    Northern Omelet Sandwich
    Matthew W.

    I don't live in nearby anymore, and had almost forgotten about this place, but the family wanted bagels the other week. I'm so glad I remembered it. Service is friendly and quick. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. The prices are very fair, and the bagels are, hands down, the best in the area. They have a ton of variety of bagels and spreads. I picked up a bunch to go, and I also got a Northern Omelet sandwich that was spectacular. I will be going back again soon.

    A co-worker brought some bagels and muffins from Big Apple to work for breakfast. I tried a couple of bagels and was not impressed. Nothing stood out, so I consider these your everyday bagels if you're not looking for great bagels.

    Bagels are still good however we've been dissatisfied with the service lately. The line was out-the-door long (which is a sign the food is good). But unfortunately, also a sign that behind the counter is not running well as it could be. Perhaps more staff are needed and/or another system of ordering and receiving could be implemented to speed things up? Waiting for a bagel for 30 minutes on multiple occasions is too long for us. We will not be coming because we feel 30 minutes for a bagel is unreasonable.

    Inside the location ... really busy on a Saturday morning but line moved quick !

    First time here and I must say this place is really good ... tons of selections of all types of bagels and breakfast sandwiches, the girls behind the counter are so nice and helpful. Will be back for sure ... loved it

    Grabbed a snack while getting my windshield fixed next door...boy was their menu large and did their baked goods look incredible. After having the bagel, I would never get it again and focus on the muffins, they looked amazing! But I did go with the jalapeño bagel and jalapeño cream cheese and my take away...wayyyyyy too much cream cheese. I scraped off over half which was mind blowing and I felt bad. Wish they charged a bit less and then I didn't waste. That said it was very one note, no heat, and could have benefited from a cheddar add on the bagel or the spread. Lots of seating and a big parking lot. I do like that they sell the cream cheese by the tub but I'd try a different one in the future.

    I recently swung by and wanted to share some thoughts on my visit had a really lovely time overall…read more I was super excited to try out your special winter lattes that were featured for December, and honestly, every single one I tried was absolutely delicious. They really hit the spot. A special shout out has to go to the Tropic Blast wow, that was a truly amazing and refreshing drink. It was a delightful surprise. But the real star of the show for me was the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Waffle. Seriously, it was out of this world good. If there's any chance at all, you absolutely have to consider making that a regular item on your menu. I think it would be a huge hit. I also picked up a Ham, Egg, and Cheese Bragel without cream cheese, for me. I noticed a good number of your sandwich options seem to come with cream cheese as standard. Perhaps it would be great to highlight options without it, or even offer a wider variety of non cream cheese choices for those of us who prefer something different. On the service front, your staff was fantastic really friendly and super efficient. Just one small, friendly suggestion, I did notice the dining area and general space could use a little extra attention with cleaning. Keeping things sparkling makes the whole experience even better.

    Biggby rocks!! A friend and I came here for a coffee date early Saturday and throughout our time…read morethey had a constant flow of customers. This coffee shop is kept clean and can seat about 25 people. There is also a drive thru which makes it convenient for anyone in a rush or just wanting to grab and go. Staff members were very nice! Since it was my first time there it took me a little extra time to decide what to order. They remained patient and extremely helpful. Service was quick, my items were ready within 5 mins. I tried the dark hot chocolate with almond milk and also got a breakfast sandwich (everything bagel with egg and cheese). The hot chocolate was good - not overly sweet and at the perfect temperature where I didn't burn myself. The breakfast sandwich was also very good - it usually comes with sausage and cream cheese, however, I opted to leave those out. Everything was of great quality and I can see myself coming back in the future.

    My son took me here for my birthday this past April and what a dining experience it was!…read moreFirst off, the ambience was extremely elegant and upscale. The preparation of our entrees was beautiful and the service was excellent. I highly recommend, especially for a special occasion.

    Firstly, anyone saying the food doesn't taste good or they leave hungry is smokin crack ..... also,…read moresounds like you probably would of enjoyed a buffet instead. This place is incredible... the food is to die for. It's the first place I've been to and did not feel like bloated or so full to where I was sick because the portions were perfect. Nothing here fell short, in fact it's the first place in the burbs where the food wasn't overly salted or fried in some type of oil. Everything tasted fresh. The flavors were busting up in my mouth every bite I took, even down to snowball fight drink we had. I highly, highly recommend the bread cheese appetizer- this was something super unique to me as I've only had grilled up cheese one other time in Brazil, Queijo Coalho.... There was a beautiful twist on this cheese- crunchy, creamy, sweet, savory and the honey and tabbouleh were such a great finish to this dish. Pair this with the fresh bread and it was chefs kiss! We had the beer braised short rib and seabass- two completely different flavored entres that we absolutely perfect. The short rib you literally can't go wrong with- melted in my mouth with every bite - and hats off the the chef who cooked the onions so perfect to actually be able to taste them instead of just carmelizing or salting them! I would call this your typical Midwest comfort dish. The seabass was much different the salad was tangy with the lentils being rich- add a nice cooked crispy top seabass and you got yourself a unique dish of flavors that will have you thinking what's in it after hours! But the star of the show was dessert of course - OMFG - s'mores ice cream sunday ....... I died and went to heaven literally. I have never tasted ice cream that mimicked everything I've ever wanted my ice cream to taste like. It was the perfect temperature (trust me a lot of restaurants it's either rock hard or melted) this was epic. Creamy, almost pudding like and being able to taste every note was wild to me. The graham cracker - yes the freaking graham cracker was the best one I've ever tasted in my life. Clearly I've never had a graham cracker without preservatives before. The chocolate syrup .... Jeeze let me tell if I could swim in it I would.... The service was friendly, prompt and right on time. The server knew all the cues and timing of all the food to come out. She checked in everytime we got something to make sure everything was just right... you can tell she takes her job seriously but also knows how to interact with people - something a lot of servers lack these days so we really appreciated the service. As for the atmosphere- this place blows a lot of the chi city restaurants out of the water. The organic feel but fancy! Oh, and I can actually talk and hear myself think without blasting music over my head. We will be back ... but honestly please change nothing here- everything you're doing here is fantastic!
