Great bagels. A little slow, but really good sandwiches. Quite a variety and selection.
Steamed bagels? Who would have thought that this is exactly what a bagel sandwich needs.
They're just so juicy and filled with moisture. Especially as bagels are usually more dense, this works perfectly to be steamed.
Amazing pick me up for the morning!
CBA found a way to give you a classic but delivered uniquely enough. Bagels are steamed which makes sure your bagel is gonna be warm for a good while even if you're taking it back to your spot but allows for a more delicious and chewy experience. If you've ever wondered what a bagel is like after it's boiled, this is the answer.
Their coffee was also great and the space is ample to sit and relax for a while. This place is worth whatever detour you're considering.
Whenever in the Lakeview area I make sure to make a stop at CBA. They have a steamed bagel sandwich for anyone's taste. The staff is always super friendly. I always have a great experience!
For bagel sandwiches this place is best! I always go for the breakfast sandwiches but have enjoyed some of their lunch sandwiches too. My favorites are the dude, the breakfast bagel with scrambled eggs, the Denver and the puck and I always add chipotle mayo. It's worth it to order ahead online and if you're a cold brew fan they have some of the best!
If you're trying to eat clean, this probably isn't the place for you. Delightfully greasy and messy sandwiches headline the menu. We got the Belmont and the goat killer. Both were really good breakfast sandwiches. Served so hot and melty that they were still hot after my 8 block trek in 20 degree weather. If you like novelty sandwiches served in excess, this is a must stop.
We usually love their bagel sandwiches but the last three orders they’ve given us on completely different sandwich than we ordered out of two. It’s super disappointing and the receipt is clear with what we ordered. Don’t think we’ll be coming back again.
Super good sandwiches. Get there early they get busy. Ask your server for a recommendation. My server recommended the Eggosauraus. It's a spicy sandwich with roast beef, bacon Avocado, egg and cheese. Goes good with a bag of chips and black coffee.
