Einstein Bros

It may not be a 5-​star restaurant, but it’s definitely a 5-​star Einstein’s. And 4,700% faster, friendlier and more organized than the Maryland location. You’ve won me over, Decatur. And long last, my first Unilocal review. Broke the seal. Carpe Shmear’em.

Got my free birthday egg sandwich great customer service, will definitely be back if in the area and need a quick breakfast.

Consistent and staff is always friendly. Love the new «toppers» menu addition. I had the veggie topper and salsa schmear with jalapeño and they were both was great. Their coffee is good too.

For a couple years this was the closest places to get a decent bagel while I was working in the area. Just a hop on the freeway and one exit over and I could be here if some mid-​morning muchies hit me during my week day.
It is in a convenient location and I never had a problem getting in and out quickly.
Einstein’s may not be THE best bagels in the world, since they are a chain, but the options are, of course, varied and delightful. Their coffee is not bad either.
Overall I will return when a bagel fix hits me.

After everything that has happened for the last few days, this was one of the first places my coworker wanted to visit after we got our rental car.
This was a nice place to unwind after the hustle and bustle of being on the strip for most of the week during my time at a conference. Bagels are absolutely delicious and quite cheap. The different spreads (known as schmears) they have for their bagels are also very varied, and delicious.
Unfortunately, for most of the conference I was very sick and was constantly hacking a lung. So I reached for a strawberry lemonade to help wake me up and soothe my throat, not knowing how much it was, and expecting to pay quite a bit. But nope! About $ 2, which is even cheaper than back home.
Also customer service was very friendly, even though there was a bit of a misunderstanding.
Nice and quiet (with the exception of me coughing. Sorry, everyone.) and perfect for a quick sit down snack or light meal.

I used to enjoy coming to this location. I think they must have changed management. I only visit about once every 2 – 3 months for staff meeting food. The energy is low with the employees. The manager has an apparent sour attitude. I seen her and another employee giving each other a look while serving a customer that may have been a little indecisive. It was very unprofessional. The other employee was not happy to be there herself. There is a few employees that are wonderful and they would be the only reason I would return.

Diana and Miguel just made my day! Nicest people and fabulous team! I will be back :)

Had the everything bagel and potato bagel with chive cream cheese and they were pretty good. They are not the traditional chewy style bagel but more of a soft pretzel texture which is ok as long as you like that kind. The service was good but they weren’t that busy either. They have a good selection but they don’t have my favorite which is salt bagel. If you want a authentic bagel go to Bagelmania on Twain.

Updating my review because, I’m here on Sunday for the first time and having a totally different experience than my previous visits. Food is fine, but those employees. As soon as I walked in, this girl at the counter just looked at me with no smile on her face. How about a good morning?! If you’re not feeling like it, smile is a least you can do. Everybody is kind of tired, so-​not-​wanting-​to-​be-​there kind of attitude. I mean, it’s the morning after 4^th of Jul and you could’ve just came here from where you were partying. But that’s none of my business! Didn’t nobody forced you to work here. Man! Can’t stand bad customer services.

Their smoothies are syrup not actual fruit, their orange juice is packaged to appear like it is fresh squeezed but it’s just concentrate it appears to be misrepresentation, the people there don’t care about it, and their prices are equivalent to a high end place. I would suggest they charge McDonald’s prices if they are give McDonald’s quality

Went this morning 4−16−15 to grab some bagels for the office.
I was panicking because I’d never been to this location before and I was hoping they were fast because I was almost late to work.
Within 60 seconds I was heading out the door with an assortment of 13 bagels and 2 shmears. They have boxes of them already made so all you have to do is pick out two cream cheeses and hit the road! They even put napkins and knives in the box. Genius. Plenty of friendly employees. This is dangerous!!! I’ll be going there all the time now! So I’ll be broke :(but happy :)
For $ 14.99 you get:
–3 plain
–2 cinnamon raisin
–2 honey whole wheat
–2 blueberry
–2 sesame
–2 asiago cheese
–2 shmears of your choice

My husband and I went here over the weekend. I had the southwest egg whites and turkey sausage breakfast sandwich and my husband had the ham, eggs and Swiss breakfast sandwich. We both loved out sandwiches. Then we ordered their mixed berry smoothie and it was delicious I loved that the worker gave us a little bit extra because she made too much! we will be back!

