Even though it was 730am the place was fairly busy. This seems to be similar to the Naperville location where customers grab n go vs sit down and hang out. This location is more spacious compared to Naperville though and they do have a good amount of indoor seating. I tried the morning sunrise breakfast bagel sandwich which comes with scrambled eggs. I added cheddar cheese and veggie cream cheese. The portion is generous and priced well. They are not stingy when it comes to giving ingredients. My only 'con' is I thought the bagel was kind of plain. I asked for sourdough and may have gotten a plain bagel by mistake, no worries though. Everything else made up for it. I really enjoy the texture and flavor of the cream cheeses here and their bagels are exactly how I like them. Thick enough and fluffy.

It was so thoughtful to provide this in a time of need. I chose a BLT on a sesame bagel with chive cream cheese. My husband chose a BLT and added an egg on an onion bagel with chive cream cheese. I got an everything bagel that I could save for later. Our total turned out to be around $15, a steal for breakfast for 2! We took our breakfast to go. The ingredients were fresh and the lady made our bagel sandwiches to order. These sandos made my morning. I will be back to grab more bagels and a tub of cream cheese. This experience reminds me to support local businesses: If you find a local spot that serves something fantastic, make that extra stop to show them some love. This place is for bagel lovers and for soon-to-be-bagel-lover converts. The bagels are fresh, the service is friendly, and the ambiance is homey. Five stars!

They have several flavors of gluten free bagels, squeal! The service is so welcoming and considerate about allergies. We shared a Bee Sting breakfast sandwich because this is how it is described on the menu "One of our most popular sandwiches! Egg, Cheddar Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Scallion Schmear, and Heaven's Hot Honey. You can't beat this combo!" Omg it was scrumptious! You can pre-order and drive thru to pick up or park in the adjacent lot and walk in. You can customize everything so check out their website ordering menu ahead of time. The coffee was really tasty too. There was a constant flow of patrons early on a Sunday morning. There are only two tables inside so we took our order to go. I'm already dreaming of what I'll try next and who I will bring with to enjoy these really delicious bagels in Geneva.

Their options of cream cheese are also amazing. Service is always fast, so don't let any long line discourage you. The quality of everything here is 5/5. I just sometimes find the value not always hitting the mark. Some days my bagel sandwiches have more substance inside, some times there's less. When they make your sandwiches hearty, the price is justified. When they don't put as much inside, it's hard to justify the value because you know you've gotten better made sandwiches. Their coffee is also very overpriced for what it is. It's not good enough to justify over $5 for a tiny iced coffee, especially when they're using a corporate brand coffee. Wish they'd find some local coffee, then the price would be more justified. Regardless, the taste is always spot on. Just wish they had hash browns!

Known for their classic New York-style sandwiches, house-cooked corned beef and pastrami, and traditional deli staples like matzo ball soup, latkes, knishes, and fresh bagels, this place truly delivers the full deli experience. Their bagels are traditional NYC style -- boiled, topped, proofed, and baked fresh daily. My husband and I tried the Asiago cheese, spicy pepperoni, and onion bagels, and they were all delicious. Inside the deli you'll also find a huge selection of freshly baked goods including: * Rugelach * Cherry & Strawberry Carnegie-style creamy cheesecakes * Colossal chocolate eclairs * 5-layer carrot cake & chocolate blackout cake * Classic black & white cookies They make 16 different bagels daily along with pastries, and more. You can also grab house-made soups, their popular egg salad, bagel chips, and other deli favorites to-go. The best Matza-ball soup I have ever had! I ordered the #37 Stuffed Grilled Cheese from their creative sandwich menu -- made with sharp cheddar, Schmacon, mayo, two crispy latkes, all stuffed inside challah bread. Wow. From the moment you walk in, owners Mark and Tonia make you feel like you're visiting friends. You can tell many guests are regulars, and anyone new is welcomed with the same warm smile. Our server Paul was AMAZING and helped guide us through the menu. Schmaltz has earned recognition from Chicago Tribune dining lists and West Suburban Living's "Best of the West 2025." Drive-thru available Private party/event room Seasonal outdoor patio seating They also have a wall of photos from guests who travel near and far to visit, which really shows how special this place has become to the community.

Insanely stuffed, they did not skimp out on the salmon or cream cheese. Flash backs to all the times i ordered a lox bagel at restaurants and none compared to this portioning. Highly recommend this establishment, hope they stay in business for many more years to come.

When we started to get hungry just being spectators I sent my dad out to find some food. I did a quick search on Yelp and pointed him the direction of County Farm Bagels. Similar to the tennis courts at College of Dupage he said the bagel place wasn't easy to find, but he made his way there. From there he ordered 2 sandwiches and then realized he forgot his wallet at home. Oops. And he's about 10 years behind when it comes to having apple pay on your phone. The woman at the bagel shop was nice enough to let him call me and pay over the phone. 20 minutes later he made his way back to Dupage and I enjoyed a poppy bagel filled with egg and cheese. It was a bit too cheesy for my liking, but still tasted pretty good and I was famished so anything would do. I also don't find Chicagoland to have the best bagels, but this one was pretty soft! This is quite far from me in the North Shore, but if i find myself in the area again (likely for another tennis tournament) I'd stop here for a quick bite to eat.

Yesssss, FINALLY a bagel spot in my area that I actually like!…read more A friend and I stopped in on a late Friday morning and the place was consistently busy. Even with the influx of customers the staff members kept up with it and provided excellent service. Tip - bring cash to avoid a 3% CC charge. This location is smaller/narrow compared to the Winfield 1. Indoor seating is good for 10-15 people. I got the cheddar oregano bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese. The bagel itself was flavorful and had a decent texture. I should have asked for have it be double toasted but that's just my preference. I enjoyed the cream cheese too. I also should have asked for them to drown my bagel with it but again, that's my B. Overall flavors were there for me and I really liked it. I'm particular when it comes to bagels and I'm happy to have finally found my go to bagel shop in the SW burbs. I'll be coming back to try more items very soon!

This location is in the heart of downtown Naperville and even at 830am it was extremely crowded.

My group stood in line for a good 15 mins bc of how busy they were. Took about 5 minutes to get our food after ordering though. I personally think it's better to keep it simple from here - get a dozen bagels and a couple of shmears and call it a day.
