Einstein Bros Bagels

I think this place serves the leftover bagels from the other stores in town. Consistently horrible product that is almost like eating a rock. I ordered an asiago cheese bagel once and it was the greasiest thing I ever saw. In fact, all of the cheese slid off after taking my first bite. Too bad because I love Einstein and it is across the street from my office.

I’m huge fan of this place. Fun, helpful staff amazing fresh yogurts and yummy bagels. plus as cabin crew I get discounts so why not))

This Einstein’s is in the Hyatt hotel downtown. Ridiculous wait for a bagel. We chose it over the hotel restaurant because we were in a hurry. 30 minutes later, we had 2 bagels. Jesus.

Wednesday morning 8:09am 2÷24÷16. Just served a bagel that had to be made back when Schaub was welcome in Houston. I have parachute pants that are more fresh than the bagel I was just served. As I chew it, I am reminded of cutting 2X4’s in my grandpa’s garage and tasting the clouds of sawdust. So if you are into nostalgia and doorstops with cream cheese on top… go to this Einsteins.

Fresh, strong coffee in the morning, that’s all I need to get going after my workout.

Einsteins is a staple bagel shop in every city. They are consistently tasty at all locations, this shop is no exception. I appreciated the premade sandwiches as an option in a hurry.
The staff was very quick and kind. Beware the jalapeño cream cheese is extremely spicy, just the way I like it.

Horrible horrible horrible service. Waited over 30 minutes for 3 items!!! I watched many people who had ordered after me get their food before I did. Also I was charged this unadvertised $ 2.00 service charge and not offered a itemized receipt!!! I had to ask for an itemized receipt & when I did he seemed very annoyed by it. Which is why I’m assuming they skipped making my order intentionally! Very poor.

Ordered late night service and was sad that I will have to pay a $ 3.50 delivery fee and a 19% service charge for my order that, while simple, arrived with 0% accuracy. Sigh. I should have just waited until the morning…

I wanted supper delivered to my room at the Hyatt and they said they only deliver between 11 pm and 6am. Ok. So I try to give them my order over the phone. Nope! So my husband and I go for a walk to see if anything else nearby appealed to us but nothing did and we had already decided what we wanted to order from there. Our total was $ 25.08 and I gave the girl $ 40. She resorted to paper and pen but never could come up with how much change I should get. Seriously? She finally just gave me $ 15 back. I have run a register and it always drive me crazy if it didn’t total correctly. So I gave her a five back and said «hon, take this and give me $ 4.92 back. She looked at me blankly then I thought understanding dawned until she reached for the tip box and started picking up coins to give me almost five bucks lol. No ma’am. I took back my five, looked at another employee, and said «your register will be at least eight cents short tonight». And they forgot to add the onions I asked for. Food was mediocre.

The young ladies working this morning was awesome! Very friendly and professional!!! My food came out fast and there had a good variety to choose from!

Didn’t think they could do worse than they did the last time I was there, but I was wrong! I decided to give them one more shot, and they failed again…

It’s pretty middle of the road. Don’t expect fast service pretty much anytime you go there… even if no one else is in line. The coffee is great and the bagels what you’d expect. The prices though are higher than at a normal Einsteins bc it’s inside a hotel. Not cool. They get many downtown customers that aren’t hotel guests. Its open 24 hrs.

Listen, I’m no local, so I can’t compare this spot to any of the other coffee shops downtown. I CAN however say that EVERY morning for 6 days, the ladies of this Einstein cranked out a FANTASTIC medium americano for me. It was frothy, rich and delicious every time. The staff that took my order was also friendly and allowed me to charge it to my room. I was in with a frown and walked out with a smile by 6 am! Thank you Einstein Morning Crew!
P. S. I heard that They deliver to your hotel room — in case you’re staying at the Hyatt!

