Einstein Bros Bagels

As stone as I walked in I was met with a hello from staff. Bathroom was very clean. Eating area was nice and clean. Food prep area was clean. Potato salad is the best. Love all the bagels.

Einsteins coffee game is STRONG! First thing I do when I wake up is head to einsteins and take advantage of there bottomless coffee. I drink 3 coffees a day so I am WIRED!

Always a solid choice for lunch when your tired of regular sandwiches and subs. Can’t go wrong with the Tasty Turkey on the Asiago bagel. Service is fast and friendly. This particular location is clean as well. I recommend the Jalapeño chips. Some of my favorites around! Enjoy

I always have a good experience with this einsteins. The staff is very friendly and thorough. The parking can be a pain in this lot especially if you are there on a weekend morning. The location is also very convenient however!

1:30 in the afternoon and they’re out of every single bagel except two nasty «gingerbread» bagels. Then the one slow rude woman working there takes forever to wait on everyone as if she holds all in contempt. Never going there again.

My low rating is mainly because of the terrible service at this location the food is the same as any other location. I live and work nearby so this is closest location to me, I do go here often and am repeatedly disappointed by the service. It’s obvious the employees don’t care about the customers or the service. My advice is to always check your order before you leave if you’re taking it to-​go, they will get it incorrect pretty much every time. They will also forget to add your sides, but still charge you for them!

Bagels were good & it was conveniently close to work to get the dozen bucket for the shop. The manager here was a little on the rude side though must not be a morning person! :D

I’ll start by saying I used to love Einstein’s. I’ve been to this location before without problems, but this trip has confirmed my belief that all of the locations seem to be suffering in quality… for a while now.
Unfortunately, my usual location is currently undergoing renovations so I went to this one instead. I purchased two nova lox bagels and two doggy bagels. I think the recipe or bake time was off for the plain bagels because they were sunken and doughy. The smoked salmon tasted incredibly fishy and was actually warm to the touch. For fear of food poisoning, I didn’t eat it. Total waste of money, but I didn’t go back to return the items since I really wasn’t interested in being inconvenienced any further. I’ll be avoiding this location without a doubt and I’ll look into different local bagel shops.

After seeing the restroom I wanted to vomit the delicious bagels I had just eaten. It hadn’t been cleaned in what looked like years. The floor, toilet, sink was FILTHY with dirt (literally a grey sink and toilet), pee, water spots, calcification. The base of the toilet was grey from built up dirt, dust, filth. It was very clear that they never ever ever clean the restroom. Ever. I told the manager that the bathroom was filthy, even though I knew she knew it. She just walked away and said ok. I went back towards the bathroom a few min later w my phone to take a couple photos to show my husband but she stopped me, and was putting on some tiny clear gloves. I thought, «it’s going to take a lot more than that!» She went in and back out after a minute or so. It was the strangest thing. Why even go in and fake like your going to clean it when it’s obvious that you never have and don’t plan to? Such a nice restaurant chain with no regard for public health. I’ve even considered calling the health department, it was that bad… But then I’m just being a total jerk. Hopefully the owner reading a Unilocal review will get things taken care of. I’ll delete it if they want to respond. Like I said, I wanted to barf the food I just ate bc it was clear that if they care that little about sanitation, the kitchen, which customers don’t see, could be so much worse.

I feel like Einstein Bros. Bagels is a GREAT choice if there aren’t a lot of good breakfast places around, but if you’re in an area like Phoenix/​Scottsdale where there is so much great stuff to choose from, it really feels a step below.
I’ve had their bagels and a few of their bagel sandwiches, and I’m never incredibly disappointed, but I’m never incredibly impressed either. All the food is just fine.
That being said, the staff is very nice, the patio is nice … to sum it up, it’s all … nice … there are just a lot of places nearby that are a lot nicer.

Like this place when I come to AZ on business, but for some reason if you go after 9pm they are always out of a lot of bagles. My fav is the green chile. Service is good and free wifi in the store. Nice for me to go and work and have a great breakfast!

Great service here! Sat outside and he brought us our order! Two hot egg and bacon sandwiches, they even put the butter on my bagel! Not like other places where the butter is in a packet– very cold– and hard to spread. I feel like these chains don’t get enough credit, but this location stands out!

