    I was looking for something different for breakfast and decided on a bagel. I ordered the double stack. It was double bacon, egg and cheese. It was served hot. Some places I've gotten cold to warm bagels. This was really good. Everything is made fresh. The service was excellent. I will return.

    Smoked Salmon Sandwich
    David B.

    No place better to get some amazing breakfast food, especially with the way they load their bagels up! I always go for the smoked salmon cream cheese with extras and it's honestly a weekly staple. They've got plenty of seating around the area to get some schoolwork/work done as well, and the staff up front are really kind! Nice chill place to hang out and enjoy some good food.

    Farmhouse Sandwich and Flavored Cold Brew
    Jessica M.

    Not bad! I asked a staff member which sandwich they recommend and they said the Farmhouse. Honestly, I really like it. The creamy and salty ingredients were a great combo, I also love that it comes in a cheddar bagel and toasted to perfection. I also tried their vanilla cold brew which I am obsessed with. It's such a good cold brew, again for some reason, I love the creaminess. I tried their caramel cold brew before and it was alright so this was a really great alternative!

    This was my first visit, and the best part was how incredibly soft and flavorful the bagels and cream cheeses were! Between the jalapeño cheddar and the jalapeño bagels, I greatly preferred the jalapeño bagel for its softness and being less thick. I also tried the jalapeño cream cheese, the onion & chives cream cheese, and the garlic & herbs cream cheese, and my favorite was the onion & chives as it had the most distinct flavor, although I wish the garlic & herbs one would've had a stronger taste as it seemed like it would taste better... the jalapeño cream cheese wasn't very flavorful, but still a very good cream cheese base. The disappointing aspect was the customer experience, to put it broadly. The man who was taking my order made me repeat the bagels I wanted twice, and the cream cheeses I wanted three times. I felt like the third time he asked me about my cream cheeses, he knew what I wanted but he just wanted to mock me like he wasn't going to be penalized for it and wanted to have some cheap fun. The lady ringing me up was okay but didn't make an effort to give outstanding customer service. Also, I had to get my own utensils and napkins after finding where they are myself, without any acknowledgement or direction from their part. Additionally, the cream cheeses all came in the same, clear, cheap plastic containers and I couldn't differentiate amongst them unless I opened them up and sniffed them. All in all, the customer experience was really cheap and low-effort. The ambiance of the establishment was relaxed with a lower standard of expectations from the customers, but thankfully the store was largely clean. If the staff had prioritized being friendly, smiling, and guiding customers to the utensils and napkins, I would've been okay with the cheap cream cheese containers. Hopefully the management takes this seriously and takes the human interaction component of dining up a notch or two - be happy and friendly, the food is great!

    Sad Bagel

    Staff is nice, but bagels are like pancakes and cream cheese has no taste. East Coast is so much better.

    Salmon Bagel Sandwhich

    Overall good bagels, especially their salmon lox sandwich bagel! Solid choice for breakfast!

    I've ordered at Bruegger's a few times at this location. They are conveniently located in the HMart plaza so there's tons of parking. This location is in the corner and offers indoor seating. I've always ordered and left. Customer service is inconsistent-some days they are approachable and friendly, some days they're not. Food is always amazing here, always made the same. My fave and go to is the farmhouse.

    Sriracha Honey Sunrise Sandwich

    Great service! They were very friendly, and I only waited like 3-5 min for my food. I got the Sriracha Honey Sunrise and it hit the spottt. *chef's kiss*

    First time coming here. I order their farmhouse, style bagel sandwich on top of an everything bagel. Everything was made fresh and cooked order. I didn't like how my bagels were toasted to the level of burnt. The fried egg in the middle was fine. The peppered egg was also salty. Staff and service was Ok. I didn't like how the staff was preparing my bagel and then still chatting with another staff member. I'll come back again but probably to get a traditional bagel and cream cheese spread instead.

I usually grab a breakfast bagel sandwich and it never misses. Bread is fresh, not stale, not overly toasted. Perfect balance. Eggs cooked right. Cheese melted clean. Meat seasoned how it's supposed to be. It's simple food done at a high level, and that's what matters. Then the donut holes... different level. Warm, soft, not greasy. Just enough sweetness. You grab one and end up finishing the whole bag without even thinking. That's how you know they're dangerous. Fresh squeezed orange juice too. Not from a carton. Not watered down. Real citrus, real flavor. It actually tastes alive. The energy in there early morning is solid. No chaos. No lazy service. Just people working and moving with purpose. That's my type of environment. This is the kind of spot that sets the tone for the whole day. You start your morning here, you're already up one. Easy 9 out of 10. Consistent. Early. Certified.

Came in, I didn't realize two people were just fixing their coffee. She didn't bother to say "good morning or I'll be with you in a moment" walked to the back and had someone else come out and take my order. He was nice and had great customer service but interactions with the front of house was not it. She then walks out with a tray of donuts and greets other customers walking in. And this isn't the first time, I've had a sour experience with her. I would come back, however I feel like I'm not a customer she likes to help. That alone makes me want to take my business elsewhere.

    Online Ordering System Needs Attention…read more I'm leaving this review because this has now happened multiple times and it's clearly not a one-off issue. Every time I place an order through the online ordering system, it provides a specific pickup time. However, when I arrive at that time, the order is almost never ready. Instead, I'm told it will be another 10-30 minutes. At that point, the pickup time in the system becomes meaningless and defeats the entire purpose of ordering ahead. To be fair, the bagels themselves are good, which is the reason I've continued coming back. But the online ordering timing is consistently inaccurate and needs attention. From what I can see, it often feels like the order isn't even started until I arrive. The staff is clearly busy, but the workflow and prioritization of online orders doesn't seem to be managed well. The team often appears rushed and working reactively rather than following a clear process. This feels like a management and operations issue rather than a problem with the employees themselves. If the kitchen is running behind, the system should reflect realistic pickup times so customers can plan accordingly. I'm hoping management sees this feedback and looks into the process. The food is good, but the ordering system and execution need improvement. If this gets addressed, I'd gladly update my review.
