Best Bagels In Chicago

If there is one thing that people are particular about, it is how their bagels are done. Some people like them soft all around, while others prefer a little crunchy on the outside while soft in the middle. Thankfully, somewhere as big as Chicago can provide different locations that appeal to all bagel aficionados. Here is a look at some of the best that the city has to offer.

The motto of this establishment should be "if you can put it on a bagel, we have it." With breakfast sandwiches like the Five-O Bagel (bacon and cream cheese on an onion bagel), Huevos Ranchers and The Belmont, how could you go wrong? Stop by for breakfast or lunch, and if you are feeling lucky, give The Lottery a try. If you really fall in love, they also offer catering so you can bring the joy of a great bagel to your next party or gathering.

Brobagel

Chicago, IL 60622

If you like your bagels crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside, then you might want to run on over to Brobagels. Like the name suggests, Brobagels was started by a group of brothers who wanted to bake the best bagels in Chicago. Stop in and try a bagel sandwich like tuna salad, chicken salad, lox, roasted chicken or veggie. They also have a pizza bagel that can come with or without pepperoni. Or, if none of those sound appealing, try building your own.
