Einstein Bros. Bagels

Located within the student union, this location operates like a well lubed machine. Between classes the line gets extremely long but you can tell the staff does not panic and just works through it, which makes for a quick turn around time for your bagel or sandwich. The staff seems extremely friendly from my experience. If you have been to an einstein before, you’ll know what to expect. Great quality bagels.

Long lines in the mornings between class end and class start times. This locations is located within the student union building and is staffed primarily by college students. Sometimes I feel like this may be a first job for some of them as they don’t really put much effort into getting orders accurate, asking the appropriate order questions (do you want that toasted? What is your name for this order? etc.) It is hit or miss every time I come in. Some days I get a great cashier who is friendly and totally on top of it, other days like today, I get a casher who forgot to pass my order along so my pre-​made item i just asked to be heated was neglected and the people who had ordered after me came and went.
Aside from the service, the quality of the bagels is great. I love how soft and chewy they can me and the cream cheese is always well spread and in a perfect amount. Not the usual ball of cream cheese smashed between the two slices you will get at other places. They offer a great variety of fresh bagels as well as other yummy baked goods (cinnamon twists, scones, muffins.). I also really enjoy their iced coffee :)
All in all, they serve a great bagel but you may end up waiting a while to get it.
