OMG!!! I order The Farmhouse and it was delicious. This is my third time going to Einstein and each time I ordered the Farmhouse with one egg scrambled on a plain bagel. I'm not even sure if they actually scramble the egg or not but it is simply divine... I just recently found out that they had a point system I wish I had known about it from the beginning I would have signed up. How do I go about getting points for back orders if that is possible. This review is for the Charleston location. The ladies there are fabulous!!!

Just about the slowest service I’ve ever seen. I ordered an untoasted bagel with cream cheese on the way back from my class ending at 10:30 and didn’t get it until 11:43. Do not come here unless you have an entire hour to spend waiting.

they NEVER have the chicken salad bagel. they probably have it twice a week out of 7 days. it’s my favorite thing on the menu and they never have it and idk why but it’s so annoying.

Good luck getting a bagel within an hour of ordering it.

I've never been here. I came to the reviews to see if I wanted to visit and am glad I did. I will not be visiting. I'm in Columbia visiting from Charlotte and I love Einstein Bagels and never paid $5.00 for a bagel and cream cheese. I can get 2 in Charlotte for $5.00. This is sad and sickening. Definitely taking advantage of college students.

I left my phone at home which had my CarolinaCard and other cards in it, so I asked to pay in cash. The assistant manager had forgotten the cash tray today so she paid for my bagel! It brightened my day and I will be paying it forward today. Very understanding staff and quick service.

As I type this, I have been waiting for at least 30 minutes on a one item order. I won't come here again.Food was good though.

It is okay not so bad bagels.

Workers at Russel and actually terrible. Soooo rude and slow
The food is good, but they're crazy slow. Expect to wait 30 minutes or longer from the time you get in line to when you finally get your order.

The bagels here are great when they actually make them. The workers are nice and don't slack, but you can tell they're understaffed. They usually only have one worker preparing GrubHub orders when there should at least be two or three. It's quicker to go through the line than through the app, which makes no sense at all. You can wait over an hour after ordering on GrubHub, and your order still won't be ready. Like I said, the bagels themselves taste great, but it's like flipping a coin on whether or not you'll get one.

Today I ordered on GrubHub at 1:40 so my bagel would hopefully be ready by the time I got out of class at 2:00 (because they are so slow). Once I walked to Einstein, my one bagel with cream cheese wasn't ready yet. I waited for about 10 minutes and asked one of the employees and they said they would get it ready for me. It took them until 2:15 to tell me they were out of the bagel I wanted. So I picked a different bagel and was told again, they would get it ready for me. I ended up leaving at 2:25, 50 minutes after my order was put in, EMPTY HANDED because I had a meeting I would be late for. I don't understand how hard it is to toast and put cream cheese on a bagel.

First time here... I was a little confused because I ordered at one register and then was sent to another to pay.I ordered the avocado toast on an egg bagel. It was okay... the bagel I don't believe was toasted. The bagel was soft but it would've been nice if it was toasted. Over all the it was okay.The girl at the second register, did tell me about their rewards program, I might look into it.

Fantastic bagels! Everything bagels aren't my thing, but they're pretty good here. Personally, I'd recommend the honey wheat bagel with honey almond shmear and the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese or strawberry shmear, but everything is quite good, including bagel sandwiches and coffee. My only knock on this place is that some of the bagels/bagel and shmear combos are overly sweet or savory (like the cinnamon sugar with the maple shmear) and the everything bagel with anything but cream cheese. Overall, good.
