My salmon and cream cheese on an onion bagel was just the ticket for breakfast. Husband's was way too peppery, tasted like the pepper shaker opened up. Easy to find, parking was great.

I adore bagels. My fiance teases me that I could live happily on a diet solely consisting of bagels. There has never been a time when I didn't want a bagel, and I worked at this Bruegger's locations for three years, and I ate a LOT of bagels in my time there. The Bruegger's employees are always very fun and helpful, and accommodate even the weirdest things. I also know, from working there, just how clean and fresh everything really is. Cleanliness was always taken very, very seriously, including using different knives for sandwiches with fish. It was a great place to work, also. It was my first job ever, but the managers and other employees always treated others with respect, and often with sarcastic hilarity (which apparently is still very rampant, judging by the times I have gone in since leaving, which is a lot). The bagels here are SO delicious! I love the Western Bagel on the Sun Dried Tomato, but I get extra dressing to dunk in. Although, I also love the onion bagel double toasted with half the amount of plain cream cheese. Oh, I could go on for a LONG time of the yummy combinations. And the coffee is great. I am a coffee snob, and I have made peace with that. But the coffee there is awesome, and changed often. It's also fair trade, which I am pretty pleased about! It's a great place! I love going there for breakfast...and lunch...and I would go for dinner, but I know it would bother my fiance. He likes bagels, but not nearly at the same level as me. It's definitely worth it!

I really like this particular location for its proximity to campus and super friendly staff. It's quieter than the on campus Einstein Brother's shop with a better musical selection too. If you hate classical music with a passion, there's always the free wifi you can take advantage of. The staff will joke with you, it's quick service and if you decide to sit down, they'll bring your order to your table, even if it's just a cup of coffee. The food is nothing really special, a Bruegger's is a Bruegger's and when I review chains, the thing like cleanliness and service are what earns the stars. The only negative I can think of is that one of the booths isn't bolted down to the floor but since it's like a bench with a really high back, that aspect didn't make much difference to me. It was a bit alarming when I nudged it with my knee and the whole thing shifted but the booth is intact and you would be hard pressed to knock it over just by leaning back.

I LOVE BRUEGGERS!! Bagels, bagels, bagels! I love it. I'm 99% positive the guy boiling the bagels is going to install a curtain since I'm like a small kid, nose and hands plastered up against the window staring at the bagels being made. So much fun! I love coming here on weekend mornings. Parking lot is insane and make sure you are watching when you back out because half of these people just drive without looking. Food is a quick pick up and be on the lookout because I'm ALWAYS getting coupons here. Walls are decorated with various UA sports teams posters so its fun to look at those too. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I think they know me there by now because I am always stopping in, but they consistently do a good job so I am always drawn back. Oh! And they now have turkey sausage! Woo!

What's going on Tucson? This place is GREAT. You don't know what you're taking for granted. The bagels are tasty, fresh, topped with all kinds of good stuff in a clean, fast, efficient, chain setting. I'd die for this kinda place in the Bay. (Well, we have similar places, but not quite as good.) No better place for a quickie, commuter breakfast.

This is an awesome place if you want to invite your day for breakfast or invite any part of the day. I had a rio grande sandwich which consisted of sausage, jalepeño cream cheese, salsa and some other stuff I can't remember. I had an excellent experience wand would be back in a heartbeat! Now that I know we have these in my neck of the woods, I'll be visiting more and more!

I am, like, really into carbs so naturally I love bagels. I actually prefer Einstein's but I go to Bruegger's way more often because it's on my way to work. I've heard so much about how Bruegger's bagels are not authentic and how they're not that good. Whatever, I like them. Sue me. Warm chewy carbs slathered in cream cheese. Sign. Me. Up. When I'm feeling saucy, I get the build your own bagel sandwich with egg, bacon, and cream cheese. The egg is of the super processed variety but their bacon is soo good. Get the bacon. This location is super efficient. Super speedy service and I'm never disappointed when I drop by even during the morning rush. Their coffee is good, reminds me of Starbucks coffee. I have never tried their espresso. It's a national chain but it's not like we have a local bagel option.

