I love Bruegger's! I find myself stopping in to one of the three locations near my home & office about twice a week over the past few months.
I'm a huge fan of their new(er) egg white & sun-dried tomato bagel. They always have a fresh selection of coffee - house blend, flavors, & decaf. They have even offered to brew me fresh coffee if I'm there in the afternoon. The fire-roasted tomato soup is also a great option.
Above all, what stands out to me about the Cotswold location is their customer service. I always enjoy stopping in here. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I've told them so on numerous occasions.
Last month, I stopped in here unexpectedly needing a dozen bagels. Despite it being a Sunday morning with a line forming behind me, the girl behind the counter happily sliced the bagels for me, while I picked out delicious cream cheese from their large selection. (The willingness to slice bagels cannot be said for another S CLT bagel location, but I'll review them separately. However, the Bruegger's positive attitude confirmed this is the bagel place for me.)
To clarify what some other reviews have said, this Cotswold location is NOT attached to a Caribou. Others in Charlotte are, but this location is not. -

I've never been to this bruegger's before but I had an appoitment across the street and needed to stop somewhere for breakfast afterwards and vowed to stay away from fast food. So I checked the Yelp iphone app to see what was close and Voila, I find this one right across the street.
So I go in and order my usual sandwich...the salmon breakfast sandwich. And I try their coffee. The sandwich would have been better if they actually cut it in half all the way through and not halfway. And what happened to the capers? They were missing from my sandwich.
The coffee was decent but not as good as some of my other java joints.
The person who rang up my order was very friendly so that's a plus. I got my order to go but I looked around and the restaurant seating area seemed to be laid out well with a few booths and then tables. at 10am it certainly wasn't busy. I hope they are at other times of the day. -

THIS PLACE IS SLAMMED ALL THE TIME! Never without a line, I'm currently addicted to the Sun Dried Tomato bagel and it's worth the wait, but it's good to note to never go here on a weekend if you're on a specific time frame.
Fresh bagels, with all the standards and a few surprises and good cream cheese - I am excited to try Poppy's soon but this will always be a great place in Cotswold to get some carb lobving :) -

The other day, I had been itching for a bagel and hoped since they had Bagel in their name that they would actually have perfected the bagel. Well, not so much.
They lacked the variety of bagels and Cream cheeses I am used to seeing. No Tofu Cream Cheese? Wha? Usually, I can at least find a Whole Wheat Everything Bagel so that was lacking too. As, for the line I'm not sure what that was about cause I think I could've gotten a better bagel at Starbucks. Guessing it was some of the other lunch options. -

The bagels here aren't as good as everyone said they would be. I actually think I like the Einstein's Bagel's bagel-cream cheese combo better. I personally prefer the plain bagel and cream cheese over the egg sandwiches because the eggs are kind of weird and microwavy tasting. The nice thing about this location is that it's on the 2nd floor of the epicenter and you can get there directly from the Aloft.
They have some very good deals on breakfast bagels that are CHEAPER than Smoothie King. Damn you delicious expensive smoothies!
Tip: I wasted $2 on a very very disgusting and watered down Iced Coffee. Avoid at all costs. Minus 1 star for that. -

I'm a fan of the Leonardo di Veggie sandwich, but I like to get it without the onions so that I can still talk to clients for the rest of the week. The Brueggers red onions are a little crazy.
This location can get a little busy around lunch time, but the staff is smart and efficient and ready to handle it. I also like Brueggers' soups, when they have one that is vegetarian. They do a lot of chicken and Italian wedding and such, which I'm sure are lovely...they just don't float my boat.
The coffee and tea selection is also great here, which is nice.
And best of all...the wireless is fast and free! If you get here at a time that isn't overrun by the lunch crowd, it can be a great "office." -

This Bruegger's has become a go-to for my girlfriend and me on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. As mentioned elsewhere, it's attached to a Caribou Coffee, so there's an easy kill two birds with one stone effect going on here. I usually grab a latte at Caribou and then walk through the door, newspaper in hand, to grab a bagel sandwich at Bruegger's. If it's nice out, I sit outside in their huge outdoor patio and enjoy my bagel/coffee/paper combo in the sun. It really is perfect for a weekend afternoon with good weather.
Though a lot of people make use of this awesome outdoor seating feature, Bruegger's is never too packed; you're in and out pretty quickly. My girlfriend loves their Leonardo di Veggie bagel sandwich, which looks great. I always go with the roast beef, which comes with spicy mayo. Very good. It's pretty standard sandwich fare, but you really can't go wrong here. -

Out and about on a Sunday morning and decided to stop in for some breakfast. Surprisingly, they were packed. Not so much surprised that they were packed because the bagels are bad - I've always found them tasty. Just that it was so early and they were so busy.
Now Bruegger's won't ever be a Starbuck's or even a Panera Bread. But they are trying. They have converted some of their tables to booths, and they have a few comfy chairs and free wireless. But you're not going to want to hang out at Bruegger's. It's just not that friendly and cozy. -

The day has come -- I finally found a good bagel in Charlotte!!! Yay! Although not a NY bagel, Brueggers definitely delivers. Their bagels are baked fresh daily and you can taste the difference. They've got several interesting choices, and I tried the rosemary basil bagel with garden veggie cream cheese, which was SO good. They also have pumpkin cream cheese, which was extrememly tempting, but I thought it might be too sweet. Delicious!
They also sell delicious items such as natural and organic peanut butter mixed with dark chocolate. They've got yummy sounding salads and soups. A great place to come for lunch, or for a dozen bagels on a Saturday morning.
