Goldberg's Famous Bagels

Got a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese, bagel cane extremely burnt with burnt onion on both sides of the bagel. I am a type 1 diabetic at work and couldn’t make it back to exchange it because I had given myself insulin 15 minutes before eating. My coworker was nice enough to go back and they were extremely rude and laughed in my coworkers face but still remade it.

Headed in again today—and once more, disappointed. My hands aren’t growing, but the sandwiches are definitely shrinking. See photo. I ordered a toasted croissant, and this is how it came out—flat, unappetizing, and nothing close to what you’d expect for the price. On top of that, the $16 lox, cucumber, and onion bagel I ordered barely had two ounces of lox, plus stale chips on the side. I even asked that the lox be sliced thin and portioned enough for a proper meal, but what I got was underwhelming at best. The parking is terrible, the staff rarely greet you, and while the owners sit comfortably chatting over coffee, customers are left paying premium prices for declining quality. Portions keep shrinking, prices keep climbing—and somehow we’re expected to accept it.

Very satisfied with the service and the bagels. This is how I remember real NJ deli bagels. Thanks for the blast from the past. Chicago has a lot of great food, but the bagels just are not the same. I have seen some of the reviews, and you just can't please some people. We had a party of 4, all getting breakfast sandwiches on bagels. They were all stacked with egg, bacon, and whatever twist made that sandwich unique. The lox & cream cheese with capers was legit and piled with lox. When we are back visiting family, we are 100% coming here again.

I had been coming here weekly for several months - the pricing is incredibly inconsistent and after comparing receipts (my order never changes) I realized that we had been overcharged just about every single time. Bagels are burnt, toppings are incorrect, and regardless of how busy they are, they will take 25 minutes every visit. Will not be returning.

Soooo goood! Delicious bagels and bakery area. Loved how the layout of the place is too. My bagel with scrambled egg and cheese was so good! Definitely have to come back sometime. Parking is in the back of the building.
