Bruegger’s Bagels

Love Breuggers! Great bagels. Good coffee. A touch on the pricey side but worth it as an occasional treat. YUM!

A bit pricey and they discontinued their free sandwich punch cards, but the food is good. The best part though is the staff, who are consistently friendly and top-​notch. They make the store as good as it is.

As an Illinois native, I had never heard of Bruegger’s until a coworker brought a bagel to work one day and was flabbergasted that I had never been there. Naturally, I had to try it out, and I did what any sensible person would do; I ordered a sweet and a savory bagel. Upon recommendation of an employee, I had blueberry bagel with pumpkin cream cheese along with an Asiago Parmesan bagel with the bacon scallion cream cheese. I think bacon scallion cream cheese might be my new favorite thing. Not that I didn’t enjoy the other bagel, but I felt the savory one was like something I hadn’t had before, whereas the pumpkin/​blueberry was not new territory for me.
I also had a hot chocolate which was out of this world. Like, the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. I would go back just for hot chocolate. Okay, enough about that.
The staff was friendly. I watched as they put the cream cheese on my bagel, very carefully and with love, unlike some places that slap it on and throw it in a bag. I also like how they cut them.

I could eat from this place daily if it was not so pricey! I absolutely love their smoked salmon bagels, cream cheeses and muffins. They are freshly made, great quality items and reminds me of home on Long Island with fresh baked goods.

This location has gotten so much better the last couple years. Staff is super friendly and happy to see its customers — a far cry from when I wrote my last review. I’m a happy dude whenever I stop here for a quick lunch or breakfast.

Although I was skeptical about a chain vs 1 off bagel place, I still give this place 4 stars. This location has a real sense of community and a great crew. Only drawbacks are no Espresso and prices for some items are a bit high for what you get. Stick to bagel basics and you won’t be disappointed. Bonus for fresh squeezed orange juice but it can be sold out if you get in too late.

Home away from NYC and a bagel and a smear Brugger’s hits the spot. Although a chain this place is clean, friendly and spacious. The menu is complete with an assortment of bagels to croissants and moist muffins. The coffee is good although not on the gourmet high side it’s taste is boldly good. It’s clear they spend effort on choosing their beans. A good place to stop in for coffee and a bagel.

My reviews is for the bruegger’s on Taft rd. In n. Syracuse, but for some reason that location isn’t coming up. We went there today because we had a groupon, so the price was fair, but if we didn’t, what a rip off it would have been. 6.59 for a bagel sandwich. They’re not ever big, full size bagels! It was okay raising, but nothing to write home about and certainly jot worth the price they ask. I’d highly a recommend Panera instead.

Bruegger’s is a perfect place to grab a bagel or breakfast sandwich. It’s always busy and they have a ton of options for breakfast or lunch. They have several different toppings, cream cheeses, and bagel flavors. This location is convenient, clean, and the staff are very friendly.

Bruegger’s Bagels Bakery is a chain of bakeries that specializes in bagel sandwiches. As a person who loves bagels, this was a place I frequented during what I call «the Syracuse years.» I was still at school in good olé’ Binghamton, but I spent a majority of my weekends in Syracuse. This was one of the places I visited many times on those weekends.
Here’s the thing: I really like Bruegger’s. I think it’s a great idea (since I LOVE my bagels so much). I just don’t particularly like this location very much. In comparison, the employees at this Bruegger’s are not as nice as the employees at the other locations. They also tend to be A LOT slower. It takes forever to get through the line. I didn’t usually come here very early either-​maybe around noon was the earliest. It shouldn’t have taken that long when it wasn’t even busy around that time.
The coffee wasn’t that amazing here either. I had coffee at different Bruegger’s in the area that was just better quality. It was too watery, and it was just not flavorful enough for me.
Their pastries, however, were still pretty good. There was a pretty wide variety of different types too, which I really liked. I had an apple turnover there a few times that was pretty tasty. I also really liked their donuts-​they had a lot of different flavors. And during the fall and winter they had hot apple cider and it was AMAZING. But overall, I would go to a different Bruegger’s if you’re looking for a quick meal.

The service was efficient, but the prices are a bit on the high side — two sandwiches, a bottle of water, a small soda and a ‘cookie cup’ came to just over $ 24. All of that aside there is one significant problem with this Bruegger’s and that is it’s lack of preparedness. At 12:25 pm — not yet the middle of the lunch hour — they had only one soup choice instead of the advertised three, and they had no honey wheat bread! Our sandwiches, which were supposed to be on honey wheat were served on plain white bread or a bagel, and that’s disappointing when you’re looking forward to honey wheat. Good place, good food, but a disappointing.

Breugger’s is my favorite bagel establishment in Syracuse. Their bagels are soft and chewy, just the way I like them. I usually order a whole wheat bagel with turkey sausage, egg and Swiss cheese — a pretty hearty breakfast sandwich. I often stop by on the weekend before noon and experience reasonably efficient service. The staff is pretty friendly (I’m sure their shifts start pretty early in the morning, so I give ‘em a break if they’re not very engaging). Overall, I find that I am able to get in and out pretty quickly with a warm and satisfying breakfast.
