    Spicy Sausage, Egg & Cheese on an Everything bagel
    Stephanie B.

    I was really looking forward to trying Gotham Bagels, but my experience was just okay. The Bagel itself was disappointing and a little too tough to bite through.The Sausage in the sandwich was excellent. It was really tasty and had a great spicy kick. There was a bit of a crowd when I arrived, but the staff kept it moving pretty quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. Overall, the flavorful sausage saved the sandwich, but the bagel texture needs improvement.

    Bacon Egg & Cheese on Asiago and Lox Spread on Everything
    Miranda L.

    Gotham Bagels has a couple of locations around the downtown Chicago area. My husband and I happened to stop in for a hardy breakfast before exploring Michigan Avenue. The inside connects to the Gino's East next door but had enough seating for about 15ish people. The staff takes orders quickly and turns over food within 5-10 minutes. I ordered the Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich on an Asiago Bagel. The egg was definitely the most prominent flavor. I wished the bacon was a little more evenly laid out and a bit more included. The sandwich itself was a bit more greasy than I was expecting as well but portion was huge! My husband got the Everything bagel with lox spread and thoroughly enjoyed his. This was a nice bagel stop and while it doesn't rank in my top choices, it was still great to enjoy!

    Great NY style bagel! The line was pretty long but they had a kiosk to order from as well, and the wait wasn't too bad, but because it's a very small little storefront, it felt a bit crowded. Extra seating upstairs too. I goofed up and thought I was getting an egg sandwich, but all their ingredients are written out, and so if it doesn't say egg, it doesn't come with an egg hahaha. Despite no egg, the sandwich was incredible! The bagel had a great bounce and chew to it, and was very fresh. All the ingredients inside were so fresh and clearly high quality. I would 100% come back, though I think because of how busy it was, it might be better to order in advance and just pick up. Staff was kind and it was fairly clean inside.

    Stopped by here for a quick breakfast while near the Magnificent Mile and it was solid. The cashier was friendly and made the experience easy from the start. I ordered the traditional tuna fish on an everything bagel, and they were definitely generous with the tuna, the portion was great and the flavor really hit the spot. The bagel itself was good, though I do wish it had a bit more of that everything seasoning to really bring it together. It also came with a spicy pickle spear, which was a delicious bonus. Everything came out quickly, which was perfect since I was on the go. Overall, a tasty and convenient breakfast stop!

    The restaurant is very small and filled with wall to wall people. The bagels were honestly some of the best I've ever tasted from a bagel spot before. The raisin was full with golden raisins but they were not sweet which loved . The honey wheat everything bagel was a nice spin on the everything bagel. The Asiago cheese one was ( perfect ) . The service was very quick for the amount of people that were waiting . My only gripe is this location is small but convenient to the mag mile . Definitely check it out when in the CHI.

    A pretty damn good bagel if I do say so. Not the cheapest in town but actually large enough and really fresh enough to make it work the roughly 17 bucks I paid for a breakfast bagel. Fresh out of the oven bagel and quality ingredients on the sammy made it worth the price. It was quickly prepared too. Even the bagel and a smear i tried on another day was fresh with a huge smear and worth the 6 bucks. Sorry I have no pics of my sammy to post it really was so good i ate it all before I had a chance to take a pic. Try them out they're worth it.

    Best bagel I've had since I've been in New York. And everything bagel with vegan scallion cream cheese.
    Maralyn O.

    What a lovely spot! Stopped in after a doctors appointment since it is so close to all the medical facilities in Streeterville. Was amazed at the vegan choices and I had an everything bagel with vegan scallion cream cheese that was delicious. The staff was delightful. One commented about my dress and another was dancing around to the music and everyone was smiling and happy. How wonderful after you just had a brutal doctor appointment to experience this.

    Sausage egg Cheddar
    Lan N.

    I got the sausage, egg, and cheddar bagel. Got plain bagel with it. The sausage is a thick patty. It's sooo good! Well seasoned and got that little kick of spice to it. Bagel has a really nice chew. It came with a pickle. Very sour and a little salty for me. But I def would go back to get other bagel options!

