Fresh, Warm, and Made with Love Since '94

Welcome to Bagels by the Book

In the heart of Libertyville, Bagels by the Book has been serving up fresh, hand-rolled bagels and homemade spreads that bring people together. Our story began with a simple mission: make every bagel from scratch, using only the best ingredients, and serve it with a smile that feels like home.

Since opening our doors in 1994, we’ve grown from a small neighborhood bagel shop into a local staple, beloved for our chewy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside bagels, creative flavors, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee, hosting a brunch, or stopping in after a walk through Libertyville’s charming town, we’re here to make your day a little warmer (and a lot more delicious).

From classic sesame and everything bagels to seasonal specialties, every batch is baked fresh daily—because we believe the best bagel is the one you bite into while it’s still warm. 

We’re proud to be part of the Libertyville community, supporting local events, schools, and causes. So whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, welcome—you’re family here.
