Einstein Bros Bagels

On my break I went thru the drive thru. the person on the speaker asked to look at the menu and order at the window because she can’t hear through the speaker. I drive to the window and ask for the Nova Lox bagel, but on jalapeño bagel. When I get to work I notice the sandwich is on a cinnamon raisin bagel. I called the restaurant and spoke to Scott, manager. He didn’t apologize and suggested I go back and he will give me another sandwich. I told him my break is 30 min only and can’t come back. not only that but I still don’t have a meal. He stated again, next time I come there they will give me another sandwich. I’ve had little mistakes happen before at this place, but nothing like this. Do I really want to go back?!

Let’s start with location. It sucks. Drive through sucks. The speaker system sucks. The employees can’t hear you and almost always mess your order up. The bagels are sub par. Nothing is «fresh» other then the maybe when they cooked the bagels. Over priced and coffee sucks.

Einstein’s makes a worthy bagel and grills up a decent Italian chicken pesto on ciabatta as well. It’s sort of an upscale «grab and go» for the Foothills with high quality coffee and creative baked goods. I was a little surprised to see plastic cups with homemade lemonade offered in the cooler, but I guess those touches separate Einstein’s from QT. Most of the clientele seemed to be regulars, and the little restaurant area is spotlessly clean. It’s a little spendy, but price points in this area have to reflect the sky high rents. The drive-​thru bagels will draw me back.

This Einsteins is always clean with friendly staff and aaaaamazing coffee and bagels.

When I walked in at 830 in the morning there was a customer at the only cashier. That customer remained there for 12 minutes. For my first eight minutes in line no one was waiting on the in-​store customers because the manager was too busy helping her production line compensate for the drive thru slowness. Bottom line is it took me 22 minutes to get a bagel and coffee. When I said I’d call the management the employees laughed. Basically… go someplace else.

Einstein Bagels, no matter where you find them, are always consistently good, and the service matches the food. Thank you for being one of the few chains that make my day!

The bagels are decent, but the service is ALWAYS slow. I typically use the drive-​thru on the way to work and it always delays me at least 20 minutes. Definitely plan ahead on your way to work.

Super lox bagel and cream cheese sandwich ! They put cream cheese on both sides of the bagel, and the lox too!!! Other places charge extra !!! Friendly atmosphere, and little cups to try free samples of all the different coffees they have! Nobody does that! Super clean, and fun place to eat ! I go at least twice a week! You gotta check this place out! You’ll be back! Adam– Tucson Az

Food is always great here… The 3 stars are not got that… My issue is that during busy times they lose control of the dining area. it gets very messy. Patrons should not have to clean a table and chairs before sitting down.

Bagels are good.
The place is always uncomfortably cold.
I’ve asked management about it but they cannot control the thermostat.
Perhaps we’ll have to go somewhere else to find a comfortable place to eat breakfast.

I had pretty much written this place off due to their soggy bagels and poor service but I thought I would give them another try since I was running late today. Today their line was a little long and slow but the guy running the counter was so friendly it made up for waiting. He took my order, read it back (which is key since i have received wrong orders from this place) and wished me a great day. The lady taking my payment was also super nice and in a genuine grandma style! I ordered my bagel to eat in so i could rally give the place a new look. Its filled with an older population but they all just seem so relaxed which is a huge contrast to my fast paced morning grogginess. The bagel is also quite delicious and not soggy. Green chili, egg, tomatoes, turkey sausage and veggie schmear, washed down with a hazelnut vanilla coffee. Great job today Einsteins! I will return.

I usually go to Einstein Bros on my way in to work. I am usually leaving my house around 5 in the morning, so I don’t have many options. Einstein, Starbucks, Burger King or McDonalds — I choose Einsteins more often then not. Their bagels are good and one of the few places that I have been able to find my favorite bagel ever — the pretzel bagel. I tend to find the bagels a little airy and don’t tend to toast to crunchy perfectionism when they just come out of the oven. But they are open early and still do a girl good when she is on the go. I don’t recommend getting the hot tea here as it was slightly bitter and brewed too hot for me.

I love bagels and cream cheese, so this place already had a couple of stars going for them. The other two are for consistency, taste, and drive through speed. I’ve never actually stopped in at this location to eat, only on the run. The drive thru is pretty quick and my food comes out right. My favorites here are the Lox and the Tasty Turkey on Asiago. I do think it’s a little pricey for just a bagel and no sides, so I’m not giving it the 5^th star.

Great place for Sunday morning breakfast and paper. Family friendly and good bagels. Coffee fixings are readily available and coffee is kept fresh.
Great service and I really like their breakfast sandwiches.

I go here for the asiago cheese bagel. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. I always have a good experience here.
The only negative is the parking situation. There are only a few spots near the door. No big deal though, just park next to the pizza place next door.

I LOVE this place for breakfast. There is a lady who works there named Denise I have known her for a few years now just by going to eat there and every time I walked in she is makes me feel welcomed. There’s something about going to eat somewhere and they know you by name.
I haven’t been there in awhile so today I noticed they changed their menu, it was a little confusing, but I am not complaining.

My second time here even though I’ve driven past it for years… I love it! The Egg White Asparagus Bagel Thins are yummmmmmmy and honestly the coffee is probably better than most places in Tucson. My opinion remember. They do have wi-​fi which is a plus but there are only 2 small tables sharing one outlet, so you have to get lucky if you plan on using them. Both times I’ve come the place is packed!
Downside…parking really sucks.

Parking lot was a cramped.
BIG store that was clean. I got my bagels and tried to pick up some orange juice. Unfortunately, my credit application for $ 10,000 was denied (the amount I needed to buy a small cup of orange juice). So, I took my showboat over the circle K to get their litre of Orange Juice for less.
I think they are pushing the «lox» cream cheese. Not big on the lox. I did like how my bagels were sliced when I opened the bag, I guess I missed that part of the operation — made me happy.

I love this specific location! Staff is great for the most part. I go there twice a week and always get a plain bagel with a smear of cream cheese with a small coffee. The staff at the drive thru is so much fun and always friendly!
Bagels are yummy, coffee is good, great way to start my day.

Yes !!!
Finally a Einsteins opened in my neighborhood!
I love Einsteins bagels and Smears !!!
Consistent quality, Great place for a quick breakfast or lunch.
