“ Located in The River North neighborhood of Chicago, Corey's NYC Bagel is a delicatessen with gourmet bagel sandwiches. Good food and service. 5 out of 5 stars! ”
“ Went their during Saint Patty's bar crawl and the service was great and fast. They gave my friend a free bagel because she was hammered and too cheap to buy one. They were so sweet to us and everything tasted great. They had green bagels too! (Tasted that like normal plain bagels) ”
“ This storefront is tiny but mighty. Serving up bagels with all your favorite toppings. I went super basic with a plain bagel and scallion cream cheese. The bagel was good could have had a bit more chew but overall delicious. The staff was friendly and extra points for stocking Dr Browns which is the appropriate accompaniment IYKYK ”
“ I got a very simple everything bagel with egg, ham and cheese. It was quite delicious, but the staff was the best part. Everyone was friendly and courteous which is appreciated in a busy place. ”
“ Went to this place on a whim because it was close to our hotel. We were on our way to Einstein Bagels, but it was so cold and windy we blew right into this place. It was a serendipitous surprise. We each got bagels, I got the salmon and lox. It was delicious, but the fun was the way the worker's interact with the customers. They have a bell you can ring and they have a cute phrase they all say in unison. It's a small shop, not much area to sprawl out and eat. We opted to order takeout and take back to our hotel to eat. While waiting the owner/ workers made sure to wish a regular a happy birthday. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. Didn't have a corporate feel which is always a breath of fresh air. If you're in the area and want a bagel, check it out. ”
“ It's Marathon Morning, and our daughter is running in her first Chicago Marathon. We mapped out our strategy to see her in a number of places, but on a Sunday morning in downtown Chicago breakfast options are somewhat limited, and with the influx of runners and spectators, we assumed anyplace we tried would be swamped. Corey's NYC Bagel Deli was on the way to one of our planned stops so we decided to see how the line was....and were surprised that the place wasn't packed. Sure, there was a line, but it wasn't bad at all. To say they have a lot of bagel and cream cheese options would be a massive understatement. The first thing I look for in any bagel shop is a jalapeño bagel, but sadly they don't have one. They do, however, have jalapeño cream cheese, so Jim is pretty happy with that. I'd never have a pretzel bagel before, so I thought that I'd give that a shot with the jalapeño cream cheese. Corey's also has a variety of breakfast sandwiches and a make-your-own-sandwich option as well. There's fresh brewed coffee available, and aside from that there are a number of bottled drinks available in multiple drink coolers. For as busy as they were I was surprised how fast our orders came out (about 15 minutes). I'm not going to lie, there was A LOT of carryout business going on, but the foot traffic inside wasn't terrible. The staff was hustling this morning. Whether it was taking orders, making food, or delivering food, the staff was on-the-go and worked like a well-oiled machine. So here it is, Sunday morning -- Marathon Morning -- and my wife and I are standing eating Corey's bagels in Downtown Chicago. I was 100% impressed with the jalapeño cream cheese. Not only at the amount on the bagel (there was a LOT, but that's ok because I love cream cheese), but at the taste. There were chunks of jalapeño and cilantro. I don't know that I've ever had cilantro in jalapeño cream cheese before, but this was a most excellent touch. An interesting thing happens when you stand in the middle of the street eating a bagel when the city is packed with over 100,000 extra people. Passers by notice you. At least 3 people stopped to ask if there was a bagel shop nearby. "Yes, it's called Corey's and it's two blocks down and around the corner. Just hang a left at the light and you can't miss it". I hope Corey's appreciates the business we sent their way! :) ”
“ I was in Chicago for less than a week and came here for breakfast at least 3 times. The number of choices for the create-your-own bagel sandwich was impressive. Everything was fresh and well-balanced, chewy and delicious. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! ”
“ Yummy bagels... love this place - high quality smoked salmon which I am super picky about employees are awesome and love that they carry ZOA energy drinks ”
