Barb City Bagels - DeKalb

Food tates great, but took 15 minutes to get my food.

I have been there three times as I like to give anywhere three tries before deciding whether I like it or not. Three different times have I ordered the pizza bagel and had it still be ice cold inside due to the sauce. Three different times I’ve had to wait till I drove back to Elgin to my microwave to actually eat it at a safe temperature. I will not be returning.

This place offered some really nice options for food and pastries. Definitely a nice aesthetic that I would visit again and hope to try some of their other food options between classes. I'd definitely recommend coming earlier in the day when the bagels are still plentiful however but otherwise I wouldn't recommend missing this place if you've got the opportunity to stop in for a quick bite.

I love this place. Best bagels I've ever had. I was introduced to coffee here.

Just tried this place for the first time, wonderful! The coffee is really good, they give you many options for creamers and flavoring. The food was delicious and the workers were very nice. Can’t wait to go back!
