Bruegger’s Bagels

For some reason this is the only brueggers in Pittsburgh that does not toast their bagels. They may «warm» them up, but they are never toasted. This has been for over a year so it was just not a mistake once or twice. Completely ruins the bagel. If this wasn’t the brueggers on the way to
Work, I would never stop at this one.
When I called to complain the man who answered was less than helpful and thought it was a joke. He asked me if I «watch how long they toast it for». Sorry I did not babysit my bagel was it was being made. That should not be necessary.
The only reason I give 2 stars is because the employee was nice today and the cooler was cold. Which it typically is not.

My fave place for a quick «fast food» lunch that doesn’t taste like fast food!
My only complaint (s):
— Manager needs to make sure orders are made so they don’t run out of ingredients. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone in and they’ve been outta coleslaw. I don’t even order, I just leave.
— The menu needs more consistency. Just as I get used to something, they pull it from the line-​up.
— Quality control. There are times that I don’t think anyone cares what the food looks like.
Despite it all, the majority of the time my order is perfect. When items are unavailable I’m often offered free products. I’ve rarely had a run in with an employee at this facility that was not pleasant.

Every time I come here, I am greeted with smiles and such a kind manager. Awesome experience every time! The bagels are definitely baked to perfection. Worth every penny!

Rude service and gross coffee, as for the bagels… I’m a New Yorker, so these bagel-​shaped bread things being called «bagels» are laughable to me. Also, why are they charging an arm and a leg for basic bagels + eggs, things that are supposed to be cheap? No, thanks.

I’ve been to plenty of different brueggers locations. It’s always tasty. But this location is the best. Everyone is exceptionally nice. Especially the girl who works at the cash register. I wish there was a tip jar so I could give her a tip.

I’ve been to this location multiple times, but I had an exceptional experience this weekend that I just had to share. I was across the street at the Southside Food, Art & Sidewalk Fest when I decided the (finally) hot weather called for a nice iced tea. I went inside and asked if they had iced tea, preferably green. The one gal behind the counter said they have regular iced tea, which I was fine with, until the other employee chimed in and said «if you want green tea, I can make it for you!» She actually went out of her way and took the time to steep some hot green tea for me and then put it over ice. She said it’s not on their menu, but she also loves green tea and has perfected the art of iced green tea while working there. I know it’s not an experience that everyone will have there, but I was so grateful and impressed with her offer! Both employees were super pleasant and receiving this kind of service will definitely inspire me to frequent Bruegger’s more often!

This was my first time being here so I don’t know a lot about the menu, however, one bagel sold me.

Is it just me? Seems every time I come here some local who doesn’t own an inside voice comes to chat up a seated guest.. . Shhh it’s morning time

Love coming here for morning bagels. The manager is always funny and nice. Just a walk away from my place so might as well enjoy it. I’ve never gotten a wrong order in the past 2 years.

2 out of 3 times you come to this location the order is wrong. Today I ordered a sausage egg and American cheese bagel on a plain bagel and a plain bagel w cream cheese. Simple enough, right? First order was a plain bagel w sausage and jalapeño cream cheese and second was onion bagel w egg. Not even close, and I was the only one in line. I won’t go into the response I received when going to the counter, but it wasn’t pleasant. Only other thing I will say is that their furniture is all over the place w chairs strewn everywhere leading to a less than decent atmosphere. Only go if desperate for food and or hungover.

Tim the manager is great. Always chatting you up as he makes your meal and making it fun.

Pricey, but the salads are good.
It’s not that the bagels cost a lot or anything they’re just priced more like a movie theater. You just don’t expect a salad and a large lemonade to run $ 10 but it does at brueggers.
That said the food is generally on the better end of quality for fast food and the staff here are polite and attentive.
If you’re watching calories and work on the southside there aren’t many options that work. This is one of them.

I walked into the office this morning (with slight post-​Super Bowl haze) and quickly realized that it was my turn to bring in breakfast. D’OH! Panic mode. The good folks at Bruegger’s on the Southside helped me to recover with an amazing quick turnaround after my high-​speed jaunt across the Birmingham Bridge. Excellent bagels and some other options like muffins, cookies, great sandwiches and more. I love the fact that these bagels taste like «real bagels» compared to Panera. I also love the fact that they have Smoked Salmon cream cheese (even though I might be in the minority on that one)! Thanks Bruegger’s — I got hammered and harrassed by co-​workers but it could have been worse.

Ran in and got myself some quick take-​out as I was running around town
Bacon, Egg, and Chees on a toasted onion bagel
Ham, Egg, and Cheese on a toasted onion bagel
The bagels were rubbery, but not as much as the egg. It is amazing what can happen at different stores in the same chain. I must say, I wasn’t hungry after I was done.

I LOVE Bruegger’s Bagels. I wish they would come to Chicago. Regardless of the time of day, I order the same thing, the turkey sandwich with garlic cream cheese and dried tomato spread. So good, I wish I had one right now. My cousins thought I was odd for wanting to come here, but I told him to take a bite of my sandwich and yes, indeed, he did agree, it was good. Friendly service and spacious seating all added to another great Bruegger’s experience.
