I'm not a bagel expert but I would say pretty good bagels based on what I have had (not a lot of bagels) and $25 for a dozen is a great deal if you are taking them for a bigger group. They are open early in the morning and staff is very helpful. read more

Corey's NYC Bagel Deli - Bagels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been shopping here for years. However, the other day I ordered a half dozen bagels with two sides of cream cheese. The bill came to $33.00. They now charge $17.00 for two small containers of cream cheese. Outrageous. Major gouging. May buy bagels but no more cream cheese. It's a rip off. read more

I was walking by and saw Corey's and decided to stop in. I love me a Lox Bagel and this was by far one of the best ones i've had in a while. The bagels tasted fresh and delicious and the salmons was perfectly smoked. The gentleman at the counter recommended chive cream cheese so we went with that and it did not disappoint. i'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Corey's NYC Bagel Deli - Nova Lox Sandwich on poppyseed bagel - Bagels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I placed an online order for two breakfast sandwiches and a plain bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. The staff was great and my order was ready on time. The online pickup area was a little confusing at first. It's hidden behind the counter to your right. I ordered two bacon egg and cheese sandwiches on everything, one toasted and one not toasted. The bagel itself was really good. The bacon was crispy and it had a good amount of cheese. Overall a pretty good sandwich. I wouldn't put this place on top of my list for bagels but can definitely see myself returning. read more

GREAT sandwiches! The bagels. They were GREAT the first day we got them, chewy and tasty. Really delicious sandos as well, loved those. However, the DAY after, they were hard as a rock and impossible to cut. By a couple of days, they were cement. I'll go back here, definitely, I just won't get so many bagels this time! read more

Corey's NYC Bagels is the real MVP -- hands down! From the second I walked in, everyone was super cool and friendly, like they actually want you to be there (wild concept, right?). I ordered a lox bagel with chive cream cheese, red onion, tomato, and lettuce, and let me tell you... this might be the best lox bagel I've ever had. I'm not even kidding -- I've tried plenty of lox bagels around town, and most of them taste like they were made by someone who actively hates joy. But Corey's? They understood the assignment. The bagel was perfectly fresh and chewy, the toppings were on point, and the whole thing was a beautiful mess I never wanted to end. And as if that wasn't enough, I also tried their New York coffee cake... and wow. I'm not saying I'd sell my soul for it, but I'm also not not saying that. It was buttery, moist, and had the perfect crumble -- the kind of cake that ruins all other cakes for you. If you're out here settling for mediocre lox bagels or sad, dry coffee cake, stop. Just stop. Go to Corey's NYC Bagels instead. They get it. You won't leave disappointed -- I'm already planning my next trip! read more

I love me a good bagel sandwich! Everything about this place was inviting - from the store front to the kind staff. I wouldn't say this is the best bagel place in town but it was pretty delicious to eat. I ordered the nova lox sandwich with all the works. You get a choice of coleslaw, potato salad, or pasta salad (which I chose) and it comes with a huge pickle! The sandwich was very well put together and packed with ingredients. The bagel itself was kind of hard but it was manageable! Definitely messy but thats the fun part. read more

This was my first time trying this place, and my experience was good. Great customer service, fast service, and clean. They have a nice selection of sandwiches you can choose from along with vegan options. I tried "The Benny", it's roast beef, with Giardiniera peppers, onions, cheese and a special sauce on toasted wheat bread. The sandwich tasted great, something like an Italian beef, but fancier in my opinion. I will be back to try other items, so I recommend others to check this place out. read more

I'm not a bread or sandwich person but I was hankering for one and was in the area. While the process are higher and the sides are like mini cups, the actual sandwich itself was awesome. I got the roast beef and it was probably one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had. The horseradish was sharp and paired so well with the giardiniera - this flabor combo is not for the light hearted. Be ready for a zingy zesty and satisfying sandwich! read more

