Nicole D.Nicole Duhoski: Love this place. I'm still on the hunt for a better bagel in Chicago, but it was better than most. Everything else is delicious. Matzo ball soup, corned beef, breakfast hashbrowns-yum.

Bobby K.Bobby Kennedy: Same couple who've been running Beans & Bagels the past 2 years but they've finally been able to rename the place something original. Also kept the great coffee, sandwiches, and service.