I love the bagels at Einstein Bagels.
I went here for lunch to grab a Nova Lox on a Whole wheat bagel, my favorite. The quality of the salmon they serve (at any Einstein, btw) is great. The lady behind the counter made my bagel ready to order. It was only $ 8, which is not much for smoked salmon on a bagel, but I did not have to pay because her register did not work.
«So my lunch is for free today?», I joked. «Yes, today it’s on us», she said to my surprise… Now that’s what I call ‘good service’. You get 5 stars from me, lady! ;-)

When you’re held captive in a hotel lobby without any sundries store available, I guess Einstein Bros does the trick. Good selection of snacks and drinks, along with some sandwiches, but if you have a car go somewhere else for better value.
But if you’re stuck in downtown Houston and in your hotel, this place fits the bill — they will even deliver to your room at the Hyatt Regency.
I guess this place is a last resort of sorts. Oh well, it is what it is…

For all the Hype I’ve heard about Einstein Bros over the years, I can finally say I really don’t get it. The food was alright, but for a tuna salad sandwich, chips, and a water it was over $ 10. Not worth a couple blocks walk when there’s a Jason’s Deli in my building.

Convenient and comfortable. I like having lunch here.
Unfortunately, this location no longer takes coupons. :^(

I work across the street from this location. As such, it is convenient when I am in a hurry and need to grab a quick bite for breakfast. However, after my last experience, I will just go into the tunnels.
Overall, this establishment fails to get my order correct anytime I go in there. Two weeks ago, I went in there and ordered a bacon, egg and cheddar cheese sandwich on an everything bagel with salsa on the side. When I got to my office and opened the sandwich, I had a sausage, egg and white cheese (not sure what kind) on a plain bagel and no salsa.
Yesterday, I went and ordered the same thing (i.e., bacon, egg and cheddar cheese sandwich on an everything bagel with salsa on the side). However, when I opened my sandwich, I had a whole wheat bagel and not an everything bagel (they did include the salsa this time).
This is just 2 examples of my experience at this location. I would say that overall, most of my orders (70%) are wrong. The salsa included with my sandwich yesterday, was the first time in 5 – 6 visits when they even remembered to include it.
Even with all the wrong orders, I generally just hope for the best and eat whatever they feel like making that day because of laziness and work committments. However, yesterday when they got my order wrong again, I took the sandwich back and asked them to please make the sandwich I requested. Instead of just remaking the sandwich, the lady behind the counter went and began to dig through the trash to find the order receipt and challenge me!!! I was quite surprised with her attitude. There was no one else in this location at the time I ordered or brought the sandwich back to be remade.
After yesterday’s episode, I will not return to Einsteins for any reason because I am tired of paying $ 10 each time I go just to receive an incorrect order and the 1 time I bring this to their attention, their response is to dig through the trash.

So after staying at the Hyatt for five days this kind of became my go-​to breakfast joint during the trip. It also became my ‘it’s 2am, had a few drinks at the bar, tired but still hungry’ old reliable. Luckily, this Einstein Bros bagels is open 24 hours!
For a quick serve establishment, they had pretty good bagel sandwiches. I really liked the turkey bagel sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and sprouts. The breakfast wraps are also delicious.
Prices are reasonable and the service very friendly! Definitely a convenient stop for quick eats 24 hours a day!

First of all, my expectation is modest because I know the Einstein Bros. Bagels menu pretty well from visiting the location by my house. One day, I decided to stop by the downtown location in the Hyatt on my way to the office for breakfast.
First, this location DOES NOT take Einstein Coupon. This is a little disappointing since you can knock a dollar or two on coffee, bagels, or sandwich, which make it a pretty good deal overall. Second, the price seemed a little high. I could be mistaken but I don’t recall my Einstein Bros Bagels breakfast sandwich to be as high as the price I paid that morning WITH or WITHOUT the coupons. Lastly, the taste and quality of my bagel sandwich are not up to the standard that I expected from my local Einstein Bro. Bagels.
I probably will not go back to this Einstein Bros Bagels location again for breakfast due to the prices and quality.
