Came here with my boyfriend to try out their breakfast. I got the breakfast special with an everything bagel and he got the fresh smoked lox bagel sandwich on a garlic bagel. Both were delicious!! The bagels were obviously very fresh, the eggs were really good and the bacon was crispy. My boyfriend’s sandwich was ... fresh and delicious as well. Would definitely come again!!! Read More

Amazing deli in Oak Park near Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and studio. The pancakes and bagels are delicious! You must try the chive cream cheese. It’s also super affordable.

Such a sweet breakfast spot in Oak Park! Bagels are great, which is not always an easy in the Chicagoland area. Everyone who worked there was so attentive to our needs!

Been here a few times and the food never disappoints! Great coffee and always fresh made food! The bagels are some of the best! We always order the lox when we can. Family from out of town still ask about coming here when they visit. Great employees that are super friendly, will definitely keep coming back here

Came here for a lox bagle due to recommendations from a buddy of mines and man I'm glad I did because the lox bagle was filling and top tier for sure. Pretty classic lox bagle with sweet onion , cream cheese , capers , tomato and a ton of salmon lox. While being a bit more pricier than other spots like the daily ... bagle , I would much rather come here for a filling meal. I can see why this place has been in business for over 65 years , the bagle was light, crispy and had a nice chew. The only con was the coffee and if you like mcdonalds coffee you'll like it but if you enjoy a nice cup from spots like metropolis, intelligentsia and kribi coffee you won't care for it. Needless to say , I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. Read More

The Onion Roll is a charming, no-frills neighborhood spot that delivers on nostalgia and comfort. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with the warm, unmistakable aroma of fresh baked goods and deli classics—a throwback to the kind of Jewish delis that are increasingly hard to find. The star, of course, is the ... onion roll itself: soft, savory, and packed with that rich, caramelized onion flavor that somehow makes every sandwich better. Whether you're ordering a classic pastrami on rye, a corned beef melt, or even just a breakfast egg sandwich, the onion roll elevates it. Portions are generous, the service is friendly in that authentic, old-school way, and there's a steady stream of regulars who clearly treat this place like a second home. The menu isn’t trendy or Instagram-bait, but that’s the point—it’s comfort food done right. A couple of things to note: the décor is a bit dated, and peak hours can be busy, so patience helps. But if you’re looking for hearty, well-made deli food with character, The Onion Roll hits the spot. Read More
