Stopped in for a couple of bagels. The employees were very kind, and it’s clear they take pride in knowing their regulars — the manager and the customer behind me were sharing friendly banter.
I do stop by often, but it was still really nice to witness that kind of warm atmosphere.

I stopped in recently to pickup a half dozen bagels. The staff are competent, focused and provide good service.
The building is fine. The exterior has some charm since it's an older one on 9th Street. The interior could use a little refresh. They have some old Duke basketball posters that are looking a little faded. Otherwise the interior is fairly spartan.
Overall, it's a Bruegger's Bagels: a national carb chain. It isn't fast food, but sadly the menu definitely caters to the American desire for salt, fat and processed meats.
You could definitely do worse for bagels / breakfast, but you could also do better. The fresh bagels and convenient location (Ninth Street, near Duke East Campus and Whole Foods) and the lack of a long line at 7 a.m. are appealing.

Ordered a signature bagel sandwich, specified no bacon. Realized after a few moments the receipt did not specify this modification. I return to the register to make sure they noted “no bacon.” They still put bacon on the sandwhich not catching it until they are about to hand me the order. I watch as the bacon is pulled off and the same sandwich handed back. I’m okay with cross contamination and didn’t have time for a new sandwhich to be made. The concern is they didn’t even offer to make a new one or ask if it was safe/okay for the item to just be removed. The sandwhich itself was very disappointing.

Very friendly service. Bagels were good too.

After ordering here for several months with no issues, the last two days in the row they have used a chocolate chip cookie label to seal the bag, but my bag did NOT have my cookie inside.
Either Bruegger’s is messing up and the sticker is an attempt at trolling or the delivery driver is stealing my cookie. Regardless, I won’t be ordering here again.
Once is fine, but I gave them a second chance and the same thing happened the very next day.

OMG, this place is fire. When I say they are delicious. I have been three times & I always get the double stack. I'm not sure what type of bagel it is, but I get the exact same one that's on the picture.

Bruegger's is usually a great place to get a very good bagel in Durham. After I wrote that I had one negative experience, a representative reached out to me and gave me a full refund. So they definitely stand behind their product and highly value their customers.
Bagels are always delicious and the sweet lady at the front was so kind!!!
