I always try and hit a local bagel place when I am in a new town.... Jake's did not disappoint.!! Perfect service. Cool vibe. Fireplace and river views..... Oh, and the bagels were awesome! See photos. Good skin, good density, great taste. I always get my bagels double toasted with butter. Complete bonus: homemade rice crispy treats!! The prices were extremely reasonable...... like I wish they would raise their prices.... Will stop again when I am visiting the area.... read more

I got a half-dozen bagels - 2 each of poppy seed, sesame seed, and everything - just before closing on Tuesday. I ended up having one of each at room temperature with no toppings, and one of each with lots of regular - not whipped - cream cheese and lots of alfalfa sprouts. The bagels were dense and glisteny, like proper bagels. All were outstanding and, at $6.99 for the half-dozen, a great value. I'll be back, maybe make some bacon-egg-cheese and hamsteak-egg-cheese sandwiches on plain bagels. read more

First time try of Jake's Bagels & I'll be back! Walking in you can tell this is a long time staple to many, a mom & pop ambiance. There was ample seating outside as well as inside. The service was friendly with a smile, timely, & efficient. Let's get to it though...The food here was amazing. I got a bagel turkey sandwich with cheese & the cream of rice soup. You wouldn't think a sandwhich could be this good! I was sold & immediately wanted to go back. The bagels were perfectly cooked with a sold center and the perfect texture for the outside. The turkey was fresh. The soup was creamy with lots of rice and other goodness, perfectly piping hot & delish. O strongly recommend if you are out in the area stop by and give this place a try, you won't regret itThis may end up being one of your top bagels! read more

Jake's Bagels - Bakeries Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

3.5 but rounding up. Jake's Bagels is located in downtown Aurora and has plenty of parking. This locally owned business was busy the entire time I was there. A friend and I stopped in during lunch and we were very surprised to see the line was almost out the door. Staff members were very nice and helpful. The space is large and has 2 different areas for indoor seating. I'd say it can seat up to 40ish people. I tried the lox sandwich on an egg bagel and ordered a bagel with cream cheese for my husband. There were quite a number of bagels that were out of stock (ie sesame). Overall everything was OK. The bagel itself wasn't my favorite, pretty standard bagel, nothing special or mind blowing in my opinion. The contents of the lox bagel and cream cheese were delicious though. Great quality ingredients. read more

Today was my first time at Jake's bagels I did not know what to expect. The coke was kinda flat you couldn't really taste the carbonation. The chips were fresh. The creamy chicken rice was amazing fresh and hot. The bacon egg and cheese bagel was very big and worth the money. The bagel dog my dad ordered was very delicious. Besides the food, the service was exceptional. A shout out to Rebecca, She was very friendly and was very patient in taking our order. And for that reason alone we recommend Jake's bagels. read more

Bacon egg and cheese bagel: delicious, bacon is mixed into the eggs. Large egg portion Plain bagels: pretty good Service: friendly and fast Atmosphere: plenty of seating room and had a nice fire going. I didn't like the smell of the place, it was like dirty mop water. It may have been because it was raining or the location. read more

I loved the vibe at Jake's! You enter into this super cozy little deli with plenty of seating and are met with a beautiful selection of bagels. I wish I would've had time to sit and eat, but I was on my way to work. I ordered a turkey sandwich on an onion bagel and, unfortunately, it was not my fave. The portion was generous and the bagel was tasty, but the turkey was soggy and tasted stale to me. The real winner was the cookie bar I had. It was incredible. Day changing. It was so good that I still can't wait to try this place again and order something besides from turkey. read more

Bagels have been made here a long time at this Aurora favorite. It has a lot to choose from and there's spreads too along with other sides like salads. Jake's Bagels And Deli is about the freshest you can get anywhere around town. Has a dine in area so you can enjoy your bagel right away. The prices aren't bad overall. Came in recently at breakfast. It looks like this place could have been here years ago and not changed. This is an old school deli that's rare in the age of corporate behemoths with no charm whatsoever. It's $1.19 for a bagel. The spreads include cream cheese, jelly, and peanut butter among others. It's a couple bucks to add something onto a bagel. They also make sandwiches like with lox and other meats if you're into that. Also they have a lot of sides to choose from. There's bags of potato chips, but also homemade salads that are fresher than grocery store deli items. Be sure to check it out some day early. It has the best bagels when they're fresh. They also can run out of some flavors meaning getting there early is important so you can try before someone takes the last of something. read more

One of the cutest bagel places I have ever been to. Love the atmosphere and the employees!

