I went to Gotham New York Bagels and Eat in Chicago and honestly, I loved it. The bagels were super fresh, packed with a ton of filling, and had the perfect texture. I ordered the salmon bagel with onion and capers and it was incredible, really delicious. We also tried the cinnamon bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese and it was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. They also had some sliced and toasted bagels that were really good too. Every bagel came with a pickle on the side, which was a nice touch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself was amazing. There were plenty of tables to sit, a cozy bar area where you can eat or have a coffee, and the overall vibe was super friendly and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a huge space, but it feels really inviting and there's enough room to stay for a while, you could even bring your laptop and get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the summer, they also have outdoor seating, which makes it even nicer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great, the staff was friendly, and the menu had a wide variety of options for everyone. The only thing is that it's a bit pricey. We ordered two filled bagels and one plain bagel with just a small side of cream cheese, and it was almost fifty dollars. If all three had been filled bagels, I would totally understand the price, but since one was plain, it did feel a bit expensive. We also got the strawberry cream cheese, which was good but not my favorite. I definitely preferred the cinnamon sugar one. Overall, I would absolutely go back because the bagels were fantastic, the space was cozy and welcoming, and it's a perfect spot to relax or grab breakfast, just a little on the expensive side. read more

Highway robbery $30 for two bagels and coffee. If you want a shitty coffee and good bagel then this is the go to.

I'm back, same chill staff and GM(skinny guy with the baseball cap). [[HIGHLIGHT]]A little dirty on the floors but I'm not complaining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cinnamon pumpernickel sugar is perfectly sweetened meaning not sweet- excellent. They do put too much cream cheese, even if I ask it to be extra light. The white fish bagel called amagansett is fine. They close at 1:30 on a Sunday. read more

Not bad! This bagel is a proper meal! I was full until dinner! My only food complaint is the spicy ketchup that came on the Rocky was a bit overwhelming. I wish I would've gotten it on the side so I could control how much I got. They also forgot my apple chai latte. The toast app didn't make it easy to file a "missing item." I can't speak to ambiance or service beyond that since we did carry out and someone else picked it up. Would give them another chance if I was in the area again. read more

I have mixed feelings. The cream cheese portion- FAB! Love. However, I paid $7 to add lox and there was only one piece. I was a little disappointed about that. I would come back for my bagel with plain cream cheese days. I don't think I would order lox on it again just because I can get a better portion at other places. The Just Peachy latte was good and had just a hint of peach with white mocha, not a mix I would've thought of and it works! I do prefer a litttle more white mocha flavor, but that's just my preference. I rated 3 stars because of the one piece of lox and it wasn't mind blowing enough to make up for that. read more

So I've driven past this place plenty of times. I finally decided to give it a try. This had to be one of the best lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel I ever had.. the bagel was great! Not to doughy right amount of crunch. The service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop was very clean and the patio area was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely continue to come here. read more

Do not sleep on this place! We we are not local and have never tried a New York bagel. We see now why people say once you try it, you can't simply eat Midwest grocery store bagels. The bagels are out of this world in flavor, texture, and more. The cream cheese was also good! Pro tip- order a bagel with cream cheese and get a second bagel "plain" and then add half the cream cheese from other onto it because there is so much!! It will be hard to resist coming back to eat here each morning for breakfast!!! read more

This location can be hit or miss. Sometimes the bagel is not toasted or they forget to add a pickle.

Great bagel place in Lakeview. We like ordering and picking up. They have some of the better bagel sandwiches we've tried in Chicago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a nice outdoor seating area![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped in today for the first time and couldn't choose between the Nashville or the turkey. Jack was amazing. Help direct me paired me up with a good bagel. Also, don't forget to grab some of their chips. They're the best I promise it. Really great customer service Jack should be recognized. read more

The price is just completely unjustifiable. If you're gonna charge $15 for a breakfast sandwich it better be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in my life. I ordered an egg bagel sandwich add cheese, the cost of adding a piece of cheese? $3!!! AND THEY FORGOT THE CHEESE! also they weren't calling out order names/ numbers while I was there, or if they were it was so quiet you couldn't hear. So I was just sitting there for 10 minutes totally oblivious that my order was done. If you're looking for a fancy bagel experience in Lakeview/Lakeview east there are a lot of better options. I would recommend Chicago Bagel Authority, they have more sandwich options at a cheaper price and better quality. read more

Good bagels and good sandwiches. I'd definitely come back. They are a little slow so if you can order in advance.

Came here to grab a breakfast and my boyfriend want to see what bagel places Chicago offer. He had New York bagel and Denver bagel. So this place I told him it's one of the best in Chicago. He got a sausage and egg on a rasain bagel and I got the lox bagel on everything bagel with lox spread. He say it's not bad. The server were very helpful and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Street parking. read more

Lots of bagel selections. The bagels are a good size. There are choices for espresso drinks and coffee. There are different cream cheese flavors and several bagels to choose from plain, poppy etc. I liked the size of the bagels and the generous amount of cream cheese. I did not know to request for the bagel to be toasted but the person at the front was very nice and made me a toasted bagel. If you are in the area I recommend stopping by this place. read more

Stopped here for a bagel and coffee while my husband was at his PT appt. Asiago bagel was huge and lox cream cheese was good- and they were overly generous with it. Bagel was delicious and I could really taste the Asiago cheese. Coffee was great as well. Food and coffee came out quickly. About $12 including tip which is a bit pricey but considering the size of the bagel and amount of cream cheese was not a rip off. I would come back. read more

A quick updated review here - the bagels are just as good, def recommend ordering ahead.

