I’ve been here a handful of times to either grab a few half dozen of bagels for visitors or scoopy a quick hot coffee for the work day. My favorite thing about this place is the coffee — I would recommend trying the iced coffee with a little bit of half and half, it’s my boyfriend and my favorite place to get cold coffee.
The bagels are pretty good. Nothing to complain about but nothing to squeal about either. They generally have a really good selection, so you can find anything you’re looking for, which is really nice! I love the everything, asiago, and cinnamon. Now i’m getting hungry just writing about it.
One of my favorite parts about this place is they are super quick. Don’t expect to wait in line for long at all, even if it’s wrapped around the venue. They don’t like to make people late to work, which I really appreciate!

I have given this place a few times to redeem itself but failed me for the last time. The manager made my sandwich wrong and after blaming the cashier told her to refund my money instead of making me another sandwich the correct way. The first bagel I got was the same size as the dog bagels they offer, the place was a mess. I will never go back

I work in a school and due to budget, the only way we can run events is by receiving donations/​help from local restaurants. I have worked with other Einstein’s locations in the past and they have been wonderful. I live down the street from this location so was hoping to be able to have an easier pickup. I called in around 10:30am and was asked to «call back, we are in the middle of a breakfast rush.» I spoke with Amanda from the Downing and Evans store. I do apologize Amanda, but I am also with students most of the day and find rare opportunities to be able to get on the phone during business hours. I would hope that this review finds it’s way into the hands of a manager at that store so they can emphasize the importance of customer service… I live within walking distance and due to this rude demeanor, I will now walk further to choose a different breakfast spot.

Coffee was cold. That’s just messed up. It also didn’t have a great taste.
Bagels are smaller than they used to be. They use less schmear than they used to. Bottom line must be struggling at Einstein Corp.

I used to go to this place EVERY Friday morning. The customer service was great and everything was always good.
They’ve completely fallen apart. The place is messy. The coffee station is always a complete tornado. Always out of half and half (seriously, like 95% of the time). I had to wipe off my own table last time. And while all this mess was going on, one employee put her coat on and went outside for about 15 minutes. A break? A phone call? To smoke? Idk… then to top of off they gave me a TINY little runt of a bagel and when I said something to the manager she said it was average and made no attempt to make me another or anything.
Totally unacceptable and this location is officially boycotted!

Customer service wasn’t on the menu this past Black Friday morning. I ordered a chai tea latte and a lox and bagel. The same guy took my order, made my drink, and rang up the sale. The chai latte, which turned out to be way more milk than chai, was presented to me with the lid covered in milk. I asked for another lid and was told I could help myself at the condiment bar around the corner. I was also disappointed by the two sad little thin slices of lox on my bagel. I’ll definitely skip this Einstein location in the future.

If there was a zero star option I would choose that. We eat here a lot since it’s right across the street from our office. It’s run by people who seem to have no idea what they’re doing, and who constantly make us wait 15+ minutes, and still manage to screw up orders. They all seem to be a little crackhead/​stoner-​ish. I would avoid it if it weren’t my only convenient option.

I gave this location three chances. Each time my toasted plain bagel with cream cheese was either smashed, wrong type, or not toasted. No more chances.

It’s a chain, but it’s on my way to work and it has coffee and delicious bagels in one stop. I have noticed what others have said about the service. Some days it’s hit or miss.
I love their bagels and they have many different flavors. Their shmears are also pretty tasty. I usually try to get one of their reduced fat ones and reduce the guilt a bit. I have also had their sandwiches and they aren’t bad at all.
The coffee is ok. It’s gets me through the mornings, but it’s nothing to really brag about. Though they do have one during the holiday season that is pretty amazing!

