Which they would use REAL Shaved Chocolate in their Mocha Coffee like Caribou Coffee since they serve Caribou Coffee! The liquid pump syrup I'm not a fan of. The Service was Great, however !!

The best choices are brisket bagel and the bagel and gravy sausage.
Everything else is good too. The place makes me think: of the Panera Bread bagel edition. - 4 stars because I guess bagels just don't do it for me. I'd rather go to Panera. I tried a lot of their menu.
Also wanted to add I hate Google reviews, and my review is more for me than you - people of the internet you need to know, that certain 5-star places that hawk their reviews are just getting all bad reviews removed and maintaining a 5-star when they a lie, while places such as Einstein bagels bigger corporate places have bad reviews when they aren't awful or unworthy of being shopped at. Our review system sucks.

This was my first time going to Einstein bagels. I had picked up a DoorDash yesterday and it smells so good. I decided to try it. I got recommended a cold brew frappe which was delicious. They couldn’t have picked a better option, but the whole reason I went was to try some of the Schmear‘s. I got a classic bagel, bacon, egg and cheese and decided to add avocado and the garden Schmear I get back home and there’s no Schmear on my bagel. The whole reason I went was for that other than that the service was amazing and my drink was excellent. I’ll be going back but will be checking my order before I leave. Got a dog bagel for my dog since he just got out of the vet, but I get home and it’s hard as a rock. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be like that, but she can’t even eat it.
The food I ordered today was all tasty not going to lie but it wasn’t my correct order. If I order and cinnamon sugar bagel and a maple French toast bagels than I should definitely get that instead of blueberry bagels. Blueberry is great and all but it’s totally not what I ordered.
I stopped by this place recently and was genuinely impressed. I ordered the breakfast bagel sandwich, and it absolutely hit the spot—fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of savory to kickstart the morning. You can tell they care about quality because the ingredients tasted fresh, and the sandwich was made with attention to detail, not something just thrown together.
What really stood out to me, beyond the food, was the overall vibe. The service was warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel effortless. I was in and out quickly, but not in a rushed or impersonal way. The staff seemed genuinely happy to be there, which you don’t always see these days. It made the visit feel more personal.
Another thing I appreciated was the variety on the menu. It’s always nice when a place offers multiple solid options rather than just one or two standouts. Whether you’re craving something hearty or a bit lighter, they seem to have something for everyone.
That said, I do wish there was some indoor seating. There’s definitely enough space inside for a couple of small tables or a counter along the wall. Right now, the setup is very much geared toward grab-and-go—order at the counter, pay, and take your food with you. While I get the concept and it works for those in a hurry, having the option to sit down and enjoy your meal, especially on colder or rainy days, would really elevate the experience.
All in all, this is a great little gem, and I’m already planning to make it a regular stop. It’s convenient, the food is excellent, and the customer service is on point. With just a small tweak in seating, I think it could easily become a local favorite for both quick bites and casual hangouts.
Don't expect to get your food warm.
They took all the tables out. I was looking for a place to sit and work for a bit.
No seating

Bagels were fresh, service was friendly and quick. This location is my favorite, can definitely tell a difference between those and the others in kc.
They have space for indoor dining but refuse to let you use it. Post pandemic laziness..

No consistency on quality control for food. Sometimes I come here and get tons of cream cheese on my bagel and other times there's not even enough on it to cover the whole thing. I don't like going places where it's a roulette whether or not I'm going to enjoy my food. Also anytime I order toasted on the app they never bother to toast my bagel. Think I'll find a different bagel place from now on.
Why would they not have any tables?? A giant empty room like it's 2021?.
