Bruegger's Bagels - San Xavier

I've been coming here on and off for over a year. Amazingly I barely get a hello, a smile, or anything resembling friendliness. I'm always there early and yes I sit and read the news and respond to emails when there, 45 min. to an hour. It's a small place and I get the feeling they'd rather be alone so the workers can chit-chat about their social lives. There are a few that just never stop talking, it's annoying listening non stop to all the drama in this persons life. It wouldn't be fair not to mention that the manager, Eric is very hard working. When he is there you can walk in the door at 5:30 AM when they open and it is ready to go....coffee made, half half out, sugar, sweeteners filled. Unfortunately, he's not much friendlier. The bagels are okay, sometimes they seem doughy as if not quite cooked. the coffee is usually just a touch above warm. The place is also freezing cold. It doesn't matter what the temperature outdoors is, it can be 75, or 32, but the blowers are on full blast....bring layers. I don't order that much, usually just coffee and a bagel, but I just checked Quick Books and in the last 12 months I've spent well over $600 here. I now only come here when I absolutely need to and I'm as unfriendly as I can muster. Einstein's on Ina and Shannon is much better. I've been going there on and off for about the same amount of time. From the second week they greeted me by name.

Upscale fast food? Reasonable price and good flavor. I don't go here often, so when I do, I'm reminded of the extra variety as well as the delicious cream

Ordered a plain, toasted, bagel with plain cream cheese. There was far too much cream cheese, it was cut in half like normal then annoyingly cut, AGAIN, like a sandwich, it was very annoying to eat. The beautiful views and quiet atmosphere cannot be beaten.. less than average bagel with incredible views.

I think the La Canada store is messed up. I called it at 2:15 to order a dozen bagels. They close at 4:00. The person told me they do not make bagels after 2:00, so I could not get a dozen. I have never heard of this at any previous store. I called another Bruegger's further away, and they said they filled bagel orders until closing time.

My farmhouse breakfast sandwich was full of egg shell. The only reason this is a 3 instead of a 2 star is because of the overall service and the nice owner that actually cares about their customers even though he wasn't available today.
