Ordered a cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and toasted . It was fresh and tasty. They had 15 different types of bagels to choose from. It was $4.83 for that item. They also make breakfast sandwiches and burgers too. The atmosphere is casual- self service. read more

Not sure if I'll be coming back here. My pumpkin coffee didn't have any pumpkin flavor. The eggs were visibly burnt. I do have to say the bagel itself tasted very good. The workers were also very nice. read more

I think it's very obvious that they don't understand what food allergy means when you start asking questions about particular items in their restaurant. I'm an avid restaurant goer and customer service and product is very important especially now when so many people are suffering from food allergy and illness because of food that is being sold, served and bought. When you see, somebody rolled their eyes when you ask them a question and they have a problem answering it that speaks volumes. It's unfortunate. It's a cute little place and they even accept dogs on their patio. Unfortunately, they can keep their attitude along with their food. read more

The bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel with AMAZING! I have never had a sandwich with scrambled egg (inconvenience at other places). The coffee was ok, the prices were a bit high for pretty much everything Atmosphere was great, relaxing clean "artsy" feeling to it. A mix between Panera and Barns & Noble read more

The first time I came here was years ago. I remember I really enjoyed the veggie panini and side of Brussels. I've since ordered breakfast a couple of times with my husband via DoorDash. I had the pancakes with a pineapple coconut smoothie, while my husband tried the corned beef hash omelet wrap. We both liked our choices. More recently, we both tried breakfast bagel sandwiches - mine was with sausage and his was with bacon - plus a side of home fries. The sandwiches were bulky and flavorful. Typically I like some crunch to my home fries, but these were well seasoned that it was fine without it. I plan on ordering from Brew Bakers again! read more

I ordered a corn muffin. They offered to grill it which was nice. But the paper muffin liner was baked into the muffin and could not be taken off. I could either eat the paper or not eat the bottom half of the muffin. Very sad. read more

Great egg sandwiches. The place is always packed so be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes for your order. Coffee is pretty good. The customer service is good for the most part. Nice ambiance if you are able to get a table. We typically just grab food to go when we are in route to an event or whatever. Unless you are there super early, they are usually out of the popular bagel flavors. It's rare that we get there in time for an everything bagel. I do enjoy the cheddar bagels though. It's overall a nice place to grab a quick-ish bite. read more

Brew Bakers is a wonderful place. As a student at wesleyan, Ill grab an early morning coffee before class, or study there on sunday mornings. The vibe is lively, there is a ton of natural light and the bright yellow walls and art is just great. Furthermore, The staff is so considerate and nice. They check in on us and I dont make me feel bad for staying so long. They even remembered me! Lotss of love to this great place. read more

Ordered the special Caprese with prosciutto and VERY DISAPPOINTED especially for the $13 they charged me. This sandwich has 1 slice of prosciutto and is not what anyone would consider a grinder. It's more like a bite size sandwhich. Be cautious as you'll be over paying for minimal amount of food. read more

This is the best bagel store in Middletown. They now allow you to buy a dozen bagels on a Saturday morning which is a huge improvement!

I have been dining at Brew Bakers for a while now. Excellent menu and service. While prices have gone up recently, that is happening everywhere. Brew Bakers is one of the few places I eat regularly because the higher price is genuinely worth paying. Breakfast sandwiches and most of their menu are well prepared and served as generous portions. Food quality, preparation and service is great. Daily specials are slightly more reasonable priced. Don't miss the opportunity to try the Goulash if you're lucky to time it right when it's on the menu. I rarely eat red meat and Brew Bakers is the only place where I will have Goulash. Amazing. read more

For me, coffee is the first and most important item a restaurant coffee shop needs to get right, and Brew Bakers nails it. I liked it so much I asked about the beans, and they use a local, family owned roaster and they source their coffee daily. I had not been back to Middletown for some time, but remembered how good the food was at this family owned and run restaurant. I had the Bratwurst with homemade sauerkraut and potato salad and it was perfect. The soup of the day was bean and bacon, and it was chock full of bacon and fresh vegetables - perfect for a winter day. Prices are very moderate and the staff was friendly and cheerful - highly recommended! read more

Brew Bakers is located on Main Street in Middletown and is a place I love to go to, especially for breakfast on the weekends. The bagels here come in a variety of different varieties and are all baked fresh. I usually get their egg or plain bagels. I love how their bagels are crisp on tbd outside, but nice and chewy inside. They apply the cream cheese well, too. They have indoor and outdoor seating here, which is nice. You can eat outside under their umbrellas facing Main Street or at their tables in Middletown Plaza. The staff here is all very friendly. Great cashiers and servers, who drop food off at your table. Altogether, Brew Bakers is a great place to go for a bite to eat in Middletown! read more

Solid option on Main Street. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and everything tasted good. Was a bit disappointed that the greens seemed to be ye ole standard lettuce from a bag at a $14 price point. I wouldn't recommend this place but would go back if a friend asked. Staff was friendly and nice atmosphere. Parking can be annoying pending on the time of day and expect to pay a few dollars as well (out of the restaurants control). read more

