Delicious!!! Located inside of Gino's East pizza, Gotham Bagels is a hidden gem in Printer's Row. A variety of breakfast and lunch sandwich options. I really enjoyed starting my day with the spicy sausage, egg, and cheddar bagel sandwich. I was able to choose what kind of bagel I wanted, as well as how I wanted the eggs prepared (scrambled, fried, etc...). The sandwich was wrapped beautifully and securely, and comes with a pickle on the side. The iced matcha is one of the best matcha drinks I've had in Chicago! Evelyn provided excellent and friendly service. She was very patient and went over all my choices and options. You can order in person or online. On the weekend, it's online ordering only. The interior is decorated beautifully for the holidays. Check it out! read more

I get the lox here when my other go to spots are closed or busy. The bagels are great but I wish they were served warmed or toasted - it makes for a hard to chew bagel which might not be comfortable for everyone. My husband loved the sausage and doesn't mind the colder bagel! read more

This bagel place is a hole in the wall literally - it is easy to miss but it is located in the pizza place next door if that helps. When you walk in there is a very small eating space and a counter to order at. The menu is a tad bit pricey but then again I don't know prices for new york bagel joints only chain joints. I have never had a new york bagel so I do not know how this compares but I will say this I got the pizza sandwich with pepperoni on a asaigo cheese bagel - the bagel was chewy and soft and had plenty of cheese. The sauce had a good flavor and wasn't overpowering. read more

Pretty good! It was admittedly a little pricier than I thought, it was like $23 for a lox bagel and large iced latte. Still, a good breakfast imo. For those who've been walking in circles trying to find it like me, they share a building and front desk with Gino's East (521 S Dearborn). Inside you'll order and there's a teeny tiny little seating area to the left by the windows. A little hard to navigate if you're disabled or bigger bodied. A few things: - they don't take cash. - There's a little kiosk tablet you can order from (separate from the actual ordering desk) - Make sure to ask about their specials!! - I did not see any way for people with disabilities to get inside. It's simply a stairwell up. May need to call ahead and ask someone to bring it to you outside if your mobility challenged. read more

Don't blink cause you might miss this gem! A group of us decided to come here for our post Hot Chocolate Run meal and it was a great decision. Gotham Bagels is located in the South Loop. Outside of variety of bagels they have bagel sandwiches, salads, potato latke, soup and desserts. They have sides such as potato chips made by Great Lakes Kettle. You can have coffee, latte, tea and soft drinks. Like I mentioned, if you blink, you can miss this place. It is a walk up location to place your order. There are seats in front of the pizza place that is just around the corner. The staff was friendly when picking up the order. We ordered ahead for a 10:15 AM pickup. It was ready about 10 minutes after the pickup time but we were in no hurry. Highly recommend ordering ahead! I have never had a Bagel from NY so I cannot compare. I got the One Egg Bagel Sandwich. I selected the Seasame Bagel. Overall, the bagel was a nice size and it was soft and chewy and I mean a good chewy. I've had bagels that were chewy but hard where you had to rip it with your teeth. The egg was scrambled, but you can pick how you want the egg cooked. The scramble was prefect and not over done. It had the right amount of salt on it. The price I paid was approx. $16 dollars for the sandwich, bag of chips and a can Pepsi. The bagel is filling and I didn't eat the chips or drink my Pepsi. If this is what a NY Bagel tastes like, I need to travel to NY to try! But in the meantime, when craving a bagel - I'll make my way to over to Gotham Bagel! read more

My favorite local place for a bagel. I wish I were more adventurous, but I always go for the Brighton Beach, it's a must for me. If I don't do the Brighton Beach, I just go for the typical bagel and cream cheese. For the Brighton beach, the salmon is super fresh and the toppings are always loaded, fresh, and add the perfect crunch to a bagel sandwich. What I like most about Gotham is the assortment of bagels and spreads. They have great bagel flavors, as well as a great cream cheese selection. This location specifically is super quick with the online orders, it's only a walk up, so I recommend you order ahead. I've picked these up for friends and family and although I always get the same bagel sandwich, I've heard great feedback about the OMFG bagel, spicy sausage bagel, and traditional bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. Staff is always super nice and courteous. read more

I would easily consider bagels to be one of my favorite foods, and going to grab an iced latte and a fun bagel flavor is one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday morning - so when I heard that the Gotham Bagels South Loop location was open, I knew I had to check it out! Gotham Bagels has been on my list for a LONG time, and it definitely did not disappoint! We tried a couple of their specialty sandwiches along with a classic sweet bagel to round it all out! My absolute FAVORITE from the meal was the Brighton Beach - the smoked salmon was perfect, the ratio of ingredients was incredible, and the flavor of the everything bagel tied everything together! I'd highly recommend checking out the South Loop Gotham Bagels location! read more

