Bruegger's Bagels - Pittsburgh

Bagels are good! And at this location they're consistently good. The folks behind the counter are always super pleasant. They're super nice to my kid, too.

I’m a regular at Bruegger’s. Every time I’m in the Pittsburgh office for work, my first item on the daily agenda is a stop at Bruegger’s. Great breakfast sandwiches that are unmatched! Great coffee selections. This place is already popular so I am reluctant to give it as glowing of a review as it deserves!

I have never been disappointed here be it a bagel with cream cheese, breakfast sandwich, or hot chocolate, the service is always fast and product delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, with plenty of light coming in and usually not as crowded as the nearby cafes are. I do love the bagels here the cinnamon sugar bagels are just right, whereas the sugary bagels at Panera Bread can sometimes be too much. Additionally, the cream cheese servings are usually generous and there are some good options (including salmon). If you can get a jalapeno bagel with jalapeno cream cheese, it's amazing! My only complaint is that it closes earlier than a traditional cafe would, so I can't visit at times when the mood hits me.

The Squirrel Hill Breuggers has stood the test of time. This deli has been open and flourishing since that late 1990's. I just had a salmon sandwich today and it every bit as divine as the day the store opened, possibly even a bit better. Assuredly, you can depend on this store for freshness, consistency and deliciousness.

The good thing about the store is that they’re open very early in the morning, so you can grab a very early breakfast. I had two bagels, both toasted and with cream cheese. The bagels itself were decent, but they were toasted a bit much for my liking to a point where some of the toppings got brought and left a bitter taste. The cream cheese was quite delicious, but the quantity was scant. I would have liked a little more cream cheese on the bagel. There were two ladies who were working there in the morning. I am not sure if they were tired or in a bad mood, but they were no smiles or greetings. Anyway, I always prefer to go to pigeon bagels, which is 10 times better than going here. The prices were quite economical, though.