I love a good Nova Lox bagel and Corey's hit the spot! I was running errands around the neighborhood and decided to grab food here while passing by. I appreciated their parking spaces out front. Corey's shares a section of a lot with Olive Mediterranean Grill and Wild Fork. It was convenient to stop in-and-out with a car. Starbucks is also on the same lot so it was can pretty crowded being right off North Ave, but I was able to pull in and was out in 10 minutes. I ordered the Nova Lox Bagel Sandwich on a Garlic Bagel and Chive Cream Cheese. This sandwiches was about $15 at the time of writing and came with a delicious pickle and choice of side. I chose the pasta salad, but you also have the options of chips among others. I chose all the fixings so it had cucumbers, tomatoes, capers, and red onion. It was a hearty sandwich, one I had to smoosh a little bit and approach from the side with my first bite because everything stacked up so tall. I also picked up a small tub of lox cream cheese to take home, because I already had everything bagels at home, and could not wait to try their lox cream cheese. I saw that they also had jumbo black and white cookies at their to-go counter, which I'm sure a local New Yorker or anyone who's spent time there would appreciate! Overall, I enjoyed my sandwich. Corey's was the perfect place for a pit stop to grab lunch on the go! read more

I like to go to Corey's when I am craving a nice bagel with cream cheese. Their products are fresh and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend trying the pretzels, they are delicious! There is not space to sit and eat so be ready to just do pick up. There is plenty of parking. read more

This used to be my go to bagel spot but I've noticed the quality go down and today's visit was really bad. My order was simple, four bagels with cream cheese. Dude seemed pissed I didn't order sandwiches. It took my order at least 15 minutes which is not a problem except those that ordered after me got their orders quick even more complicated sandwich orders. Once at home we see that they over toasted the bagels so they are black and burnt. There are better bagels with better service. read more

The garlic and herb bagel goes crazy. I aways get the salmon lox sandwich and it never disappoints. I love how they season the bagel on both sides, it really makes it 10 times tastier. Fantastic quality, quick service, and the staff is very sweet and kind to me everytime I stop in. It's a small shop, but they have the tastiest bagel sandwiches in Chicago. 11/10 would recommend. read more

This was my first time trying Corey's and I enjoyed it. It's a cool atmosphere inside and everyone looks like they are working very hard. There was also a lot of people waiting inside which I took as a good sign (maybe they were moving slow, not sure). We maybe waited only 5 minutes for our food after ordering. This place is pretty much To-Go only. There's a window bench you could stand at eat at but no sit down eating. I'm not too much of an expert on NYC bagels, but I got the garlic & herb with roast beef and I definitely enjoyed it. I found the bagel to have exactly the flavor that I was hoping for and found it to be a great texture as well. All the bagel sandwiches are about $15 which I thought was a little pricey, but it's not something so tend to get on a regular basis. I would definitely try Corey's again. read more

If you want a bagel that tastes like three day old, stale bread, this is your place. Bad product. Frozen bagels from supermarket are better. Also, asked them to toast the bagel and it was barely warm and Def not toasty. It was cold and day+ old. read more

Corey's NYC Bagel Deli - This was supposed to be scooped out. I showed the guy at counter and he said it was. Just bad. - Bagels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great service! Tasty bagels and lots of sandwich options. Ordered a Turkey sandwich on an everything bagel. Super good. Came nicely packaged (could have been more eco friendly, but I get it). However, they do toast their bagels. If you are like me and dont like toasted bagels, please let them know. I'll be doing that next time! Love the decor and the ambiance of the place. Will absolutely be coming back! read more

This place is a rip off. Everything added costs a crazy amount extra. They even charge for a smear of butter... $1.10!! I'd asked for it after ordering the egg and cheese bagel, so he said it costs extra but he'll put it on for free this time. "But next time..." I like a good bagel, but this place isn't worth this kind of money, and I'm seriously turned off by their practice of nickel and diming. read more

You know the feeling when you're super hyped to get something you've been 'hankering for?' I rarely treat myself to a bagel - maybe, 4-5 times a year. And today was the day. I decided to order from Corey's based off of 4+ star reviews on google and Uber eats(I should have checked Yelp). Needless to say this place was a disappointment. With NYC in the name, I would have expected more. I get it, we don't live in New York - so I'm not comparing this to bagels in NYC. Legit this was a terrible bagel. You know the bagels you get from grocery stores, like when Mariano's or jewel makes their own? Hard, dense and flavorless? This would be below grocery grade. Recommendation: There's better places in the city to order from; Chicago Bagel Authority, Gotham Bagels, etc. Or in a pinch go to jewel - either way you'll get a better product. Bagel went in trash read more

