Einstein Bros Bagels

Bad bad service at this location
But I am ok with bad service as long as the food is good, but felt like place is no clean and the bagels had a funny flavor.
Will not be back to this location.

Wow! No waiting for the first time ever at this location. I guess the trick is to come here before 7 AM. Normally, the wait is approximately 5 to 10 minutes and the line usually extends past the door. You always have fresh products, which are obviously baked that same morning. The bagels have a harder outer shell and a soft, chewy inner. They do run out of the popular bagels by the mid afternoon. Service is usually quick, efficient and with a smile. I do enjoy their coffee, with most having a hint of spice, unlike our busier chain coffee store down the road which is bitter. Their cream cheese is light and fluffy, not the most flavorful, but does the trick. The music being played is a tad loud for 620am however.

Every time I come in they have run out of almost every type of bagel… which would be understandable since I usually come in after the morning rush, but I have tried other Einstein’s locations around the same time and this is the only one that seems to run out of most of the bagels.
Service is hit-​or-​miss. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had a couple of super nice employees help me here! but more frequently the employees just seem to be all over the place and like they are distracted by side work or by talking to each other.
Also not sure if anyone else had noticed this but my bagels are almost always burnt at this location… Good thing a burnt bagel from Einstein’s is still better than any other bagel :)

Best Einstein Bagels out there. Friendly staff, great management. I prefer this location over ANY other! Asiago bagels arw my favorite.

I was in Einstein’s on Saturday and tried to make my way around all the dogs both on the patio and inside the restaurant. These were not tiny lap dogs or service dogs. They were virtually everywhere. When I got up to the counter I asked about all the dogs in the restaurant. The clerk said «yeah, there is nothing we can do about it». I love my dog too but I’m ok going out to a restaurant without him. I love their bagels but I prefer them without dog hair. Additionally, this must be a health code violation.

I love this location. The employees are super friendly and always super helpful. The large selection of bagels and drinks are fabulous. It’s always clean and wish the lines weren’t as long as they are sometimes in the morning. Everything I’ve ever had has always been fresh. Only complaint, when I ask for extra cream cheese, I expect a ton not a thinly spreader amount.

The lox and bagel on an everything bagel was perfect. It hit the spot! Service was superb too — Julia behind the counter had impeccable customer service skills. Fresh coffee and the patio was great at 0730 in the morning. Coming back soon!

We were very pleased when the service that we received when we arrived shortly before closing time. Friendly service rates really high in my book! My sandwich was really good and the blueberry bagel my daughter chose was chocked full of blueberries. So a thumbs up for the food as well. The one thing keeping this location from five stars is the overall cleanliness of the dining area. It could just use a good deep cleaning. The blinds need to be cleaned and the ceiling tiles near the air vents are filthy. The window sills are riddled with crumbs and the floor needs a good scrubbing. Take care of those things and this will be a top-​notch location.

Hard to review a bagel place… As good as it gets. The staff is über quick here and friendly. Power bagel and strawberry cream cheese… LOVE IT!

Great bagels and shmear! Busy sometimes but definitely worth it!

Seriously? How do you not have bagels? No cinnamon raisin not even plain? They offered a potato bagel. No. Quality gets worse every week — now they don’t even make enough. Not going back anymore. Annoying.

Delicious, pretty cheap and fast. Love the potato salad. Love the turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich.

Best bagels and cream cheese I’ve ever had! I love when the cream cheese is light and fluffy. It tastes a lot better and makes it easier to apply! Their bagels are light and fluffy and absolutely delicious too! Its a definite treat when I get to have Einsteins bagels :)

I love Einstein’s but this location was busy at 9am and didn’t have half of their options available and when asked when they would put bagels out they said half an hour. I don’t understand why at such a busy hour they weren’t at all prepared nor apologetic. I’ll be back but it was a disappointing experience

LOVE Einstein’s bagels! So soft and fluffy — both the bagels and their schmear! My favorite bagel would be their jalapeño bagel with garden veggie cream cheese and it will NOT disappoint. you can also get a tub of their jalapeño cream cheese but you just have to ask for it and they’ll put it into a tub for you.

Good bagel place that never disapoints. However, if you are in the neighborhood, I would recommend Nosh on Warner and 48^th over Einstein.

This had been my go to place for bagels for some time now. They have never disappointed me. The staff is always friendly and their coffee is really good too. My favorite is their vanilla hazelnut coffee. You won’t be sorry!

Best place for a bagel breakfast, and perfectly brewed coffee every time. I have been to several Einstein bagels in Az and Cali, and the Ahwatukee store is the best!

Love the breakfast sandwiches, they are large, filling and delicious. The chicken salad sandwich is also great and my dogs love the doggie bagel treats.
The staff is friendly and the new set up gets you in and out much more quickly.
The only reason that I can’t give them that 5^th star is that they took away the call ahead ordering which used to be my Sunday routine. When you are in a hurry the ability to call ahead and run in and get your breakfast was a lifesaver! But since they won’t take phone orders anymore I have found myself going to other places that will.

It was more than $ 10 for a bagel sandwich with chips and a small fountain drink.
Excuse me? I could make ten turkey sandwiches for that price!
Hardly worth it, even though the bagel was a tasty six cheese bagel.
Yes, I realize you pay more at a restaurant for something than you do when you make it at home. But this sandwich wasn’t a monster sandwich like you’d find at Chompie’s. It was an average, lonely little sandwich in a basket that could fit two more just like it.
The order taking employee didn’t bother to mentiom there was an upcharge to use a cheese bagel. They just asked what kind of bagel I would like.
For an extra 70 cents, I would have stayed with whatever bagel the sandwich came with. I assume it would have been plain, but who knows?
I used to love Einstein’s. And yes, they make good bagels. But I won’t be returning for lunch anytime soon.
A better local alternative is Capriotti’s. A $ 10 sandwich there is fresh, amazing, and could feed me for two meals.
I will visit Einstein’s again, but only for a bagel with butter or cream cheese.
