Holy Bagels CO.

UPDATED: This was my first time visiting, and I was really excited to try it out. I ordered a ham and egg sandwich on a toasted sesame bagel. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized they gave me the wrong bagel, which was really frustrating—especially since there wasn’t a phone number to call and let them know. However, the owners reached out afterward, refunded my order, and even offered my next one for free, which I really appreciated. As for the food itself—the bagel sandwich was absolutely delicious and reminded me of the ones you’d get in New York. The outside was perfectly crispy, the inside chewy, and the balance between the egg, ham, and bagel was just right.

I’m a huge bagel fan, so I couldn’t resist checking out this new spot in Lincoln Park – and let me tell you, it’s a gem! It’s a cozy little place, but it gets surprisingly busy, and I can see why. The wait is definitely worth it! 🤤 I ordered the 2 eggs and cheese breakfast sandwich with avocado on a plain bagel, and my friend tried the Lox sandwich on a jalapeño bagel with avocado. Both were incredible – packed with flavor and super filling! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back soon!

Delicious new bagel shop in Lincoln Park! Leslie was great. They also have gluten free bagels!!

Really delicious bagels! Friendly staff! To my understanding, this place has the same owners as the previous establishment here so they still sell cookies in smaller batches. I’m very excited to have a good bagel spot so close.

$7.50 for a bagel and cream cheese is criminal, but one that has loose runny cream cheese and a stale bagel is repulsive. I hope this place closes soon and we can maybe get a real bagel spot

The bacon, egg, and cheese bagel is one of the best bagels I’ve had! However, I tried a bagel with cream cheese and was not a fan of how runny the cream cheese was (almost had a yogurt-like consistency). I probably will not order the cream cheese again, but definitely would order the bacon, egg and cheese bagel again!

My favorite is the lox cream cheese on egg bagel, it's the perfect breakfast with an American coffee or latte, I love it

Was just eating a good bagel sandwich and reminisced at how bad this one was. 2 bagel sandwiches, 1 regular bagel, 2 coffees - 60 bucks I’d come here 2-3 times a week if it was good. But everything we had was unfortunately terrible.

Very exciting that LP has a new bagel spot!! This is a super small location that has turned over quite often, so hoping that the bagel place can stick it out! I came here a week after opening and the line was down the sidewalk both Saturday and Sunday mornings, so get there early before they sell out. My friends and I ordered online on Uber eats for pick up. With a big group of us, I was impressed that they got all of our orders reasonably on time. A few notes on the food: - I really liked the egg and cheese on a sesame bagel! I usually judge bagel places by how their eggs are prepared and it seemed very fresh, and the cheese was melted well. I would definitely get this again. - my friends who got the lox sandwich didn't love it. It didn't have enough cream cheese and the proportions were a little off. I definitely want to come back and try more! Love that they have a gluten free bagel on the menu, too.

Super excited about this newest edition to the neighborhood! The hype is high! The inside is very small, so the line was out the door when I went, but moved at a decent pace. I think I was in line/waiting for around 35 min. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on sesame and it was really good! The bagel itself was awesome and there was a lot of gooey cheese and crispy bacon. I wish it came with a bit of cream cheese on it, but I'll just have to ask next time. All in all, a solid new bagel shop with fun flavors and offerings. Excited to try more!

Bacon egg and cheese bagel was good! Two outdoor picnic tables for eating. Good for a quick bite.

Taking the place of Brun Cookies, Holy Bagels Co. is new to the street. They also sell coffee and what look reminiscent of the Brun Cookies. We tried the Sesame Seeds Bagel and it wasn't bad for $3. Definitely check it out if you're in the mood for a bagel.

This place is horrible. Below average bagels, below average service. I have now ordered from here 3 times and they have yet to get my order correct. Every time there is something wrong whether it's forgetting the drink, putting the wrong cream cheese, or not toasting the bagel when asked to. I will not be giving them another chance and recommend you find a different place if you are in the mood for a bagel.

I saw a lot of hype for this place when they first opened so I wanted to stop in. Overall I thought it was just okay. I just got an everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was really dough-y which isn't necessarily my cup of tea. I thought the cream cheese to bagel ratio was perfect though. I'm not sure I would come back but it's nice to know there's a bagel option around the area.

