Bruegger's Bagels

I would like to be able to say that I had eaten a sandwich yesterday [1-26-2023] at the Bruegger's Bagels at 1630 Neil Ave. [several blocks east of the OSU Wexner Medical Center] but what had actually happened is that I had had to eat my sandwich somewhere else because Bruegger's Bagels is currently "takeout only." Google Maps reports that that location of Bruegger's Bagels offers "dine-in" in addition to "takeout" but that is not true at that location at this time. There are metal tables and chairs immediately outside of the front door but I had been unwilling to sit outside in 35° weather so I took my sandwich to a nearby heated building to eat it. My food choice for yesterday had been a Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwich: "Farm-inspired and stacked with layers of flavor, the new Farmhouse Egg Sandwich, made with two fresh-cracked eggs, slices of savory peppered bacon, ham, cheddar cheese, and country pepper cream cheese on a toasted Cheesy Hash Brown Bagel provides a hearty start to the day." I had been given the choice of "one egg or two"; I chose one egg. I had been planning to attend a meeting at the Younkin Success Center [two doors to the north] within the next half hour so I took my Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwich to the meeting room [well before anyone else had arrived] and ate it there. My Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwich had been delicious but had been quite difficult to eat neatly because the top and the bottom layers of that sandwich had been sliding in different directions [certainly because that sandwich contains cream cheese]; in addition, small and medium-sized pieces of my sandwich would fall onto my table each time I would take a bite. Thankfully I had been able to clean up my table and wash my hands before anyone else had arrived for my meeting. If you are looking for a delicious sandwich and you are willing to eat it somewhere else, I recommend the Bruegger's Bagels at 1630 Neil Ave.

Awesome bagel sandwiches and the staff are always super friendly! They have been open for at least 9 years in this location so not really sure what one of the other reviewers is talking about when they say they would give it another try once it has been open for a couple of months... I'm guessing the review below is for a different bagel shop?
