Crema's Take
“Belle's is a beloved Highland Park bagel destination where house-made everything from thick, spiced applesauce to inventive open-faced sandwiches (try the loxsmith for that perfect zesty-pickley punch) keeps locals lining up eagerly. The chewy, boldly-flavored bagels pair beautifully with craft cocktails like bloody marys, making it equally perfect for a quick morning grab or a leisurely brunch catch-up with friends. There's a welcoming, unpretentious vibe here that feels like discovering a genuine neighborhood gem rather than just another spot.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Came for a weekday brunch fix to catch up with a friend and we both really enjoyed our bagels and bloody marys! I got the loxsmith (wonderful flavor, zesty and pickley) and he got the bacon egg and cheese (so cheesy and savory!). Both had great flavor and just the right about of…