I just went to this location for the first time and the quality of the food is consistent! I am in love with their house made flavored cream cheese-which cost a little less than $5.00 for a tub. My all time favorite is the Veggie Cream Cheese which contains whipped cream cheese with fresh vegetable mixed in...they off it in a "Lite"=low calorie version as well a "Regular" Veggie Cream Cheese! Stellar! FYI-Masks are required. read more

Orders the nova lox bagel. Came with a pickle and a small side dish. It cost the same if you don't get the small side dish. It wasn't worth the $16 I paid for it. The service was exceptional, great friendly morning crowd. However this is a place that's only grab and go, so if you're expecting a place to sit down this is not it. Down to the lox. It didn't have as much flavor as expected. The bagel was dry and not any better than a jewel or aldi bagel you can get at a grocery store. The vegetables however were fresh and pickled. This kind of sandwich didn't make sense to include a giant half pickle but I guess they all come with them? I wouldn't go back again for their Nova lox but I would give their warm/hot sandwiches a try in the future. These bagels are 1/5 but the inside of the sandwich is a 3/5 and the service is 5/5 so I will round and give them a 3/5. read more

Amazing kettle boil bagels, how they should be made! They do not cheap out on the toppings, you get a ton of items on your bagel sandwich. You can get a regular bagel with butter & or cream cheese, or choose from some of their amazing breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches. Everyone there is so happy and inviting, the service is great and speedy & such a lovely vibe in the store. You need to try The Lox bagel, it's phenomenal. read more

As a yelp elite, it is hard when you find the best of the best. It makes it challenging to continue trying new restaurants in that category. Thanks to Corey's I cannot try any other bagel companies because this is as good as it gets... You have to try their sun dried tomato cream cheese, it's very subtle and adds a nice flavor to the anything bagel. It's always full in here, and there is limited seating but man is it worth it. The workers are very friendly and it seems like a family when you enter. It seriously makes me crave a new york trip just to see how close it is to the real deal. you MUST check this place out if you're in chicago! read more

If you're looking for a quick, easy and DELISH bagel... look no further. Corey's NYC Bagel went through a name change I believe, but their menu and quality are the same as before. My roommate always gets the bagel with plain cream cheese and lox, while I'm more of a bacon egg & cheese girl myself :). Last time I came in I was dangerously close to ordering the bagel chips they make... the cinnamon raisin was calling my name(!!). May have to go back and grab some more STRICTLY for research purposes. The staff that work here honestly make this such a great place. They are always in such a friendly and hilarious mood... you can tell they genuinely enjoy working together. Overall... definitely recommend coming in for a bite and a bfast sandwich! read more

Just no! As a newly arrived resident of Chicago, I was eager to find a go-to bagel place and relied on the good reviews. We ordered the egg salad and lox sandwiches, both on everything bagels. We also ordered a half dozen of various bagels. While the lox and egg salad were serviceable, the bagels themselves were honestly among the worst I've had - they arrived via Doordash hard as a rock and lacked much flavor. As you can also see from the pic, the "everything" bagels were somewhat lacking in topping- maybe they should rename it the "halfway there" bagel. read more

Let's set the scene. It's midnight and my partner all of the sudden says she's craving a lox and cream cheese bagel. She then goes down a Yelp rabbit hole for about 30 minutes telling me about all the different places she wants to try. She then says, "it would be amazing if I could get one tomorrow..." Maybe it's because I'm the best partner ever or maybe it's because I didn't want to listen to her long talks about lox tonight again... but I ordered her the Nova lox bagel this morning through Uber Eats. She got her bagel with chive cream cheese and the potato salad as her side. I can't personally vouch for the bagel but the potato salad and pickle that came with it were bomb. If those minor sides are any indication, I think their bagels must be great. My partner was raving about how it hit the spot and had been exactly what she was craving. read more

Been coming here for the past 11 years and I have never had a bad experience. The food is so good and so fresh!

