The Daly Bagel

Heart of the area that serves the community its caffeine fix and round roll goodness. The site is cozy, and table spaces are limited to your plan on dining there. The bagel selection is decent enough, and there are some great cream cheese selections. The eagle sandwich offerings are standard, but pay attention to the options. Most places for the morning sandwiches are egg, cheese, and meat choice. This place it is all optional, so if you wanted egg, cheese, and bacon, make sure to say that, or you might have a sad 8 year old. Also asked for the bagel to be toasted as that seems not standard there. Coffee was good, and the selection of specialty drinks was a standard afair.

Just a huge "meh." Got our food fast even though it was busy, but the food itself was so bland and disappointing. I got the caprese bagel sandwich. Tomatoes were mushy, basil was wilted and soggy, and the bagel was a bit underbaked. The smallest bit of balsamic vinegar could be seen on one of the bagels. Bland ingredients, bland sandwich. Not fun to eat at all so I didn't finish. Disappointing 🫤

I recently stopped by The Daly Bagel in Oak Park and came away impressed. Their bagels are chewy and satisfying, with a good crisp crust and soft interior. A few things stood out: What I loved: • Great flavor and texture — they do a solid job with “New York–style” bagels. • Excellent sandwich options — the “Ultimate” (whitefish spread + extras) has been singled out by Chicago Magazines as one of the standout dishes in the area. • Warm, local feel — the shop’s story (from the owner baking at home to opening a storefront) gives it a community charm. • Coffee and spreads complement the bagels well, making it a nice spot for breakfast or a light lunch. What could be better: • Seating is limited — there are only a couple of small tables and a bench, so during busy times you might need to take your bagel to go. • Because they make things fresh and with care, some items (especially special sandwiches or spreads) might sell out early. • Sometimes the shop feels a little cramped if there are many customers inside at once. All in all, The Daly Bagel is a solid gem in Oak Park. If you love good bagels and want to support a local place with personality, it’s definitely worth a visit. Would I go back? Absolutely.

Neighborhood favorite bagel shop with great offerings. Their bagel sandwiches are inventive, and it's very nice getting your choice of bagel for the sandwich. The shop itself is small, but there are still a few good seats. Definitely a more grab and go spot for me. I very much enjoyed my sandwich - The Neighbor. The cream cheese was made with the filling from fellow business Thai Neighbor's crab Rangoon. Absolutely amazing.

It's a wonderful bagel place with fresh options everyday, with the introduction of the jalapeno spread now provides a spicy one as well. I would highly recommend the daily bagel to anyone wanting a good budget friendly place.

I used to really love the Daly bagel. But the last four times I’ve visited, it’s just off. I order the same thing each time(toasted bagel with berry basil cream cheese& iced maple latte), and it’s never the same. They either don’t toast the bagel, or the drink is WAY too sweet or has no maple at all. This time the drink was too sweet to finish, and my bagel was cut poorly, and was still 30% attached, cold and not toasted at all. I’m really disappointed and I don’t know if I’ll be returning.

I hate to rate this place so low because I love the food. I used to frequent Daily Bagel but as of late, they refuse to toast my bagel. I ask for toasted every time and they just won’t toast it. But they sure slather on the cream cheese meaning I can’t toast it myself. It happened again today. I think I’m going to have to find a new bagel place. Very disappointed. I hope the owner actually reads these reviews and does something about it.

1st time here and this place was delicious We tried six different bagels and they were are delicious. To drink we ordered 2 chai lattes, we ordered 1 hot and 1 iced but we got 2 iced 🤷‍♂️. We ordered the following bagel sandwiches. Eatza Pizza , rise and shine with bacon , the dude with roast beef, caprese sandwich, the vampire killer and everyone's favorite The obvious Smoked Salmon!

What can I say about this magical place. Yes I'm a bagel snob and this place meets me just where I need it. Bagel taste, texture, just the right amount of chewy and plump. Service is good and music hits the spot with coffee and a bagel (bacon scallion cream cheese) is everything.

