    Finally came to eat in-store and it's just counter service... the food is so good and delicious-- especially the egg-white salad !!! Bagels are almost as good as ones from NY, definitely worth a visit

    Best bagel place in highland park! Literally have every &any type of bagel one could ever think of. Great deli meats too. Usually crowded on weekends throughout the morning but still great service.

    Egg everything bagels are hard to find but they have them!! Their curly fries and egg white salad are also amazing. Get the smiley face cookie as well.

    NY Bagels at 1.5x the price. To be fair, Pretzel Bagels are a great option you don't often get in NY.

    Be prepared for a mountain of egg if you order a breakfast sandwich. Not a bad thing, in my opinion, I just want you to be ready.