Takeout window inside of a pizza shop. Convenient location nearby our hotel. We ordered pickup from here and it was ready within a few minutes of our arrival. We ordered a sausage egg and cheese bagel, turkey bacon, egg white, tomato, and vegan scallion cream cheese bagel, and a strawberry cream cheese bagel. This place is a little pricey, but honestly the bagels are huge and they pile on the toppings. Definitely a good value. The bagels had great texture and the vegan cc on my bagel was fantastic. Only 3 tables to eat inside at. I would definitely come back here. read more

Loved the food but it wasn't a true New York style bagel. Over all it had grate service. Good atmosphere. 9/10 would eat here again!

The bagels were good, the sandwich's were not good for the price, had to take the bacon out because it felt to be 90% fat 10% meat. THE PICKLES, don't get me started on the pickles. They have no taste they only taste sweet, where's the vinegar? Where's the flavor? THESE ARE NOT THE BEST PICKLES IN CHICAGO. read more

Should say add avocado spread not avocado because I certainly wouldn't have paid 4 bucks for some pre packaged spread. Bacon also tasted/looked nothing like picture. Bagel cold. Not great read more

Came across this hidden gem while working one day! I continuously saw people walking up to this industrial looking building and grabbing a bag! My curiosity was running rampant! lol! To the Yelp app I ran! Upon reading the reviews I knew it was time to take action! I ordered a spicy sausage,bacon,egg,and spicy aioli sauce! It was sooo good! Full of flavor! The spicy was just right!! It really could feed two people! read more

This is a new spot for us but as it was just across from the hotel so we decided to try them out one cold morning. This is a pick up only location so you order online prior to going or there in person via a QR code. It usually takes 15-20 minutes for your order depending on the time of day and items. I e had two hot venerates and 1 bagel sandwich but by the time we walked around a bit it was ready. (They text when the order is complete.) We went to the window and gave our name and got the order. I loved my spicy chai and the sandwich was huge! The bagel had a great amount of chew and was a bit pricey but considering how much was loaded on there it was worth it. I had a vegan cream cheese and veggies which almost could have been two meals, but it was so good I ate it all right then! We would for sure try this again and now that we know the process would order ahead. Very tasty and a fun spot for a bagel and beverage! read more

Visited a unique bagel shop in Chicago, where you order from one side of the building and have the seating area be on the other side. It was a bit different, never seen that before. I went for the OMFG bagel with a white chocolate mocha, and my girlfriend got a cappuccino. The food was as tasty as it looked! The bagel had great flavor, though it was a little salty--probably because I chose the everything bagel, which added a bit of extra seasoning. The hot food and drinks were perfect for warming up on a windy, cold day in the city. There was a bit of a wait, but the steady stream of customers shows the place is popular for a reason. It's a little on the pricey side, but definitely worth giving a try for the quality and experience read more

if I could give a zero I would, but I'm having a good day so I'm gonna give it a one. This was honestly one of the nastiest things I've ever put in my mouth. I got a bacon egg and cheese with scallion cream cheese that cost almost $18 absolutely insane for a bagel, but I heard good things about it and I want to try so I paid. It literally tasted like onion ass. The bagel was hard to bite into. The chunks of scallion were just massive. It was not worth almost $18 not to mention, it was also just under seasoned. The service was good though it's not worth your money at all. read more

Food is solid, but omg it took forever. My friends and I went here around 11 am on a sunday and two of our bagels came out in around 20 minutes, the other close to 35. Didn't realize we were broiling our bagels on the spot. Place is pretty though and I liked the christmas decorations read more

Holy smokes Gotham Bagels is insanely delicious! I'm a big fan of a solid bagel with cream cheese and this spot surpassed my expectations big time. This location offers pick up orders only - simply pre order your goods online and grab it at their window once ready. There is no indoor seating however if you walk a whole 30 steps you can find an outdoor patio (outside of Gino's East) that has signs that Gotham customers are welcome to eat at. I had the Brighton Beach sandwich on an egg bagel with scallion cream cheese and woah...... MIND BLOWN! It was a ridiculously delicious hefty sammie that I devoured. I'm very particular when it comes to bagels and this place has made it to my top 3 bagel spots. My fiancé got the OMFG on an everything bagel and that was equally divine. Don't forget your caffeine! My fiancé and I tried 2 lattes - the bees knees and the maple cinnamon latte. Both delicious and hit the spot. read more

