Coffee was completely water down and bagel was completely tasteless even dough we bought 4 different flavors.

The way the staff is able to serve customers is really awesome. They're friendly, and efficient even when customizing bagels. It's really impressive. Thank you!!

I don't know why people like this place. Its overpriced, the atmosphere gets loud when studying, and I honestly had the worst hot chocolate of my life here. The coconut pulp juice is good, really good, but still .

Need to grab a bite? Worth stopping here for hot sandwich or bagel. Has that city diner feel. And was pretty quick on the order.

Good service, great bagels and cream cheese.

Best breakfast spot on the west side of Chicago .Bagels are nice and fresh,really good.Will continue to treat myself to their delicious breakfast bagel.?

The bagels are solid and this is a good place for an affordable breakfast on the go. There is a great selection of bagels, cream cheese flavors, and sandwiches. However, the coffee isn’t great and after a couple visits with subpar coffee, I’ve learned to pick up a bagel and get coffee somewhere else or make it at home. With that in mind, service is quick and prices are very reasonable.

I had a pretty typical order here at Great American Bagel - everything with veggie schmear. The bagel was just okay, in my opinion. I thought it was a bit too dense and did not taste particularly fresh. It wasn't bad, but I'm a big fan of an airy, loose NY style bagel with a nice even and crisp crust to it. This had neither of those things. I'd recommend getting a sandwich or trying another menu item, other than just a bagel.