I stopped here on the way home from a workout for a quick bite. That stop went from a one-off into a routine visit every Saturday. The bagels and cream cheese are very good. The space itself is very small, not ideal if you plan on dining in. Overall this is probably the best bagel you'll get in Oak Park.

We tried The Daly Bagel while visiting some friends in the area. On a Saturday morning this place was completely packed, with a line stretching out the door. The temperature inside was also approaching "oven-like" with the heat actually being worse than it was outside in the Chicagoland summer. The bagels that we ordered ended up being very good. That goes for both the bagels and the spreads. The service was a little on the slow side - it took several minutes of waiting for our food to be ready.

First trip to The Daly Bagel was delicious! I got the vampire bite on an everything bagel and it was packed with flavor. They offer a Daly commute special for a bagel with regular cream cheese and regular coffee for $5.25 till 10 am. I went on the weekend and the line was pretty long. It was delicious but just plan to have the time to wait in it!

Daly Bagel was just a one-minute walk from our Airbnb, and I'm so glad we decided to try it out! This place has a fantastic selection of bagels, from classic options to unique specialty creations. I went with "The Obvious" bagel, and it didn't disappoint. It came piled with lox, cream cheese, pickled red onions, fresh tomato, crunchy cucumbers, and a sprinkling of capers - everything you'd want in a perfect brunch bagel! We took ours to the park, and it was the ideal way to enjoy a delicious, casual brunch in the sun. Highly recommend for bagel lovers!

I come here for their breakfast sandwiches on a bagel, or their day old bagel bags and their awesome cream cheeses. The place itself is very simple, like a cafe. Not much seating. But it's all comfortable and open. The service is always stellar. But be aware that it may take them a few minutes more than you expect when they are busy. This is definitely my go-to bagel place in the area.

Outstanding flavor and bagel texture. I tried most of the flavors and the sesame is my favorite.

Really tasty bagel which is, for some reason, hard to find in the Chicagoland area. They have a big variety and lots of fun flavors of cream cheese. We ordered two lattes and they both were made incorrectly (mine was missing the flavor, my partner's was made iced instead of hot) so I bumped them down to 4 stars. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings and hopefully my drink(s) will be made correctly.

My husband is from NY and these bagels passed him and his family's bagel standards! As a dairy free individual I also highly appreciate their options. They typically have quite the wait but I would say worth it if you're looking for a truly authentic bagel - a rarity in the Midwest!

Neighborhood bagel must do. Bike parking and on street parking available. The service is a little cramped at the counter with the entrance, but looks like they have done it that way for a while so it works for them. The white petal Arnold Palmer is the best I've ever had. They have vegan bagels and cream cheese. They also have a vegan bagel hotdog. There is something for everyone, including coffee from a local shop.

Fresh bagels and a delicious white petal Arnold Palmer. Very slow with bagel making. You can watch them make the bagels.

Amazing bagels but the coffee and customer service is hit or miss. They don't seem to train employees on the espresso machine. The lattes I got recently were worst than Starbucks.

This is probably one of the best bagel shops I've found in the Chicagoland area. The staff is always super friendly and if you're here on the weekend the line will probably be out the door. Their various cream cheese options are nothing short of incredible. Especially the Pesto Cream Cheese they have had as of late. Hoping they make it a permanent member of the collection. Also be sure to grab a coffee!

This is the best bagel place in the area, there's always a line out the door and they use the top quality of ingredients. The staff here is amazing, specifically Alex he made my day with his fantastic service - I've never had someone serve me so quickly - he runs the show keeping the line moving fast. The latte he made me was just as good as the one I got while visiting France! It's definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area.

What did I get? Everything Bagel with a side of "Chicago" Cream Cheese (like a chicago hot dog in cream cheese) Price? $5.48 Review (10 Words or Less): Soft, chewy bagels for a reasonable price. Other Notes: All cream cheese is whipped. Can get a bagel + coffee for $7 if before 10 am.

