I bought my first bag of bagels from their stand at the farmer's market over a year ago and safe to…read moresay I've been hooked ever since! Now they've opened a storefront and you can get bagels hot and fresh out of the oven multiple days a week! **They plan to extend their operating hours when the market season ends, for now they're open W-F 7:30-1:00 but be forewarned that they may sell out early so I'd check social media before making a late trip over. I like that their sourdough isn't too sharp and tangy like what you'd get from the pier in San Fransisco. These bagels have the classic dark crust with soft, chewy interior. They generally have 7 different bagel flavors available daily with a few on the menu rotating each week. The Salted Rosemary is hands down the best, my favorite! When I'm feeling a little sweet tooth, the French toast Crunch hits the spot, especially paired with the prepared-in-house Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese. Oooooo, delish! They also offer brewed coffee, housemade cold brew, and a variety of different ready-to-purchase beverages. There is bar counter seating as well as a cute window bench seat and additional patio tables out front. I appreciate that they considered the parking situation! You can snag a spot on the neighborhood street or there's plenty of parking at the church across the street. There is handicapped parking behind the shop.

There was already a line waiting outside but once the doors opened they moved through us quickly. I appreciated that a staff member was explaining the process to the entire line while we were waiting. When you come in you walk past the register to the end of the counter and order your bagels down there. Then you will move to the register, and you can grab your own cream cheese out of the fridge by the register. I just got a salted rosemary bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagel was to die for! Hot and fresh and perfectly crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside. The chive cream cheese paired well with my bagel choice. Didn't get a picture of the bagel because I couldn't wait to eat it. Can't wait to come back!

They charge you extra for it and don't put extra cream cheese. I will provide a picture. If I didn't ask for "extra" would they even put cream cheese on the bagel at all? Pathetic. 3 times in a row. robbed of my money. And I will include another picture of an everything bagel, plain cream cheese, extra cream cheese. "Add a disgusting amount of cream cheese" I'm unsure how I can be more clear.

First off, $3.59 for a tiny simply lemonade is ridiculous. Truly unbelievable. But that's only where it begins. The person who took the order doesn't speak English so my order was submitted wrong. Why would you hire someone who isn't fluent in English to take orders? Then the manager was unpleasantly aggressive towards the chef who was trying to make things right. But not before giving me a dirty look for having to ask the non-English speaking staff to repeat herself as well as telling her I can't understand what she was trying to say. Chef remade my sandwich as I wanted but between the price gouging unpleasant managerial aggression and non English speaking staff submitting orders wrong. I'm out.

I didn't have high hopes that mine would come out looking as beautiful as what the website showed though. I placed my order online and walked about 10 mins to the restaurant from my hotel. When I got there I told them I placed the order and they confirmed it was being made and they would bring it out when ready. I grabbed a seat and within a few minutes it came out, piping hot. When I opened the box, it looked AMAZING! Smelled so very appetizing too! The strings of cheese pulling off it when I pulled a slice were abundant too! It tasted GREAT! I felt like it looked better than the website!! Service was decent. Their menu is large and loaded with so many tasty looking options. Plenty of seating inside too. Definitely would come back!

Just a pickup order and it was ready when I got down there staff was friendly on pickup. They gave breakfast pizza slices ready in the morning as well I saw.

