About Bagel Art Cafe

Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

I mean, it's edible? Ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and lox for ~$15. The bagel was tough not very big. The latte was maybe 1/3 foam for ~$5. Honestly a let down overall.

Mids. Bagel sandwich was ok. Did not pre-toast bagels; egg-beater eggs not real. Store-bought sausage in the land of wonderful sausages. Tried to charge me $1.80 to refill a mediocre drip coffee which i declined but was inspired to leave this review by it.

The folx at Bagel Art are the kindest bunch around. Their service is fast, accurate, and accommodating. They take their time to get to know you and help you to feel a part of the environment. The space is inviting with a rustic atmosphere punctuated with local art. The bagel creations are delicious and customizable. If you are a fan of lox, the Lox N’ Key is great!

Super cute place with quick, friendly service. The bagels are not good. They're more like bagel shaped bread. I guess one of the 3 times I tried them I should've asked for the bagel to be toasted. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Maybe that would have made it better. Nice place to visit for a coffee and a bite (if you're not too picky about bagel texture and authenticity).

Bagel sandwich and iced coffee were decent, but spending ~$16 on what amounts to a light breakfast has made me realize I should probably stick to sit-down breakfast spots in the future that offer better value. I cross-checked prices with a few local competitors, and these are indeed market prices for bagel sandwiches in the Chicago area in 2025. With that said, you could easily get double the amount of food of similar quality at so many other places for this price point...