The Daly Bagel is so lovely! Our coffee and bagel sandwiches came out promptly despite a decently long line. Servers were kind, efficient, and asked us all the relevant, clarifying questions. The actual dining area here is a tad on the small café side but is perfect for parties of about two, maybe three. There's also some tables placed outside near the sidewalk if weather permits. My one qualm about seating is the lack of placement for strollers. If you have a baby, perhaps opt for a travel stroller or carrier. Bagel sandwiches came out hot and delectable! I personally love a ton of cream cheese, and this place didn't disappoint. There's plenty of street parking in the area, but just be mindful of signs.

For sure this has to be the best place to get breakfast around here because it's always busy. It always has a line going out of it. The Daly Bagel is no doubt a popular place in the morning in Oak Park. Get a coffee and a bagel, and a few other things here. Lots of bagels for sure and lots of things to put on top of these. Came in the morning as usual because that's when it's open of course. It can seem like the whole town is here. This isn't a regular stop but I always make sure to come when in town. It's that good. The coffee is the other reason why people come here. It's $2 for a strong cup. The bagels are the main things though. It's about $2 for a bagel. Of course no one wants a plain bagel, so add in a couple more bucks to get a spread. Has lots of cream cheeses. Lots of herb flavored ones. Among the flavors is the Tofutti, a totally non dairy choice. The bagels are loaded with the spreads and toppings, so you get a lot. Good place to pop into in the morning except for the wait to get in. It's closed Mondays. The bagels go fast so come early to get the freshest, and top these with cream cheese options including ones for vegans.

Business was super small inside. The worker there was fixing to close so a couple of tables were being folded closed. they had done this while we were ordering our food. Giving the table over the register area. I thought it was a little rude. The food was alright. I was expecting the bagel to have more favor...the bagels were hard after being toasted. The atmosphere was extremely dirty. There was a half bagel on the floor and a bunch of crumbs everywhere. I wouldn't go back there. Recently tried the onion roll on north ave - and I have nothing bad to say about them. Give them a try.

I visited this location 2 days in a row. Yesterday, my experience was a really good one and I would have given 4 or 5 stars. I ordered the Rise and Shine sandwich with provolone cheese and chicken sausage. They had a sample of the lemon lavender bagel (and can I say yum). So this was the bagel I chose to complete my sandwich. I also ordered an additional 1/2 dozen bagels to go. Very good sandwich and experience. I'm not sure if it was due to the time that I visited; around 11am, but the service was quick and very friendly. I was in a hurry and did not have a chance to take pics. Fast forward to today...it was around 9 am and this place was very busy, but I did not mind waiting as I was still reeling from my experience from the previous day.... I ordered the same sandwich, but switch to pumpernickel bagel (I have learned today that I hate pumpernickel ) to try something new. I also ordered a dirty chai tea latte with oat milk. Can I say this was the worst drink I ever tasted... and I have taste a lot of coffee and tea drinks. I had to drive another mile to one of my favorite coffee spots to get the taste off my palate and get a dirty chai that taste the way it should! I didn't check my sandwich until I was almost back home. I did not see the cheese, so I went back to the restaurant and informed them that my sandwich was missing the cheese. The young lady at the register was friendly and apologized. She opened the sandwich and then walks over to the other young lady that was making the orders (who clearly seemed overwhelmed) to show her. Mind you that the sandwich is now opened by 2 people. The young lady with a slight attitude walks over and shows me where the supposed cheese is on the sandwich and is so melted that you cannot tell it's there. And proceed to hand it back to me...Really??? I proceed to walk it over to the trash and ask if it can be remade. They remade the order, but was not happy about it. I'm not sure if I will return. I think every experience should be a good one and not have to visit an establishment several times to like it.