I'm not sure why there's such low ratings but I had a nice breakfast here. I ordered the cheddar bagel with sausage egg and cheese which was so delicious. Their menu had a lot of options from various flavors of bagels and coffee drinks. I would definitely come back if I'm in town for a breakfast sandwich. The service was fast also! My sandwich came piping hot as well. read more

My niece and I love this place! The staff are nice and it's wonderful to sit outside during the warm months. It's warm & inviting during the cold months, too. The food is EXCELLENT. My vegetarian niece has no trouble finding things she can eat & I get something new every time I visit. It's all good. Love the coffee. Special mention to the indoor decor & music they play. Very charming & special compared to a typical cafe! I would go here every day if I could! read more

This place is right on the main strip in Middletown. With so many menu options it's almost overwhelming. It is the kind of place where you walk up and order at the register then sit down with a number and they drop it off at your table when you're done. The food is amazing and the prices match the quality. Cute outdoor seating too My wife got the buratta salad today and said it was the best salad of her life which means a lot coming from her. read more

i have never been treated so disrespectfully as i was today - we order from this establishment quite often - today was the worst experience ever - when i got back to my job i discovered my sandwich was missing from my order so i had to make a special trip back during my lunch break to get the remainder of my order - the girls were rude, the manager was a joke and very nasty to me, another man was so disrespectful to me looked right at me and said "the answer is NO" - i felt belittled and embarrassed - at first the "manager" told me he would give me my sandwich for free because of the inconvenience then he changed his tune - told me that if i want my sandwich for free i have to give him back the sandwich - why would i make a special trip to the restaurant to get something that they forgot to put in my bag? - the manager agrued with me, i told him he just lost a lot of business - there were a lot of customers in the restaurant at this time and they all heard how i was treated this is not the first time that something has been wrong with my order - so from this point on - they will never get any business from us my review speaks for itself read more

They definitely gave me a better overall experience this year . I am glad to return to update my review. The employees working were fantastic and didn't rush my decision yet helped me out on what my tastebuds needed today . The place got a nice updated look and the menu. I couldn't decide ,so I created something. I got a egg bagel toasted with steak,egg,cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms. Five stars for this sandwich all perfectly cooked and delicious. My cousin went with a basic turkey sandwich on a croissant and she loved it. We shared a wonderful carrot cake dessert and I should have ordered the entire cake onsite it was phenomenal. I was tempted on getting more ,but was filled up after that . I will be back! read more

I'm giving this a great rating because the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. I don't know why some reviewers think it expensive when it is less than what some big coffee chains would charge for the same thing. This is a local small business owned by a PERSON, not a corporation. This popular place gets BUSY and the service is sometimes correspondingly slower, but I am ALWAYS happy with the food and the coffee. You can order off the menu or "build your own" breakfast sandwich. I've only ever been here for breakfast, not lunch. I've bought a dozen bagels with cream cheese options and brought to work and always get rave reviews from my colleagues on the bagels! Sitting outside on the patio on a nice day and watching the diverse clientele getting coffee. People are friendly and chatty. read more

Started coming here because I DoorDash... never knew about the place before then. I did a few deliveries and then I caved and bought a cheddar bagel (toasted w butter) and a coffee. Now, I visit to get bagels of the day quite frequently! Some reviewers say they are overpriced but, it is a privately owned business that makes EVERYTHING fresh. You can look at my pictures of the menus to see the pricing. One delivery I had for DoorDash ordered a Brew Boilermaker and I was like, "wow! What's that?!" It is Guinness marinated steak, roasted potato, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, and horseradish sauce in a garlic and herb wrap. What?!?! I had to try it! Got it without the onions since I am not a fan of those, it did not disappoint! It was so packed with steak and potatoes that I saved the other half for my lunch. The staff is always very friendly (even when I am a delivery) and I come back because of them... the coffee is always hot and bagels always yummy! You have to try this spot if you have not already. read more

Absolutely the best café around! 2-3 times per week, my faincé and I go down to Brew Bakers to get a drink and a breakfast sandwich. We love to bring the pups and sit outside! Mackenzie usually takes our order and is on top of everything! The owner is usually there and is always so polite! Let's talk about the breakfast sandwiches. There's a different "bagel of the day" every day and they are always so yummy! They come up with great ideas! Everything is always so fresh and comes out hot! The sausage egg and cheese or steak egg and cheese on the bagel of the day with chive cream cheese added is THE BEST. Prices are decent and it's definitely worth it! read more