Cindy T.
This is a nice Bruegger's with very helpful staff. The seating is ample and the bagels are good. No, they are not NY bagels but they are as good as you are going to get in AZ. I like to get the lox spread with some tomato on it. This is the same bagel I used to get at Bruegger's when I was in college 20 years ago and it still tastes the same. They do a good job staying consistent.

When I crave bagels and cream cheese, no other place will do. I'm kind of boring when it comes to bagels, so perhaps I can't speak for all their varieties, but my plain ol' bagel with plain ol' cream cheese always hits the spot. They also have pretty decent coffee, actually. Lots of choices in regards to the roast, hot or iced, flavors, etc. A few days ago I asked for a bagel and lox, and was pleasantly surprised when the girl working there suggested a "salmon sandwich." I was skeptical, but it was scallion cream cheese, LOTS of lox, capers (but not an overpowering amount), a tomato slice, and some onions. My god...I may have found a new favorite after all.

So I'm from New York, a place where Bagel shops outnumber Starbucks. So I know a thing or 2 about the Bagel. Let me tell you about Bruegger's. No is ain't New York Bagels. Ok, in all seriousness, being from New York I do know about and enjoy Bagels. The way the outside are crisp while the inside are chewy. You get this wonderful combination from the boil and bake method, which Bruegger's does. But it still does not compete with New York. I am sure you heard it before, but it is the water. New York City Water has a unique taste and mineral makeup. Some say it is the best water out there. It is the reason Pastries, Pizza, and Bagels are better in New York. As far as Bruegger's they come pretty close. Their spreads are wonderful. I love the Garden Veggie with nice pieces of Veggies in it, not specs like other "genius brothers" bagels give you. My new treat is the Green Chili Cheddar Bagel. I never thought I would say that because it is against all things good and proper of New York Bagels, but I love it. I also get the Bagel and Lox, which they call the Salmon Sandwich, and it is good. The Salmon is always nice unlike some places where you are wondering how long the Salmon has been in their fridge. Finally the staff. This particular Bruegger's gets a 5 star from me where others would get a 4 star because of the staff. They make you feel like you are at home. The manager is always there to say hello. This is one of the busiest stores being across from the U however they still take the time when it is your turn to make your order right.

The cream of tomato and basil soup is the best I've ever tasted. It goes really well with the grill cheese sandwich that uses 2 cheeses (Muenster and Cheddar).

Its a decent bagel joint with various bagels, schmear options, wraps and sandwiches. The "egg" is this little round disc of yellow that they use for everything. Not sure if its microwaved or made of mix.. Ultimately, this is the spot you go to for a quick breakfast and a coffee or tea drink. I do like the different shmears but cream cheese always tastes good right?

This place is AWESOME!! Very nice atmosphere. Nice greeting upon arrival. Staff eager to serve. And the bagels are delicious and they have a good variety to choose from. From plain to jalapeño From chocolate chip to pumpernickel From onion to cheese. ( you get the drift ) They have different juices and the coffee is on point! Try the big easy breakfast bagel. Yummy!! So whenever we're in Tucson BRUEGGER'S is a must stop! on Campbell across from the U of A! And don't forget the cream cheese! Varieties of that too!!

The things Bruegger's sells aren't really bagels. They're shaped like bagels, more or less, but the texture and consistency are all wrong. A real bagel is dense and chewy, but these things are soft, squishy, and insipid. I buy them anyway, just to have something to put under my cream cheese and lox, but they aren't bagels. Not even close.