    OMFG Bagel sandwich on an Everything Bagel.
    Ken R.

    This was exactly what I was looking for, for breakfast. I had an OMFG bagel sandwich, and got a couple bagels to go, which were about the size of my head. Everything was tasty, and the price was pretty decent for downtown Chicago. I would definitely go back there again. It's a quaint little shop with a lot of takeout orders and a few tables to enjoy a dine-in experience.

    Spicy sausage
    Sagarika G.

    Gotham Bagels is such a gem right off the Mag Mile. It's a cute, cozy shop with just enough indoor seating and a super quick in-and-out setup--perfect for busy mornings in the city. They've got a huge lineup of bagel sandwiches, tons of bagel and cream cheese options, and a full range of drinks. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, even when the weekday morning rush hits hard! I ordered the spicy sausage, fried egg, and cheddar on a toasted Asiago bagel with a smear of veggie cream cheese and... WOW. The bagel was perfectly done--crispy and well-toasted on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. The sausage, egg, and cheese combo was phenomenal, and they didn't overdo the cream cheese, which I really appreciated. The size is massive for the price too--total NY-style bagel vibes! Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving a legit bagel in the city. Highly recommend!

    Bacon, egg, and cheese bagel
    Angelina I.

    Big bagel sandwiches. I got the bacon egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel with veggie cream cheese affected. These are very filling and well made, but could've used a bit more cream cheese in my opinion. It was very busy on a Friday morning. They have limited seating, friendly staff, and no public bathroom.

    Stopped by for a breakfast bagel. Picked up a coffee and pastrami & egg bagel. You can choose your bagel (I got egg everything) and doneness of the fried egg. There was a bit of a line at 8a on a Thursday but orders were taken fairly quickly and sandwiches came out fast. The pastrami was nice and salty, though the bagel was also a bit salty too. It paired nicely with the hard fried egg though so I felt satisfied. The pickle closed it well.

    Brighton Beach on egg everything bagel
    Aaron A.

    While Chicago isn't known for its bagels, you can find the exception to the rule at Gotham Bagels. I ordered two Brighton Beach sandwiches. One on a standard everything bagel and one on an egg everything bagel. Both were great, but the egg was by far my favorite. It had enough textural integrity to hold the ingredients, but still soft enough to not ruin your mouth! The quality and freshness of the ingredients provided the perfect breakfast! If you're looking for a good bagel, make sure to stop by Gotham Bagels.

Cafecito would be at home in a pre-revolutionary Cuban building, when Art Deco architecture permeated much of Havana and the other major cities in Cuba. Plenty of outdoor seating, but I chose to eat in the cafe area due to time constraints. I had the Vaca Frita which I haven't had in over 60 years and wow, it was amazing. It came with the proverbial white rice, black beans with plenty of condiment, and maduros. Oh yummy. My Cuban grandma would have been pleased... The waiter was indeed, a Cuban American who had come over during the early Cuban diaspora. We chatted a bunch about the old country and had a pleasant conversation about being from the same province in the island. Great reminiscing, great food, great service. Yum.

The first thing I noticed walking in was the ambiance. Nice decor with a city hotspot feel. We had a teen and tween with us and both found something on the menu. Most of us ordered bowls with sesame sauce which were delicious. We each ordered different meats with our bowls and no complaints. My son had a crispy chicken sandwich which he devoured and my daughter had a quesadilla which they prepared especially for her without any sauce. Everything was tasty. We had a problem with our order when my daughter found a small piece of plastic wrapper in her food. We told our waiter and he immediately informed management. The manager came over and offered a new plate but my daughter was fine having the current plate. So instead, she comped her meal and gave her a choice of dessert with a gigantic milk. Despite the minor glitch, this place deserves 5 stars for the way they handled this issue. We feel they went above and beyond to remedy the situation. If only all restaurant management were like this. If we are ever in Chicago again, we will be back.
