Lots of downfalls upon my visit here…read more Most importantly, stale bagels. I ordered two breakfast bagels (egg, cheese, sausage), a plain bagel with cream cheese, and a lox bagel and two mini plain bagels for my kids. Not one person enjoyed their bagel. It was extra chewy, dry, and absolutely tasteless. The lox was forgettable. The cream cheese was good, but that was it. Add on a very long wait time for a line that wasn't very long and less than friendly service and that leads to this low review. The only perk was the parking lot and arriving early on a Wednesday left ample parking. Will definitely try out another option next time we want bagels.

Long line but it's definitely worth the wait. Bacon egg and cheese is a classic and a must try!read more

Amazing bagels & selection…read more The seasonal fruit & prosciutto was amazing, also tried the veggie with lox added. Our waitress was also really helpful in suggesting bagel & cream cheese pairings.

I had to get food, (particularly chicken soup) for a sick friend of mine who was stuck in a hotel…read morein Chicago and it was very hard to find a place that had chicken soup who would deliver it to the hotel. (I am in Las Vegas ) Unfortunately the delivery service the Deli usually uses quits before 2:30 and so I couldn't get it delivered. I called the Deli to ask if they had a different service and the owner said, he would take it there himself to my sick friend THAT KIND OF ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT IS WHAT WE NEED MORE OF! Small businesses give a damn and I love that this owner was kind enough to go all the way over to the Warwick Allerton to personally deliver her chicken soup and tuna, which by the way she said was absolutely fabulous!! When given an option I will pick a small business over corporate America any day... And this owner just gave me another good reason why. Kudos to a business owner with pride and concern.

Love this bagel shop. The bagel and cream cheese was delicious. I had a cinnamon sugar bagel with…read moreplain cream cheese. They give more than enough cream cheese. The service was great.

I went to Gotham Bagels with very high expectations. We went in on a Sunday morning, and there was…read morea short line to order. 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.

Groovy and upbeat place! Chicago style hip environment. The number of options is immense. My order…read morecame out fast and accurate! The goat killer was the bagel I tried, and it was delicious! Thank you Bagel Authority!

The sandwiches are HUGE - not just garden variety big, but HUGE - and they are fabulous. I haven't tried the soups yet, but plan to on my next couple visits.

(i did eat the salmon but thinnest cut ever as you can see from photo) my mocha with dark chocolate was tasty tho! i might try again one last time with another bagel just to say that i actually tried with gotham bagels but won't be getting the lox bagel. service was fast and nice once i came to pick up!

When I called to ask about it they were pretty nasty. Would not recommend as there are better bagels in the city that are up front with their prices and don't sneakily charge you extra because it's the weekend.

Great breakfast bagel sandwiches and coffee!…read more I got The Bagler Sandwich and a mocha latte with their house made mocha. The bagel sandwich was just the right amount to satisfy my craving and wasn't too heavy or over the top. Their latte was creamy and just what I needed. It has a lot of space and I even saw people working from home from there and I wished I'd brought my laptop to get some work done as well. Service was quick and the staff was friendly.

This spot is truly so hit or miss- the first couple of times we ordered from here it was fantastic…read morebut then in more recent visits they haven't lived up to expectations. If you place an order for pick up, it could be ready 30 minutes early or 15 minutes late - hard to time pick up. So you like a warm breakfast sandwich? You might get it! Or you'll have an un-toasted, soggy bagel. The hashyb is good when the bagel is toasted and the bacon cooked, but now the ratio of times this happens is on the unfavorable side. The lox bagel also doesn't come on a toasted bagel meaning it ends up very wet and unsavory, I ended up eating the contents of the bagel without the bagel as it was falling apart. The coffee tasted burnt. Again, when they are on it - it's great! I wish they were more consistent, I will not be returning to pay $$ for a bagel that might be decent.
