Einstein Bros. Bagels is the perfect stop for a quick but satisfying breakfast or lunch. The bagels are always fresh, chewy on the outside, and soft on the inside—exactly how they should be. They’ve got a huge variety of flavors, and their schmears (hello, honey almond!) are always on point.
I also love their breakfast sandwiches—hearty, flavorful, and way better than your typical fast-food option. The coffee is solid too, making it an easy one-stop shop to grab everything you need to start the day.
The staff here is friendly and efficient, even when the line gets long, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot when you’re craving a great bagel done right.

Burnt my order of cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and messed up my morning! Then nobody bothers to answer my call to complain and get a refund. Ain’t going back there for nothing. I’d rather go to The Bagel Shack on Alton, dude!

Our family visits this bagel restaurant from time to time, and it’s always a pleasant experience. The place is consistently clean, and the staff always welcomes us with bright smiles. We’re always satisfied with their kindness and the freshness of the bagels—and today was no exception.
On our visit on July 19, we were especially impressed by a Hispanic male employee with black hair and a blue T-shirt (unfortunately, we didn’t get his name). He was incredibly kind, explaining our options clearly and serving us with genuine care. Thanks to him, our Saturday morning started off wonderfully.

Good place to grab and go, selection was plenty but sometimes just confusing to figure out their offerings. Like other Einsteins the Bagels were excellent, cleanliness could be better, maybe unable to handle the 20 people that were there in a small space

Fresh bagels with a nice bite and chew. Expect to wait a few minutes. Lines along the coffee area isn't the best interior design. Well positioned kiosks for self order could help. There is a wide selection of bagels and staff quickly works towards completing the orders. Yummy bagels, muffins and other baked goodies.

As always the bagels and cream cheese were excellent! The outside area was nice and breezy to sit in. My favorites are Asiago, everything and sesame. They have sweet bagels as well. The coffee was very sad. It was towards closing time. If you are going to sell coffee then don't sell lukewarm old coffee! Place was quite empty but still needed cleaning. Management please look into this.

I’m a regular customer and I usually order through the app, and sometimes I'll eat my bagels at the shop. On Sunday, I ordered a gourmet bagel brunch box with a large coffee. When I received my order, two things were missing, my muffin and the coffee. It was a bit frustrating because the whole order just felt rushed and the food didn’t really taste too good this time. It was hard getting their attention to let them know I was missing items and overall, they just seem in a hurry. Not sure if they’re understaffed. But the customer service isn’t the best. I felt like I was bothering them even though I was the one missing items. Not only that, I wanted to sit down and enjoy my coffee and bagel, but all of the tables were really dirty and there were crumbs everywhere, including the tables outside. Not very welcoming.
Went in Memorial Day, disappointing. Manager looked cranky and seemed to ignore the long line to register. Note to manager who doesn’t seem to care, if you run a bagel special on Mondays and you stopped that special, maybe consider telling customers, who specifically asked for the dozen special, that promo changed…before they order, have the bagels sliced in half and find out at register.

The bagels were fresh, soft and tasty. The atmosphere was warm and clean, The service was attentive and appropriate, and most of all - did I mention, the bagels were soft yet toasty and tasty.

I felt really bad for the cashier she had a line almost out the door and I see people in the back standing there not doing anything not only that she was the only one reloading bagels for the customers. I think they need to take a look at their processes to make it quicker for customers. I ordered 2 bagels and it took 15 minutes.
Rude customer service
