Nadia M.

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.

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.

Sausage bacon egg and cheese bagel on a vermont bagel
Jimmy P.

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

Farmhouse Egg Sandwich
Jess R.

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.

Smoked Salmon Sandwich, Egg, Sausage & Cheese Sandwich, build your own sandwich
Katie N.

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.

Sriracha Honey Sunrise Sandwich
Will S.

I want to recognize John & Mabel. They are always friendly, smiling and eager to assist. The food is always fresh... GOOD FOOD, GOOD DRINK (COFFEE) & GOOD PEOPLE is always a plus for me. We got the Honey Sriracha

Western Brisket Sandwich
Khanh Linh H.

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.

Niharika G.

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

Untoasted bagel with virtually no cream cheese
Connor H.

I never leave reviews, this location is very hit or miss. Just got home with my pick up order and all 4 bagels are dry with almost no cream cheese and none are toasted like I asked for. Super disappointed

Syd G.

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!

I move early. If a breakfast spot can hit between 4 and 6 AM, that already tells you something…read more While most places are half asleep, this spot is on point. 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.

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.

Repeated it twice and she still got it down wrong. My name isn't that hard. How do you get Tajin (tah-gin) from Sunny??? At least repeat the name back to me so that I can correct you. I sat there waiting for my bagel but they never called my name (they kept repeating Tajin). On top of that, the staff calling out the names was so quiet you could barely hear him. I went up to the counter to get an update on my bagel, and they asked for my name and order. They realized they put in the wrong name, didn't apologize, and gave me the cold bagel that was sitting there, without offering to reheat or remake it. To make things worse, the bagel was soggy and there were eggshells in the egg. Robert, I know you don't care what customers have to say on here. I know you copy and paste your responses. And don't worry, I will be visiting www.einsteinbros.com/contact/.
