Steingold’s Bagels & Nosh

I regularly stop by this Steingolds, and it is always such a great experience! The staff is super friendly, especially Dakota, and the service is on point. The place is always really clean, which I always appreciate. Big shoutout to the manager, Jagr—he was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. You can tell he really cares about the customers and the whole vibe of the shop. If you’re looking for delicious bagels and awesome service, this is the spot to check out! I highly recommend the lox on an everything bagel, but my boyfriend takes Jagr’s recommendations and has always loved them!

Our favorite bagel is the “OMG” it was soooo good. Coffee is always strong! Located right across from wrigley

Bagel is pretty good, and as a native New Yorker I’m pretty picky with my bagels. One of the better bagels I’ve had in Chicago. Love the atmosphere / vibe too. Classic Jewish deli style. Prices are insane thought. $18 for a bagel with CC and lox + $5 for a small coffee. And they tack on $1.50 if you get it to stay. Got an egg sandwich, and for that price was disappointed that it was a premade patty like you get at McDonald’s and not a freshly made egg. Nice for the novelty, but high prices and inconsistency make it impractical to go to with any regularity.

Great addition to wrigleyville! They have a wider beer and coffee selection. They have the classics from the southport location and some new goodies as well! Highly recommend stopping by.

The food at Steingold's Bagels & Nosh always delivers. From their sandwiches to a simple bagel with cream cheese, their food always tastes great. I feel their bagels are of particularly good value compared to the rest of the menu. The service, while friendly and constant, can be a little chaotic at times. While every order of mine was accurate, there have been times where I have had to wait longer than estimated. For example, a text was sent to me that said my order would be ready at 3:40 but wasn't ready for more than 10 minutes after. Also, there isn't a great place to stand when waiting for an order, or they need to do a better job a designating where to line up and where to wait. The atmosphere is nice. Again, sometimes difficult to squeeze past people waiting for their order. But, the restaurant is clean, the tables are comfortable, and it is so nice when they have the windows open.

I ordered 3 toasted bagels for takeout. After about a 15 minute wait, I received my bag and walked two blocks home. When I opened the bag I had three cold bagels (not toasted) and one of the bagels was the wrong kind. Because I ordered takeout, I checked the printed order on the bag before I left the store and it was correct. The contents of the bag however were not. I guess it’s back to Great American Bagel on Belmont from now on.

The food here is undeniably incredible— However, the service leaves much to be desired. I understand that this restaurant operates seven days a week with limited hours, closing at 3 p.m. daily. Yet, on two separate occasions, I arrived at 2:50 p.m., well within the posted operating hours, only to find the door locked and the staff refusing entry. This was particularly frustrating as I could see other customers inside being served. On other visits near closing time, the experience was marred by the attitude of the guy collecting orders. He seemed visibly unhappy to be there, making the process feel rushed and unwelcoming. While the food alone makes this place worth a visit, the inconsistent and unfriendly service detracts from the overall experience. It’s disappointing, especially when the potential for this spot to be a favorite is so high.

We love grabbing an egg sandwich with an Everything bagel and a Connect Roasters (so smooth) iced coffee before heading into Wrigley Field across the street for a Cubs game. When they were out of our favorite, the staff working recommended an AMAZING substitute that had garlic, onion and mustard. Absolutely delicious bagels. And before a Yankees series, the place was packed so you know they are legit! We only wish they were open later than 3pm!
