Very good smoked salmon bagel. I work right across the street and in my 5 years here, I never checked them out until today. Super friendly staff, and very fast service. Downside is the price but that comes with the area. Definitely would come back the next time i'm in the mood for a smoked salmon sandwich. read more

After charging my vehicle at the Spectrum, I decided to pick up breakfast First time trying Brueggers and the the Sriracha Honey sandwich was what I went with, The employee that took my order was nice and answered my questions and I had a couple. I was hoping for some sort of hash browns to go with the sandwich, but they had this puck looking potato thing so I tried that. The sandwich was ok, not bad. The potato puck thingy was blah. Had no flavor and it was just a reheated mush. I am interested in trying some of the other bagels and things they have. read more

Bruegger's Bagels - Iced vanilla coffee - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

Stopped by for breakfast in the AM, and got a bagel sandwich with a hot coffee. There were about 7 people in front of me, and it took about ten minutes to order and then another ten to receive my food with three people working. While it took a bit longer than I would've liked, coffee was hot and the bagel was soft and freshly baked with lots of cheese (cheesy hash brown bagel). Parking is a breeze and there are a lot of tables outdoor to enjoy your food at. read more

I've been back here a few times since now working in the area. This morning I went into the office extra early and Bruegger's was open at 5:45 am when I stopped in. It's nice having an option other than just Starbucks to grab a quick breakfast on the go. Service was quick and friendly and I was in and out in under 5 min. read more

Well run location. Fresh ingredients. Solid breakfast. The male manager at this location is top notch. Great customer service by him, and he models servant leadership to his team. He's the one I see wiping the tables, straightening chairs, stocking, etc. Adequate seating and plentiful parking. read more

High priced Small bagels with nasty cream cheese that has a weird smell and an oddly sweet taste. Drive the extra 5/10 minutes to an actual bagel place. read more

They don't make them like they used to! I don't know if Bruegger's bagels has changed the recipe or maybe they were just too busy but our dozen bagels just weren't the same as they used to be. read more

The food here is quite good and the service is generally pretty fast. I think the only bad thing is the pricing. It's almost double that if you go somewhere else but I guess it is irvine? I usually see 7 or 10 people eating here between breakfast and lunch time not too crazy long of a wait at all. I usually stop by when I'm in the area for a quick breakfast but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here read more

Bruegger's Bagels - Sausage bacon egg and cheese bagel on a vermont bagel - Bagels Near Me - Irvine, California

Really hope these employees are paid well with how expensive these sandwiches are. Feels a lot like a subway inside which was kind of off putting at 7am. $11.69 for a single egg bagel sandwich is kind of crazy, especially when competition nearby offers a similar sandwich on a fresh bagel for $7.39. Very kind staff, just not worth price for meh breakfast bagel. read more

I placed a large catering order and it was ready right on time. I also had some additions sandwiches to add for some last minute additions to my meeting and they were able to accommodate no problem. The manager was so sweet helping me to my car with everything and like always, the bagels were sooooo yummy. Thank you team for such a great and easy experience read more

After passing by multiple times, my two friends and I decided to give it a try. Sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich: This was not the best bagel sandwich I've had and it left me hungry with its small portions for the hefty price I paid. The sausage and egg were thin. The cheese was barely included. Since it was around noon, they ran out of a majority of the bagels to choose from for sandwiches which is expected. Service: The employees were very friendly and made the store lively. However, the SAME knife was used to cut all THREE of me and my friends' sandwiches. This is a clear sign of CROSS CONTAMINATION! Ambiance: There were many tables inside and outside for customers to pick from. The store was well kept and the soda station was clean. Overall, this bagel spot is not worth the price. read more

this location specifically down the street from spectrum, went in 10 am when there was only two other people there, who already had ordered. the lady who was helping my friend and i asked what we wanted, asked for a jalepeno bagel slightly toasted, and she did so, but she just smeared on normal cream cheese after i asked for the jalepeno cream cheese and packs the bagel up right away and gives it to her coworker. they rushed, didn't ask if we wanted more or anything. we left due to the rushing of while no one else was ordering and the attitude. read more

After the 3rd time of getting a specialty sandwhich without the cream cheese or spread inside the sandwich is frustrating in my opinion it's the best part of the sandwich it doesn't make it dry. This is my go to spot for last minute breakfast because it's close to work but now I can't wait for the other establishments opening next to them for future breakfasts read more

Cool , friendly spot , service was quick , good variety of bagels and choices to fill . They do lunch as well , coffee and bottled juices and drinks . read more

I enjoy the bagels, but the prices are a tad high. The service is fast, but there is a lack of energy from the employees. They just don't seem happy. The location is clean and the food quality is good. read more

Mabel is extremely rude. No smile and appeared bothered that my team took time to decide on bagel type.

