Our Top Pick
R&A Sourdough
Sourdough-based, kettle-boiled bagels with real flavor-driven topping choices.
Notable Picks
8.3
A Ravenswood sourdough bakery that treats bagels like a craft product—hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked onsite, with flavors (like za’atar) that stay savory and structured. The best orders lean into their lox-and-schmear builds or a breakfast sandwich, and the patio/takeout flow makes it an easy repeat stop when you want something more serious than a standard bagel counter.
Must-Try Dishes:
Za’atar sourdough bagel, Lox & chive everything bagel, The Youngster bagel sandwich
What makes it special: Sourdough-based, kettle-boiled bagels with real flavor-driven topping choices.
Worthy Picks
#2
JB's Deli
7.6
A classic neighborhood deli stop where bagels show up best as part of a bigger Jewish-deli order—lox and cream cheese alongside soup-and-sandwich comfort. It’s strongest when you treat it like an old-school counter hit: one hearty sandwich, one hot side, and a bagel-based breakfast move when you want something familiar and filling.
Must-Try Dishes:
Bagel with lox & cream cheese, Matzo ball soup, Corned beef sandwich
What makes it special: Old-school deli comfort where bagels and lox anchor a bigger menu.
