Steingold's of Chicago

My son was VERY excited to have his first bagel today. Gluten free/vegan bagel along with vegan cream cheese. & the cold brew is very good as well!

Great spot for a casual breakfast or a bite before a matinee at Music Box Theatre. The bagels are excellent, and I appreciate that they accommodate various dietary restrictions, offering a gluten-free everything bagel and various vegan-friendly schmears, including Violife Vegan Cream Cheese, avocado spread, strawberry jam, and peanut-free sunflower butter. I've loved most of the items I've tried. The outdoor seating area is dog-friendly. They offer a water station with complimentary sparkling or flat water, and have a huge selection of grab-n-go drinks, including beer, wine, spritzes,chai, Topo Chico, prebiotic sodas, and much more. The service is fantastic. Once I ordered a cocoa-cinnamon babka ahead of time and received a call the next morning, apologizing profusely because the batch was not up to their standard and had to be tossed. The restaurant and patio can both be incredibly busy, and items run out frequently. It helps to order ahead on the Toast Takeout app.
