Set well back in the shopping center, under the lurking hulk of the Jewell, they'd be easy to miss. Don't miss them. Their bagels are excellent, their home-made cream cheese is excellent, and the ladies are always cheerful . I've been here dozens of times since I "discovered" them in April - they're now a regular stop enroute to the dialysis clinic, so 2 - 3 times a week to enjoy "YUM"!! Their Lox Sandwich is perhaps a bit pricier than I'd expect... but the Lox they source is way better than the stuff I get from Costco . I save that for "special days". The shop is ALWAYS lickety-split CLEAN. Even on nasty, unpleasant days - and the smiling ladies make the morning brighter, too. If ever a small business deserved to prosper and thrive, this is a fine example. And although previously discovered by I, there is yet another treat in store for me: walking in there on freezing November morning. I expect the smells to be AMAZING. Cheers!

North Naperville finally has a bagel spot AND it's a GAB?! Mind blown!!…read more This location recently opened, 3 days has been opened, brand new. I think with some time and tweaks I can easily update this to 5 stars. It is designed similar to other GABs and is kept clean. Staff members were friendly and the owner was there when my husband and I came in. Everyone is still learning but in my opinion they all seemed like pros. I'm comparing this location to the Elk Grove village location. TBH the EG location is the best out of all the franchises. How can Naperville be comparable to EG? My tips - the bagels are missing something, the texture isn't as fluffy and thick. The cream cheese isn't as flavorful and they are pretty stingy when it comes to how much cream cheese is on the bagel. For a $5+ bagel with cream cheese I expect more. Overall this is an OK bagel place. I do believe it can be better and I am hopeful when I come back things will only continue to progress on being 5 stars.

The sooner you get here.. the better! Big Apple Bagels does the dang thang well. My husband and I…read morestopped in to grab a few bagel breakfast sandwiches to go on a weekend AM. Even though it was 730am the place was fairly busy. This seems to be similar to the Naperville location where customers grab n go vs sit down and hang out. This location is more spacious compared to Naperville though and they do have a good amount of indoor seating. I tried the morning sunrise breakfast bagel sandwich which comes with scrambled eggs. I added cheddar cheese and veggie cream cheese. The portion is generous and priced well. They are not stingy when it comes to giving ingredients. My only 'con' is I thought the bagel was kind of plain. I asked for sourdough and may have gotten a plain bagel by mistake, no worries though. Everything else made up for it. I really enjoy the texture and flavor of the cream cheeses here and their bagels are exactly how I like them. Thick enough and fluffy.

This was (almost) comical. We had wanted to try a different coffee shop this morning but discovered…read morethey weren't open yet and we were hungry so we decided to stop in before making a trip to Target. We have been here before a few years ago and the food was pretty good so we were not expecting this experience. We ordered two paninis, two coffees and my husband got an order of pancakes in addition. We ordered it to eat there. They gave us a table number and we sat down. We proceeded to watch three people very confused about how to make a coffee for at least 10-15 min. They are reading handbooks and walking around confused. I then watch them trying to figure out how to make my cold brew in a giant pitcher with tap water from a sink in the back. I watch them measuring out cloudy tap water and reading instructions on how to make it. Meanwhile they are also confused on how to make my husbands caramel macchiato. At one point one of them is smelling the coffee cup. This was all a little concerning but ok whatever. Then we get our food. It was not great but again, whatever. My cold brew was warm and murky and had just a few ice cubes floating in it. My husband was afraid to even try his coffee as when he received it I found this thick black hair in the other half of my panini. My husband mentions this to the woman who brought his coffee and she was nice and took it away and asked if we wanted something else. We were very grossed out and asked can they just refund the pancakes because they still weren't ready and we were just ready to leave. She was nice and said ok but then nobody had any idea how to give a refund. She had to call someone to refund us. We then left and I'm reading the receipt and she didn't refund us she had refunded someone else who had the same table number. I had to call back and tell her she didn't refund the right person or entree. She asked if we could come back but I really didn't want to waste any more time in there. She was very nice and apologetic and called me back and had refunded our entire order even though we just asked for the pancakes to be refunded as they hadn't come out. We will not come back though. This was pretty gross. It takes a lot for me to say something to the staff and not just suffer in silence. This was pretty bad. They really need to train their staff. Making coffee that's on their regular menu should be pretty second nature. Not having hair in the food is also a reasonable expectation. Gross.

It was a good reason to get Culvers today! So, no problem ordering with the coupon which is a good sign. The restaurant appeared clean as did the bathroom. Our table had some crumbs and moisture on it so apparently it had been occupied before. It took awhile to get our order brought to the table. But the chicken was hot, just made! Worth the wait.

I typically get the wreck or Italian, however, being pregnant I'm on the cautious side and have gotten all veggie sandwiches instead. It's actually really good!

Bathrooms were clean and there is a trash can by the door, so you can open the door and throw the paper towel away. They give you a small pitcher of water to refill yourself. I had ordered coffee and they gave you a small coffee kettle to refill yourself too. Which was nice, since weekends are usually really busy and you don't need to find someone to refill your drinks. The have creamer on the table, but they do offer almond milk for 75 cents. Had the West coast crepes, since I wanted something light. The crepes had a hint of sweetness and the hollandaise came in a small cup, so you can pour on top yourself. The avocados and ingredients were fresh. Had a side of hashbrowns and it was crispy on the outside and soft inside. You did have the option to choose a different side if you didn't want the hashbrown. You get your check from the waiter and go pay up front.
