"The Bagelers Coffeehouse makes their own kettle-boiled bagels. They have a light crust that gives way to a soft, doughy interior, and come in classic varieties, plus flavors like pretzel or chocolate chip. They’re the perfect vessel for one of their housemade cream cheeses, like garlic chive or giardiniera. There are also a few options for bagel sandwiches—we like The Butcher: an Italian meat triple-threat of salami, mortadella, and hot coppa with muenster, lettuce, onion, tomato, and garlic mayo. This Lincoln Park spot is great for grabbing breakfast or lunch to go, or for dining in while getting some work done." - veda kilaru, john ringor
