The best eggs on bagels I've found around here. Their everything bagel is really well-flavored. Service and location is good. Coffee quality isn't the worth the price $3, but it gets the job done. Don't think I've tried anything with their cream cheese before.
I did not even now there are Brugger’s bagels everywhere but my first time trying it was in East Lansing. My first time was very mediocre, I selected something I’ve never tried before which was their smoked salmon and I was skeptical about fish on bread but my second time around got better. First time it was very salty, and I couldn’t get half way though the sandwich and I just gave up. I believe whoever made this order perhaps put too many capers on the bagel and since it was my first-time eating capers, it was a lot for my tongue to handle. I have tried this type of bagel from other establishments, and I grew to like it. A year or so later, I came back to a Bruegger’s and it was good. So, it is probably just that first time, bad luck situation, but I have tried different options from this restaurant, and I do enjoy their bagels. Here, they offer breakfast and lunch options, assortments of bagels and cream cheeses, desserts, and sides. This place is on a busy street so parking could be a slight obstacle, so be prepared, but do give it a go.
Bad part first - cross contamination. If you have food allergies or concerns about your bagel touching other people's food, might not be the best place to go. I have food allergies which I did not mention so that is on me, but 10 different bagels where stacked before being put in the toaster, meaning all of the bagels had food transfer. My cinnamon bagel had everything bagel toppings, my son's sausage had cinnamon from mine. Good part: husband and kids loved it...even with the random flavors.
Heads up... NO INDOOR SEATING. Actually, there's plenty of indoor seating, but they don't allow their patrons to sit in those seats. I am so sick and tired of businesses, saving on overhead and using the Covid pandemic as a excuse. I went way out of my way to come here and I had to pay for parking and they kicked me out into the rain to eat my bagel. " sorry... Management doesn't allow us to use the dining room. We don't know why." Are you kidding me? Very not happy right now.
Don't come here if you're under any time crunch at all. They prioritize their mobile orders leaving you to wait 10+ minutes to even get your order taken at the counter. Ended up leaving and not getting anything.
This location is BUSY, but the workers are absolute rockstar and are always friendly! It was my birthday and the worker took the time to wish me a happy day and she was so sweet. Just be patient when you go here, they don’t have a lot of workers and are working really hard
Great spot to get a bagel and coffee in the morning. As a student, it was one of my weekly haunts for a chill breakfast. Great place to study or meet friends. Service is efficient and staff is friendly even when the place was busy. Highly recommend the everything or Asiago bagel with chive and onion cream cheese.
I ordered for the first time at this location and I have to give it a 1 star rating due to a worker there. He had to be in his 20s yet Whinned like a 5 year old when I said sir I haven't finished my order not knowing that you don't tell them your drinks like you would in any other establishment however you tell the person running the cash register. Due to the unprofessionalism that he shown I definately will not order again as long as he is working. In all honestly if I was his boss I would write him up for being quite unprofessional and disrespectful to customers.
Used to be the best bagels in town until Covid hit. Once Covid happened they shut down the restaurant for a while and when they reopened it’s never been the same. I have been to this location at least 10 times since 2020 when Covid started and only one time have the bagels been half good. Every time my family and I go we get the bakers dozen with 4 everything and the rest plain. Every time the everything’s have been nearly raw bagels. Each time, 75% to 90% of the plains have been undercooked. I don’t know what’s going on but whoever is cooking the bagels is not finishing their job. When these bagels are undercooked it is the difference of night and day. I would not recommend going here as it is extremely inconsistent now.
I love the bagels but there are problems at this location. If you go in the store, there's a long, slow line. And now you can't even order ahead online or get someone to answer the phone to take an order.
