It was a pleasant surprise to find this little house offering such delicious bagels. Bonus, it has gluten-free bagels! Think of it as a small deli. There are limited seatings. We arrived around 10:30am on a Sunday, and the parking adjacent to the lot has quite a few cars. There are customers waiting for their order, and some in line to order. They have an extensive option for breakfast and lunch. They also have a good list of coffee menu (they serve Lavazza coffee). The gluten-free bagel was great - it is not prepackaged. The regular bagel was delicious - get some sweetness of honey in between the savory bites from the eggs, cream cheese and bacon. A good complementary flavor! We definitely come back when it gets warmer, and will get some bagels to picnic by the Fox River.

I love that they are gluten conscious here! It's been a long time since I have had a delicious bagel. I got the Bee Sting on a gluten free bagel plus a few bagels to take home for my family. They bagged my gluten free bagels separately and asked if I wanted them to finish the bake on the ones I took home. I was so happy to see gluten free bagels that were the same size as regular bagels! And they were Absolutely delicious. I'll be back for more!

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!

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

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!

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!

David W.

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!

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.

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!

I love a good, fresh bagel so I tried BGB for the first time. Very nice inside, clean and a very friendly staff. I ordered the jalapeño/cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese....delicious. Veggie spread was VERY fresh, crunchy veggies and a generous smear....you can tell it was homemade. The bagel was equally fresh, done just right! Looking forward to going back! read more

Initially we were not impressed with the size of the place but QUICKLY realized, its size was one of the best parts of our experience, as it allowed the owner to be personable and friendly.....speaking to patrons and making sure EVERYTHING is good.

In my opinion, the mark of a good bagel place is having a solid everything bagel and a good veggie cream cheese. The everything bagel with scallion cream cheese from this place was stellar, just what I was craving. Cream cheese had a ton of scallions in it, the bagel was delicious and held up well to the cream cheese. The service was extremely fast, the outdoor seating was really cute, and everyone was nice. Killer bagels, highly recommend. Super glad Geneva has somewhere like this. read more

History

Established in 2023.

If you are reading this it is likely because you know a good bagel is hard to find, especially in the suburbs of Chicago. Chicago produces some of the best food in the world but for some reason when it comes to bagels very few establishments do it right. To be done right, a bagel has to be boiled before it’s baked; Hand rolled not machine molded; and proofed long enough that they float in the kettle while boiling. There are many other parts of the process that are required for a bagel to truly be New York style. These steps take extra time, which also means they cost bakers extra money. There is an epidemic of corner cutting bagel bakers in Chicagoland and we decided enough is enough. We believe the preparation and process is what makes a bagel. Punching a hole into a dinner roll does not make a bagel. It makes a dinner roll with a hole. If you are tired of constantly compromising for sub par bagels, Bad Guy Bagels was made for you. You are our people.
