Breakfast sandwiches here are the bomb. Really amazing to have a real NYC bagel in Chicago, but the one star off is the pricing. In NYC you can get this same sandwich for $5. At Gotham, your bill can skyrocket for a basic alteration to a sandwich--for example a $15 breakfast sandwich only comes with ONE egg on it--you have to pay $4 for an additional egg. They even charge for condiments (catsup and mayo are $.75 each) Again, a darn good bagel, but goodness, I created my own sandwich and somehow it ended up being $25. Yikes. read more

I went to get bagels today! I couldn't believe the guy got a couple of bagels with his bare hands!!! It seems to be the norm there. I told him I did not want any bagel anymore after he touched them.... Simply he asked " why my hands are clean".... Gross. If they do that in front of customers, I can only imagine behind the scenes STAY AWAY!! read more

Gotham Bagels was both incredibly convenient and absolutely delicious. Not only was it just steps from our hotel, but they also offered two vegan cream cheese options, regular and scallion, which was such a treat to find. Our bagels were toasted to perfection every time, and the coffee was always piping hot. We ended up coming back each morning to start our day because the bagels were so satisfying and filling. My husband also tried their maple cinnamon cream cheese and said it was absolutely out of this world and well worth the upcharge, so definitely give it a try if you're not vegan. For the vegans out there, the scallion cream cheese is where it's at! If you have the chance, definitely stop by. Their bagels rival some of the best I've had, and I'm still dreaming about them! The prices are also very reasonable, around $4 for a bagel with schmear, which felt like a great value for the quality. read more

The bagels were a 10/10. So good and fresh. The place is small and gets packed, but you're in and out within minutes. I would love to try the coffee next time. read more

Tried this spot in a whim - so happy we ordered ahead because they were busy on a Sunday morning! Food was ready in 10 min, as predicted on the website. We went to the location on Superior (I think). Really delicious bagels with generous fillings and pretty hefty in size, too. I thought the egg bagel was really cool. Pricey, but I would return because everything tasted fresh and, as I said, portions and quality were there. read more

Good breakfast sandwich! Shares location with Eduardo's Enoteca. Gotham bagels offer a takeout option which allows patrons to order via a QR code. You can either eat it inside or take to go. The sandwich options are pretty plentiful for breakfast options. I had the OMFG and was thoroughly satisfied. It wasn't that long of a wait Al's. Maybe 5-7 mins for the sandwich on a Friday afternoon around lunch time. Will highly recommend and be back! read more

Really enjoyed this bagel joint after a long walk on the lake. I ordered the Brighton Beach on an egg bagel and an iced matcha with oat milk and lavender. Really enjoyed the bagel and how packed it was! The matcha was very tasty, but I could barely taste the lavender. My friend did order a sweet cream cold brew and it was mostly milk and not much cold brew, so minus a star for that. Nice outside patio to sit for a lovely day! read more

The people are nice and the ambience is good. The problem is that it's a complete ripoff. A turkey sandwich has only two pieces of turkey with one piece of cheese, but they charge over $16 for it. All of the sandwiches average $20 with tax. Nice location but not worth the outrageous prices. read more

Picked this up for a late breakfast this week, SO GOOD! We ordered ahead and it was ready and waiting when I arrived. The sandwich was very filling and could have easily fed two. Incredibly flavorful, salmon was amazing, not fishy or chewy. Will definitely be back. Parking was a little difficult as I don't think they have a parking lot, but worth the struggle. read more