Some of the best bagels in Chicago. Been going here for a few years now and they never disappoint. They are always quick and have nice folks that work there. I've had friends from New York try the bagels here and they said it's some of the closest bagels you can get in Chicago to New York ones. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid bagel place. read more

Order: Lox and scallion cream cheese on a sesame bagel OMFG on an Asiago bagel Ordering from Gotham Bagels and picking up at the counter was simple and super user friendly! My friend and I ordered from home and our bagels were ready in about 20 minutes. The morning rush was fairly busy but the line died down by the time we came in before 10AM. Between the two bagels, I enjoyed the OMFG if you are looking for a savory sandwich to munch on. I liked the spicy aioli and all the crunchy fixings. For the Lox bagel, it was a good simple, light treat. The scallion cream cheese was generous and would be good as a take home side if you want to dress your own bagels at home. Overall, great breakfast bagel place! I will definitely be going back again to try other stuff on the menu. read more

Today is foodie day and my daughter wanted to start her day with a bagel. She just has so many positive memories with NY bagels, from all her NY travels. Quality/Quantity - Online order only. Pick-up window only. Stand in the street while you wait for your food. Pumpernickel Scallion Cream Cheese - Good, especially liked the pumpernickel dough. Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese and Lox - We wanted this in pumpernickel also, but they already ran out of all bagels except the everything bagel?!?!? It still tasted good, but would have been better with the pumpernickel bagel. Atmosphere - Well, we are standing in the street, what if it was raining or snowing? Small shop, pick-up window only. Service - Good, they made a mistake on our first order and corrected it right away. I know so many businesses are going to online purchases only, but there are still many customers that struggle with technology, so it would be nice to be able to order at the pick-up window. Price - Expensive. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 1999 and with your 5 locations. read more

Quite expensive for a bagel but it was huge, fresh and delicious. It's a pick up window only, there is no place to sit Duan and eat. Keep that in mind. I placed an order online and went to pick it up, it was ready in 5 minutes. Not sure how long the wait is on weekends but this was Thursday at 9am. Got the whole wheat everything bagel with vegan scallion cream cheese and cucumber. My mom had the same bagel with lox cream cheese and cucumber. We both enjoyed our bagels a lot. They were fresh, had a nice chew and good amount of cream cheese. The vegan one was amazing with a lot of fresh scallions. One of the best vegan cream cheese I had. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Will be back for sure read more

This place is great, bagels are fresh and tasty, they are generous with the cream cheese. Only downside is that it's small space.

Very no nonsense bagel window in the south loop. Come here and they will carb you up. The place gets no points for ambiance since it's literally a back door of a restaurant in a back alley by a dumpster. However the service is quick and ordering online is easy. Grab and go online ordering. I'm a big fan of Gotham despite the steep pricing - the bagels have great chew and they use a different type of cream cheese than the usual Philadelphia. Glad I have an option in the loop. read more

A very good bagel. This place is to-go only from a single pick up window on a side street. Felt vaguely Prohibition Era, like you needed the secret handshake. You can order online or order at the window. Food was ready at the time I requested with minimal wait. Tried a sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese and lox. The bagel is decent. Not quite NYC quality but pretty close. It's a water bagel, the crust is crunchy and the inside moist, chewy and a little sweet with a nice amount of sesame seeds. Veggie cream cheese is house-made and delicious. A little bit too much on the bagel for my liking because it's sloppy to bite into. 2 slices of lox round out the sandwich. For $14, far from a good value. It was good. But not $14 good. read more

We were craving bagels this morning and found this hole in the wall spot super close to us so decided to talk a walk over! It's pick up only! Order through the window or online! If you're ordering at the location, expect about 15-20 mins while your food is cooked! We got an Asiago bagel with veggie cream cheese and a bacon, egg, and cheese on an Asiago bagel! So originally, my friend had ordered the OMFG sandwich, but they filled the wrong order and we realized this when we had already came back home. Nonetheless, the bacon egg and cheese was really good! Well balanced flavors and the consistency of the Asiago bagel was great! The veggie cream cheese was quite bland in my opinion. I would recommend getting the plain cream cheese over it for sure. Overall, it was a good experience. I would probably go back to try the OMFG sandwich since that's what we originally wanted! read more

The bagels are amazing! Really resemble NY! However!!!! The coffee is not it, it has this weird unfinished after taste.

Their bagels with cream cheese is always a safe bet (egg everything and scallion cream cheese is my favorite) but their bagel sandwiches are fantastic.
