Einstein Bros Bagels

Still love their bagels — best around and the real deal! Service is very friendly here; bagels are fresh. Try the pumpernickle, or the jalapeño-​cheddar cheese bagel (hint: it doesn’t need any cream cheese so it is a bargain!). We come here everytime we’re in town.

If you’d like to visit a bagel shop where the staff has no concept of service look no further. They did manage to not mess up my husband’s plain bagel, but other than that nothing was correct.

My kids and I love grabbing a bagel here on mornings when we’re running errands/​doctor visits. I’ve never had a problem with long waits and the staff has always seemed nice. They are reasonably priced and a healthier (emphasis on the «er») choice than greasy hashbrowns or biscuits. My favorite is the gourmet apple cinnamon bagel with the honey almond smear. They also sell real fruit smoothies here which i have not tried but do intend on trying. The only thing that i do not care for is the amount of cream cheese put on the bagel. Sometimes I scrape off half of it and there’s still too much which can lead to a stomach ache from all the sweetness. Also, pretty messy trying to scrape it off in the car. Otherwise, i love it and highly recommend!

Was not greeted upon arrival, and when my wife started the order she was told to wait since they were too busy. When we decided to leave the male worker asked us to wait. My wife offered the suggestion that we should of been greeted and then told they were busy and to please wait. The worker replied in a very patronizing tone «thanks for being my manager». We left without ordering and a bad taste in our mouth.

I don’t think I’ve ever had friendlier service in my entire life. When they say, «Have a good day» they really meant it. I came during busy hours and they still remembered my name on my third visit. Thank you!

The employees are SUPER friendly, and the food and coffee is pretty good. But they do close at 5 sharp. I ordered to-​go one time and the forgot an item. By the time I realized it and went back to ask about it, they were closed. So I lost money on it, maybe my fault for not checking my bag, but still. Overall, it’s a decent place though. :)

Great service! Very friendly and helpful if you’ve never been here. Quick service also. Came for breakfast … Loved it.

Visited this location during business travel. Ordered a bagel with cream cheese and a bowl of fruit. The food was like your typical Einstein, not amazing but also not bad.
My biggest complaint was the cleanliness of the restaurant. I arrived at 6:00 AM. No other customers were in the restaurant, however all the tables were filthy. I am positive I was the first customer of the day

This is just in regards to your coffee. Everything else is GREAT. Your coffee either tastes burnt or like cigarette butts depending on the day. I try it every few weeks to see if someone has tasted it and decided to make it better, but alas, this hasn’t happened. It has been awful for two years now. I have to keep going to other places for coffee and then driving through for a bagel for my breakfast. Please, please have a manager or somebody try your coffee. It is HORRIBLE!

Here’s an update on Einsteins. Spouse visited again and is happy with them.

I visit very often and almost always have fantastic food, drinks and service. They always have a wide selection of bagel choices, drink options, and if you’re around for lunch it is excellent as well.

This place is awesome. Breakfast sandwiches are excellent, but a little pricy. That’s said, that are betet than anything you could get from a fast food drive thru. Everything tastes fresh and way less grease than the typical biscuits etc offered by big name drive thru. I had the spinach mushroom and swiss w/​egg bagel and my wife had a bacon cheddar egg bagel. Both were very good. I highly recommend trying this joint.

I have always loved Einstein Bros Bagels. The first time I had it was in Downtown Indianapolis back in the mid to early 90’s. There was never one close to where I lived so if I ever ran across one it was on. As soon as I moved to Springfield they opened one up. I now live 5 minutes away from it. Great bagels. They also have a really good Rueben for lunch or dinner. Their spreads are great. I’m a classic Cream Cheese guy and they do it well for me. Great bagel shop!

Well, they are new and they are giving away free bagels w/​coupon from Sunday paper, and I was driving by, so I had to stop…
Seems like a good bagel. Has the garlic w/​salmon shmear as my freebie, cold not toasted. The spread was good, and so was the bagel, and the price (had I paid!) seemed reasonable. They certainly won’t have any trouble getting me to come back and try more!
Heck, when I moved here and went out for a bagel there were no places to go for one! Of course, this isn’t your chewy, traditional style bagel, but it is good nonetheless.
