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.

The $5.99 Benchmark for Bagel Integrity Who would have…read morethought you could still find this kind of integrity for $5.99? In a world where most spots are jacking up prices while lowering quality, this place is sticking to the New York gold standard. The line is a total marathon. You're going to wait, and it's going to be a while--but that's the tax you pay for food that actually has a soul. Don't let the deli line distract you. It's white noise. Stay focused on the bagels, the bialys, and the accoutrements. The breakfast sandwich is, hands down, the best in town. Period. It's simple, inexpensive, and lacks any of that "cheap filler" logic you see at other breakfast joints. It's just a masterclass in doing the basics with real care. If you have the patience to survive the wait, you won't find a better return on your investment.

We stopped by New York Bagel & Bialy pretty late in the evening on a Saturday night. There was a…read morelittle bit of a line, but I took that as a good sign. We ordered a dozen mixed, cream cheese and lox spread and headed home. Service was fast and the employee helping us was really sweet. The smell in the building was lovely. Ahhhh..... Every single thing we ate was spectacular. Absolutely wonderful. We went to a funeral in Skokie last month, I thought we were stopping to get some goods on the way home. My husband forgot his promise... I am still holding a grudge.

Good deli. Sandwiches are seriously huge and stuffed with meat…read more I got the lox bagel sandwich. I wish the tomato and cucumber were sliced thinner for an easier bite. Because they're kind of thick, it makes for a sandwich where all the filling slides right out. I guess I wish the bagel had a little more give to it as well instead of being on the stiffer side. But obviously it's still very tasty. The potato pancakes are not quite the style I like. These are thick and dense--like the size of a burger. I think I prefer when they're thinner and soft on the inside but crispy outside.

The challah rolls here might be the best I've ever had. So soft and delicious. I think it's worth…read moremaking a trek out here just for this. I'm I accidentally got the soft salami instead of the hard salami. It was more like bologna. The rainbow star cookies were amazing. Not too sweet and just like the ones I remember getting as a kid in New York. They also have discounted bagels at the end of the weekend. I recommend grabbing a bag to take home and the slicing them and putting them in the freezer. There is plenty of free parking and they do have a few tables in the front if you want to dine there.

Bagels, Sandwiches, Breakfast, and more! Original Bagel & Bialy is in The Grove strip mall off…read moreMcHenry Rd & Lake Cook Rd. The inside is rather large with tons of seating for guests. The main counter had two registers in the center with bagel options on one side and deli options on the other. They had fresh selections in the cases, to-go fridges filled with cream cheese/soup, and to-go shelves of prepackaged bagels and bread. My husband and I visited to enjoy fresh bagels. I was thoroughly impressed by the bagel flavors and saw ones I hadn't seen before (french onion, rye, pretzel, etc). I got the Rye bagel with chive cream cheese. I really enjoyed the flavor profile and would highly recommend it! My husband got the All Season bagel with Lox Spread. Everything was high quality for ingredients, fresh, and delicious. Also, the prices here were very reasonable. If the bagels were this good, I can only imagine how good their other items are!

I've been to this bakery several times. The selection is great, the service is outstanding, and…read moreeach product looks scrumptious. However, the past few times I've ordered from there, the products have been somewhat underwhelming. Got two kolaczki's and both were very dry. Also got a slice of German chocolate cake and it was dry, too sweet, and tasted old. The doughnuts are generally very good as well as the coffee cakes. But the pastries do not taste as good as they look behind the counter. I admit, I did arrive about 20 minutes before closing, but that should not affect the taste that much.

Small-local- not a chain- go support!!! For the pros: Great…read moreservice overall. The Black Forest cake was delicious and beautiful and they did an excellent job. Donuts, apple fritters, and eclairs were very tasty. The custards were yummy. Cons: Place was dead, not one customer to be found on a Saturday morning at 7:30am. Stop going to the chain coffee joints and try a small place that needs us. I preordered a little leas than $100 worth of cakes, pies, and pastries so I grabbed some of the cookies to make it $100. The butter cookies are $33 a lb. Ouch! As soon as you take a bite they fall apart and crumble everywhere. The kids didn't like the taste and didn't eat any of them, a waste of $12. No prices anywhere other than the boxed goods or coffee signs. 4% fee for using a credit card which I get, but have it posted better. Couple small signs I caught over by the fresh stuff saying price tags reflect cash price, but yet didn't see prices anywhere other than on shelves by boxed stuff. Have prices posted. French silk pie was very thick and not very chocolaty. No one really cared for it, def would not get again. I looked back at receipt after I left and see a random charge for "open retail" for $3.12, no clue what that is. So was over charged for something I didn't get.

I don't know why I don't come here enough! I stopped by for a snack because I was starving and…read morestill wanted breakfast food! First off the lady behind the counter greets you as soon as you walk through the door and it just makes you feel so special... she took all my lil money!! Yes customer service is top tier here! She talked me into getting the special which was like 15 bagels when I just came in for one!!! But I got the jalapeño and cheese bagel with vegetable cream cheese!! The BOMB!!! With a latte!! Delicious! Totally recommend this place! Once I finish these 10 more bagels in my freezer I will be back!!

The asiago flavor was pretty strong and started to mess with me a bit after, but overall it was tasty.
