Tilly Bagel Shop Sandwich shop
Made fresh by hand, every single day. We're a small local business built by a pastry chef and an architect: one shapes the dough, the other shapes the space, and together we bring you real sourdough bagels the way they're meant to be. Chicago style means something different, and we're proud of it. Like the classics, our bagels are boiled and baked, but each one is hand-rolled and made with a slow sourdough fermentation, giving them a lighter crumb, a subtly tangy bite, and a golden, craveable crust. It's a bagel built for Chicago, not a copy of anywhere else. Stop by 7 days a week for fresh bagels, house-made cream cheese, hearty sandwiches, and a perfect cup of coffee.