I've always seen a line out of Daly Bagel and was curious what drew such a line to a tiny bagel shop...and today I finally learned why. WOW. The "obvious" bagel (lox bagel w/ red onions + capers + cream cheese + tomato + cucumbers) was a burst of flavors with each bite. I got a garlic bagel and added an egg. I would definitely order the obvious again but without the egg. The bagel is STUFFED and they're generous with the cream cheese, capers, and lox!! One thing is that the bagel doesn't come cut in half so I cut it at home. Next time, I'm going to make sure to ask for it to be cut - just makes it easier to eat! One minute the shop was empty and then the next, there were like 10 people lined up behind us. There's definitely a reason why! I will be back!!

Great bagels, friendly staff, and ever changing bagel sandwich specials. Love breakfast and lunch specials. Speciality cream cheeses are delicious.

I went to the Daley today, hadn't been there since Covid. I was surprised: for a small coffee and a bagel with cream cheese it was $8.80. I got 6 bagels and a container of cream cheese to go and that was $22.27. So for 7 bagels, cream cheese and a small coffee, it was $31.07. The young lady and gentleman at the register were very nice and helpful- could not have been better! As for the bagels- the bacon maple had really no taste and the berry basil cream cheese had no taste at all and wasn't thick like cream cheese should be--more like the consistency of whipped butter but not even that thick. It seemed more like Mayo. The shop is comfortable- nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, at these prices, Daly will have to be my fond Covid memory- back when the bagels and cream cheese were really pretty amazing.

Nowadays I pass through the area weekly for one of our cats' weekly injection appointment. "The Daly Bagel" is always busy at around 11am to 12pm on any given Saturday. We would have come here more often for bagel sandwiches and coffee if we could make the crowd disperse when we show up (jk)! I also notice that this is one of very few coffeeshops in this side of Oak Park. With that being said, I can't really blame on the business. I can tell the bagels are baked fresh daily and their sandwiches are solid. Seating is quite limited, with a number of small tables and chairs. Service is usually not particularly fast but adequate. During summer and early fall, outdoor seating is set up and allows more patrons to enjoy their food outside on the neighborhood street. However, I can't help and feel discouraged when the line is out of door. Umm...I see...getting a bagel sandwich and a cup of cold brew is such a luxury and I will never take it for granted. Speaking of the bagels, you can order a variety of bagels and buy their tubs of cream cheese to take home. Or they can make them into sandwiches. I have had the "obvious," with lox, red onion, tomatos and capers. For the beef lovers, they have "the dude," with roast beef. The toppings are customizable and be sure to tell the staff if there is anything you would like to omit. They brew dark matter coffee and you can't go wrong with it. "The Daly Bagel" can potentially earn a full-score rating if I figure out when to come in on a day without seeing anyone else, just myself, so that I can calmly sit down and quietly indulge inside. Oh well, this may not happen any time soon yet I'm very hopeful...

New York style bagels in Chicagoland...it's a win! The bagels are great. And the Chicago style cream cheese is amazing. Everything we tried was great. There are only two little tables that seat 2 and a bench for waiting inside. Outside there were 3 more small tables. The weather was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our time outside eating bagels and chatting.

My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab a bagel sandwich and the Daly was there to serve us. We arrived 20 minutes prior to closing so many of the bagels were sold out, which wasn't a problem for us. The hostess greeted us and was super helpful during our experience. I ordered the Obvious which is a nova lox bagel and my boyfriend ordered the knuckle sandwich which is a pastrami base bagel sandwich. This was the pick of the month so it may not be on the menu all the time. While we weren't able to sit in and eat we did explore the shop and noticed that do have some vegan options for those that want to explore that. I got The Obvious on a vegan everything bagel. They also sell vegan bagel dogs. In their fridge, customers can buy containers of various cream cheeses to take home ranging from goat cream cheese to rhubarb to Buffalo chicken. Definitely homemade and it's cool to experiment at home with different flavors. The nova lox was a great sandwich and not dry at all. The added pickled onion which was a new flare for me but it added a different flavor profile to the sandwich. The knuckle sandwich on a garlic bagel was delectable. Very cheesed up so there were no complaints there! For $23 and two bagel sandwiches, I'd say it was a little pricey but worth a treat. I wouldn't go here all the time though. Definitely will be returning

Both the bagel sandwiches and coffee were nothing extraordinary. They both lacked flavor. If you are nearby and need a bite to eat, it's fine, but wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. Although the workers were very nice, we waited a long time for our order. It's nice inside but not much seating is available. Thinking this is more of a favorite for those who live nearby.

