This is a place that I would want to come to often if I lived in Chicago. When I walked in, I immediately felt the chill energy of CBA, the upbeat music and the wonderful workers that made me feel good. It was 20ish minutes until close so they were out of two of the bagels I wanted for my sandwich but that is to be expected with cinnamon raisin and blueberry bagels. I'm disappointed I didn't take a picture, but I got... View all feedback.
What Jake L doesn't like about Chicago Bagel Authority:
Bagels are half the size of what you think a regular bagel should be, but have the price tag of a full sized bagel. Not sure why they seem to think steaming their bagels instead of toasting is the way to go they come out like a soggy roll of toilet paper. The cream cheese shmears are nonexistent don 't get a cream cheese bagel unless you want to waste money. Very slow service, you often have to go behind the counter... View all feedback.
The steamed bagel sandwich was very good. it turned everything down to really soft and chew. my preference is to have a little crisp/snap on my bagel. but the part was decent size and taste on breakfast sando was on-point (würde really hard to screw up eggs and speck . only part for me is to find his difficult parking (I went to thurs in the midday period, very dense population (good for the rest, but if not in walking in this LP district). the prices are fair compared to my other Bagel favorites.
This restaurant is pretty good. I bought food here for the first time and probably not the last. the service is fast and friendly. I didn't really spend a long time loading; I just ordered my food, got it and left. I ordered a bagel sandwich for take-out as I had no time to consider the things I had to do on this particular day, and I was really glad that their service was fast and I could get food in just a few minutes. when it comes to eating, I simply randomly choose from their large menu selection. I was hoping it would be really good. her takeout bagel sandwiches are covered with foil, and when I opened my bagel sandwich, it was kind of a chaos. it has a good part, and everything on the bagel is done right. However, the cheese spread on the foil, so I really had to hold it right and take a bite without getting the cheese over my mouth. Even with that, the Bagel sandwich was really good, and it's not really bad because I like it definitiw.
Always fresh and so tasty! The options are many so everyone in your group can find a great sandwich. People who work here are always friendly and helpful. Love these steamed bagels!
Got the Woody, so good! Tons of options, all looked great. The steamed bagel was noticeably different but tasted so good! Definitely recommend checking this place out!
They definitely had a good amount of vegan options. The bagels are pretty good, but the vegan cream cheese they have is quite meh. The vegan sandwich was decent, but nothing special.