This place, man…
It fell short of my expectations. I was really looking forward to a warm, toasted bagel this morning. And here I thought, I was on a roll with my choices in Denver!
I don’t know if it was just me, but when I first stepped in, there was an uncomfortable aroma lingering in the restaurant. Made me uneasy… And I just wasn’t as excited to eat there anymore, but decided to give it a try anyways.
Although I was in a rush, I did mention to the cashier that it was my first time and I asked for her suggestions. She wasn’t very helpful and so I just took a leap of faith! I ordered two things: strawberry cream cheese bagel and a bacon and cheddar inside a blueberry bagel. That second one… MAAAN. That was GEWWWD~~ but that’s all there was to the place!

Rude and messed up both our orders. The perfection combo! Avoid!

I don’t know why I love there bagels so much, but I certainly do. I think they are perfectly chewy and scrumptious. I always get the Asiago with Chive smearage. Their coffee is strong and I’m a huge fan of every one of these I have visited.

I go here at least 3 times a week and it’s great. They remember my order and name as do they for a bunch of other people. It’s definitely better than some of their other locations.

Out of Onion bagels
Out of the Neighborhood Brew
Out of half & half
But…
They quickly had onion bagels up, filled the half & half, and had the coffee brewing. It hardly took any time at all. The staff was friendly and approachable.
The bagels are yumm… nice and fresh. The schmears are packed full of flavor. What I like to order-​onion bagel with garlic herb schmear (breath mint please) or the onion bagel with smoked salmon schmear. It’s cheaper than getting the lox bagel and tastes almost better. I like the garlic and everything bagel, but they are quick strong in their flavor and found the onion bagel is just right.

I don’t normally review chains… they are supposed to be formulaic and predictable, which is why you either like them or avoid them. But I walked over here to have a snack while waiting for my car to be serviced down the road. One of the employees was pleased to tell me that they had recently set up WiFi. That was great to hear, except it was extraordinarily slow… none of my e-​mail downloaded to my laptop in the 20 minutes I was there, surfing the web was painstaking. And I noticed there were no outlets to plug into, so if you needed to park yourself somewhere for a few hours, be sure your battery is charged.

I should come to this place more often. It’s only a 10 minute walk for 3 minute drive from me, so I’ll pop in here for breakfast on early mornings when I need something to get me going.
What really makes this location is the staff-they’re always ready to greet you and make sure they have your order right. They’re genuinely friendly and helpful, and will remember you and greet you by name if you go enough.
If you’re looking for a bagel stop in the DU area, look no further-​the staff at this Einstein Bros puts it head and shoulders above other places in the area like Breuggers Bagels.

Half-​baked brownies? Delicious. Half-​baked cookies? Yum! Half-​baked bagels? No, thank you. My green chile bagel from Einstein’s was completely doughy in the middle, and I didn’t realize it until I was already home. I can’t believe they didn’t notice the pale, gooey center before they sold it to me for a ridiculous price.

I have the great misfortune of this Einstein’s being closest to my house. Which now means I wont be having Einsteins for a quick bite to eat unless I am far, far away. Went this am to get some bfast and it was screwed up beyond belief. I ordered a skinny caramel macchiato and they said, «We don’t have sugar free Caramel sauce.» «That’s okay, because this drink is made with vanilla syrup.» Disappointed that I had to tell them how to make their own coffee, but thought that I had it straightened out. I got my coffee and instead of regular Caramel syrup OR sugar free vanilla it just didn’t have any syrup at all. Lovely. But the absolute worst offense was that they put sausage on my VEGETARIAN husband’s wrap. He actually bit into it before he realized it. That mistake is too great to forgive and we won’t be rolling the dice with this location any more– we’ll just got the extra mile to Bruegger’s instead.

i don’t think we have these in Boston, but this place was pretty good for a chain. i got a yummy egg, spinach and cheese sandwich on some kind of ciabatta bread or something and it took care of my i’ve-been-on-a-plane-for-hours hunger.
Can’t comment on the actual service because my husband ran in to get it for me… I’m not even sure if I was at this particular Einstein. It was just kinda yummy. That’s all.

The bagel shop closest to my house and school, I go to this Einsteins occasionally when I want some good, simple eats. The breakfast bagels are particularly scrumptious.
Orange juice is lacking, though.
