Bruegger’s Bagels – Wakefield Commons

Bruegger’s Bagels at Wakefield Commons is in north Raleigh, off Wakefield Commons Drive. Bagels are baked fresh, and there are gourmet kinds next to the plain ones. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are made at the counter, and coffee is on hand.

Pumpkin bagels turn up in the fall, part of a rotation of seasonal flavors. The chain has been making New York-style bagels for more than 40 years. Bagels here are kettle-boiled, and the cream cheeses are made in Vermont. Signature recipes shape the sandwich menu.