This is a solid deli. I've ordered both the lox bagel & a ruben sandwich on UberEats and both are very good. A word of caution & this goes without saying: I would be reluctant ordering more "wet" sandwiches such as the ruben as it doesn't travel well in terms of delivery...the toasted bread has been quite soggy upon arrival Overall, a great Sunday delivery breakfast if you're too lazy to get up from your bed read more

I had an order delivered and the reason they are getting three stars isn't because they messed up my order (which they did) but was the quality of my sandwich. I got the nova lox sandwich which I do at every bagel shop. The bagel was garlic herb and it tasted like a plain bagel. The lox was flavorless and wet- more than normal. The cream cheese was chive light which tasted like nothing. I have had a lot better lox sandwiches in the city and this isn't one of them. I ordered a 1/2 dozen bagels and they only gave me 1 of the bagels I selected. And they forgot my tub of cream cheese I ordered. I don't think this is the best bagel in Chicago and I won't be going back- better options available. read more

Please see my picture of what they're calling an everything bagel. I'm still traumatized and it was taken weeks ago. I know you can't get a good bagel in Chicago, but at least the others don't claim to be New York bagels. I would have appropriately lowered my expectations if it was called Corey's Chicago Bagel. And I still would have been disappointed. read more

Corey's NYC Bagel Deli - Sad excuse for an everything - Bagels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is one of very few bagel spots in the Chicago area that feels like an authentic East Coast bagel shop. There's not a lot of room inside, but staff are very friendly and extremely efficient. Orders are ready fast. As they say in New York, Bada bing, bada boom! It looks like the crew has fun working here, which is great to see, especially on a Saturday. In fact, every time a customer leaves a tip the crew shouts out Gentlemen! It's very endearing. And of course the bagels are delicious (generous portions of cream cheese!) read more

I love a New York City bagel. If you haven't had one, please do so immediately, but a New York City bagel in Chicago? Let me see about this... Super hungry (per usual) while walking around Chicago and I came upon this place. Totally small. Nestled in the corner of a strip mall. Probably not a place I'd stop in but only because I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't walked by. The inside is small; a few high top tables, a counter and a wall of bagels. That is pretty much it. The menu is on the wall and serves your typical bagel shop fare: smears, chicken salad sandwiches and more. Wanting breakfast I got a sausage egg and cheese (cheddar) on a toasted sesame. They offered me a combo since I got an orange juice- $7 (not bad). Within a few moments my sandwich was ready. Amazing. The outside shell tasted just like a New York bagel. You know it was a little tough, but still chewy. Delicious. I devoured my sandwich and sort of wanted another but of course I didn't. The guys who worked here were great. Chatting with all the customers. Busting each other's chops while they worked. I can see they enjoyed working there and it completely showed. If I lived here, I'd be there way too much. Definitely regretting not taking a few bagels home with me for later. Next time I'm here I'm getting the chicken salad- it looked amazing. read more

Such friendly staff! They made sure to ask what we wanted on our bagel and what we wanted as a side rather than just giving us whatever. The pickle you get as a side is huge! I've never seen such a big pickle! The bagels themselves are delicious and buttery. My friend got the Lox bagel and it was one of best lox bagels she has ever had. I got the nyc Turkey bagel sandwich which also very good, I wish I added more Mayo or sauce. They also had so many different options of bagels. Can't wait to go back and try another sandwich and don't forget to ring the bell on your way out. read more

Hands down best bagels in Chicago! Taste just like you're in New York this has become a Saturday morning tradition for us. It's not uncommon for there to be a line out the door, so once we figured out our favorites we started calling a head so we could pick up. We love to get the bagel sandwiches, but an old fashioned bagel with cream cheese does the trick too. If you go close to closing, they hand out free bags of bagels they would've otherwise had to toss. For transparency, I gotta admit their coffee is literally one of the worst I've ever had in my life - tastes like dirty, burnt dishwater but I love the food so much I just don't buy the coffee lol. Lastly, I recommend walking if you can because their parking lot is a zoo because it's shared. read more
