Chicago's Most Exciting Summer Openings - Chicago - The Infatuation

"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 Best Bagels In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"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

Zeitlin's Delicatessen Review - Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Zeitlin’s Delicatessen has a familiar origin story: It began as a virtual operation and then started selling deli classics at farmers markets and pop-ups around the city. Now, they have a permanent stall at the From Here On food hall in the Loop. Their bagels 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.

As someone who takes their delis seriously, Zeitlin’s ranks high after my first few visits. The bagels are 10/10 - crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside, perfect with salmon or only smear. I’m not regularly a bagel-dog fella, but I tried it - incredible. You can taste the care in every bite, and the staff treats you like family. This isn’t just an excellent deli—it’s a top-tier deli, period. Go once, and you’ll be telling all your people to go too. Trust me, that’s how I heard about Zeitlins, and I needed to spread the good word once I experienced the excellence.

Latkes & sufganiyot were very good, the latkes reheated well in oven, generous portions of quality sour cream & applesauce. Sufganiyot was decadent. I plan to order holiday catering from Zeitlin's again. Challah was also great

Zeitlin’s nails it. The bagels are fresh, perfectly chewy, and full of flavor—classic in the best way. The bagel dogs are a standout: buttery, flaky, and incredibly satisfying. Everything is clearly made with care, and it shows. An easy favorite.

So nice to have good bagels in Chicago!! We placed a pickup order for a brunch for ~10 people and Zeitlins made it so easy -- and we got lots of compliments and "Where did you get all this food?!" Will definitely order again -- thank you!

The best bagels in Chicago!! My Saturday’s aren’t complete without a salt bagel from Zeitlin’s. I’m fully addicted and will be a customer for life! Owned by wonderful people as well! Can’t recommend enough.

Zeitlin’s Deli was so kind in donating bagels for our annual non profit fundraising event. The bagels are the best we’ve had in Chicago and not one was left behind. Truthfully as I myself am from New York, you can’t get any other bagel better then this in the Midwest. Thanks again Sam and staff for excellent communication, coordination, and support for the Pink Boots Society Chicago- women in beer.

Zeitlin’s is officially my go-to bagel shop when I’m in Chicago! Not only is the food absolutely amazing, but all of their employees have been so kind and wonderful to interact with. I love a classic everything toasted with cream cheese, but don’t sleep on the salt bagel!

Zeitlins has the best sourdough bagels and bread in Chicago. The snacks selection is great, and the veggie sandwiches on the focaccia bread are worth trying. Don't sleep on them. Place your order, or visit a farmers market. You don't regret it
