"Zeitlin's Deli has some of our favorite bagels, though we've only been able to get them at farmers markets and From Here On food hall. This summer, they're opening a spot in Lincoln Park with a larger menu featuring their chewy, dense bagels. Zeitlin's will also have new coffee drinks and some seating space." - john ringor, nick allen
"The bagels at this From Here On food stall in the Loop are chewy, dense, and very tasty. You also won’t have to unhinge your jaw to enjoy them, since they’re not behemoths like some New York-style varieties. The bubbly crust gets a bit tough when toasted which can lead to a cream cheese facial, but a little mess is worth it for their smoked salmon sandwich. Get it on an everything bagel with chive cream cheese, and you’ll have the best thing available from Zeitlin’s short breakfast menu." - veda kilaru, john ringor, nick allen
"A deli that maintains its Fat Tuesday paczki prices despite rising costs. Known for offering a box of six for $25.20." - Ashok Selvam
