This place was soooo good! It's been a long time since I've had a good breakfast bagel and this is the place to go for it! Their coffee is super good too which is just the cherry on top! The staff was super friendly and extremely quick with their service. The ONLY reason I have it a 4 instead of 5 was because one of the staff members handling the food was blatantly sick, sneezing and coughing a bunch and sniffling a very stuffed and running nose. read more

I really didn't think too much of this place. I got breakfast from here - 3 bagels. First, their bagel selection was alright, but I made the mistake of ordering the wrong kind and having them "warm up" my bagel. My cheddar bagel was nothing more than a plain bagel with a slice of cheese melted/baked onto the top. I had to pay extra for this, mind you. I couldn't taste any cheddar. When they "warmed it up," all they did was toast it, so it largely lost the soft texture I wanted. For all this, I had to wait a lot longer than I should have, given there was only one group of 4 in front of me in line. Also our 3 sad bagels were like $16. I would not go here again. read more

This just was gross and overpriced. Went through the drive thru to get a quick bite. Ordered the breakfast wrap with turkey sausage and just some ice water. It took a bit to get it, but it came with the pre-cooked eggs that seem to be what coffee stands all sell now. It was completely tasteless. And the whole thing cost me $11. Not sure if they charged for water as other reviews have mentioned. But you can get the same wrap at other coffee stands for $8, and the other ones have SOME taste! Will NOT be back. read more

I hate doing this but here it is. Ordered wild salmon bagel. Very little ingredients,very tough bagel. $16.95 for basically cream cheese. Stick to making eggs read more

Boyfriend came into town to visit with my while I'm here for work. We came here cause we love a good bagel... We had to get the Salmon Bagel since it made us think of our time in Kauai. Needless to say boyfriend only had 1 caper on his half and I had none.... Bagel was so tough it became unbearable to chew. Also wasn't fond of how 3 making the good had their hair loose and around their face.... Didn't remember seeing the onions either.... Not worth a return at all.. the crew seemed more concerned about their conversations. Interior didn't leave a memorable impact to be mentioned. read more

What a great find!! After a disappointing night at a nearby hotel my guests and I were looking for a quick bite and coffee before embarking on our 6 hour journey! To kick off , the shop was warm , inviting and cozy! The delicious aromas of baked goods and coffee rafting in the air. Immediately we were greeted and order requests were asked. The assembly and the methodical process of the food prep was impressive and fun to watch our orders come to fruition! On the table we had ordered The Rio , In a spinach wrap with jam and potato. This was amazing! Then there was the Western on a sesame bagel , delicious and tasty! Last but not least we had the Chedder melt in a spinach wrap , so delicious! We also had lattes and americanos, I personally am a Starbucks junkie, and I will say my caramel americano at this shop surpassed my usual americano at Starbucks! Big kudos to the staff here as they were all working quickly to assist I house guests as well as drive thru! Absolutely found this place to be charming and if I'm In Fairbanks again, I will definitely be stopping in! T read more

Came here twice while in Fairbanks. First time drive thru experience was a bit slow. Came for a coffee and couple of bagel sandwiches. It took quite some time from start to finish. So my second visit we went inside. It wasn't any faster. I actually think they took longer inside. There were a lot of employees on shift but it was obvious they didn't have a working system in place. They looked like a bunch of lost puppies. Just sayin. Get it together yall!!! read more

Surprised to get a sub-par meal here. I ordered the Roast Beef Cheddar Melt as a wrap. I couldn't even finish it because it didn't taste great and was difficult to consume. The meat had fat strings and weird pieces that I had to pick out, which made a mess. The roast beef very thin slices and not as tasty as I imagine quality roast beef would taste like. The horseradish sauce had a kick but it was a strange consistency that made it ooze out of my wrap, piping hot and watery, making a mess. The fillings in general were uncharacteristically skimpy... I didn't want to even take a photo because the appearance was fairly unsightly. For beverage I got their mint chocolate coffee which tasted slightly stale, and artificial. Couldn't finish that either. The girls working seemed very nice but the food/bev is faltering since I was here last. I'll be back but was really disappointed in my visit. And now I'm hangry, LOL. read more

