Einstein Bros Bagels Reviews
I stop in for breakfast at the Lake Forest location about once per month. Always get the same thing: lox on a bagel. I have noticed that the quality of the preparation has significantly eroded since COVID hit. Perhaps they are unable to hire and retain qualified people. The past few times the sandwich was very sloppily assembled and bagel under-toasted.
Wrong order last two times I've gone, don't do order to pickup or you'll just wait longer. Go in line so you know your order is right and you'll get food faster.

Sometimes the greens aren't too fresh. The food is alright but my biggest issue is with the pay kiosk. Why the heck is it asking for a tip? Do you not pay employees? Why are you asking for a tip before my sandwich is even made? There's no way to predict how well the service is. Plus if you don't tip well enough you get to fear someone tampering with your sandwich. Just pay the employees. Makes me avoid the store mostly.
