Bruegger's Bagels - Carlsbad

Great bagels, their 'Everything ' bagel is a perfect balance between onions, garlic, and seeds, which you know is a big deal! Service always friendly and helpful. Quick.

They make the bagels on site and very good options. I came in because the restaurant had too long a waiting time for Father's Day next door, but glad I came here and would come back.

The mask ?memo? came out recently and we went for lunch. The staff at the el Camino site is usually not as friendly as possible, but today they were extremely rude. I explained I am pregnant for 8 months and find it difficult to breathe with a mask and they refused to serve. Then they told me to order and wait outside. So for 1 minute while preparing my meal, I have to wait outside. People sat without masks just a few meters away. Extremely rude, unhappy service. We will not return.

The Smokehouse Brisket Egg Sandwich was surprisingly good and the best bagel I?ve ever had at Bruegger?s. The hazelnut coffee was as flavorful as always. (Sorry for the limited pic of the sandwich. I was totally in the midst of mowing it down when I realized I should pause and write a review. It was good enough to totally distract me from my mission! ?

I love the breakfast bagels on jalapeno cheddar and the local coupons. I do wish they had bagel dogs! I did see some negative reviews about staff not wearing masks. Fortunately, I have never had an issue with the food or service here. Everyone was wearing masks the times I have been in. Now I go in really early in the morning so maybe the staff adjust their masks later in the day after wearing them so long?