Been a while since I’ve been here. Although they fixed the mistakes they made, there were several. It would have been better if they didn’t MAKE the mistakes in the first place, though.
They are all very pleasant. Everyone seems to enjoy working there, which matters to me as a customer.
The drinks were good, hot, fresh, accurate. The Asparagus, cheese egg white thingy that I preferred with real eggs instead of whites, they forgot, remade it, then forgot the added cream cheese I already paid for. I gave up and just ate it. It was tasty, would have been really good with the cream cheese I paid for though. :/

Sahara & Decatur store has TERRIBLE management! After buying bagels and lox every Sunday morning for 10 years, for almost the past 2 months, the manager tells me that they have not received a packaged lox delivery for retail sale. All other stores say they get deliveries weekly. I don’t know what is going on there, but I will not go back until Einstein Corporate responds to my complaints submitted at their website:
How can you sell bagels, cream cheese, and NO LOX!!!

This place is a joke. Worst I’ve ever seen. Forgot our food, low quality and nobody cares. Fault in management and employees.
Go somewhere else

Stopped in about 7:30 on a Friday morning and just beat the crowd. It was a good thing because the service was slow and there was nobody in front of us. My order was simple. A self serve beverage and a toasted bagel with butter. The bagel came with plenty of butter, but was not toasted. Already disappointed with the wait time, the cold bagel only made matters worse. The manager scolding another employee in front of other employees and customers only added to an already sub par experience. As always, I am not opposed to giving them another shot to see if it gets any better.

My bagels were delicious, yes I ate two at once.
One cinnamon sugar and one honey whole wheat.
Both with their honey almond shmear. I wanted both toasted but only 1 came toasted. Still tasted great though. The cinnamon bagel was delicious I will definitely get it again if I go back.
I was there around 1 pm and it wasn’t really busy but it sure felt like it because there was only 1 cashier and 1 girl for preparation.
I felt bad for the girl who was preparing everything. She did absolutely amazing I would have been so frustrated if I were her.
They need to have more employees or at least a manager who monitors the flow and who is willing to lend a hand when things get overwhelming. It took about 20 minutes to get my two bagels.
Which kind of sucked honestly because I had a drive back to San Diego and I stopped there thinking I’ll just grab a quick bagel it will only take a couple minutes.
I had a coupon which they honored which was awesome. Some places are difficult when customers use coupons.
I hope they get more help just so things run smoother.

It’s a regular bagel and coffee chain joint. The only reason I’m writing is because the staff is so nice. And free wifi and coffee refills are pretty sweet too.
When it’s nice, hit out the large outdoor seating area.

They got great bagel/​sandwiches, bagel spread and coffee drinks here.
Lately, they got this «bagel thin lunch» where there’s two (one for breakfast and one for lunch) kinds of bagel sandwiches for under 350 calories. Once I saw that I was like, whether if it taste good or not… I’ll take it.
It was called a Bagel Thin Club. There’s turkey, avocado, tomatoes and onions. To my surprise, it was DELICIOUS! Whenever I come here, this is what I will get.
Also, their coffee drinks are pretty good here too.
I personally love their bagel spread. It’s 25% (i think) reduce fat than regular cream cheese and their Sun-​dried Tomato spread was really flavorful. Salmon was good too.
Open for breakfast and lunch hours only.
Convenient and close to where I live… pretty good food and drinks… here’s 5 stars to ya Einstein Bros!

On my way to Springs Preserve, I was about to stop off at Starbuck’s for my caffeine fix. When I saw the sign for Einstein Bagels, I passed over Starbuck’s.
The fact that I passed over Starbuck’s for Einstein Bagels is testimony that their coffee and value is better. For $ 2 more than Starbuck’s, I brought bottomless coffee and a toasted bagel with cream cheese. Let me say that Einstein Bagel’s Coffee is underrated. If I was to come up with a list of underrated places, Einstein Bagel’s coffee would be on it. There were four blends of coffee, including Autumn Blend, Neighborhood blend, and decaf. I know that the coffee is good when I pass over mixing in flavored syrup to add flavor to it. Regardless they fall short of the goodness of New York bagels, they come close. By the way, I recommend the toasted blueberry bagel.
Whereas Einstein Bagels is a great value when you order a bagel with coffee, the value factor decreases when you order higher priced items. My complaint about Einstein Bagels, which I addressed in previous reviews, is not including a side item such as potato chips or potato salad with the sandwich. I believe that their customer base would grow if they included a side item.
I have a mixed opinion as far as service. The employees were friendly at the same time that it seemed understaffed. One employee juggling the order line and register line resulted in an extended line. Eventually the manager would help out at the order line. If I had an important place to be, it is strong possibility I would’ve walked over to Starbuck’s.
Because the lobby is large with lots of tables and windows, it is an inviting place to relax with a coffee and bagel. The noise level is average.
I am not loyal to one bagel establishment. My mood will determine if I return to this location if I am in the vicinity of Decatur at Sahara.
