Einstein Brothers Bagels

Seriously? This is the worst nova lox sandwich I’ve seen
Doesn’t look anything like on the picture they advertise. And I love Einstein bagel but this is s let down for an $ 8 sandwich with tiny pieces of lox and huge pieces of onion

Ok, the closest bagels we found in our location. As a New Yorker, our expectations are sky high! And hands down the freshest bagels we’ve had in a while. They’re just how you want ‘em nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! The varieties are like non I’ve seen anywhere else! I had the protein bread toasted with butter and my mouth literally waters as I remember it! If you’re in the area go ahead and buy some, we will be on our way there soon!

Always a good place to grab a bite. They also have some decent coffee. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I have yet to try all the different bagels and schmears. Bagels are always fresh and there is plenty of seating.

I ordered online and everything was ready for me by the time I got there. I love the bagels and the cream cheese is SO good.

Don’t expect them to heat the meat. My wife is pregnant so the only way she can eat deli meat is if it is heated very hot. I asked the girl who took my order if she can do this and she said yes and told the other making the sandwich to heat the turkey. She did not. Luckily I saw it and did it myself at home. What would have happened if I didn’t see the girl make my wifes sandwich. My unborn child could have been at risk

The bagels here are just not my favorite. The inner and out texture is not the style of bagel I prefer. The food here is alright but not great. I have come here a few times out of desperation for a bagel when I don’t have time to get one elsewhere.
Staff is average and gets the job done but with no special kindness. Bagels take a few minutes to be cut, toasted, and topped with your choice of shmear, meat, or whatnot. Sometimes my bagel is barely toasted. Other times it is burnt. You really can’t count on much at this location. The one in Winter Park is at least better about that sort of thing.
I personally prefer the local Bagel King’s style but they are in Casselberry which is too far for me during the week.
I’ll probably be back her sometime but not because I like it. They have a great location so I think that saves them here.

These guys have great bagels and the employees there are very pleasant to deal with. Their coffee is pretty good too.
My favorite thing about them is that they open super early (5am on weekdays and 6am on weekends). Sometimes if I am running an early race or my sleeping schedule is messed up from a trip abroad I will be up and craving breakfast around these times. So that’s nice and convenient.
Their egg sandwiches are pretty good and so are their pastries, but it’s the «everything» bagels (sometimes I throw their cream cheese schmear on top) that I like the best.

They have a great selection of bagels and spreads. Their coffee is worth going for all by itself. The service not all that great… a little unorganized.

New Management!!! New Owners!!! The property was a mess. Employees were not happy or courteous. I actually felt we could have received better service at the McDonald’s across the street! Not many tables. And what is happening with people bringing their officework/​homework to a restaurant? We came here to eat. This is not a library. We bought food, but had no table to sit and eat! Where is the crew from last year?

Did a pick up on a catered order and it went really smooth. The order was ready to go and the staff was friendly. Bagels were delicious and you have to try the almond honey spread. Yummy! The only thing that was lacking was the online ordering website. It is really slow and definitely needs some work.

I love Einsteins but the service is very poor at this location. They always mess up my order no matter how often I go. There was one time when I called the manager to complain and instead of apologizing me he argued by saying he was «understaffed and slammed». I had to basically convince him that he needed to refund me for my meal because all 3 of the bagels that I ordered were made incorrectly and even charged me for a 4^th one I didn’t order. I love Einsteins but this location is horrible…

WARNING OUT OF BAGELS!!! Just left with no Bagels. This place constantly runs out of Bagels almost everytime I stop here. Waste of time and gas. I will never come here again. There is a Dunkin Donuts across the street. Always have stock, employees are nicer, and food is a little better.

Nice service, friendly guys. Clean.

I concur with so many here.
I went to an Einstein Bros. in Austin once — the line was piling up, but nobody was getting food. The manager ultimately broke down, started wailing, and closed the restaurant until they got caught up.
THAT Einsteins is like a Swiss Watchmaker’s shop compared to this one.
Do they train anybody? Does anybody there have any restaurant experience? Any ability to form cogent thought?
I haven’t seen such mismanagement since the Corleone family sent brother Fredo to run the Nevada operation.
Ever heard the expression «it’s like watching two monkeys trying to hump the same football?» Except it’s a bagel.
The store manager is about as organized as an octopus falling out of a tree.
Okay, you get it. Never once has it taken less than 15 minutes to get a bagel sandwich. Yes, they’re good, but no bagel is worth watching this swirling toilet bowl of clumsiness.
A Lenders bagel and a kick in the groin is about the same.
Rant over.

