Einstein Bros. Bagels

My everything bagel had few seeds and things on top by the time it got to me. Other than that, it was as expected.
Husbands sausages, egg and cheese bagel was gross. Egg is rubber. They microwave it. Could they just get frozen ones and serve those? Maybe it would be better.
Coffee is great. Extra hot

Asparagus, mushroom and Swiss cheese egg white on bagel was really good! Despite the 10 minutes wait.

Egg and cheese on a plain bagel, it was delicious, hot and fresh
Also got a strawberry and banana smoothie which was also feat
Was expensive-​$ 10 for these two, airport cost I guess

$ 3 for a bagel that wasn’t anything special doesn’t seem like a fair deal to me. Never experienced a place that charged 80 cents to butter the bread. Welcome to the wonderful world of airport food, I guess, since this is pretty par for the course among airport lunch spots.

I’m a Einstein fan, but this location moves snail slow. In fact, today the line moved at such a snail’s pace we left and went to another retailer. This is the second time we’ve done this. If you travel often, like I do, it’s easy to make suggestions as to how to improve wait times so more customers aren’t lost.
Take the Einstein at the Denver Airport, for example. They increase staff during morning hours when bagels and coffee are in demand and by placing order takers in the line and speeding up the process. This location is understaffed and it frustrates customers who expect to make their flights.
The sad part is Einstein does have quality bagels, coffee and other breakfast items. If the line is short, or appears to be moving at all, it’s a great place to get an affordable bite before hopping on a plane (and it’s better than the Great American Bagel Company). If not, do what we did: walk from E to B where Bojangles is, order your food and walk back to E. You’ll still see the same people standing in line and be done with your food — like we did.

We stopped here before our flight. There is a little wait if you order any of the hot sandwiches so if you’re in a rush you might not want to stop here. It’s also a «to go» shop so there is no sit down area at this location.
I got the southwestern egg white (400 cals. Turkey sausage, bagel thin, American cheese, salsa and southwest cream cheese) and my husband got the fall special sandwich (French toast bagel, sausage, egg, cheese & maple syrup cream cheese). Both were delicious. Surprisingly the bagel thin on my sandwich was almost as big as my husband’s bagel!

Bagels with cream cheese or with sandwiches with meat/​cheese, Einstein in the airport is the same as their retail locations. I got a simple enough bagel sandwich with egg and cheddar and turkey sausage. The bagel was good, but wow it needed to go through the toaster a second time because it was barely warmed. Other than that, it was a decent «everything» bagel with the right toppings.
Service was quick.
Coffee urns with several flavors. They charge the full price and really, who’s sticking around for free refills?

The worst run, slowest Einstein location in the U. S… You would be better served leaving the airport to drive to a location in town; and you would have your bagel faster. Over 20 minute avg wait after order

Breakfast type items and coffee.
Excruciatingly slow lines here — forget it if you have to make a connecting flight.
That being said, the coffee is decent.
Good luck!

Workers don’t understand airports. Taking 20 minutes to make a sandwich when there are only a few people in line is crazy. Food is ok; airport prices.
Standing around talking… pay your workers to work.

DON’T GO! Wish I had checked Unilocal before we walked from terminal C over to terminal D. This Einstein location should be CLOSED. Bagels were soggy, not toasted properly, and were schmeered with the smallest possible spread of cream cheese. Instead of the reliably good Einstein experience, we were sorely disappointed and a bit grossed out. Sorry, but you may have to settle for Starbucks or Burger King.

Average Einstein bagel. I got the everything bagel and requested cream cheese to be separated, which they didn’t. Good airport option compared to all the fast food joints in here.

Slow slow slow slow
Most unfriendly and SLOW airport food ever — and it’s BAGELS!!! Long line and not much other option for breakfast so we still wait… and wait…
They need to send undercover boss here with a wig to see these people sluggishly move around as the line grows frantic for their boarding times.

I am a fan of the Tasty Turkey, that is all. Umm also the bagels are pretty good as well. I would rather eat here than McDonalds any day.

Back-​to-​back bagel disasters at Charlotte’s international airport/​fast walker’s paradise, avoided.
Not to say Einstein’s bagels are world class, nor are they the cheapest option ($ 6 for a Southwest Turkey-​Sausage, and a $ 4 smoothie), but this particular meal fit the bill for a breakfast betwixt flights.
The «healthy» egg white sandwich gets a unique kick with a salsa verde, giving a cool, herbal coat to the spiced turkey patty. More substantial than Dunk’s doppelgänger, it still only registers 330 calories, so go ahead and double up on that airplane beef jerky, Slim. Just don’t expect crunch from your barely toasted slim bagel.
My smoothie mostly blended a package fruit purée with low-​fat yogurt and ice, making it something you can find anywhere.
Staffed by robots (who isn’t at 7am?) leaves much to be desired from counter-​side manner, but they keep a clean house — 97.5 A Health Grade certificate is proudly displayed.

Avoided because it was slow and saw 10 customers with receipts in their hands. Not a good sign.

This place is a burning garbage dump fire of a restaurant. Eight or nine local employees that really don’t care. Everybody standing around moving as slow as they possibly can at an airport location. Really mediocre service and no pride in work.

I’ve had Einstein bagels in the past and this is the first time they were super greasy! They weren’t horribly bad, but I probably wouldn’t return to this location again. It is convenient since it’s in the airport, and the service is friendly, but I would recommend trying other meal options before coming here.

Average bagels. Average coffee. Expensive for what it is.
The eggs, bacon, etc. are of the precooked processed variety.
The bagels are toasted, but everything else is heated in a microwave.
If you’re hungry and stuck in the airport this will do.
It gets 3 stars only because it’s in the airport. If it weren’t in the airport I’d give it 2 stars.

I had a short layover in CLT without much time to eat. I arrived at my gate and saw that they were a little behind schedule so I had time for something quick. This place was the closest eatery nearby. I’m guessing the were busy because they’re the only game in town at this end of the terminal but they got to the point where they announced they needed to take a break for a minute from taking new orders until they could catch up for a minute. I’ve never seen that tactic before but I guess it’s good they let people know in-​case they were on a short timeline.
In just a couple minutes they were taking orders again and the people who just wanted a drink or something cold were taken care of right away. I ordered a peperoni pizza bagel with a drink. It was surprisingly pretty good and was cooked just right. I hate when you get something like that and it’s way under cooked. This was not the case. Not the best food in the airport but it was quick and did the job.