FOREVER DONE with all Bruegger's after today…read more Stopped in this morning on my way to donate blood and ordered breakfast and lunch for later. I used my pre-loaded account and was charged TWICE for my order by a 65 year old man making food who had black, nasty, dirty fingernails. Gross . It legit looked like he hadn't washed his hands in a week. Had I seen them before I ordered and paid, I would have walked out and gone somewhere else. Regretfully I wish I had done that regardless. I had $61 on my Bruegger's account and after ordering 3 sandwiches and scanning my barcode, they told me I still owed them $23. Nooooo. So wrong. Three sandwiches DO NOT cost more than $61. Thats ridiculous. No common sense from these employees. That's when they charged me twice for the same order. Great. Completely incompetent. They had to call the manager Steve in, who sorta fixed the issue but short changed me. I didn't notice that until I got home. But he had another woman make my order while he worked on refunding me (incorrectly) and I was focused on that. I didn't want dirty fingernails making my food. ICK! Also, I always order the herby turkey with extra tomato spread, which they charge extra for. Fine, whatever. But I just sat down to enjoy the herby turkey. There is ZERO TOMATO SPREAD ON HERE WHATSOEVER. Charged me extra for it, charged me TWICE for it... and there is not one drop of tomato spread on this sandwich at all. Lovely How difficult is it to follow simple directions? To wash your hands while preparing someone else's food? To train your staff how to operate a register without screwing customers out of their own money? And to get one straight forward order correct, especially when the customer PAID MORE for it?! Absolutely PATHETIC. Brueggers should be ashamed. Every time I stop here regardless of the location, my order is never correct. Not once. The staff is less than competent and don't know what the hell they're doing. I'm trying to get rid of the balance on my account so I can done with them for good. Bruegger's used to be packed all the time with customers. It wasn't today. Like not at all. I can easily see why. When you screw customers out of their money, can't follow simple instructions and never get their order right, you're heading for locations to close permanently. And truthfully, I'd be happy to see this franchise close. They can't seem to do anything right. Their management doesn't care either and never answers the phone or calls back. Omaha, you want delicious bagels with a friendly, intelligent staff? BAGEL BIN! They're local with great owners. They'll be getting my business from now on.

Stopped in for brunch on a Saturday around 11am and waited about 25 minutes for a table. I didn't mind the wait, because they take your phone number and text you when your table is ready, so we were able to walk around countryside plaza during our wait. Our food hit the spot!!! I got the cali club which always blows me away. The fresh croissant from le quart is the cherry on top of an excellent sandwich. I usually stay away from breakfast sandwiches at restaurants in favor of other options, but will always make an exception here. My husband got the chorizo burrito- I'm not personally a fan of rice in a breakfast burrito so I wouldn't order it myself, but nonetheless it was still pretty good. I loved that they offer local hot sauces from volcanic peppers on the side. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She was very busy but always kept an eye on us and refilled our drinks multiple times without us having to ask. Overall, it's a classic, highly recommended Omaha brunch spot for a reason. Will never say no to coming here.

The baristas there are incredibly kind and took the time to spark conversation with me, making me feel welcomed. One example was how Olivia (one of the baristas there) would ask me how my work was coming along with my dissertation and took interest in it! How cool is that?! She found it fascinating and remembered all that about me and it made me feel seen and felt like I had a home there. Every time I entered those doors, my spirits were lifted with encouragement and motivation accompanied by the scent of amazing coffee. Rarely do I find a place that I would regularly visit, however, this place is one of those hidden gems that is built upon the awesome people who work there. I would highly recommend stopping by here to see for yourself.

My hot flat white with oat milk was awesome. It was the perfect temperature and size. This place is very cozy and personable. I can tell the staff gets to know the customers very well.

Depending if you come during the morning rush it may be a bit noisier but there are plenty of tables to sit at. Roast has the best chai in Aksarben, quality and price! They do up-charge for milk substitutes but the already great prices don't even make me flinch at the increase for oat milk. Well worth it! Their coffees are great and their espresso is a darker roast and nuttier but occasionally when I need more of a boost, I get a dirty chai and it's been my new morning addiction! Give it a stop if you're in the area and a coffee/tea lover.

I noticed as I kept going he would be increasingly irritated. One day he finally told me to call ahead for deli orders. I called ahead and he quoted 3 hours for 1.5 lbs of meat. I wandered around then after 2 hours I thought this is ridiculous and called to cancel my order. Not long after I got about 10 missed called from the store...it was scary to be honest. I didn't even want to listen to the messages. I avoided going there for months but my son loves the fresh bread and meat so I went back. I didn't call because I didn't want to wait 3 hours. I'm sure he recognized me because another customer came in to order deli meat and he loudly said "IT'LL BE AWHILE BECAUSE THAT CUSTOMER DIDN'T CALL IN EITHER". I don't understand why he makes paying customers feel uncomfortable for ordering deli when there's literally a deli counter there. If you don't like it make prepackaged items to go, or get more staff. But don't take it out on the customer for doing something every other deli will do normally. I'm bummed to say I won't be coming here again. There's another deli out west called Casanovas where the owner is much nicer and doesn't mind slicing deli meat to order. It's worth the trip.