Ingredients were just as fresh, although the husband did mention that his lox bagel had one skinny sliver of salmon. read more

Went here on a Saturday around 10:30 am. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was definitely busy but we were able to sit at a nice table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was very much busy bagel shop which was to be expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was hoping for some Batman imagery but unfortunately there was none.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can only order through kiosk which was nice considering how many options there were on the types of bagel and the types of sandwiches. I ordered the egg bagel with cream cheese and added the lox in (you save two dollars doing it this way) and my boyfriend got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an egg bagel. The food was ready pretty quickly and every bagel came with a pickle (mine didn't though but I assume its because they forgot due to the rush in the morning). The bagel was soft but still firm and there was a good amount of cream cheese. The lox was well portioned and the amount of food was definitely worth the price. Highly recommend going if you're craving a bagel in Chicago. read more

These bagel sandwiches CAN be so good! They need better quality control, paying $15 in hopes of a good bagel is a gamble. I was excited for the pickle and hot sauce on the side the bacon egg and cheese usually comes with but they weren't there when we picked up. They skimped on the bacon and cheese, felt more like an egg sandwhich. It's unfortunate when their bagels the potential to be great. read more

I normally would not rave about cream cheese and bagel... My favorite strawberry cream cheese and bagel is from here!!! It's simple and good. They are very generous with the cream cheese. The savory bagels are good too with their house pickle and Snake Bite Hot Sauce hot sauce. I liked the hot sauce so much I bought a bottle to keep at home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a patio situation outside to sit outside and every time I'm there, it's always busy with people going in and out or dining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is small but there are seating inside also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff has always been nice. Highly recommend! read more

Chicago has a lot of great bagels spots, but I would put Gotham in the Top 2! Location: [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Lakeview location has a fantastic outdoor patio with several tables, trees, and some shade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't wait to go back in the Fall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also several tables inside with strong A/C.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: I got the Asiago bagel with chive cream cheese, and it was fantastic. The bagels itself was large, had abundant cheese in and on it, and you could see the fluffy layers! It had a generous amount of cream cheese on it, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Service: We got our order promptly, and they were able to keep up with the rush. read more

Gotham Bagels - Lakeview - Everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been eyeing this place for SO long and the time for me to try has finally come! I grew up on eating New york bagel & bialy in Lincolnwood and have been meaning to try other bagels joints in the city. I like that this place offers many different kinds of bagel sandwiches that I would love to try in the future. I just want to help clear something up -- you are able to order in person during the weekdays. On the weekends is when they have online ordering ONLY. I went on a Tuesday morning and I ordered like normal. I docked off a star mainly because of the pricing. I got the Brighton beach and my total came out to a whopping $18...... without any drinks or add-ons. I thought the cashier was crazy when he told me my total but I just rolled with it. I believe all their sandwiches are over $10. Brighton Beach: I was blown away after the first bite. The sandwich was soo flavorful and so so filling! I opted for the everything bagel and scallion cream cheese because that's the perfect combo with lox in my opinion. They really shoved alot of arugula into this sandwich but I didn't mind because I love arugula. If you aren't an arugula fan, just ask for light/less. The bagel itself was super fresh! read more

Love this spot! Came two weekends in a row because it is THAT GOOD. One thing to note is that you need to order online on the weekend as they don't take your order in person. It makes it easier and more convenience to pick up your food and eat there or go. I loved the Bee's Knees latte, a must try! I've ordered a variety of bagels such as their cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese, bacon, egg, cheddar on an everything bagel, the Brighton beach bagel, and they all were amazingly delicious! Prices range $16-20 for food and drink, but the quality is worth it! read more

Probably my go to place for when i need a filling hangover-curing breakfast. The bagel sandwiches are great and the bagels themselves are very good. There's a good variety of bagels (egg everything for the win) and a couple cream cheese options too. The quality of the food is high. Service is fairly quick too, even on a hectic Saturday morning, we'll order online and then walk over and it's ready in ~15 minutes. The only negative thing for me is the price. It's not cheap, a bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich will run you like $12. Throw on some lox or chicken or something extra and it'll get to $15+ really quickly. That's pricy to say the least. It just means that as good as it is, it's not a weekly occurrence. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and the best bagels in the city. The customer service is outstanding, Always friendly and welcoming.

Delicious bagels/sandwiches!! Make sure to order ahead on the weekend because they get pretty busy (for good reason!). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a ton of room to sit inside, but in the summer they have an awesome patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My go-to quick weekend bagel/coffee spot. read more

I've been seeing videos all over social media about this place & finally got to try it over the weekend. The Lakeview location's seating is limited (about 5 small tables and 3 or so tables at the front bar area) and first come, first served. We went around 12pm and didn't wait more than 2 minutes to get a table, though. You place your order online and receive a text when it's ready to pick up at the counter. The food & coffee was prepared fairly quickly and everything tasted delicious! I also ordered the tuna salad bagel to go & I recommend that choice as well! The only thing I have to say about this place is that it's clearly a bagel shop that you'd go to for more of a "treat yourself" type of day, otherwise you're looking at about $30 for 1 bagel and a coffee.. $$$ read more
