A morning bagel and coffee can be a chance to support the kind of neighborhood business you want to see thrive. For this Great Lakes Friendly Restaurant spotlight, we’re highlighting Beans & Bagels, a familiar name in Chicago’s Lincoln Square community.
Surfrider Chicago’s restaurant spotlight materials recognize Beans & Bagels for its commitment to sustainability and its participation in the Great Lakes Friendly Restaurants program. The shop brings that commitment to an everyday ritual: picking up breakfast and something freshly brewed.
Classic comfort, creative spreads
The chapter’s spotlight highlights bagels and coffee alongside an inventive selection of spreads, including red dragon, fig, and black bean hummus. It is a reminder that a neighborhood breakfast stop can offer both familiar favorites and something new to try.
Check Beans & Bagels’ official links for current ordering information and updates. Let the team know you appreciate its sustainability efforts, and ask how you can support them during your visit.
