Einstein Bros Bagels

Service is very slow had to wait for the 5 girls working up front to stop flirting with other customers and take my order! It’s definitely a college spot for little kids!

I paid for parking just to find out that they have their doors locked during business hours. How horribly mismanaged.

Service is slow and taste is inconsistent… They’re always crowded and have a hard time finding my order…

I have lunch here nearly every Tuesday. The staff are always friendly and Einsteins always has good food. It’s a great place to meet people and talk. The patio is great, except in really hot or humid weather, which doesn’t happen often (gotta love AZ weather!).

My coworker went here (the one in ASU Memorial Union) for breakfast sometimes, so I decided to try it out too. I purchased a coffee and a brownie, the lady told me that she needed to check in the kitchen. Later on another guy came out and brought a brownie to me, he was telling to the lady that «this is the last one from…» The lady disrupted him immediately and quickly took my credit card. When she was making the coffee for me, she was talking to another lady in Spanish in front of me, saying that the brownie was a left over one and the guy was talking loudly, and how he should have not do so in front a customer… The whole mumble brought me doubts to this place. I don’t know what left over food they would give to me or any customer again.

Every week I would have a coffee here before teaching class. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is always immaculate and has a great environment for getting work done or socializing.

This is my favorite breakfast/​brunch spot. Fresh bagels and different types of cream cheese.
They even have Bagel Thins for those who are cutting their carbs.
You don’t pay the person who took you order, but move down the line to pay for your food.
Their iced coffee are a great deal! It’s a 20oz cup for less than $ 3!

Einstein Bagels serve quite a few unique bagels that I enjoy and their Pepperoni Pizza bagel is a nice change from the regular pepperoni pizza.
Unfortunately, the one at Memorial Union disappoints me. First of all, they are not like all other Einstein Bagels. They do not have the same offers and do not accept coupons like regular Einstein Bagel place. These coupons help me save a lot!
Their service is also disappointing. Being in the Memorial Union, you would expect that they are trained to deal with crowds, especially during lunch time. We went after the main lunch crowd, about 2.30pm and they were slow in making our order. We ordered two pepperoni pizza bagel. When they called my name, they realized that they only made one instead of two.
I will only go to this particular one when I have no other choice.

I have not been in for a while — what a shock! The place is dirty, the folks working there can’t say hello, turn away when you are at the counter. Only coffee is decaf and some vanilla flavor, milk & half and half are empty, no sugar, counter is filthy. Are you serious about selling those black bananas?

Einstein has an interesting way of taking your order — instead of standing in line, making your order, paying for it, then waiting for your food to enjoy. They add another step: between making your order and paying for it, they make you wait again. Personally, I’m a 4 step kinda girl, so that extra 5^th step throws me off a little.
Every bagel I have ever tried here has been delicious! I wouldn’t recommend the Bagel Poppers, after about 3 of them you start to feel like a damp sponge that has be left outside on a very humid day… not good. Don’t get their hot chocolate unless you like the super sweet milky tasting coco — I prefer a stronger/​bitter chocolate.
This location is always packed, but I have never had bad service — and I am a fan!

So I went back today, hoping that my experience was a single bad incident. This time I stayed clear of their bagels and went for one of their Italian Grilled Sandwiches, which seemed decent. I secretly hoped that given the price at $ 7, it would be a tad better than the previous day’s horror.
Unfortunately, even as I just opened the sandwich, my stomach screamed in protest. It was the same, gooey, prepared mess as before. The chicken (which wasn’t even cut, so the two halves of the sandwich weren’t separate) was tough, dry, and flavorless. The vegetables were overdone and gooey. I suspect the whole thing was made in a microwave because even the bread had lost its texture. Needless to say, after a single bite, I donated my meal to the trash can.
I stand by my last review; this place has got to be one of the worst places I have ever eaten.

I used to hate that Einstein’s was the only bagel place on campus, cause i loved Bruegger’s so much better.
I’ve since grown to enjoy these bagels more. The service here was usually pretty quick (sometimes you only have like 10 minutes between classes) which was nice.
it’s nice that it’s located on the outer corner of the MU building, as it can get packed in that building, and it it’s got it’s own entrance and exit.
