Bruegger's Bagels

"I remember when this place opened up. They gave out coupons in the Bettendorf News. The coupon was for free bagels. At the time I do not think most people knew what a bagel was. I live just down the hill on Middle road in which I was give a coupon every day and told to hike it up the hill and get a bagel. I do not remember how many times yet I was super glad to get there and have a bagel. Then hike all the way home."

"Please have your staff wear hair covering. 2 staff were wearing visors, great. 2 men, 1 with longer hair did not and his hair was falling in his face and I’m assuming over my bagel. Yuck! Lost my appetite."

"I just had a wonderful experience here! I know, I suck for eating out on a holiday but the workers inside were so warm and happy, they didn't make me feel bad about it at all. The night at the Roxbury song came on and we all instinctively started grooving to it and erupted with laugher following. The food also got home hot and delish!! Fully recommend this location!"

"I've known Bruegger's Bagels has been in the area for the better part of three decades. I remember when there was a bit of a shift in the breakfast ecosystem of Bettendorf and Davenport around the early 90s when donut shops started disappearing in favor of bagel joints. Bruegger's emerged around that time, but I was never keen, as I was an ignorant child who did not yet enjoy any savory breakfast foods beyond bacon. Well, this morning was the day to end that sad trend, as I craved a bacon and egg sandwich - and a bagel might as well be the bread! The interior or Bruegger's is nothing special. It's particularly clean at the moment, as they seem to be one of the last places anywhere to reopen their dining room. I asked the gentleman at the register about it - he attributed this to decisions made at the corporate level. Something about how their sales haven't suffered by not reopening at this point. I don't blame them - given the preference, I like it when a few less people are around my work. It took me a little while to figure out my order, but I settled on a rosemary olive oil bagel with bacon and a single egg. I can't say there was much special about it, but it definitely hit the spot. The bagel was nice and dense with a hint of the rosemary in its name, the bacon was, well, bacon, and the egg was properly prepared and tasted good, as well. Definitely a breakfast sandwich I'd come back for again. And come back again I should. I find it unfortunate the Bruegger's is in the opposite direction down Middle Road as my place of employment - maybe I'll be able to stop by on the weekend sometime for a breakfast sandwich? I can hope, right? We'll see, I guess. Thanks Bruegger's!"

"Have been coming to Bruegger’s Bagels for years. Honey Wheat bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is always clean. I’ve always enjoyed watching the bagel making process through the window."