The bagels are tasty and it's poppin on the weekend. This was my first time- friendly staff but they didn't do my order right and I didn't realize it til I got home. First they lost my drink order so I waited 20 minutes til I asked, they were apologetic and that's not a problem. But I was really disappointed when I got home to enjoy my cheddar chive bialy with sweet onion cream cheese. Instead I found I was given a room temp cheddar jalapeño bialy with no cream cheese. Bummer. I picked off all the jalapeños and the bagel was very delicious so I would go back, but probably not on a weekend.

First! Call ahead for pick up @thedalybagel in Oak Park, IL - the line is worth the wait but why? This place has GREAT BAGELS! It is also really cute, has good coffee, amazing pastries, and a kind welcoming staff! I had The Obvious on an everything bagel- perfect! More cream cheese than you could wish for, lox , and all the capers!! My stepdad had the Sweet & Tart and it was just that sweet from the honey and tart from the goat cheese cream cheese and apple.

I rarely do updates on reviews because at most places I visit, there are few changes. But after my experience here this weekend, I felt compelled to write one - so here goes... I've come back to Daly Bagel a few times since my first visit and review. The food remains good and the employees are still nice - so on that end, all is well. But what is unsettling is the way the place is set up. There's not a good "service flow" - there's a somewhat small area in front for guests and when it's busy - which is not uncommon, things get kind of bunched up. In the past couple of months, I've considered going there to pick something up on my way home from work (I work overnight), but have decided not to because the wait can be long; longer than it should be for the number of people in the place. Things came to a head for me this past Sunday. I came in and was 3rd "in line". As I'm standing there, I decide to get some cream cheese spread, which is to the left, away from the counter. I stepped over there for about a minute - grab my cream cheese spread choice, turn around and now I'll be 5th in line. Ugh, but it is what it is - still better than had I waited until I ordered and stepped over which would have stalled the ordering area. So I get to the front and make my order. I set the cream cheese on the counter for it to be put with the other items I'm getting. I order a deli sandwich, two bagels and two chocolate chunk cookies. I see one of the deli people getting cookies from the display. I pay my $29+ bill and step to the side. A bag is put down for me. Cream cheese is still by the order area, so I say something. Here comes the sandwich - they put it all in a larger bag - off I go. I get home, start to eat my sandwich and as I empty the rest of the bag I see there are bagels in the bag they set on the counter, but my two cookies are no where to be found. I could've gone back, but I'm tired and just want to go to bed. Pretty frustrated though. They need to remove the couple three places they have to sit and eat and flatten out the service area so everything is in a step by step line and one has their whole order in place - maybe with the exception of the sandwich(es) at the end of the counter. And with those, when it's they might consider giving people numbers to put on their cars and running the finished sandwiches out to the cars to reduce the congestion in the restaurant. The cream cheese and beverages refrigerators should be at the start of the line so people can easily pick them up before they place their order. It's just too much of a clusterflume in there - especially if there are first time guests that are unfamiliar with the place and their offerings. I will return - but not nearly as often as I would given the disorganized ordering circumstances.

Great bagels and sandwiches Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Bagels bagels bagels More bagels

Favorite bagels in Chicagoland area. Untoasted is better here. Service is friendly, coffee is pretty good (though pricy), and bagels are perfect. Wish there was outdoor seating!

Busy bagel shop, lines usually out to the entrance area because of how small the shop is. Bagels are delicious and the coffee is great. Expect a wait time when ordering if there's a line and people are in front of you. Also, some small mix ups happen when making an order because of the amount of bagels moving around the shop. If you have allergies or specific diet please let them know and double check your bag before walking away! It happened to us when we ordered two bagels , one was vegetarian and the other wasn't but we resolved it by just switching sandwiches.