I went early in the morning and the service was great! & the breakfast bagels delicious!

Fresh bagels and cream cheese. Homemade sandwiches that are handmade and are delicious!

I absolutely LOVED the bagel, egg, cheese, and sausage breakfast sandwich! The portion was huge; I was going to stop at half when eating, but the uneaten half was calling to me! I devoured the whole thing. I can't wait to try more options in the future. Thank you, Jake's Bagels! read more

Oh my!! If you like chewy bagels fresh out of oven run to Jake's. You will not find a more authentic tasting bagel anywhere outside of New York!I love their blueberry and my husband is a sesame fan. If you are buying to use for a sandwich the egg bagels are divine. Also not to be missed is their pineapple cream cheese spread...Amazing . If you want to eat in they offer sandwiches . The staff is attentive and quick. Thursdays they have specials on bagels and cream cheese so go early. I wiped out the blueberry on my visit!!! read more

Great bagels and great service! Just go early. They run out fast because they are sooo good!!!!

Service was friendly, I ordered the lox bagel and I didn't finish it. It didn't have much flavor unfortunately

The bagels and cream cheese are great. Traditional chewy bagels. Lots of choices. It's definitely a mom n pop place. Nothing is systematized or customer friendly. The ordering system is disjointed and payment area is confusing. One size on beverages is comical since it is a 22 ounce cup. Everything is packaged to go regardless. Lots of wasted paper and packaging. Employees run into each other trying to serve guests. They are clearly not environmentally aware and are most likely not making any profits. A good restaurant consultant could save them labor, increase employee satisfaction,costs and make the guest experience easier. read more

This place brings back all the nostalgia of going to my grandma's for lunch, having a pb&j with chips. Not only do I love their small town, grandma vibes, but their sandwiches are so good and comforting! Their chicken salad on an onion bagel with the works is my jam! read more

I've been going to Jake's Bagels since they were on Farnsworth and I was a little girl. This little gem looks like it's plucked straight out of a Hallmark movie. Complete with a brick hearth inside (which is wonderful in the winter!) In the summer you can eat outside on their deck overlooking the Fox River. The food is awesome! Their olive cream cheese is Sandwiches are delicious and the soups are so darn scrumptious! There is also a coffee bar. You can't go wrong here. So much to choose from! It's the whole package read more

Great and cheap bagels !!! I mean honestly you can't go wrong! Quick service too where the bagel flow never stops ! Every month they have a different flavor of the month which to me brings bagels into a whole different perspective ! So many flavors and the cream cheese is just so thick and creamy ! With actual chunks of whatever you get, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple or chocolate chips ! Simply delicious! Would love to try more in my future TIP: super close to the train station so make sure before you head to the train station, stop by here !

The bagels are small, and the banana one really had no discernible banana flavor. The bagels were also dense. I prefer a fluffier bagel with a good chewy crust and this wasn't it. I'm a Long Island NY native and I'm kind of picky. You may think these are just fine, but I would never take my parents there and that's my deciding factor for good bagels. I'll keep looking. The day I went the place was very busy. It was also unclear exactly who was waiting to order and who hadn't, where to wait, what the process was... When the girl came out to give me my bagels she basically shoved them at me and I didn't even really have them before she let go. It was odd. Bottom line: expensive and mediocre - I don't expect to go there again. read more

After a long bike ride on the fox valley trail along the river, we were starving and looking for a quick, fresh and ok to go to sweaty place to eat. After checking out yelp map and reviews we ended up at Jakes and I must say it was the perfect thing! The bagel sandwiches were great along with their fresh brewed tea. The patio on the river was perfect seating for us to continue our day outdoors while eating a great lunch. read more