My staff and I love combing here for bagels! It is so fresh, so clean, and SOOOO GOOD! Your whole staff will love this spot as well!

One word that describes this place: Chaotic. In an irvine plaza, I will say this place only gets three stars because the service is very poor. They are very busy, and not only do they mix up orders (they gave me the wrong bag at first, which I checked in the car), but they also take forever (up to 30 minutes) to give you your bagel order. That being said, they do have good breakfast sandwiches. One I recommend that is simply, yet classic: Honey Sriracha Egg Sandwich. It's one egg with a honey siracha sauce on an everything bagel read more

I got the Western Brisket Sandwich and had the female employee who was helping me pick out a bagel for me. She was very nice; the service is fast. The bagels here are on the thinner side. Overall, the sandwich is pretty good. Wish there was a bit more brisket and I would be willing to pay more, but for $9.99 you really can't complain. Not somewhere you'd go out of your way to eat at, but overall a good breakfast spot if you happen to already be in the plaza. read more

What a great place. Who doesn't love bagels. Came in here early Sunday morning. Since we were staying across the street in a hotel I relied on my fellow Yelpers. Lots of good reviews here. Y'all didn't disappoint. Great customer service. Greeted me when I walked in and so friendly. Made my bagel sandwiches and fresh hot coffee. We had two egg sandwich breakfast bagels and those things were still hot when I got back to the hotel. Tasted even better! Awesome job guys! read more

Let's start with the drink. This chiller put a smile to my face early in the morning. I would definitely get this drink any time of day as a morning pick me upper or in the mid day slump or fancying a nice dessert. Delish! Got my bagel to go and it came in a brown lunch bag with my name in it just like in the good old days. How cute. I got the Santa Fe bagel, omitted the cheese and onion, added sausage and cucumbers. So so good. I would probably just have a packet of ketchup on the side but even with out it, the sauce it comes with in the bagel gives it a nice kick. Yup, when I'm back in the area, I'll be sure to dive into the other items on their menu! read more

I came here with my team for breakfast on a Friday around 9am. It was not too crowded. It was also our first time here so we were looking at the menu. A few breakfast bagel sandwiches caught our eye and the coffee. So we made line and ordering was very easy, you just tell the employee which sandwich you would like. I ordered the Farmhouse. At first it was very difficult to decide which breakfast sandwich I wanted to get but the farmhouse was a sandwich that really sounded delicious. And the best part is that when I receive the sandwich and I opened it it looked so amazing that I started to drool. Once you see the picture that I posted for this you will also drool. They also have these very small hashbrowns that look like muffins. At first I thought it was a muffin but it is a hash brown. The coffee that I had was a cooler, it is coffee that they make already, and it is an iced coffee mixed with vanilla. It is 100% super delicious. And the price is decent for what it is. I am definitely coming back here with my team and we are going to order a little bit of everything and try something different and definitely will get another coffee, that cooler that was a mixup vanilla. That was literally such a great coffee! read more

Each time I've stopped by this location (and others), workers seemed unwelcoming and disgruntled. So, I stopped giving them my business and switched to another local bagel shop with better service and menu choices. Lately my company has been ordering bagels from this location for delivery every Friday and on MULTIPLE occasions they forgot the cream cheese. Shady, if you ask me. Either their managers have to hire better employees, or corporate needs to hire better managers because this customer service model is a joke. Or maybe just wait til this place goes out of business altogether. Management needs to stop copying and pasting excuses onto their negative reviews and take action on what's causing them. SMH. read more

