You'll Be Hooked on Bagel on Damen

Okay, I know what you're thinking. "It's only a bagel place for gosh sake." Say what you will, but Bagel On Damen located at 4639 North Damen in the Ravenswood neighborhood is becoming a daily ritual with me - one that I hadn't anticipated nor wanted. I was anticipating the opening of this place for months, so when it finally opened, I thought, "how different can it be from all the other bagel shops that I've been to?" Well, it was different. As soon as I walked in the place, the smell hypnotized me. It wasn't a doughy, over powering smell, but a delectable mix of warm baked bread, homemade soup and pizza. I literally did not know what to order, because everything looked so good. Other than the food, the staff was very nice and I didn't feel like they were rushing me when I was trying to decide on what I wanted.

With so many choices to ponder, I ended up getting just a turkey bagel sandwich, but it was incredibly tasty. With it, I got a cup of coffee, which I normally don't do at lunchtime, but I wanted to try it because my co-worker said the coffee was great, and it was. The prices were reasonable and not any different, really from any other bagel place. Just so you know, I don't think they take credit cards, at least they didn't when I was there. I did end up buying a dozen bagels to take home for the weekend and my family couldn't have been happier.
