JAKE'S BAGELS & DELI REVIEWS

This was my first time at Jake’s Bagels and Deli. It had a very welcoming and inviting feel. We dined in for lunch and enjoyed the friendly service. Both of our salmon bagels were delicious and fresh. Our only minor complaint was the size of the bagels. They were a little bit smaller than we had hoped. That being said, we will absolutely be back to enjoy more bagels, as well as some of the other treats and juices we saw while visiting the shop.

The first time I was there was yesterday. The bagels are delicious and there creamy rice and chicken has to be the best I ever had. It is so good I went back today for the same thing. Don't miss out this place is not something you want to miss.

The advertising for the store is definitely under rated. This is a wonderful bagel/deli with great charm character and location right on the Fox River. It has an outdoor seating area where you can watch the river. The food was delicious and the people in the store, very helpful and accommodating highly recommend.

BIG APPLE BAGELS REVIEWS

Tried this spot for the first time today. Different varieties of bagel available but they sell out really quick. We were here at 10 am on a Sunday morning and 50% of the bagels were sold out. Bagels are soft and fresh, tried them with the plain cream cheese and it tasted delicious. Service is quick. Coffee was okay though. I would be a regular here.

I live within walking distance of here and honestly it's become a place I enjoy going on weekend mornings. The food is always great and the staff is always friendly and while they work fast I don't feel rushed. Definitely recommend that others try this place cause I love it!

I love all the bagels. Especially the cheesy braid. I warm up and dip in my chicken soup. It was absolutely amazing.

PANERA BREAD REVIEWS

We have been fans of Panera for years, but this experience was terrific because of the care and attention of an associate named Ally. We came in with a pretty complex to go order for several people. There were some custom sandwiches and other non-stock menu requests. She went above and beyond to carefully take the order down and read it back to us carefully to make sure it was completed accurate. The folks in the kitchen did a superb job getting everything correct on the order. Nice job, everyone!

Great place to relax and drink a cup of coffee. Very comfortable and clean. Service is friendly and fast. The sandwiches are delicious and the salads are fresh. They bring your food to your table and that is awesome. Chocolate pastry is my favorite. My son loves the broccoli soup with chips!

I've been coming here for over 18 years and I don't have a complaint. Everything from the pizzas, soup bowls, sandwiches, iced drinks, bagels, and breads... are all very delicious. It's very clean and customer service is friendly.
