people get takeout. I was expecting to get takeout but was lucky enough to find one available chair. It's a pretty tiny place and there's only a couple of counters with a few chairs at each. The deli has a lot on display beyond just bagels, such as the many pasta salads. It was late in the morning so I got something on a bagel. The lunch options kind of combined with it too. I had a NYC Vegetarian on a sesame bagel. It's about $9 but it's big. This comes with a choice of dressing, and has lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. It's simple but good. They also have many other meaty favorites like pastrami and reubens. Good place especially at breakfast. It has a large variety of bagels and many toppings to choose from. They also have pizza if you want some of that instead of sandwiches. read more
OK. I'm a displaced New Yorker who lives in Louisiana and is now visiting Chicago. Was hungry. Saw this place on yelp. Got a bagel and cream cheese. Outstanding. Really enjoyed it. See the picture. The service was very fast, professional, and deficient. This will not be the only time I eat here during my vacation! I highly recommend the meal I ate. read more
