Finally restaurants are open to indoor seating again in Chicago! Glad I came across CBA in Lakeview today. Its right by the Belmont train station. As a Cubs fan, I had to try the inspired \Goat Killler\ - filled with roast beef, scrambled eggs, pepperoni, provolone, and hot giardiniera on a bialy. Such an amazing creation. Every ingredient was so good. Also, their chicken chili was excellent as well, get it with all the toppings. So worth it. Perfect meal to start the day I think! Try it! Most of the area is 7 day meter parking, but it's Free parking around the area on Sundays before 10AM!

It’s all in the name! CBA has the authority over all bagels in Chicago. That may be a stretch, but either way they’re amazing! There are so many to choose from and so many toppings. And there are other good eats too. The staff is also super friendly! SUPER chill environment with music, nice chairs, a couch, board games, and even a chess table!
Good food. Large selection. You will find something you like. Then you will want it again and again. Excellent customer service.
Biked all the way there in the cold (35 degrees) Sunday morning 10 am. Posters said you have to do online or phone order...fine. Tried to place order online...\We're not accepting orders right now\...weird. Called to place order, and they said \Sorry we're not taking orders right now.\ Sad. I apologize for trying to order a bagel from your bagel store during bagel hours. Also I've had their sandwiches before and they're not worth the money or the wait. Only reason I went back is because I was picking them up for a friend who requested it. Update in response to owner's response: Yes that's fine to use this review as an example of privilege. Again, I apologize for asking you to take my money in return for a few sliced plain bagels so that I can help your employees continue to get paid. I'm sorry you are discovering the privilege of local shop owners to mismanage their over-hyped eateries to the detriment of their hard-working, needing employees. I'm sorry you are discovering the privilege of local shop owners to have hungry, willing customers trek to the store to help support local, open, businesses, only to be turned away because they can't handle more bagel orders. Please note, your website doesn't say you MUST order online ahead.
Best breakfast sandwich I've had. I got the super deluxe on an everything bagel. There are a ton of options. I'm sure everyone would be able to find something they like here. CBA seems to be taking the pandemic seriously too, which is nice.
