  My family LOVES this Brueggers/Jamba Juice! The food is consistently delicious, the people who work there are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is always clean and upbeat. I get their signature sandwiches a few times a week. My son loves their bagels and Jamba Juice protein smoothies. The prices are very reasonable. You will see regulars at this location because it is a great spot to hang out and the food is so good. I love the location too - it's central Melrose on Main St. If you live in Melrose it's walkable to get to. It's nice that it is right across from the Melrose Y. It's convenient to work out and then get a smoothie / bagel sandwich. My favorite sandwiches are the Leonardo da Veggie, Vermonter, and Herby Turkey. My son always gets a plain bagel and peanut butter banana protein smoothie. I like that they use fresh fruit. Also their acai bowls are delicious. Depending on the time/day, sometimes it gets busy and there is a wait to order and get your food. Probably Saturday mornings after families go to the Y. But it's worth the wait. During off times it is not as busy. Also, I regularly use the app to order ahead and pick up. I'm leaving a long review because I want to shine a spotlight on this great restaurant, which has become a positive community to me and others in Melrose!

  I like the bagels enough to keep coming here (and the salmon sandwich is just perfect!) but I hate the process for ordering online. The app and website are very buggy. In the store, they are very likely to have your order prepared and standing somewhere behind the counter instead of in the order pick-up area. You wait around and no one acknowledges you until you finally ask about the order and turns out its been standing there prepared all along out of site and you are supposed to guess that it is ready. They also seem to have stopped cutting the bagels and sandwiches in half.

  I tried an Asiago bagel with garlic ranch cream cheese and a turkey sandwich with chive charm cheese on an Asiago bagel. The garlic ranch cream cheese tasted plastic-like to me and I didn’t like it. The sandwich with the chive cream cheese was superior but a little dry. I tried the orange juice and a caramel iced coffee. The orange juice tasted watered down and the iced coffee was sickeningly sweet for my taste. The employees helped when asked and there was plenty of seating, but the tables were a little dirty in my opinion.

  Asked for an onion bagel toasted. Got it burn to crisp. If this is difficult for this location, what else can’t they do right?
