Bruegger's Bagels

I tried the Farmhouse bagel sandwich and it was absolutely amazing! It is the best breakfast sandwich I have ever tasted. I will be back again soon! Brueggers never disappoints. Quality ingredients and flavorful food. Highly recommend their bagels and cream cheese as well.

Best bagels in Cedar Rapids. For some reason the everything bagels I get are always smashed.
I am amending my response to include a readily apparent observation. I reviewed 6 negative responses after mine.
You use the same generic responses each time.
There is obviously one senior employee with a negative attitude. Is he a manager/owner who writes these cookbook responses??+

Delicious bagels! We especially enjoyed the Rosemary Olive Oil and the Asiago Parmesan! Service was fast and friendly.

Good Bruegger’s and closest one to Ely. I ordered through the app, and my entire order was waiting on me when I arrived. :) They did stop providing milk options to put in their iced coffee, but they do have a really good cream additive. I had the sriracha honey sunrise on an everything bagel as is. VERY messy to eat in the car but totes worth LOL.

Outstanding bagels, super friendly staff, and quick turnaround on orders. Plenty of seating if you want to sit down.

Great service, Cashier helped explain everything and also helped me choose what sandwich I wanted. Food & Coffee is absolutely amazing! Will definitely be back & with friends!

Despite there only being two employees, and them clearly being a little stressed, I was still treated with amazing service. They got my order taken once I was ready and even went in the back to grab more bagels for my order (I hadn't realized they were out of them up front, but they were polite enough to go grab some instead of asking me to choose something else). It was nice and clean, a comfortable atmosphere, and a pretty good price for a bagel sandwich and a bag of chips, to where I had no problem tipping more than my usual 20%. And to top it all off, as I was waiting (which wasn't very long), one of the employees offered me a sticker from a jar. I'm not a child, but I sure got the excitement of one when I was offered. And the sandwhich was absolutely worth it all. It was delicious, to the point where I didn't even get a real picture of it. Took one bite and it was gone within a minute or two.
Eat local - it's always worth it! ❤❤

Atmosphere really needs work.

People and food are fantastic. I really appreciate these guys and their hard work.

I think far better bagels than Panera. Large fresh bagels taste like authentic New York style. I'm hooked on the salmon sandwich with capers, tomatoes,fresh red onions, and cream cheese. I have had this salmon on various bagels, flavors, always good and fresh breakfast and lunch. The little side twice baked hashbrown is a treat.

Very noisy so it was hard to have a conversation with my friends but the food was yummy and the people there were nice.

They have a brisket breakfast sandwich that is Sofa-King delicious. On the days you are hungrier than usual you can even add an extra egg! 🤤

Bought a baker's dozen of a variety of bagels with 2 cream cheese with veggies. They were fresh, moist & smelled wonderful! Would recommend puting them in a zip lock bag to keep them fresh if you're not going to eat them right away! We were waited on quickly, help was friendly & patient while we decided on what bagels we wanted. We were in & out in 10 minutes or less!

I go there almost daily. Bagels are good. Coffee is good. They are always helpful except it has taken me a long time for them to take my phone number for the rewards program. I get a freebie every so often. Nice to get a freebie bagel.

Love the employees who work here! They are so kind & truly have excellent customer service skills.
Their bagels are the true old style, and their salmon sandwiches are to die for (if you like fresh salmon, that is).
So glad that I tried this place out about 4 years ago with a friend for lunch, based off his recommendation. Great taste led to a great relationship!
Special note:
This SE side Bruegger's has stepped in to sponsor the St. Jude Sweet Corn Festival Kernel's Road Races with their fabulous bagels for the past 2 years. We are so grateful for their generosity to our community event & participants!

Get a dark toasted sesame bagel with the smoked salmon and you'll tank me.

Real bagels and bagl entrees made to order by Pat and crew. Great cookies too.

The tea is really good, as are the blueberry muffins. The chairs and tables are perfect for remote work.

My favorite bagel sandwich! Herby turkey on Asiago Parmesan, toasted. They’re always friendly and quick. Love this location!

The best authentic bagels in Cedar Rapids. I love the Honey Sriracha cream cheese. It is my good-to.

They have great food and their personality is exceptionally nice and they are very considerate. I would suggest if anyone wants to have a terrific breakfast do not hesitate to go to this store

Drove from Kirkwood Community College between the classes for breakfast. It was further than expected, but super fast and delicious food with quality service. Worth the drive!