I stopped in the drive thru yesterday for a quick bite. I ordered the Bagel with smoked salmon on a well toasted everything bagel and a large water. To my surprise is was $18.45. I asked the lady how much the sandwich was because there are no prices on the drive thru menu. She said it was $13.95. I was a little shocked cause they had been $8 for a long time. Rising costs I get it... side note the bagels are very small now too. But $13.95. She commented back it is what it is. I already had my meal she already had my money. But wait $5 for a large cup of water. What the heck? The sandwich was good ... although not well toasted as asked for. And the water well for $5 it was the best water I have had since movie theater water. Lost my business....for now. read more

We ordered the wild salmon bagel at Bagels And Brews. It was the toughest bagel that I have ever chewed and was accompanied by a more sour than salty tasting salmon for almost $10 each! Considering the space occupied by the tomato, onions and capers, there is two thin slices of lox. Though there is a generous helping of capers, this is by far a lox bagel that makes me recall that sometimes food is just fuel. This is just fuel. There is no love in this bagel and the slightly sour salmon makes it hard to keep it down. All this for $10! I would never pay this much again for a lox bagel at an unfamiliar place! This was utterly disappointing. My wallet is significantly lighter, my stomach is full with a lead ball of a bagel, and my mouth is stuck in a frown of disappointment. I wouldn't eat here again, and I wouldn't recommend that you even try it. read more

Great service! Such a change since I was here last time (drive through) Pleasant attitude, welcoming, knowledgeable of what was available. They were out of a bagel I wanted but employee gave we great alternatives that were similar to my request. read more

If you want to feel about a million years old... I came here in search of bagels and found them playing music from when I was the same age as the people behind the counter. "Bring me to life" by Evanescence was a cruel reminder both that I'm not so young anymore and that I had indeed been women up... Barely Friggin AWESOME bagels though! read more

What a treat! Wife and I are visiting and looking for a quick and cheap place to grab a bite to eat, but something better than fast food. We both ordered the Western and it was delicious. Very filling. The servers were friendly and the service was fast. Bagels are made fresh on site and some were sold out by the time we got here (we slept in!). Plenty of space to eat inside or outside. The atmosphere was great and they even offered a drive-thru. We would definitely eat here again. read more

There are too many great options in town to wait over 30 minutes for a cold bagel and bad coffee. Save yourself the time and go to Bucko's or Sunrise- much more friendly and reliable. read more

Chicken Caesar wrap with extra veggies is my fav!! Quick and convenient- always friendly workers! And the homemade cream cheese is delicious!!! So are the bagels! read more

The guy laid all my sandwich meat and cheese on the counter so he could remember what I wanted then laid my tomatoes on the cleaning rag! seeing how this place posts no prices on their wall menu and they didn't provide a hand held menu be careful of what you are charged on Monday it was $8.95 for a ham & cheese bagel sandwich on Friday it was $13.95, when I questioned the young man he said we changed our prices a few months ago. I wasn't impressed with his customer service as he didn't want to inquire with any one to fix my bill. so if you want to pay almost $28 dollars for 2 bagel sandwiches this is the joint for you just watch they don't wipe your food with the cleaning rag. The bagels are good the food service training is lacking it's a shame since Fairbanks has so few good places to get food, non-caring employees can cost you a good business. read more

Excellent bagels!!!! Perfectly chewy exterior, soft fluffy interior with just the perfect amount of chew- Holds up to the rigors of thick cream cheese, or the stuffings of a tasty sandwich. Toasting them even made them better with that fresh out of the oven taste! Great flavor in the blueberry or raisin varieties, but even the plain bagel stood out! I will surely be visiting Bagels and Brew again next time I'm in Fairbanks! Local residents are super lucky to have access to this gem! read more

