Gotham Bagels

Stop searching. It's here. Since the close of H and H in NYC some years ago, Gotham now wears the crown. Such good bagels. I'm currently in the Chicago downtown Dearborn location, feasting on a fine sesame bagel with whitefish salad. Did I toast the bagel? No. It was already perfect. Now, spoiler, I haven't tried all the whitefish salads. I've only had a lot of them. But to save time, I'm also going to say my search for the most excellent whitefish salad also ended this morning. This is it. Truly fine, fishy fare. I could (and may) eat this for every meal today.Don't waste another second. Get here. Get fed. Eat the things.

I attempted to get a bagel here this morning. Walked the mile which was a nice walk to get there. You order while outside at a window. I asked the lady if this is where you order and she directed me to their online menu and informed me to order there and pick up at window. I went online and even though the board outside says they have cinnamon and raisin online it was not available. Ok got a sesame but could not for the life of me find how to add cream cheese. I went on to order coffee and they did not have half and half only oat milk. At this point I had enough gave up and went elsewhere. It should not be that hard to order a bagel with cream cheese and a coffee.

The omfg bagel got me omfg-ing. Once you walk in, you'd probably think you are in the wrong spot. Looks like a bar but just walking down, and you will see the order counter. It's very dimly lit but I found out that this place turns into a bar at night. So cool. Staff were great and super friendly. My order came out less than 10 minutes. I ordered the OMFG bagel on an everything bagel with extra scallion spread. It was loaded and definitely messy to eat. The fried egg exploded on me so be careful. The bagel was perfectly toasted; soft yet crispy texture. I enjoyed my bagel so much! I ate half of it there and saved the other half for the airport. They have a nice spacious outdoor seating in front. The OMFG bagel was the popular item and I can see why. It had fried chicken, cheese, fried egg, bacon bagel with sriracha aioli. I added the scallion cream cheese and it was a game changer!! It was totally worth it.IMO I think it's better than some bagel places here in San Jose, CA. I highly recommend!

Back again today for some delicious bagels! Both my daughters got the plain bagel toasted with cream cheese and I had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. We enjoyed them outside and they were delicious!

Finally got to try this place and it didn't disappoint! I ordered ahead on the app and waited on their little patio which was cute! Perfect day out to sit and enjoy this. The spicy ketchup and potato later really took this to another level. The pick-up spot is inside another restaurant to the back but you won't miss it with the outdoor patio. Will definitely be trying this again!

The bagels were excellent, and the servings were large. Space was small but good enough for. Friday morning. Service was good, took a little while but the bagels were worth it.

We stayed at the hotel down the block, so one morning, I ordered online and picked it up to take back to the hotel. The ordering process, including notification texts, was easy. They prepared them super quick. We got the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, the OMFC (Nashville fried chicken, egg, bacon and cheddar, side of spicy aioli and pickle). We also ordered an everything bage with scallion cream cheese. Both breakfast sandwiches were really good. There was so much cream cheese on the bagel, they didn't skimp. The coffee was great, too.

Bagel sandwiches are top notch here! I walked in here after grocery shopping and forgot to complete my order online. When I arrived they figured it out quickly and placed my order right away. The staff here is always very helpful and friendly. It came out quick and was still hot when I got home. I usually order the Rocky's Deli. It's a good portion size and I usually eat half for breakfast and half for lunch.

My beautiful and genius fiancé found this bagel place while in town. On a Friday morning we journeyed the streets and into Gotham Bagels. It was a great move. The bagels are extremely chewy. The hospital staff nearby knows what's up. There was a line but the sandwiches didn't take that long. I enjoyed mine immensely. Would eat again. The shop is small.

Just moved into the neighborhood and this bagel place is beyond perfect. It's hidden and the location right next to the train is perfect. The ambiance also elevates the whole experience along with excellent staff. I'm so happy to know I have a staple like this place within walking distance.
