Bruegger's Bagels makes bagels differently than typical bagels, leaving them with a hard, chewy exterior and a aerated interior. Whatever little tweak was made to the cooking process or the recipe was genius: the resulting bagel is substantial enough to support the various heavier ingredients potentially on a breakfast sandwich but light enough to be a mid-morning snack with peanut butter and jelly or cream cheese.
Conveniently located in the Epicentre, Bruegger's Bagels is light, airy and organized for efficiency. There are a few tables for any seated patrons but most seem to order their meals to go. There are breakfast and lunch options on the menu, but breakfast is defintely the star of the show. There are many different types of bagels, and the Honey Walnut cream cheese is delicious!
Bruegger's Bagels is also great to take to the office. You can call ahead and order a dozen bagels and a jug of coffee.
It may not be the most memorable restaurant, but I find myself returning regularly. Quality and convenience don't always go hand in hand, but Bruegger's Bagels has it down.