I love the Obvious bagel. I had it on an everything bagel. We also took home some bagels, and I had the pretzel bagel and plain cream cheese the next day. Both were so good. I love the bagels here. My only complaint is the restaurant flow is a bit awkward, and I always feel a bit claustrophobic and don't know where to stand to get my food. It feels a little slow, maybe because my husband ordered one of the hot sandwiches. But we will still come here for the delicious food and stick to the weekends when we have more time to kill.

I have to maintain a gluten-free diet, so this 5-star review is given by of the 2 teens and 1 husband who live with me and who have been eating nothing but Daly bagels since 8:30 this morning. 3 meals. Several snacks. All bagels, all day! My husband biked over, waited in line for 45 minutes this morning, and scored a dozen bagels: lemon lavender, cinnamon sugar, and plain. Plus two cream cheese tubs. Coffee and juice available as well. Great neighborhood location in NW Oak Park. Huge fan club here in Oak Park so plan to arrive early and wait in line, for now. You can order ahead, on-line. Special shout out to the team at Daly Bagel for successfully opening your shop during a global pandemic!!! I can't imagine. Great job!! I wish I could try them, but I totally understand that gluten is vital for bagel making.

Their prices are so reasonable along with really cool and amazing flavors for the bagel spreads. Some weekday specials.

My husband and I stopped in during the morning rush for a quick breakfast date. What's that saying? 'Third times a charm.' That's how many times it took to get my order right. After observation, I noticed that someone was in training. I feel that information should have been divulged to me after the second time my order was made incorrectly and maybe offered something for the trouble. What I ordered was The Obvious, obviously! I love lox and bagel. My modifications were an Asiago bagel, garlic and herb cream cheese, and raw red onions, no tomato. What started as a rocky relationship, may grow into something great because that sandwich was amazing! I love how all the flavors blended well together and there was just the right amount of ingredients.

So many bagels, so little time! I love the food and drink options at The Daly Bagel. The Rise and Shine is a delicious egg sandwich on a bagel of your choice; I typically go with a toasted pumpernickel bagel and add crispy bacon and cheese for a tasty, affordable, and filling breakfast. The Daly Bagel serves Dark Matter Coffee, which is another plus! They have bags of whole bean coffee from DMC for sale there, including their own Daly blend and at least one of the latest Dark Matter releases. The iced lattes and cold brews are delicious and strong. They have a rotating bagel of the week, ranging from chocolate chip to lavender to jalapeño cheddar and more. The employees are friendly and get you your drinks fast while you wait for your bagel order. The space is small and feels even tighter on the weekends, when you need to be prepared to wait due to a long line as everyone stops in for delicious bagels and coffee. I've often ordered food and drinks to go and either gone home or stopped at a nearby park to enjoy the Daly fare and the weather in peace.

We went of our way to visit The Daly Bagel and it was worth the drive! We picked up half a dozen bagels to go, an Asiago bagel with roasted herb and garlic cream cheese, and a Rise and Shine (bacon, egg & cheese) on garlic bagel. The bagels are some of the best we've had in the area. They are generous with the toppings and since the bagels aren't toasted, you can really appreciate the flavors. I'm not sure if they'll toast the bagels upon request, but they didn't ask and we didn't request. We're glad we didn't because it was nice to taste the toppings. The Asiago bagel was so so good and the middle hole fills up with cheese so you can even enjoy the Asiago with the bottom half of the bagel! The herb and garlic cream cheese was really light and fluffy and they were generous with the serving. The black and white cookie wasn't our favorite, so we'll pass on that next time. We definitely plan to come back and will always get bagels to go and freeze!

