Bruegger's Bagels - Arlington

Bruegger's is my favorite spot to satisfy my coffee and breakfast bagel cravings when I'm not feeling too adventurous. Their sausage, egg, and cheese on jalapeño cheddar bagel is a must-try. The service is quick and friendly, the coffee is great, and the restrooms are clean. My only complaints are the pricing, as nearly $10 for a coffee and bagel feels a bit steep, and I'm not a fan of their newer specialty sandwiches. However, these are issues that come with being a chain restaurant. Overall, this franchise is fantastic.

This breakfast place gave me one of the worst experiences I've ever had. We ordered through the app and it said our order would be ready in 10-15 minutes, but it took nearly an hour. Additionally, my girlfriend's blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese was extremely burnt on one side. Save yourself the trouble and go to Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks instead.

When I come to DC to visit family, Bruggers is always on my list of places to go, because good bagels are hard to find on the west coast. Today's visit was a huge disappointment. My favorite rosemary bagels were flat and almost soggy. The Pumpernickle bagel wasn't flat, but still lacked the signature bagel texture. If I wanted Bagel shaped Objects, I could just go to the grocery store and pay a lot less.

Friendly and fast service, great bagel with cream cheese, and really good vanilla iced coffee. Liliana was especially helpful, definitely will become a regular here!

The restaurant offers decent bagels and sandwiches, although they are slightly overpriced. However, the service is consistently slow. Even when there are six staff members working, it takes a long time to receive your order. It appears that the staff may need better training or management to improve the efficiency. Additionally, the restaurant incentivizes customers to leave 5-star reviews by offering free food, which may be against company policy and could impact the credibility of their ratings.