Everything is great about this place except the price, but I can't blame that on the employees and the fantastic food that they make the price is disgusting but I still give this place a five stars because they have the most delicious breakfast and lunch sandwich on bagels. read more

Honestly I'm surprised! With all the negative reviews, I was a bit skeptical. But my best friend highly spoke of this place and I happened to be craving bagels, so we stopped by for lunch after class. This location wasn't too busy (I bet it's more crowded in the morning), but I'm glad cause it was super peaceful and the service was fast; we were in and out within 3-4 minutes! The workers making the bagels were fast and efficient and I believe that John checked us out. He was so nice and sweet and made light conversation with me and my friend, which is always great (coming from a person who also works in the service industry). There's also a nice shady area outside filled with open tables and seats (since it's near a business area) which is always a plus. The bagel I got was the brisket egg sandwich which was superb. I saw some people in prior reviews complaining about the texture of the cream cheese, but I personally loved it! The flavor was great, there were some bits of bell peppers (I believe) in the cream cheese, and the overall "bite" of the sandwich was phenomenal. I was so famished and it really hit the spot. I also got the iced cooler coffee, which is like an iced coffee with milk and maybe a vanilla syrup. It's not mind blowing but it's still good coffee and I was satisfied. I also bought a hash brown and truth be told it's not anything to write home about but the bagels are the star (as they should be). Anyways, I'll be coming back and despite the comments you should really give this place a try!! Brisket House Egg Bagel Sandwich: 9/10 - bagel texture is great and the cream cheese flavor was phenomenal -brisket wasn't bad (not mind blowing and not much flavor but it still worked with the sandwich) Hash-browns: 4/10 - when I think of hash-browns, I think of crispy grated potatoes with a fluffy inside. I don't really care about the shape as long as it's good - the best way I can describe their hash-browns is like instant mashed potatoes mixed with cheddar cheese and baked in muffin tins - it's soft, not crispy at all, and the flavor was bland/not good but it's a bagel place and the bagels were again the star, so I'll base my review solely on that Iced Cooler Coffee: 6/10 - not bad, it was a little watered down in flavor (not strong coffee essence) but it left me satisfied read more

Impressed with the bagel sandwich. A coworker recommended this place and since I have only tried a bagel sandwich once before somewhere else, I wanted to try it again. I ordered the Western Brisket sandwich and it was delicious. I expected the bagel to be dense but the cheese bagel was actually soft and fluffy. The brisket was good with the peppers. This place is convenient and I would come back again for another lunch. read more

I never have been here, but stopped today and had one of the best dark roast cups of coffee anywhere. Really good!

Horrible customer service. Not at all like a normal Bruegger's. First person never looked up to even acknowledge someone is standing there for help. Second person same thing. Lady at the cash register was nice but the senior citizen cut her off to tell me I should have waited for the 1st guy and proceeded to argue with me about how long I had been standing there waiting. They sent me back to the beginning of the line and the cashier had me repeat the order I just gave her as though my first time didn't count because I was at the checkout. Never going again and I just moved by it. Brueggers need to send a secret shopper. Sunday should be a hug day and other than me, there were two couples sitting outside. Place was dead. Guess why?!!! read more

Staff are so rude. I was there this morning the new girl doesn't know how to make simple egg and cheese sandwich and when I made a comment about my sandwich the other girl started to give me a look and tease me. Finally the tall girl jumped in and apologized for that and treat us for free breakfast sandwich but I won't go there anyway. This was the place I was going every Saturday but since I don't want challenge on my weekend morning I am not going there anymore. That rude girl need to be trained. Managemet need to train their staff first on how to make sandwiches and for sure how to treat customers, with these girls they will lose their frequent customers soon. read more

Solid place for bagels. Their farmhouse is excellent and the peppercorn gives it a nice kick. Their lines are long in the am but runs efficiently. The restaurant is small so the seating is somewhat limited but there is a lot of outside seating as well so this is usually not a problem. read more

Not the friendliest or professional ladies that work here. When i notified them my order was incorrect... i ordered the Everything bagel not the plain, she replied and said " that is an everything bagel, theres just not a lot of seeds on that one". She did not want to make me a new bagel, someone else had to step in to make it. I love Bruegger's bagels so i would recommend driving further to the other locations. read more
