Bagel Miller Bagels — Restaurant in Lake View Township

I’ve heard a lot about this place and finally went in. What I found was a pretty decent but unremarkable eating experience surrounded by lots of eclectic cafe flair reminiscent of a pop up, Instagram bar.

I had a cappuccino with zero artistry and my friend had a tasty kombucha that came in a bottle that you can pour into a mason jar. For my breakfast I had the sausage maple cheddar biscuit. I underestimated the biscuit portion which was easily my least favorite part, but I just don’t like biscuits. My friend enjoyed it. The eggs and cheddar were tasty though the egg was a custard which meant scrambled and then fried - I would have preferred a nice, greasy fried egg. The maple was a great touch.

My friend had the Shakshouka Heirloom Oat Bowl. I was instantly jealous. The oat/grain base was hearty and flavorful, topped with all sorts of goodies like avocado, a hard boiled egg and the shakshouka which I believe was the spicy red salsa like substance that soon dominated the whole mix. I had potatoes on the side of my biscuit sandwich instead of salad and dipped it in the mix, and it was amazing.

The whole meal cost over $40 before tip which was a bit of a shock. This is not a place to go for a quick bite. It’s cute, has a patio and the staff isn’t rude but for my eating experience I really felt like I overspent. I don’t know that I have any reason to return, it was a fun experience but I can’t justify the price for what I had.

I think Baker Miller is about a 3.4, so I...

I live nearby and have walked past this place many times since it opened. Based on the very trendy aesthetic and design, I assumed this would be a place one goes to Instagram their meal rather than a place that’s serious about baking delicious bagels. Despite the off-putting branding, I decided to take a look at the reviews on Google to see what others are saying.

Even though there were some negative reviews (and very snarky responses to customers from the owner), I decided to visit for lunch on a Sunday.

I ordered a Fig bagel sandwich, which sounded delicious. Unfortunately, they were out. I then took another look at the menu to pick out something else and was told they only had two bagel varieties left. (I’m a sesame girlie, and they only had plain and everything left. Heartbreaking.)

After double-checking the prices (around $14 for a sandwich with no side or drink), I decided to grab lunch elsewhere on Lincoln. I wasn’t eager to spend that kind of money on a sandwich I didn’t even want.

Maybe I’ll visit again during the week when they hopefully aren’t as busy. Two stars because the sandwich I wanted sounds good enough to come back for.

FYI: A sausage, egg and cheese bagel at NY Bagel & Bialy (a genuine NYC bagel place in the area) is $4.95. At Miller Bagel, the same sandwich would be $11.95. Since the owner clearly loves responding to reviews, I’d love to know why their sandwiches are 140% as expensive as a...

Thought it was just me, but upon her reading the reviews I see it’s me and just about everyone else that thinks something is off with this place. It’s probably my fourth time here first at the new location. First couple times at the old location I felt the counter people or a bit condescending can’t call them servers because nobody brings anything or take anything away yet they still ask for tips. Always found the butter and jam bar messy looking.

Went today and I have the guacamole Benedict not a good combination the guac makes the biscuit a pile of mush and the egg is not poached it was over easy which it does say it is in the menu but it was absolutely runny. When I asked the person at the counter if that’s how it usually comes she just said yes. Hollandaise sauce is on the bottom not on the top and the salad is right on the same plate which means the salad dressing is also Holindaise, this should be revisited by the management. The premade coffee in vacuum Pump style giant thermoses was lukewarm at best and an tasty at worst. They did have oat milk that was niceButter and jam bar still looked messy for the prices they charge there is no value here I won’t...
