    First time here. Got two large cold brew, one black and one with vanilla flavor, as well as two bagels, one cream cheese and one egg sandwich. The vanilla cold brew is sweeter than I would have like, but not bad overall. The bagels were delicious, a bit crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were hot and toasty. Service was quick. Lot of seatings inside.

    I have been coming here since high school, over 10yrs now.. yikes. I can't believe I've never written a review about this place! The bagels 10/10 so good, EVERY TIME! Their "ice cooler" which is the name of their home made iced coffee which is sweetened perfectly is so very good, this is one of the locations where they have it because I go to the CDM location often and I know they don't have it there! I am saddened to write that every time I used to come here the staff was known for how sweet and over-the-top friendly they were. Today was the complete opposite for me, the girl who took my order didn't even greet me and with the ugliest attitude asked me what I wanted and couldn't even get my order right! Then when I proceeded to order again, they didn't seem to care that I had to order again(and pay again) even though it was them who didn't get my order right. All this to say, I unfortunately won't be coming back, if I decided to have Brueggers again I would go to the CDM location or the one by the airport!

    This is the Herby Turkey Bagel Sandwich and it was delicious! It had herbed flavored cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, red onions, to name a few. It's a simple sandwich but tasted amazing. I will be purchasing it again. He service was great and it was a cute spot.

    We came in early on a Sunday morning for breakfast. There was a line but the wait was not long. The employees were doing a great job moving everyone along, including online and delivery service orders. The bagels tasted fresh and the orange juice was good. Everyone was friendly and had a smile although it was the morning rush. The restaurant was clean and well stocked, except for a couple of tables where guests had just finished eating but failed to cleanup behind themselves. We had the Farmhouse and the Skinny Avocado bacon & tomato bagels. Both were very good. We also grabbed a giant chocolate chip cookie for later and it was also very good and soft. I recommend this Bruegger's Bagels.

    If you're looking for an unconventional bagel, look no further! The bagel I tried was very delicious and very well portioned. We went on a busy day so our wait time was about 10 minutes to order. Regardless of the wait time, we were thrilled the bagel tasted amazing and was warm and toasty on the inside.

    Bacon, egg and cheese with mayo and chipotle mayo. Flat and dry.

    My daughter and I stopped by this location because she was craving a bagel and I bragged about how good they are. I have been to the Irvine location several times. The service was good but for $25 for 2 bagels we had to doctor up after after we got home should of been way better. Dry and smashed bagels were super disappointing.

    Farmhouse Egg
    Nancy R.

    THE FARMHOUSE EGG WAS BOMBILICIOUS! IT WAS SO GOOD AND THE SERVICE WAS SO GOOD ALSO! The place there was somewhat empty which i like. If you're around the area and looking for a good lunch I l 10/10 recommend coming here!

    Forgot to take pictures of everything. I got the turkey Chipotle begal sandwich on a cheddar and jalapeños and it was delicious! My wife got the Pastrami egg and Swiss. It was a bit salty for me but it was good. Service was quick. It wasn't as busy when we went and the place was nice! I didn't get full, so my wife surprised me with this. I don't know the name, but it was okay. I liked the Turkey better!

We had the chilaquiles verdes, menudo, side of fries, kids strawberry cheesecake combo. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. It was so good in fact that we decided to add a stuffed dulce de leche French toast that we saw on the menu earlier. I was blown away. I love that it was salty and just sweet enough. It was the best thing I tried. But the the best part of the whole experience was Alma, our server! We didn't even notice we came in hour before closing, and when we did we apologized and she was so kind and told us not to worry and to enjoy our food. She was the last server there and was juggling multiple tables but still managed to be extremely attentive to us. She is so kind and has a great personality. Thank you for everything, Alma! Also big shout out to the kitchen for not closing before the restaurant! They let us add our French toast about 20 mins before closing, which is really unheard of in the restaurant culture of "last calls" 30 minutes before. I loved this place!

Finally a couple weeks go by and we get there with the line not too busy so we wait for about 20 mins in line with only 5 people ahead of us which I felt was a bit crazy but we're already here. Finally we order and get a breakfast burrito and a torta to eat in totaling out to 35$ just between those two items, but hey if it's good who cares right. We notice that there is no assigned seating and we're told to grab a seat where ever we liked so we go to the only table available inside about 10 mins after sitting and waiting for our food one of the waiters comes up to us and tells us we can't sit at the table because it's meant for a bigger party and that there is a table all the way in the back next to the restrooms that we need to move to because they need to save this table in case a big party comes in. I told her that these were the only seats available when we got here and i'd have no problem moving if a bigger party came through however there wasn't anybody waiting in line or ordering so we were gonna continue to wait here. the waitress proceeded to tell me that she doesn't know how else to say this but we aren't allowed to sit there, and we just exchange awkward silence. she gave up after about a minute of telling us to go to the back of the restaurant. All this could be overlooked if the food was amazing so i was really hoping it would be good and then finally after about 16 mins of waiting and being told to move by staff the food comes out. the waiter drops my plate so that it clatters as it hits the table and the nail in the coffin is that the food was honestly borderline bad, burrito lacked seasoning but was smothered in salsa to attempt to hide its mediocrity, it came with two more salsas on the side and chips but the chips were cold and stale unsure if they just gave me old chips because they were upset with me not moving to the back for them or if their chips are always that stale and unsalted. won't be making a return save urself the money and go try any other Mexican place their food will be better and cheaper.

I came in with friends and ordered a pitcher along with several shots. The server, a young white male, brought the shots and only one cup of beer. I immediately told him I had ordered a pitcher, but he insisted I never said that -- even though I had already been charged. To avoid arguing, I told him to just bring a pitcher and charge me again respectfully. He refused and told me I would have to go back and wait in line if I wanted one. When I asked to speak with a manager, he said the manager was unavailable. We later noticed him walking around the patio taking pitcher requests from other customers and bringing them directly to their tables without sending them back in line. We politely asked again, and he said "okay," but repeatedly ignored us, walking past our table multiple times. When my friend followed up, he suddenly claimed he couldn't serve us and again told us to get back in line. There was no clear reason for the difference in treatment. Watching others get served while we were repeatedly refused, despite being respectful customers, made the situation feel discriminatory. As Latino customers in a predominantly Latino community, the behavior came across as biased and unacceptable. It's extremely disappointing because I've supported this place for nearly a decade and had never experienced anything like this before. Unfortunately, this interaction completely changed my view of this establishment. I would not recommend coming here if respectful and fair service matters to you.