Brew Bakers - Cream cheese bagel with cross contamination - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Anyone that lives in Middletown knows where you get the best bagels in town. Not only do they have the best bagels, but they also make a mean breakfast and a pretty awesome Cup of Joe. They're a breakfast and lunch establishment that also hosts special events and offers catering. Order at the counter for to-go or dine-in. If you stay, which I strongly suggest, you will be given a number to place on your table. You give your name at the counter, that will be called when your drink has been made. An employee will bring your meal to you. While you wait you can sit by the stove to keep warm in the colder months, or enjoy the art that is displayed all around the restaurant. While I will highly recommend any of their bagels with the chive cream cheese, there are so many more exciting things that you could try. The wraps are huge and filling. My favorite is the Tijuana it's stuffed with pulled pork, sweet potato hash, red peppers, corn, onions and cheddar. A close second is the Brew Boilermaker with Guinness marinated steak, roasted potato, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and horseradish sauce. Another option would be the omelet sandwiches. Carb conscious? Ask for the bread on the side. If you're not a morning person, don't worry, they do lunch too. There is something for everyone, ranging from salads and paninis to burgers and an Austrian Plate. Don't be afraid to bring the kids here. They are kid friendly. My son loves the place and their food. There's even a menu for the 12 and under crowd. read more

Love this little place! It feels like you're stepping into a whole other cozy world when you walk through the doors. Their cookies are amazing, the coffee is good quality for the price, and their bagel and lox is great!

This place could have potential to be better if maybe the way food and coffee are made were changed. Sad because the place itself has such a cute cafe feel. It seems to me the problem was the way everything tasted. Seems just very bland and boring. The egg sandwich was so dry and boring. As if I whipped it up at home quickly. The sweet potato were so soggy. Looked as if it had so much going on yet when you tasted it was so flavorless and disappointing. (Added salt and pepper to make it edible) Tried not one but two lattes and that was even a miss. The mocha latte was by far the worst I've tasted yet. I ended up giving that drink away and getting a caramel latte instead and even that was disappointing. read more

Only thing that keeps it from being a five is the speed. Other than that, this place is fabulous!

I did a trail race in nearby Hebron and just wanted a bacon, egg, & cheese bagel really badly. Was glad I found this place! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options, clean restrooms, & extensive menu for sandwiches and drinks. They weren't super busy for a Saturday morning. My food came out quickly. Everyone who works there was nice and friendly. Seems like they really care about their customers. The sandwich was pricey for a breakfast sandwich, but it was a nice treat post race. Great tasting and just what I wanted! read more

Went here for the first time and got a bacon egg and cheese w/ chipotle mayo on the spinach herb bagel and it was amazing. I also got a corn bagel with cream cheese which was also delicious. Fast service, I walked in around 10am on a Saturday and only waited about 5-7 minutes for both of my items. You can sit down to eat or take out (which I did) and it was great! read more

Ugh so disappointed with this place. I ordered the "veggie wrap" as a late snack before I headed to a wedding and was sad with what I got. It was basically a wrap with 98% lettuce and a huge slice of tomato enclosed with a smear of hummus. For $10 I felt scammed. I wouldn't have paid for it had I known what I was going to be receiving. read more

Brew Bakers - Veggie wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

I don't normally do this but I am giving a bad review of a good restaurant. The interior is adorable. Lots of color and artwork, but the menu is a bit difficult to read as it's located on the back wall with smaller type font. The exterior has cute tables to sit at for eating outside. All in all the environment makes this place great. Parking makes the location a nightmare. You have to pay and park on a diagonal, plus back out into traffic to leave. I recognize that this is an unavoidable part of being a restaurant in downtown Middletown but it still makes the experience negative. The wrap I ordered was a delicious spinach ricotta, but the veggies weren't cut up. Each bite made all the ingredients come pouring out and it just wasn't put together well. I'm impressed by how it tasted, but it was tiny and not worth the money. No sides or accents like a pickle. I also grabbed a Diet Coke, which was $2.50 and not worth the money. Sadly, my meal wasn't worth the hassle or money. read more

My wife and I, along with our two young children stopped here for a quick lunch after a raining day playing at kid city the children's museum right down the street. I got a roast beef sandwich, and the kids ate Fruit salad and bagels. The sandwich was way above average. The bread was warm and the cold cuts were cold. The horseradish mayo was excellent. The bagels were also very good. I would definitely suggest this as a quick bite place. All the other food I saw being served was rally appetizing too. read more

It is easy to have a cafe get lost in the business overload of Main Street but this is one to look out for. We have now gotten large take-out breakfast orders twice and been very pleased with both the quality and quantity of the food as well as the attention to detail by the staff. In both large orders, there were many with accommodations and revisions to standard sandwiches and wraps and each one was acknowledged and respected, which is not easy to come by no matter where you go. We were very pleased with this attention to detail. The food was also good and servings were large. Many of the wraps were big enough to split into two meals, in my opinion. Prices are a little high but for quality and size of portions, again, seems pretty fair. Ordering online was easy and pick-up was, as well. Highly recommend the corned beef and boilermaker wraps! Bagels were also delicious. My mother loved the cinnamon bagel with walnut raisin cream cheese in particular. read more
