Tilly Bagel Shop

We tried this bagel spot and had a great experience! 🥯 We ordered a chicken Caesar bagel and a lox bagel both on an everything bagel. The portions were generous and everything was delicious especially the lox which had plenty of salmon inside :) Service was fast and efficient. There are a few seats inside but it’s a small space and clearly more of a grab-and-go spot. It gets busy but things move quickly. Overall we were very happy with the quality and value for the price.

Hassle free bagels. Ordered online and was available when I came to pick it up. No whitefish salad so I had the crispy potatoes and chorizo on a toasted everything. They had an egg, cheese and sausage on a Chicago style. While mine was good, it didn't work that well together. The potatoes and chorizo deserve to be on their own, and my bagel needed a better compliment of toppings. It was still crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. No salt but fennel seeds in their mix. The Chicago bagel was better imo. It had a better overall texture and flavor. Service style egg and sausage patties were disappointing. They had plenty of seating in their brightly lit dining area but I grabbed my order togo.

I stopped by the shop today and had a great overall experience. The front staff was polite, welcoming, and engaging. My only suggestion would be for the kitchen staff to clean the toaster between items or consider having designated toasters for sweet versus savory bagels. I ordered a cinnamon sweet bagel, but it picked up seeds and onion flavor from other items toasted before it. Other than that, the bagels were very tasty, and I will definitely be back!

Best bagels in Chicago! I bring all my fam and friends from out of town here and it never disappoints. My go to is usually the cheddar bagel sandwich with chorizo, egg and cheese and it always hits the spot. Love their weekly bagel of the week drops and their seasonal cream cheeses. Tilly’s has become a weekly tradition at this point!

Great breakfast spot: Large bagels, generous cream cheese, clean store, friendly staff. You pick your sandwich, bagel type (toasted or not) and cream cheese. Plan for a line, but it wasn’t bad. They have a spot with water and cups. You can walk a few blocks to the park to eat, but there are a few spots inside to sit. We tried the lox (liked it, my son thought it was a bit salty), and bacon egg and cheese (delicious, and great crispy bacon), with different bagels and cream cheese options it’s very customizable. We also had the chocolate chip bagel with Bluberry cream cheese and pumpkin bagel with honey vanilla cream cheese. Good amount of options of bagels and cream cheese.
