I love Bruegger's bagels for a delicious breakfast. I always get the cheddar bacon or the smoked salmon. Everything here is yummy. Also, the employees are so sweet.

The food is just…meh. I would not go back. Both times I went, the menu and the pictures of the food look fantastic, but the flavor just isn’t there.

Terrible management. Over 3 hrs until they close and they were all out of savory bagels. However you can clearly see they were sitting behind the counter ready to go in the bins. I politely asked if I could have one. The poor guy had to say no. He apologized and said I know they are there but my manager said we couldn’t use them. I ordered a plain and he discreetly tried to ask her again and she said no with no explanation. I know he was trying to help. Honestly, if they were for something else I get it but why leave them in plain view? The bagel was barely toasted and meh. Won’t be back. Can’t compare to Manhattan bagel.

The parking here is terrible—you basically have to be a local to walk up to this bagel shop. I worked with Cato and Neyda, and both were extremely rude. Neither acknowledged me when I arrived. Even though I was clearly there first, they ignored me and chose to serve the people who came after me.
Cato was the worst offender. She saw me standing there first but decided to help others just because they happened to be on the “right” side of the line. I had to risk an illegal parking spot just to grab breakfast, and after all that effort, I still couldn’t expect even basic customer service.
Meanwhile, Neyda just stood at the register making drinks. She refused to adapt or step in to help. If a customer comes directly to her for a bagel, she should be flexible enough to grab it—but instead, she left all the bagel duty to Cato. That created tension, because Cato clearly resented carrying the entire burden. Neyda acted like she was incapable of multitasking, and when I asked why, she said she didn’t want to get yelled at by Cato. But the truth is, Cato wasn’t supervising well at all. If she had any sense, she would’ve let Neyda help with the bagels to speed up the line.
This place desperately needs staff who know how to do everything—register, drinks, bagels, food. Multitasking is essential, but right now, neither of them can handle it.