i'm a jew. i know my bagels. i previously was a devotee of the bagelry further north on campbell but due to its recent mysterious and inexplicable closure, bruegger's has become my main jam. i mean, the problem is that i prefer einstein's BAGELS but bruegger's SANDWICHES but seeing as how einstein's has a total of -2 locations in central tucson, bruegger's is holding me down in this most important and traditional of jewish food categories (others include: latkes, brisket, challah). anyhoo, most people really don't get bagels, and i'm not professing to be the dalai lama of the holed delicacies but i do think i know a thing or two about them. first of all, they must toast well, but even more so, taste JUST AS GOOD untoasted (except without the exciting crunch of course). i'd say bruegger's product passes that test, mostly because i know that when my dad brings in a dozen to work in the morning (where no toaster exists and all i have at my disposal is copious amounts of lox cream cheese) i will literally eat every flavor. even pumpernickel. that is saying something folks. as aforementioned, their sandwiches are tops. i love the leonardo da veggie, the herby turkey (sans turkey, for my vegetarian tastes), the lox sandwich (mmmmmm lox food of the gods), and the sundried tomato egg wrap is also really quite good. i will say though that hands down i prefer einstein's schmear but like i said, unless i'm willing to travel to guam on oracle and ina or the ukraine on sunrise and swan (i'm very centrally located), it's just not happening. and trust me, there's not a whole lot i wouldn't do for a good bagel and schmear but... sometimes i just want it when i want it and driving 23048203948 miles will not suffice. but mostly i'm writing this review because i think the staff at this location is incredibly friendly and helpful, and i love going in there because it's close to the university and therefore can sometimes make me feel like i'm still in college. and finally, those 7 layer bars they have at the counter are straight up and down THE MOST FABULOUSLY DELICIOUS BAKED GOOD I HAVE EVER HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF CONSUMING. get it. actually, get two. i do.* *i also have the sweet tooth of a sheltered 4 year old raised on only vegetables and soy milk.

A Bruegger's is a Bruegger's... it's a chain, yes, with subpar coffee and tiny sandwiches, but the people who work at this location are SO nice, I had to give them 4 stars. And strangely, while the chicken soup is awful, the chili is actually pretty good, and I'm a chili snob. Thanks for being nice, staff at Bruegger's on Campbell - when I want a bagel, I come to see you rather than the angry ex-cons at the downtown location.

This location is super efficient. Super speedy service and I'm never disappointed when I drop by even during the morning rush. Their coffee is good, reminds me of Starbucks coffee. I have never tried their espresso. It's a national chain but it's not like we have a local bagel option.

This is a nice Bruegger's with very helpful staff. The seating is ample and the bagels are good. No, they are not NY bagels but they are as good as you are going to get in AZ. I like to get the lox spread with some tomato on it. This is the same bagel I used to get at Bruegger's when I was in college 20 years ago and it still tastes the same. They do a good job staying consistent.

When I crave bagels and cream cheese, no other place will do. I'm kind of boring when it comes to bagels, so perhaps I can't speak for all their varieties, but my plain ol' bagel with plain ol' cream cheese always hits the spot. They also have pretty decent coffee, actually. Lots of choices in regards to the roast, hot or iced, flavors, etc. A few days ago I asked for a bagel and lox, and was pleasantly surprised when the girl working there suggested a "salmon sandwich." I was skeptical, but it was scallion cream cheese, LOTS of lox, capers (but not an overpowering amount), a tomato slice, and some onions. My god...I may have found a new favorite after all.

So I'm from New York, a place where Bagel shops outnumber Starbucks. So I know a thing or 2 about the Bagel. Let me tell you about Bruegger's. No is ain't New York Bagels. Ok, in all seriousness, being from New York I do know about and enjoy Bagels. The way the outside are crisp while the inside are chewy. You get this wonderful combination from the boil and bake method, which Bruegger's does. But it still does not compete with New York. I am sure you heard it before, but it is the water. New York City Water has a unique taste and mineral makeup. Some say it is the best water out there. It is the reason Pastries, Pizza, and Bagels are better in New York. As far as Bruegger's they come pretty close. Their spreads are wonderful. I love the Garden Veggie with nice pieces of Veggies in it, not specs like other "genius brothers" bagels give you. My new treat is the Green Chili Cheddar Bagel. I never thought I would say that because it is against all things good and proper of New York Bagels, but I love it. I also get the Bagel and Lox, which they call the Salmon Sandwich, and it is good. The Salmon is always nice unlike some places where you are wondering how long the Salmon has been in their fridge. Finally the staff. This particular Bruegger's gets a 5 star from me where others would get a 4 star because of the staff. They make you feel like you are at home. The manager is always there to say hello. This is one of the busiest stores being across from the U however they still take the time when it is your turn to make your order right.

