Got the lil piggy (bacon, egg sausage) on an everything bagel. It was delicious but prefer the exterior of the bagel to be more crispy. I also bought their jalapeno cream cheese. It is a whipped cream cheese that is fantastic (mild to medium heat). There are three tables and a small counter area which weren't very crowded if you want to eat there

The place was bustling, all seats taken, people standing waiting on their order, and others dashing in for their carry out orders. There's good reason for that, the food, the coffee, the service, the vibe was all excellent. Inside is clean, simply decorated, and everything from the food to the kitchen is visible. It's simply part of the decor. We purchased some bagels from the previous day, some breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The coffee was bold, rich and fresh. The bagels delicious, all of the sandwich parts cooked to perfection. There's a friendly, warm vibe inside that extends from the staff and is entrenched in the food and coffee. Just a fantastic place for bagels and, I have to admit, NY bagels are next level. If you're in Syracuse, I highly recommend you make sure you make Water Street Bagel one of your stops.

I asked to sub the bacon for egg, and it was just a "no bacon" modifier and then add egg for extra, which I thought it would be a substitution :( It was good, I thought it would be warmer it was wrapped in aluminum foil but it was pretty cold. Definitely could use more salt. Idk overall a little underwhelming but I would definitely come back to this place to try something else Service was great as always, they were really busy so we had to wait outside

Fantastic First Experience!…read more This was my first time visiting Bruegger's Bagels, and I was immediately welcomed by the sound of staff laughing and smiling - such a warm and inviting atmosphere to walk into! I mentioned that, for religious reasons, I needed to ensure nothing that touched pork came in contact with my food, and the staff was incredibly understanding and accommodating - not every place is like that, and I truly appreciated their kindness. I ordered an everything bagel with strawberry cream cheese, and it was absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be stopping by more often. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the friendly service!

Auburn Bagel Co. made its debut in downtown Auburn in 2025, introducing New York City-style bagels…read moreto the area with a wide array of fresh handmade bagels that include flavors like poppy, sesame, whole wheat, pumpernickel and more. Owner Tony Daddabbo, an Auburn native, honed his bagel-making skills in New York City at the popular "Columbia Bagel" just a few blocks from Columbia University. Daddabbo said the key to making an authentic New York City-style bagel is to keep it simple and fresh, using five simple ingredients: Water, yeast barley malt, syrup, salt and flour. Wife and I recently stopped into Auburn Bagel company to grab a quick bite before running some chores. It was around 1030AM on a Sunday, and there were already plenty of customers dining or ordering. We looked at the menu and my wife decided on a Bagel Weck sandwich on pumpernickel - roast beef, creamy horseradish and a side of aus jus for dipping, while I chose a chicken parm sandwich on a garlic bagel. The line to order moved quickly, employees were friendly, and our food was made relatively quickly, and we enjoyed our food - my only complaint was my bagel was a bit too toasted and crispy for my liking, but that's all preference and there was nothing wrong with the sandwich itself. We did think it was a tad pricey (over $12 for each for a bagel sandwich), but they were a decent size and were filling. We'd definitely return.

The maple syrup is actually real maple syrup also. The food was good as it usually is. Price is average to above, but you get what you pay for so it's worth it. The service today was quite slow, even though I ordered ahead I waited in line behind only 2 people for over 10 minutes. I'm assuming they're short staffed so I get it but hope they can get some help because if they were busy there would be some very upset customers. The inside is nice and relaxing with a smaller amount of seating, and the store appeared cleaned and organized. The lady whom I believe is the owner brought my food out and was polite. Service is an issue everywhere with the lack of help so I'm not letting that play much part in my review as sometimes the management just can't help they're short staffed and I hope others take this in account. Will continue to return here! Make sure you get your coffee punch card also!
