Bagels are tasty. Even chain bagels. I personally prefer the Bagel Factory, but this Bruegger's is ridonkulously close to my apartment, and they have coupons all over the newspaper and facebook, so it's easy to get lots of free/cheap foodz. I have to say though, when you get a bagel and a schmear, they put a gross amount of cream cheese on. I love cheese as much as the next person, but the cream cheese is a condiment, there is not supposed to be a 1-1 cheese to bagel ratio. But the lady at the counter was super nice. She said something awesome the last time I was there - like "have a peaceful day" or "have a beautiful day" or a "joyful day" or some adjective better than a "nice" day. Gotta love that!