It’s Pumpkin time!!! Pumpkin bagels, Pumpkin cream cheese, Pumpkin walnut topped bagels, Pumpkin pull apart muffins, Pumpkin latte, etc. I love this time of year just for pumpkin!!!
Sadly I wanted to take home a dz. bagels but at 2:00 on a Sat. there were very little bagels and no pumpkin anything. OY! I asked the young lady behind the counter if there would be anymore pumpkin bagels made before they close and she said there might be some in an hour but no guarantee. So I went to lunch in the mean time and kept my fingers crossed.
Upon returning, the GM greeted me and pointed out that she over heard me and made 5 each of 6 different types of bagels. Surprise!!! She was so kind and informed me that in the future if there’s ever any certain bagels I’d like to just call her ahead of time as it only takes 30 mins. to cook them.
I fell in love w/​Einsteins all over again! Yay!
Don’t forget your punch card.

Home of the longest. waits. ever. for simply sticking bagels in a bag. Even longer for prepared food. It’s so difficult to find salt bagels around downtown that I put up with it, though. The 20% off coupons I often randomly find in my mailbox are helpful when splurging on a fancy sammich (spinach + bacon egg panini is a fave).

We were in the area and thought why not? We wandered in but parking was tough. Fortunately someone was walking out. There is more here than just bagels. They have a decent selection of spreads to go on bagels, panninis, sandwiches and soups. The dinning area isn’t very large either so it is a perfect location to pick up a togo order, though if you are planning on dinning in you may have to wait a few mintues before getting a table, we lucked out and another patron left just in time. They offer chips or bananas for sides which is a nice healthy alternative.
Overall, the food was good but parking and seating may be a challenge.

Of many of the Starbucks’esque breakfast shops around this is one of the better ones. It has some pretty unique breakfast fare compared to the standard McDonalds or other fast food, Eggwhite chipolte panini (or something like that) I tried. very tasty but a bit small for my taste. I do eat alot though so it would be fine for an average appetite.
What I liked about this particular location the most is that it reminded me of a neighborhood NYC deli with all the ‘goofings and carryingons. and such’ by the employees… all very personable and seemingly enjoying their jobs, which give me a good indication it is not a gulag of a place to work. Not a fan of «nose egg surprise» in my meal by an unhappy employee you would get at other fast food places I am sure.
The coffee was also well made, not double brewed and bitter like Starschmucks but the light brew was smooth and mellow.
I would suggest checking it out for a change of pace. live a little bit ferchrisssake!

Been here a few times over the years, most recently this past Sunday. I picked up 4 bagels and a coffee and used a 20% off coupon, which made my total $ 5.36. Not a bad deal! The bagels were excellent, which has been true of every bagel I’ve had from every Einstein store I’ve been to.
The employees here were very friendly. I didn’t notice anything wrong with the store — it appeared to be clean and well-​organized. It was pretty busy when I was here this past weekend and I was very hungry and couldn’t wait to get home and have a bagel, so I didn’t pay a ton of attention to what was going on in the store during my recent visit. I did notice how nice all of the employees with whom I interacted were, though. All of them thanked me for coming in and were very pleasant.
I would be by at this store more often if I lived closer to it, but as the way things currently are I probably will go to the stores in Lake Mary and Altamonte Springs for the time being.
Four stars for now.

I admit, I had to resign myself to parking the car and actually walking into the shop in order to get breakfast. I could not believe this place did not have a drive through window.
I got over it. I think the process would be much easier if people knew what they wanted when they ordered.
I wanted to try bagel sandwiches made with egg whites with thin bagels. the draw was of course, that the sandwich itself — made with asparagus, Swiss, and egg white is supposedly less than 450 cal. So, the thing is, when you’re ordering a light bagel sandwich, in order for it to have that few calories, it is going to be a very small sandwich.
Especially if you are used to the traditional size bagel sandwiches here — it might be a little bit shocking. It was okay — but definitely not something I would repeat again — especially for the money I paid. Otherwise, it was an okay meal. I got fed, and that was the purpose.
