| - I've been going to this Brueggers location since it opened many years ago. They have excellent bagels for a chain restaurant, transparency in the creation process, and a nice clean store. The manager has been there for some time and he is pleasant to talk to and always has a warm attitude.
I think the prices are pretty fair, less than Einstein's ($4-5 for a bagel sandwich) and slightly more than local stops like Bagel's Forever. The quality is better than the rest set aside perhaps Gotham Bagels downtown, whose prices are outrageous.
Variety is solid, jalapeƱo cheddar, a new bagel sandwich idea almost every time we come in, and some whole wheat options. I'm not big on the whole wheat movement, but their whole wheat everything bagel is my favorite bagel they carry, period. Sausage, Egg (also tasty), and cheese on one of those, YES. I could eat that every morning if bagels weren't so unhealthy. And my wife's favorite is worth mentioning, the Rosemary Olive Oil Bagel. Mmmmm Delicious.
Only issue is that they are generally understaffed, as lines tend to form. I have to imagine staffing bagel restaurants consistently is a nightmare, so it's something I usually can deal with. Literally every bagel place I've been to in Madison has this problem, and it's more than made up for here by great staff and great product.
Save your receipt too, the survey lets you get 3 free bagels. I do it all the time and it's saaweeet