The cream of tomato and basil soup is the best I've ever tasted. It goes really well with the grill cheese sandwich that uses 2 cheeses (Muenster and Cheddar).
(5)Soo Jin M.
Its a decent bagel joint with various bagels, schmear options, wraps and sandwiches. The "egg" is this little round disc of yellow that they use for everything. Not sure if its microwaved or made of mix.. Ultimately, this is the spot you go to for a quick breakfast and a coffee or tea drink. I do like the different shmears but cream cheese always tastes good right?

This place is AWESOME!! Very nice atmosphere. Nice greeting upon arrival. Staff eager to serve. And the bagels are delicious and they have a good variety to choose from. From plain to jalapeño From chocolate chip to pumpernickel From onion to cheese. ( you get the drift ) They have different juices and the coffee is on point! Try the big easy breakfast bagel. Yummy!! So whenever we're in Tucson BRUEGGER'S is a must stop! on Campbell across from the U of A! And don't forget the cream cheese! Varieties of that too!!

The things Bruegger's sells aren't really bagels. They're shaped like bagels, more or less, but the texture and consistency are all wrong. A real bagel is dense and chewy, but these things are soft, squishy, and insipid. I buy them anyway, just to have something to put under my cream cheese and lox, but they aren't bagels. Not even close.

i'm a jew. i know my bagels. i previously was a devotee of the bagelry further north on campbell but due to its recent mysterious and inexplicable closure, bruegger's has become my main jam. i mean, the problem is that i prefer einstein's BAGELS but bruegger's SANDWICHES but seeing as how einstein's has a total of -2 locations in central tucson, bruegger's is holding me down in this most important and traditional of jewish food categories (others include: latkes, brisket, challah). anyhoo, most people really don't get bagels, and i'm not professing to be the dalai lama of the holed delicacies but i do think i know a thing or two about them. first of all, they must toast well, but even more so, taste JUST AS GOOD untoasted (except without the exciting crunch of course). i'd say bruegger's product passes that test, mostly because i know that when my dad brings in a dozen to work in the morning (where no toaster exists and all i have at my disposal is copious amounts of lox cream cheese) i will literally eat every flavor. even pumpernickel. that is saying something folks. as aforementioned, their sandwiches are tops. i love the leonardo da veggie, the herby turkey (sans turkey, for my vegetarian tastes), the lox sandwich (mmmmmm lox food of the gods), and the sundried tomato egg wrap is also really quite good. i will say though that hands down i prefer einstein's schmear but like i said, unless i'm willing to travel to guam on oracle and ina or the ukraine on sunrise and swan (i'm very centrally located), it's just not happening. and trust me, there's not a whole lot i wouldn't do for a good bagel and schmear but... sometimes i just want it when i want it and driving 23048203948 miles will not suffice. but mostly i'm writing this review because i think the staff at this location is incredibly friendly and helpful, and i love going in there because it's close to the university and therefore can sometimes make me feel like i'm still in college. and finally, those 7 layer bars they have at the counter are straight up and down THE MOST FABULOUSLY DELICIOUS BAKED GOOD I HAVE EVER HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF CONSUMING. get it. actually, get two. i do.* *i also have the sweet tooth of a sheltered 4 year old raised on only vegetables and soy milk.

The jalapeno bagels...Awesome. The other cold sandwich options...don't do it. Their bagels are the BEST in town. They have some good coffee. The floors were quite dirty.
(2)Mindy S.
A Bruegger's is a Bruegger's... it's a chain, yes, with subpar coffee and tiny sandwiches, but the people who work at this location are SO nice, I had to give them 4 stars. And strangely, while the chicken soup is awful, the chili is actually pretty good, and I'm a chili snob. Thanks for being nice, staff at Bruegger's on Campbell - when I want a bagel, I come to see you rather than the angry ex-cons at the downtown location.

