Einstein Bros

I go between about 4 different Einstein’s but this location is my Fav thus far!
Why is that you ask? Well it all starts with the fact that they know how to speak and act as if the employees actually like each other. They have a couple of wrought iron tables to relax in the sun and get your vitamin D for the day.
Yes, it can be a tad bit pricey but hell all good food it’s getting high honestly. If you want cheap find a dollar menu at McDees, Or Burger King– Where you can have it your inexpensive way, Eh? Parking can be tricky but it is free if you are lucky!
FYI– My favorite is the Almond Spread with Raisin bagel… Hyymm Hyymmm– Toasted Please with OJ, Belisimo way to start my day!!!

I come here because it is on my way to work and the closest thing around. I stopped coming for awhile because every time I do I am disappointed. Unless you are buying a box to go and cream cheese mistakes are plentiful.
My husband and I went a few months back, ordered two sandwiches. When we asked a girl working some questions and she didn’t respond, spaced out, and was rude when she did. We didn’t say anything and left. We got home and they were the wrong sandwiches! We called in and thankfully the manager gave us a free sandwich on our next visit. Mistakes happen, whatever.
Every time I go in I ask for a toasted bagel. I EMPHASIZE I want it toasted and I don’t know what they do but every time it comes out doughy and the butter wont even melt its so cold, pictures attached. It should be hot enough to melt butter right? Should be toasty and not slightly warm.
I ordered a hazelnut mocha last week, the guy that takes the orders argued they only sell hazelnut lattes. I pointed at the sign and he wouldn’t turn around. He called someone else over and they repeated they only have hazelnut vanilla lattes. Finally he was like «oh here it is» and I go to pay. The girl was at the register and when reading the order she says” and a vanilla latte.” No a hazelnut mocha. «We don’t have that.» I point over her shoulder at the 1 of only 5 drinks available, she also doesn’t turn around. We can make a latte and add chocolate. She says, finally she makes the drink and I am watching her. Hot milk, chocolate and 1 pump of hazelnut. No coffee, not nearly enough hazelnut. I told her what was missing and she adds another pump. The guy behind me said «You have to teach them how to make coffee?»
I try not to complain a lot. I love bagels and have been a customer of Einstein for yrs but this location is always messing up. Like I said, unless I am buying a box to go and make myself, not so great.

Einstein’s does NOT boil it’s bagels.
So: Einstein’s does not sell bagels.
They sell bread shaped into an O shape
No matter how much stuff you smear on ‘em — being nice giving even two stars

Vanilla hazelnut drip coffee is worth coming for every weekend. Cozy enough place such that a crossword group of about 6 show up daily at the Hillcrest location.

This store gets THE WORST customers and they all handle themselves and the situations so well. Bravo

I just moved into the area and this is the closest Einsteins. We walked in at 2:40 and they had the smallest/​nastiest selection of bagels in the case. I politely asked the woman behind the counter if they would be making any other bagels soon, she turns to me and goes «we close in ten minutes» and just turns around. Who knew I would get that much attitude for asking about a freaking bagel.
By the way, your Unilocal says you close at 4, not 3. My mistake for even bringing my business here. Won’t be back.

Extremely terrible service by the staff at this location.
Wil Clark and Abby they were very rude and unprofessional. No wonder when I was there, this place was empty.
I love Einstein bagels. Never again this location.

I used to be a loyal patron to this place, 3−4x a week, I order the same bakers box and a box of dark roast coffee for my office staff… well, they lost my business today… Not only are they rude when you call to let thm know their abou their mistake, they also won’t give you a courtesy delivery for items YOU PAID for and THEY forgot to add to your box and EXPECT you to go back out of your way to retrieve their f@#$ up when they have a delivery service that can easily swing by and drop off on their way to their next route. Loyal customers clearly holds no value in this establishment.

The staff here was amazing, little did I know they changed the menu and I walked in and ordered my usual-​veg out on jalapeño, extra toasted– to my surprise when I bit into my sandwich I got a huge bite of hummus, yuck!!! Apparently the veg out is now the hummus veg out, when I asked the staff for a side of cream cheese to attempt to cover up the taste of the hummus they immediately made me a new one the «old way» with out even bating an eye. To the owners of this location, your staff handled the situation with class, it’s nice to walk into a place with great customer service these days and I will gladly make the drive to this location because of the customer service.

I only buy my bagels from Einstein Bros, they are always fresh and super soft. They have different spreads to choose from, I like the vegetable spread and the plain. They also carry honey, strawberry and blueberry. These bagels won’t last long at the office. Brought in a dozen to work and they were gone in seconds. I’ve ordered green bagels for St. Patrick’s day too. Love these bagels!

My deli turkey sandwich didn’t have turkey… But when I looked at my receipt they didn’t charge so I can’t be that mad. But my lunch sucked lol I’ll still go back and just double confirm my order.

For a semi fast food type place, their sandwiches are pretty good. It is a quick place to grab a bite if you don’t care about carbs. The service is friendly and the place itself is clean. You need a code to use the restroom, which I would have posted on here if I remembered it.

