The food was fine. I ordered an avacado, egg white, bacon, tomato, on a cheddar jalapeno. I didn't realize that sundried tomatoe sauce was supposed to be on it, and I thought it had spaghetti sauce. It was really thick, and very acidic, but not anyone's fault. The avacado was also brown, which was not very aesthetically pleasing, but didn't really change anything. There were two ladies in there and no other customers, and neither one of the ladies were very pleasant. I understand not wanting to be at work, but you shouldn't let that rub off on the customers. I dont know if they were mad at each other or if they just genuinely hate their job, but whatever it is, it shows. Hopefully they were just having a bad day or a bad morning and it got better.
The store it self was very clean. The bagles are fresh, and there was a great variety. I didn't like what I got, I should have got something else, because everything looked so good and I was super excited about getting something good there. But again, nobody's fault, just personal preference.

First time going. Bagel turned out well but ordered it with no cheese. Double checked when it was handed to me and she said was it ordered like that? And then tore apart the sandwich and ripped off the cheese. Bagel tastes great, it's good I dont have a severe allergy to dairy though. Staff made me feel like I was ruining their day by showing up and ordering. Ill probably try again in case this was a bad day of "Monday blues."

I stop into this Bruegger’s all the time, and every single visit is a good one. The place is always spotless, the food is fresh, and the bagels are consistently perfect — soft inside, just the right chew outside.
But the best part is the staff. The ladies behind the counter are always friendly, patient, and on top of things. They make the whole place feel welcoming, and it’s a big reason I keep coming back.
It’s rare these days to find a spot that’s this reliable, clean, and genuinely pleasant to visit. They deserve every bit of praise. Highly recommend this location.

Nicest, sweetest, friendliest working ladies here makes construction not suck and we all look forward to break time. Fresh, real food instead of the fast food junk around here. Cheaper than waldos and the gas station next door (the gas station food is literally like 7$ for a nasty sausage biscuit)