This is an awesome place if you want to invite your day for breakfast or invite any part of the day. I had a rio grande sandwich which consisted of sausage, jalepeño cream cheese, salsa and some other stuff I can't remember. I had an excellent experience wand would be back in a heartbeat! Now that I know we have these in my neck of the woods, I'll be visiting more and more!
(5)Aaron R.
Brueggers Bagels = yum. They have very good bagel breakfast sandwiches. Decent orange juice and coffee. Every time I go in there they are very friendly and are getting customers through the line very efficiently. We always get a couple bags of bagels for morning work functions, and everyone enjoys the Bruegger's cream cheese.

I am, like, really into carbs so naturally I love bagels. I actually prefer Einstein's but I go to Bruegger's way more often because it's on my way to work. I've heard so much about how Bruegger's bagels are not authentic and how they're not that good. Whatever, I like them. Sue me. Warm chewy carbs slathered in cream cheese. Sign. Me. Up.

My salmon and cream cheese on an onion bagel was just the ticket for breakfast. Husband's was way too peppery, tasted like the pepper shaker opened up. Easy to find, parking was great.

I adore bagels. My fiance teases me that I could live happily on a diet solely consisting of bagels. There has never been a time when I didn't want a bagel, and I worked at this Bruegger's locations for three years, and I ate a LOT of bagels in my time there. The Bruegger's employees are always very fun and helpful, and accommodate even the weirdest things. I also know, from working there, just how clean and fresh everything really is. Cleanliness was always taken very, very seriously, including using different knives for sandwiches with fish. It was a great place to work, also. It was my first job ever, but the managers and other employees always treated others with respect, and often with sarcastic hilarity (which apparently is still very rampant, judging by the times I have gone in since leaving, which is a lot). The bagels here are SO delicious! I love the Western Bagel on the Sun Dried Tomato, but I get extra dressing to dunk in. Although, I also love the onion bagel double toasted with half the amount of plain cream cheese. Oh, I could go on for a LONG time of the yummy combinations. And the coffee is great. I am a coffee snob, and I have made peace with that. But the coffee there is awesome, and changed often. It's also fair trade, which I am pretty pleased about! It's a great place! I love going there for breakfast...and lunch...and I would go for dinner, but I know it would bother my fiance. He likes bagels, but not nearly at the same level as me. It's definitely worth it!

The best walnut and honey cream cheese and blueberry bagel!
(4)Kevvy K.
What's going on Tucson? This place is GREAT. You don't know what you're taking for granted. The bagels are tasty, fresh, topped with all kinds of good stuff in a clean, fast, efficient, chain setting. I'd die for this kinda place in the Bay. (Well, we have similar places, but not quite as good.) No better place for a quickie, commuter breakfast.

I really like this particular location for its proximity to campus and super friendly staff. It's quieter than the on campus Einstein Brother's shop with a better musical selection too. If you hate classical music with a passion, there's always the free wifi you can take advantage of. The staff will joke with you, it's quick service and if you decide to sit down, they'll bring your order to your table, even if it's just a cup of coffee. The food is nothing really special, a Bruegger's is a Bruegger's and when I review chains, the thing like cleanliness and service are what earns the stars. The only negative I can think of is that one of the booths isn't bolted down to the floor but since it's like a bench with a really high back, that aspect didn't make much difference to me. It was a bit alarming when I nudged it with my knee and the whole thing shifted but the booth is intact and you would be hard pressed to knock it over just by leaning back.

I LOVE BRUEGGERS!! Bagels, bagels, bagels! I love it. I'm 99% positive the guy boiling the bagels is going to install a curtain since I'm like a small kid, nose and hands plastered up against the window staring at the bagels being made. So much fun! I love coming here on weekend mornings. Parking lot is insane and make sure you are watching when you back out because half of these people just drive without looking. Food is a quick pick up and be on the lookout because I'm ALWAYS getting coupons here. Walls are decorated with various UA sports teams posters so its fun to look at those too. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I think they know me there by now because I am always stopping in, but they consistently do a good job so I am always drawn back. Oh! And they now have turkey sausage! Woo!