Holy Bagel opened this week and I was super excited to try it! The space is very small with the line out the door. There is a few chairs but no space to eat inside. The line moved very slow it was about a 40 minute wait over all. They have many cream cheese options which I was intrigued by. I tried the sweet mini pepper cream cheese on a sesame bagel. The cream cheese was super flavorful and I definitely will have it again. Because its so new I do think they were rushing and they cut my bagel very weird but it wasnt the biggest of deals. I will say it is a little expensive for what it is but it was tasty!

Such an exciting add to the neighborhood! Holy Bagels is a must visit due to their large menu and friendly staff. We ordered two egg sandwiches and they were delicious -- I recommend the jalapeño bagel! The bagels came out quickly and hit the spot. The omelette on the bagel was really fresh and not greasy which I liked. I will be frequenting this spot for sure!

Very good bagels. I can't wait to try the bagel breakfast sandwiches. The staff is so nice and welcoming.

I was very excited to have a bagel place nearby. My first visit was just so-so - bagel was ok, service was terrible - but I gave them the benefit of the doubt because they had just opened. Went back for a second time recently and it was even worse than the first time. I ordered two bagels warmed up and a side of cream cheese. Pretty basic order. After waiting 15 minutes and seeing multiple people come and go, I asked about my order. The person working the front asked me what I ordered, then looked through a series of bags piled up, finally found it, and shoved it across the counter to me. No apology for the wait, nothing. They seem to be very disorganized and pay more attention to online orders than people who go IRL. The bagels were ok. For the price and service, I would go elsewhere.

The service here is bad for even for the low standards of a place run by teenagers. The bagel is fine...assuming you ever actually get it. Don't assume the wait times are accurate because it seems they pick and choose which orders to do with no rhyme or reason. Go to Chicago Bagel Authority, HERO Coffee, or literally McDonald's if you want something. Colectivo is right down the street and offers food that is arguably better. Avoid this place like the plague.

Hey! This used to be Brun Cookies, remember that! I had one of the menu items. They only have a couple of seats. The staff and service are holy.

Was giving this place a second chance after not a great first time and they messed up my order again. Forgot to add butter and hot honey, plus I ordered and sat there for almost 20 minutes waiting for my order and watched multiple people come and out. finally asked and they had it sitting behind the counter and never called my name, so i was left with a cold and not correct order.

I went in this morning and ordered an egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel which was about $10. I then asked if it included any cream cheese and requested to add scallion cream cheese on it - making the total about $15. Let me know why I came home to an everything bagel with cream cheese but no egg and cheese. It feels absurd to have paid $15 for that! They have no way of contacting them, so it is what it is, but just be aware that you may need to clarify exactly what you want and check your order before leaving. Also, they messed up the guys order before me and gave him a refund in front of me. Should have been my sign to double check...

This place is unbelievably chaotic. They're taking on more orders than they can handle and the quality of bagels is not good to justify the price. I placed an online order and had to wait an hour and a half for it to be ready. I got to the store when it said it was ready and it took an additional 30 minutes to prepare. Everyone at the store was frustrated and their orders were late. I will truly never order from here again. There are so many better bagel places nearby this is a complete miss.

Waited 30 mins to get my order. Standard bagel options but very limited specialty sandwiches. Good for a classic cream cheese bagel or BEC, but not much other variety. I got an everything with Chipotle cream cheese and bacon, added my own avocado at home because of how expensive every topping was to add. It was just fine- if you want a bagel and don't wanna go all the way to Gotham or somewhere else that's pretty good, Holy Bagels can be an option. Don't see myself going here again other than to get the actual bagel and then make the sandwich myself at home. They gave us free cookies for the wait which was nice. FYI they also stop taking orders at 2 even though they're open til 3.

This place was definitely worth the hype, I live nearby and have been waiting to go and finally got a chance today and it is SO GOOD. So happy to have this in the neighborhood. Service was super friendly and apologetic/quick once they realized my friends order had been switched around and got it to her quickly. It's a bit a of wait in a smaller space but it's because they're giving you real food, not pre-prepared eggs in the shape of a circle or frozen like Dunkin etc. but you can't knock them for the size constraint that's just the size of the shop - just be patient. Their coffee was also really good, I asked the brand and she couldn't find the bag but it is good to know that it's a local brand. Highly recommend, come on a weekday if you can to avoid waits/lines. :)
