Boiled then baked bagels with crunchy crust and chewy inside
"BroBagel in Wicker Park is from the owners of nearby New Haven-style pizza spot, Piece Brewery and Pizzeria. These New York-style bagels are boiled then baked for an especially crackly crust with a springy interior. They’re hefty and thick, and so is the cream cheese that’s slathered on (which will probably end up as much on your hands as in your mouth). The bagel sandwiches are pretty solid, and there’s even a vegan option with scrambled spiced tofu, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and spinach." - veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"After months of limited days and hours, Bro Bagel in Wicker Park is back open Tuesday through Sunday from 6:30am-12:30pm. Now you can pick up their bagels and cream cheese on your morning commute - and if you don’t have one, you can create a commute that involves going to Bro Bagel before heading back to your laptop at home." - adrian kane
"This Piece Pizza spinoff brings back recipes and flavors from the old Jacobs Bros chain. Try the Sriracha cream cheese, too. Order to-go online." - Naomi Waxman
"While the name BroBagel may conjure up visions of a fraternity churning out baked goods as part of a fundraising event, don’t be fooled. This carryout operation in Wicker Park is from the owners of nearby pizza spot, Piece Brewery and Pizzeria, and they clearly know dough. At BroBagel, the delicious New York-style bagels are boiled then baked for an especially crackly crust with a springy interior. They’re hefty and thick, and so is the cream cheese that’s slathered on. The bagel sandwiches are pretty solid, and there’s even a vegan option with scrambled spiced tofu, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and spinach." - Veda Kilaru
"BroBagel, the neighboring spinoff of Piece Pizza, reopens Saturday with a limited menu of bagels sold by the half-dozen plus cream cheese spreads and lox in a grab-and-go format via walkup window." - Naomi Waxman