The price for a sausage egg and cheese bagel plus tax and forced tip was $17.30. Yes you read that correctly. I used to go to the location in Madison, WI when I was in college there instead of going to Einsteins. It's been 10 years but there is no way in heck that the cost of this should be near that. I ordered a spicy sausage, soft fried egg and cheese on an everything bagel and that was it. As you can see the bagel was huge and the fixings were all skimpy. 1 extra thin slice of cheddar, 1 small egg and a mini sausage patty is what they consider reasonable portions. Then to top it off, when I was paying it automatically added a tip even though I was taking it to go. Tips on to go orders are insane. The worst thing was that the gentleman in front of me ordered a chocolate milk for his daughter and the service was great and cheery. Once the cashier with the blond hair and glasses heard us talking about Trump and all the great things that have been happening politely, the cashier became upset and clearly changed his service quality. Gave the food the to gentleman with an attitude and did the same for me. Put your emotions to the side bud. We pay $15 for a bagel and not attitude. Never going back to Gotham Bagel and sticking with NYC Bagel Deli on Dearborn and Illinois. Best fresh bagels in Chicago hands down. When you tip there willingly, the whole crew says thank you and even the guys in the kitchen! read more

Gotham is a go to bagel spot for me when I'm in Chicago! They have a great variety of bagel sandwiches and it always hits the spot. They gave me a pickle and side of hot sauce in my to go bag.

Neighborhood gem. Great spot to drop in for a tasty bagel sammy and hot coffee. Got the Brighton Beach today and if you like salmon, its really great and fresh.

Also, my wife is hot. read more

Gotham Bagels - Brighton Beach on Sesame Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was in town and Gotham has been on my bagel list for quite some time. I almost missed it walking by because the sign said a different restaurant. The inside was a bit snug, and since it was Sunday morning it was pretty busy. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel with a vanilla matcha latte and vanilla. The bagel itself was flavorful, and I'm very particular about how the bacon is cooked. The bacon was really crispy (how I like it!) and the cheese was nice and gooey. I had to ask them for more vanilla flavoring in my matcha but that's just a personal preference. I probably wouldn't order a matcha from here again but will definitely rely on gotham bagels to satisfy my bagel addiction next time I'm in town! read more

First: the bagels. The bagel itself is pretty good. I enjoyed the bagels with cream cheese, toasted. We got one breakfast sandwich which was not good, the filling was was bland and just very average, lowering the quality of the bagel. Lastly, I ordered an iced matcha latte and was served a cup of milk with a yellow-greenish hue.... Perhaps the worst matcha I've ever had in my entire life. DO NOT order from the cafe! I don't know how they proudly served me this drink. I would come back for the bagel and cream cheese but nothing else read more

I Wouldn't have even known it was there, but the nearby place we were headed for was closed, and the cold weather drove us to the first available spot. Fine bagels and proficient service. Lox: tasty and fresh! People have been talking up Gotham Bagels to me for a while. Are they good? Absolutely. Are they the best? Only perhaps if you've never been to New York Bagel and Bialy up on Touhy. This is a nice, but tiny location, and it was very cozy on a weekday morning. A good place for coffee, bagels, and catching up with a friend. Not too busy. Quiet enough to do some work too. read more

Gotham Bagels inside Eduardos Restaurant is a hidden gem. It is a regular stop for us when we go to Chicago, which is about once a month. If we stay a week, I'm there at least 2 to 3 times a week ordering their asiago cheese, toasted bagel, sliced with plain cream cheese on the side. It is absolutely the best Asiago cheese bagel I've had. Rivals any New York deli. The coffee is excellent as well, in my opinion. If you like Starbucks coffee, you may not like this coffee. Personally Starbucks is too strong and bitter for me. The atmosphere is very welcoming, urban and the music they play is kind of jazzy and eclectic. They have indoor and outdoor seating. In the evening, Eduardo's take over I will review that later. read more

We were staying at the Claridge House a few doors down and our lobby was packed with folks looking for breakfast and coffee. I took a walk as I figured there HAD to be another spot that wasn't as crowded and saw the Gotham Bagels sign in the window of the Eduardo's Restaurant. I remember the chain from other cities I'd visited and knew I could order online. Sure, enough, within 10 minutes I had an awesome breakfast bagel sandwich as well as a half dozen of those plump, crunchy/yet chewy beauties, and a "schmear" in my hands going back to our hotel room. It was fast, easy, and delicious! Thanks again, Gotham for saving my morning! read more

