Bagels yummy got the breakfast builder Joe very charismatic and fun conversations. Location is off busy road but has seating inside. Some games for kids to play. Overall comforting vibes

Stopped in for some bagels at Bad Guy Bagels in Geneva. Enjoyed the bagels and coffee in a cute little home like restaurant. The restaurant is located on the corner and looks just like an everyday house except you will likely see people eating on the porch if its nice out. Super delicious bagels, i will be back!

Main Menu

Bad Guy Bagels is located just beyond the main Downtown area in Geneva. This little house turned bagel shop had a designated parking lot east of the main building. They offer some inside seats and a couple of outdoor tables. Their menu is a mix of bagels & schmear, bagel breakfast/lunch sandwiches, coffee drinks, and some sweet treats. Their bagels, schmear, and a couple more items are available to purchase in bulk to go. This spot was super busy for a Saturday morning! My husband ordered a Jalapeño bagel with Jalapeño Pimento Spread. It's not often one sees Pimento Cheese spread as an option so he had to try it. It was savory with a buildable heat to it. I got the Breakfast Builder sandwich with Bacon, Scrambled Egg, & Cheese on a Garlic Bagel. The flavors paired well together but would have benefitted from a sauce. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our food but bagels did seem smaller than other places we've been and wish the flavors popped more. Either way, this is a great option in the area and shows by how many people were there to enjoy!

Coffee

I stopped in at Bad Guy Bagels on a weekday morning and thought it was great to see they consistently had customers coming and going. This is a family owned business and I felt the warmth of it being family owned. There is limited seating inside (4 seats total) and an enclosed outdoor patio with about 10 seats. Staff members were helpful and patient. They offered suggestions and gave off positive energy. Once my husband and I placed our order it took about 5-10 mins for everything to be ready. I tried the bee sting sandwich on an egg bagel and thought it was pretty good! All the ingredients go well together and the texture of the bagel is great. I wish I would have specified wanting an over easy egg. Mine was cooked scrambled and I think that would have made it the 'over the top' experience I was looking for. My husband tried the Taylor pork roll on an everything bagel. He thought it was OK. He didn't love the ham but overall thought the sandwich was decent.

I was in the area and wanted a sandwich for lunch. I love to support locally whenever possible, and I came across this spot. I was by myself, so I just ordered online. It was ready when I got there. It's a cute, small stand alone building. While picking up, I realized they also have coffee. I would love to try that if I come back. The club sandwich was good! I got it on an onion bagel, but they also had plenty of other bagels to choose from. I probably should've gotten chips or something to go with it, but it was very tasty!

The Inferno, breakfast sandwich
Joshua K.

The staff here at Bad Guys Bagels were friendly, helpful, and busy. The establishment is in a bright, vibrant, and recently converted single-family home. The food is fabulous. I had ordered a large latte and The Inferno breakfast sandwich. My sandwich came nice and hot with some good spice.

Finally, a bagel spot that hits the mark! The food here is absolutely delicious... fresh bagels loaded with flavor, local meats, and that perfect melty cheese pull. The service is quick and friendly, and the whole vibe reminds me of the kind of bagel shops you'd find in the city. As a Jewish Chicagoan, I can say there aren't many great bagel places left around here, but this one is the real deal. Absolutely worth the stop. I'll be back often!

Egg Bagel with Pumpkin Spice Schemer
Bailey P.

Bagels are my weakness so when I heard Geneva was getting a bagel shop I was both excited and nervous. I stopped by on a Thursday morning. It's located right off of State Street which makes it a convenient stop on the way to work. There are a few small tables inside and a few more on the patio. They also had a pac-man and frogger machine which I thought was too cute! I tried a toasted egg bagel with pumpkin spice cream cheese. The bagel tasted so fresh. Dreamy is the best word to describe it. They did not skimp on the pumpkin spice cream cheese either. It wasn't as overly sweet as I expected which was perfect! I'm a sucker for anything seasonal and couldn't resist. Overall, a cute little addition to Geneva. Friendly workers and delicious food!

See all

Very good authentic "boiled first" bagels. It is going to save me a trip to Skokie for a decent bagel!

The bagels are good but it's hit or miss with the sandwiches. Very expensive for a quick snack.

Solid bagel, but the overall bagel sandwiches are pretty mid. Small, not overly high quality. I wouldn't get it again.