Picked up a Rise and Shine & The TLT for about $14 on Sunday morning. My husband enjoyed the Rise and Shine (I enjoyed the bite I tried) & I loved the TLT (shown in photo) a complete mouthful! We showed up before the crowd & it took about ten minutes to prep. As soon as I got my food there was a bit of a line forming. There is outside patio sitting (it's just some wire tables on patchy grass) that gets the job done.

My 300th review!!!!! YAY! What a great place to share this with. We have been wanting to check this cute bagel spot out and finally did! The decor is adorable and I love how big the menu was on the wall is. The associate at the register was kind and wearing a mask. The space is small inside and there was a sign on the door to only have 3 people inside at a time. There was plenty of room to stand on the sidewalks outside and wait. We got a dozen bagels to-go: 3 of the everything, 3 of the Asiago cheese, 3 of the onion, and 3 of the cinnamon sugar. I learned that the bagels are NY style boiled then baked. They are SO fluffy with the perfect texture. Hands down, I think these are the best bagels I've had. To go with them, we tried the veggie cream cheese and the Chicago-style cream cheese. They had a big fridge on the side of the register that housed all the cream cheese for easy grab and go. They were both creamy and packed with flavor. I also got a house roast coffee to go and all around, had a great experience. If you're in the mood for some mouth-watering bagels and cream cheese, get your butt over here and try them out! Street parking is a breeze and you won't regret it.

Tiny place! There was a Long line, cashier rushing customers to order... huh A great place for people who enjoy overpriced food. Tried several item: Sugar bagel with cream cheese - nothing outstanding Breakfast bagel - same bagel as any other location Bagel dog- nothing stood up Hot chocolate (1 start for that, not overly sweet) Did not feel welcome! I guess they prefer Caucasian customers Will not recommend! Will not give it a second chance.

I've been here multiple times but haven't written a review. This is what north oak park needed. If you can get there when it's not busy it's delicious. The bagels are fresh and the sandwhiches are good. The coffee is dark matter so it fits the bill. The only thing I might say is the price is quite high which takes away from the "Daily" bagel but definitely good for a treat.

Soooooo great bagle! The obvious is fantastic I would definitely eat a lot if this was close to my house.

The Daly bagel has the best bagels in town. As close as you can get to New York style in Chicago. The special flavor of the week is always a must try. My personal favorite bagels are pumpernickel and lemon lavender. I loveee the sweet tart sandwich with arugula, goat cheese cream cheese, honey, and apple.

Great bagels made fresh in house daily. Delicious. Reasonably priced. Neighborhood secret gem but based on the lines maybe it's not a secret

Where to start but YUM?! I ordered The Ultimate whitefish pate sandwich on an Everything Bagel and did not regret it. (Well, I regretted not getting another one!) I've never been a huge bagel person but I think that's mainly bc I'd never had a good bagel... but I'm a fan of The Daly Bagel now! The sour cream (?) and the fish just paired so well with the cucumber and red onions! And the veggies added a nice little crunch factor. There's no way to eat it without getting a little messy, but it's totally worth it. I also got a medium drip coffee, which I believe is their own blend of Dark Matter Coffee; Extra points there! I ate it so quickly that I didn't even take a photo of it... Oops. #sorrynotsorry

Fresh, just the right chew and crunch. Great variety, good spreads coffee, and cookies. Best bagels I've ever had and I've had many in n NY and all across the US.

Love bagels and this place happens to be near my work. We had a jalapeno cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. The jalapeno cheddar bagel was softer and seemed fresher than the everything bagel, unfortunately. Regardless, I appreciate freshly made bagels and still enjoyed it. And I'm happy to support small local businesses!

Rude customer service. Went there to pick up a pre-order, website said to go to the Lombard street door, but there was no sign and no person there and I didn't want to just walk in to what looked like the kitchen entrance. Waited outside in line for 15 minutes and once I got in and asked they directed me to the back. I told the staff member what happened and suggested putting a sign on the door. Their response was "it says it on the website". We went back and forth a couple times and each time the only thing they said was "it's on the website". All I was looking for was a simple "sorry about your wait- we will make a sign".