When in the area and needing a quick bite I typically find myself in a lengthy line at Starbucks, but today Einstein Bros caught my attention so in I went and I was not disappointed! When you walk in the first thing you’ll notice is plenty of comfortable seating including a counter bar with electrical outlets to charge your electronics. Great place to write a Unilocal review. ;P
Rounding the corner you encounter a couple of friendly looking employees ready to take your order and offer a suggestion if need be. I decided on the Toasted Spinach Florentine w/​Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese. YASSS! In addition to being f**king delicious, it was toasted to perfection; not too crunchy, but more than just a warm bagel. I officially have a new favorite bagel. It 100% blew Starbucks’ bagels out of the water.
Still lingering on the traces of my bagel-​high, I inquired as to their catering for a gathering I’m having on Sunday for about 2 dozen people and they set me up with all my bagel needs on the spot along with a variety of flavored cream cheeses and a coffee carafe. Score! That saves me the hassle of an additional trip to the grocery store and all that preparation. The price was totally reasonable, too!
After you place your order, they take your name and you meander a bit to the right to finish up payment. The cashier cheerily greets you by name. Nice touch, guys. :) By the time I finished checking out my bagel was ready for feasting. Their line system really keeps the flow moving in an efficient manner.
I didn’t try their coffee, because Starbucks owns a piece of my soul so long as they keep pumping out those sweet sweet raspberry mochas, but this is my new go-​to for all my bagel needs despite being able to pick up a lesser bagel with my coffee across the street. WORTH the extra trip.

Let me start this review by admitting a few things:
1) I have never had a bagel from Einsteins.
2) I don’t like bagels.
3) I LOVE the egg sandwiches at Einsteins bagels. (They are paninis, on various types of non-​bagel bread).
4) More than I love their paninis, I am obsessed with their coffee… it tastes amazing and is pretty much made of jet rocket fuel. Haha
Whenver we stop here, my husband likes to get the nova lox bagel and he seems to enjoy it every time… I opt for the egg, bacon, & spinach sandwich and am literally never disappointed when I eat it… it is my favorite fast food sandwich!
My only real complaint is that some of the people that work at this location aren’t very friendly or professional… As a result of that, one day your order will be perfect, the next it will be slopped together and thrown over the counter at you.
Either way, take a chance & feed your face. Hahaha

I gotta have my lox and bagels on the weekend and this is my go to place. What I love about this location is the neighborhood feel. Sounds crazy since this is a chain but the employees here know their customers and are so happy and friendly (well, some of them).
The ordering system is stupid but all Einstein locations seem to do the order at one register and then pay at the other system. I noticed when I come on the weekends there is a group of older folks that get together and do the newspaper crossword puzzle together. It’s too cute.
I like to come early to ensure I get parking. The lot can get crowded later on in the morning.

Every time I walk in here I am greeted with smiles. My orders are usually very picky but they get it right every single time. Today I got the six cheese bagel double toasted with cream cheese. It came out perfect. Not burnt and nice and hot. I also ordered a blended hazelnut moca (FYI they have the best coffee.)
Of course the bagel came out before the drink so I sat down and started eating. Then the manager (I think) brought my drink to my table! Such a nice gesture. I love this Einstein’s!

This place always closes before their actual close time! Such a disappointment! 20 mins before closing and their doors are locked.

Real rude employees. No wonder when I pulled up the parking lot was empty and cars trying to find parking for Crest Café across the street.

I’m increasing my stars because Einstein has become my go-​to bagel joint, even though there are some problems. Their nova bagel prices have gone up, and the wi-​fi is not only unreliable but the staff really doesn’t care if it’s down, and there is only one plug so if that seat is occupied, you’re SOL. They recently remodeled the bathroom (it was about time…).
Some staff are friendly, some are eh, but I’ve never experienced rudeness. The bagels are tasty and there’s usually some kind of special going on. I wish coupons came out more often! I usually order an egg sandwich or the aforementioned nova, or the dozen with 2 cream cheese. They will slice all of them for you!

You love bagels? Then why are you still reading reviews about this place just get in your car and get over there!
Great place to come and have breakfast, brunch and sometimes an early lunch. I been this the Hillcrest location a few times in the past, came in after having a doc appt. and it was still breakfast time so decided to stop in. They have a variety of different types of bagels that’s range from «normal» to «gourmet» bagels. The price is fair just make sure u look at their menu for their different pricing on their different types of bagels. Along with their variety of bagels they also have a variety of shmears (cream cheese).
I Ordered the nacho jalapeño gourmet bagel with sun-​dried tomatoe shmear. It was to die for!
I must say tho. I do agree with the rest of the Unilocaler regarding staff. There are a few of them that are very nice and friendly but then there is one that just looks like he is very unhappy to work there and can’t give u a smile nor a morning greeting. I can do a way better job at his job!
Overall though still a good place to come and eat!
