Perhaps the best place in the Midwest to get a bagel, these are bagels as they were meant to be. Jews and people in the know from all over the Northern Suburbs as well as the city come to this storefront bakery to get an authentic bagel. Bruegger s and Einstein s may be opening on every street corner, but this is the shop for true bagel connoisseurs. Open 24 hours daily.

Stores are of the standard, national chain variety.
