Good bagels my friend picked the breakfast with egg cheese she said it was tasty. Bacon nice and crispy. I had the lox and cream cheese. It was good. Love the texture of the plain bagel.

Visited this location recently for a simple lox/cream cheese bagel to-go. Their menu looks really customizable and easy to get specifically what you want, which I will definitely try in the future! It was delicious. The bagel was soft and chewy. There wasn't a whole lot of lox and cream cheese, and the lox was surprisingly tough. I hadn't experience tough salmon at the last few bagel shops I'd had lox at. The bagel had plenty of capers however and all in all it was really yummy. The folks behind the counter gave me the wrong order when I came to pick up (apparently there were two orders with the same first name). Understandable but they may want to check a bit harder to ensure someone doesn't walk out with the wrong order. I will be back for sure!

I have ordered from here several times for work meetings and they never disappoint. They always have my order ready and on time. They recently expanded into the adjacent store. The bagels and spreads are always fresh. They have a large variety of flavors. A great local place to visit.

Great place to stop in for a quick bite to-go or to sit down for a meeting. I've been in a few times in the last couple of years - great breakfast sandwiches and priced well for what you're getting. Love that they have a gluten free bagel available. They even asked while I was ordering if it needed to be toasted in a gluten free toaster. I appreciate that level of care. I got the Santa Fe breakfast sandwich and it was fantastic. Loaded with fresh sliced avocado and thick cut bacon. Paid just over $10 - which felt like a good value for what I received. My critiques would be that I wish there were a bigger variety for the GF bagels. I would have loved an Asiago bagel! Also, the sandwich needed more cream cheese. It may have made the GF bagel feel less dense, dry, and crumbly if it had been spread on the top piece as well. I ended up taking off the top of the bagel to eat the sandwich and that was fine. They look to be expanding into the space next door. Looking forward to seeing what is to come.

Oreo bagel with Oreo cream cheese!!! :) I was excited to stop by and find some really unique bagel flavors and cream cheese flavors as well. The decor is lovely and vibrant. My bagel was ready quickly and eveything tasted fresh. I can't wait to try a bagel sandwich sometime soon!

Charming place lots of seating. There's even a small room with a couch where I think you can utilize for meetings. I ordered a to go order on a pretty busy Saturday morning and they got my order ready pretty fast. There's a cute coffee bar where you can add additional flavor like vanilla or hazelnut to your coffee. They also had the pumpkin spice available which was prefect for the fall season. I really enjoyed the lox bagel which was humongous. Definitely a hidden gem in Libertyville.

Came to this place in Libertyville to get bagels of course. It's located in a plaza with a Panera Bread, and I'm glad to have not gone there. Bagels By The Book was much better. Has a shit ton to choose from. There's both savory and sweet bagels, as well as lots of spreads and toppings for the bagel sandwiches. A good place in the morning, or whenever it happens to be open for bagels. It also has pretty okay coffee. The bagels are why people come though. It's about $2 for a bagel. Lots to choose from, including an Oreo one. Add a spread or topping on it for a few bucks. Has lots of cream cheeses. There's also hummus. Great place mostly to get bagels. It has a lot of unique flavors. There's also tons of cream cheeses and other toppings.