The omfg bagel got me omfg-ing. Once you walk in, you'd probably think you are in the wrong spot. Looks like a bar but just walking down, and you will see the order counter. It's very dimly lit but I found out that this place turns into a bar at night. So cool. Staff were great and super friendly. My order came out less than 10 minutes. I ordered the OMFG bagel on an everything bagel with extra scallion spread. It was loaded and definitely messy to eat. The fried egg exploded on me so be careful. The bagel was perfectly toasted; soft yet crispy texture. I enjoyed my bagel so much! I ate half of it there and saved the other half for the airport. They have a nice spacious outdoor seating in front. The OMFG bagel was the popular item and I can see why. It had fried chicken, cheese, fried egg, bacon bagel with sriracha aioli. I added the scallion cream cheese and it was a game changer!! It was totally worth it. IMO I think it's better than some bagel places here in San Jose, CA. I highly recommend! read more

[Gotham Bagels] Many locations, this one was the Gold Coast location. The biggest bagel sandwiches I've ever had. I could not even finish mine. The only downside is the price point. Overall, nothing else to say since it was just an order and take out type of deal. The taste was good.

really solid lox and cream cheese bagel, would expect a quality bagel experience from here

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Eh. We got a OMFG bagel on egg and it was good, but not enough sauce and the chicken was huge. Like too big for the bagel we got which is saying something because these bagels are huge. A little confusing to find with the banner that is posted on Dearborn but it is directly next to the USA Vein Clinic on S Plymouth court and Ida B Wells drive. Walk in or order online, cannot eat inside as it's a walk up only window. read more

My beautiful and genius fiancé found this bagel place while in town. On a Friday morning we journeyed the streets and into Gotham Bagels. It was a great move. The bagels are extremely chewy.

The is my 2nd time ordering food, that I paid for, only to show up and find they're 'out'. My ordered was placed at 10:45am for a pick up at 1:15pm. Instead of fulfilling my order when it came in , at 10:45, they didn't even start it! Of course when I pick up at 1:30 there's nothing left. But, when I ordered, the types of bagels I wanted were available. When an order comes in FULFILL IT! Simple as that. You've lost a customer. read more

Super delicious bagels. We had a honey oat bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a brighten beach sandwich. Don't get me wrong the sweet bagel was great but the brighten beach bagel was to die for!

There is a little area outside you can sit at too that's cute read more

NGL I couldn't find this spot right away. It wasn't immediately clear that it's inside another restaurant. But I stopped in here to take a bagel sandwich to go. I was able to park in a 15 minute standing zone across the street while I ran in. I was in and out within 15 minutes. For myself I ordered the spicy sausage on asiago and I got the Brighton beach on asiago for my husband. The total was about $35 for both. The sausage sandwich was okay. It was a little dry, and the bagel was chewy so it was hard to eat. However, I did get a fried egg over hard because I planned to eat it in the car. It probably would've been better with an over easy egg. The Brighton bagel was much better. Even though we ate it a few hours later, it was fresh and flavorful. My husband says he likes New York Bagel and Bialy better. Personally I don't eat bagels that often so I can't tell. I'd get the Brighton or another bagel next time. read more

Decided to try a local place than a chain bagel shop. The reviews on Yelp were a hit or miss. I can see why people claimed it's over priced, I agree for the portions and quality. The bagel was dry even with fillings inside and the over easy egg was underwhelming. Every bagel ordered did come with a third of a picked wrapped in foil like a condiment. I would suggest to look at the menu and have an idea of what you want because the ordering process is fast and can be overwhelming when you read their in store menu. I was one of their early bird customers on a Saturday morning so the food was fast. read more

I attempted to get a bagel here this morning. Walked the mile which was a nice walk to get there. You order while outside at a window. I asked the lady if this is where you order and she directed me to their online menu and informed me to order there and pick up at window. I went online and even though the board outside says they have cinnamon and raisin online it was not available. Ok got a sesame but could not for the life of me find how to add cream cheese. I went on to order coffee and they did not have half and half only oat milk. At this point I had enough gave up and went elsewhere. It should not be that hard to order a bagel with cream cheese and a coffee. read more
