Bruegger's Bagels

We have been searching for a true New York style bagel for a while. Bruggers definitely comes close with a nice chewy bite and not just a bread donut like most places.

Good food and good service. The staff were amazing and friendly. I wish the brisket came with a little more meat but it was filling.

Best bagel sandwiches!

Consistently great!!! The brunch box is a great deal!!!

Waited in line for 25 minutes. Management: This place needs some serious training on how to improve their line times or more staffing.

Ordered a sandwich (first) and a dozen bagels to go (after eating my sandwich). The sandwich was OK. WAY too much cream cheese. The bagels to go were for an office brunch and the overwhelming comment was that they were "bready" like a grocery store bagel, and did not have that essence of bagel or the right texture. I've gotten bagels here fairly regularly before and something definitely changed (besides the prices, which have gone up quite a lot). But I'm willing to say it was a fluke and maybe someone forgot a step, because every other time they've been good. Every time I go in here I seem to get a staff member with a bad attitude (not something I regularly experience other places), some people won't even look at you and mumble at their shoes. The nice gentleman who used to manage the place is gone and the people in there now act like you're annoying them when you order. Finally, the line management is super poor and holds the store up during busy times. If I'm going through and just want to order bagels, I end up stuck behind people who have large qty hot food orders almost every time, and the staff will stand there making the hot food, not looking at or addressing the customers. Since there is no ordering on the app, the line is way longer than it needs to be if people buying just bagels are stuck in the same line as hot food orders, and there's no prioritizing going on. Sadly, still the best bagels this side of town, but that's more a commentary on the lack of selection than anything in Bruegger's favor any more.

Excellent bagels and coffee

I come here even if it is farther away from my home than other bagel places. Bruegger’s has much more quality and great service than other bagel places around my area in Murrieta. Bagels are tasty and fresh, they have delicious sandwiches like the sriracha honey sunrise, my favorite! I try to have a stock of their bagels at home. Ask for the bagels to be cut and get freezer bags so they can last weeks/months, and grab some tubs of their flavored cream cheeses.
