EAST COAST BAGEL REVIEWS

Went in for some bagels and cream cheese. I realized the cream cheese might spoil in my car cuz I wasn’t going back home anytime soon. The boss working Monday let me keep my cream cheese in the fridge while I ate next door and gave me a bag of ice for the car ride. Excellent service and super yummy bagels and spread!.

Just tried this place for the first time and it was so darn good that I felt extremely compelled to write this review. Had a toasted everything bagel with chive cream cheese and man it took me straight back to New York.

Bagels were fresh, tasty, and moist. Service was friendly and quick as the line moved quickly. There are plenty of drink types and fresh coffee along with stuff to put the bagels.

EINSTEIN BROS. BAGELS REVIEWS

Can't complain about it for a quick grab-and-go stop in my mornings. I've always loved Einstein Bros, so I was really happy to learn about there being one in my area. Even more so when Raymond, the store's general manager, had given me a freebie heart-shaped bagel on several occasions when I'd ordered ahead! As a college student, it's always much appreciated-- thanks! :).

Great place for a late, super quick breakfast on Saturday! Such friendly service by our cashier who gladly explained menu items for us. In and out areas to eat too. Loved my Sammie and iced latte!.

The bagels were fresh, soft and tasty. The atmosphere was warm and clean, The service was attentive and appropriate, and most of all - did I mention, the bagels were soft yet toasty and tasty.

BRUEGGER'S BAGELS REVIEWS

I visited Bruegger's Bagels for the first time when I was in the area for a business meeting. It was the only café or coffee shop open at 7 a.m. I ordered a cheese bagel with honey and walnut cream cheese. It was so good that I ordered another one—a Vermont breakfast sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious! I was so impressed by the quality and flavor of the bagels that I ended up ordering a box for the people at the business meeting. Bruegger's Bagels is a best-kept secret in California. I wish they had one in the Inland Empire, where I work and stay when I am in town.

The bagels here don’t disappoint. Customer service at this location is great. The GM, John, was very personable and helpful when I had an issue with an order in the past. Will absolutely return when looking for a good breakfast sandwich and recommend others do, too.

The staff and service are great. Bagels are good. Everyone in the office loves them. They even get a stamp of approval from the New Yorkers.