I wanted to like this place... I really did. I ordered the chocolate chip bagel, and man did it disappoint! I've never had such a bland tasting bagel before. It had chocolate chips in it, but I don't know if they were over cooked or what, I didn't taste any of them. My friend also ordered the choclate chip bagel, somehow she was actually handed the bagel that sits in the shelf next to chocolate chip, pecan or something. She had it switched out after a few bites and realizing it wasn't what it was supposed to be. Granted I didn't find any other solid breakfast places in Fairbanks, I don't think I would come back here... it was just very bland. With that being said, the staff is very friendly. read more

Worst food experience ever.. ordered a BLT and the bagel was so dry i could barely chew it, bacon was cold and it was the messiest sandwich with no napkins! Also ordered a grilled cheese and the cheese was barely melted. on top of it all i waited almost 15 min.. definitely wont be spending my money here read more

This place is actually so good! They have a decent variety on their menu, but my husband and I have only tried the bagel sandwiches. If you've have Panera, Einstein's, or other big chain sandwich places, Bagels & Brew compares and sometimes surpasses their quality. If I remember correctly, they have a lot of other snack and breakfast items that also looked really good. There are lots of drink options, as well. There is a quite a lot of seating here and the atmosphere is very warm. Nice place to visit all year round for good vibes. I personally have never had a bad experience with the staff, but I was a student at UAF while living in Fairbanks and was told by a classmate who worked here that she was treated terribly by the owner. I can't speak to that, but just thought it was something to include. Overall, we recommend this place. read more

Visiting from Virginia and we were looking for a local bagel and coffee shop - this place did not disappoint! Super friendly service, very nice and helpful! The bagels were delicious - we had the blueberry, cinnamon sugar, and everything bagels. All of them were fresh and delicious, plus the cream cheese is fresh and mixed by hand. Then they had coconut coffee and it was on point!! Must try this place! read more

Haven't been here for a while, stopped in hungry as all get out. After searching the lunch menu, decided on the RADISHY ROAST BEEF. Without onions, lettuce and tomatoes. But added pickles and the nice gal behind counter suggested it warmed up like a panini. The only complaint was the sandwich needed a little longer in the oven. Cheese was soft, not melted. Could have used real horse radish vs a mayo based. But over all, it was a great sandwich. Great servicgreat price. price. I would suggest to friends and will be back.. sorry no photos. I took one bite and it was gone lol. read more

No masks. We ordered breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Exactly as expected and not bad. But we were also really bothered that none of the employees were following the basics. Not distancing or anything. There was a shield up at the counter but that's it. We felt pretty uncomfortable seeing this behavior during a pandemic. One star for blatant disregard for public safety. read more

first time visitor today, 01/18/2020. NEVER again. friendly staff, food (breakfast bagel with sausage) tasted fine. 20 minutes after I left, I had severe abdominal cramping and diarrhea. THIS WAS THE ONLY THING i HAD EATEN IN OVER 12 HOURS. Again never again. read more

This place had incredible bagels. I love fresh bagels, and this restaurant definitely did not disappoint. The bagels tasted very good, and the cream cheese was wonderful. I had a sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, and it was only $3, which I consider a good price. The place was very clean, and the service was friendly. I also had some of the 1000 mile tea, which was good but not exceptional. It was from an external tea company, so I don't really fault the restaurant. Overall, I would definitely reccomend it. read more

I'd love to give this place 5 stars cuz I used to come regularly and enjoy it. But lately I've been so unimpressed. Charging 12 bucks for a sandwich that's supposed to be a melt. And the cheddar is visibly stacked and not melted at all sandwich lightly toasted essentially. Asked for no tomato, onion, or pepper. And go literally all of that. So there's that. 16 for a sandwich and a drink. And im unsatisfied. read more

So once upon a time, if I went to the Golden Heart City, I ate breakfast at a place that has cookie in the title, then last visit, I was meh. I have had a few other breakfast around town and no lasting love. So I convinced my daughter lets try here. First of all it is the only time in my life where I encountered fresh warm bagels, plus. I had the breakfast bagel made with the everything bagel or the works, best I have had ever, seriously. Then we bought some extra's to go but ate a few at the table, also very, very good. Good selection of coffee I might add, drip and espresso. This is my new go to for morning earth when in Fairbanks. read more