This place is great, they have a wide variety of healthy items on the menu to choose from and they open early. David is always friendly and remembered my name after only meeting me once. This is where I go for breakfast almost everyday now.

I have been to a number of Einstein Bros Bagels shops and the food is basically what you would expect– but I was particularly impressed with the service I got here. I came here two mornings in a row pretty early when I was in town over the weekend. David was at the register and he was extremely helpful and seemed like he genuinely wanted to help us get the quickest and best service possible. When he saw that there were going to be several customers coming in unusually early, he rushed to the back to get another person to help him make the food while he took the orders so we wouldn’t have to wait. He was helpful in making suggestions with any questions I had about the menu. Also, the service was very fast, I wasn’t even able to start pouring my coffee before my bagel breakfast sandwich was ready and being handed to me.
The bagel sandwich was warm and tasted good and a little overpriced.

I went to this Einstein’s two days in a row since it’s right near my apartment. Unfortunately I would have to sum up my experience as crappy both times. For a bacon egg and cream cheese sandwich to be priced at $ 9 is utter insanity, especially when the eggs and bacon are sitting in a hotel pan kept on a warmer. There are sit down restaurants you can go to, pay less, and have a fresh egg cooked to order! I might have kept going there and paid the prices for shit food since it’s so close to my apartment, but when I politely asked about the prices thinking maybe I was charged incorrectly the first day I got a really bitchy register girl telling me no they just honestly charge $ 9 for a sandwich that costs maybe $ 3 at every other bagel establishment. Safe to say I’m not going back there or any other Einstein’s for that matter!

I just realized I have not been too one of these places in a year. Last two times they cut the bagel wrong. And gave me an attitude when I asked them to fix it. It’s my money and u want it my way if I’m paying. Se e review I left at two other locations. The guy here was cool and did his job right and my meal was awesome. While Einstein isn’t my favorite its damn good

The vanilla hazelnut coffee is the highlight for sure, the food is pretty average. The service here really sets them apart though… Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Shout out to the manager David and the other guy who works there (forget his name), they always remember my order and chat it up in the early AM.

I’ve been to a number of Einstein’s Bagels, but this one really stands out above the rest.
Excellent customer service! A staff member named Chelsea welcomed every single customer in the store and seemed genuinely happy to see them. When she wasn’t busy behind the counter taking breakfast orders, she was switching out the freshly brewed coffee, wiping down tables, and asking guests how their meal was.
I ordered a breakfast sandwich and medium coffee — both were delicious and quickly prepared. The coffee bar was clean, well stocked, and the coffee carafes were full which I appreciated. The egg whites, mushrooms, asparagus, and Swiss cheese where delicious on a toasted garlic bagel.
This location has a great neighborhood feel — a few customers greeted one another while enjoying their breakfast and Chelsea even knew several regular customers by name! Such a welcoming and friendly vibe here. I usually frequent the Tempe location which is heavily populated with students with laptops and iPods who mostly avoid eye contact, so it was refreshing when an older gentleman said good morning to me when he sat down at the next table.
Come here to enjoy a tasty breakfast in a relaxing and welcoming environment.

Einstein’s and I have a usual love affair. This being said, I was extremely dissapointed in this location.
The entrance is awkward and they are usually understaffed. I love their bagels and their fresh squeezed OJ…“Fresh Squeezed OJ” — - is usually from concentrate at this store. Being an Einstein fanatic, I can tell. At first sip. That this was a frozen juice concentrate. Other Einstein’s have a tangy, sweet OJ.
And the shmear:
Eisntein’s is usually known for globbing ooey gooey, delicious and ridiculous amounts of shmear on their bagels. This Einstein’s seems to scrape the bottom of the barrrel to get enough to cover your bagel.
So sad as this is really close to my work but it looks like I’ll have to continue to go to Shea or Desert Ridge for my Blueberry Bagel, toasted, with Strawberry Cream Cheese.

I love Einstein’s! This location isn’t my favorite but I’m biased toward loving the location I used to go to as a child. The staff at this Scottsdale location is very nice and helpful, at times I notice they get flustered (usually during the peak hours) and sometimes forgetful. But all in all they are super friendly so I guess in some cases it makes up for their rare mistakes they make. Just be sure to check your order if you come here during a rush.
The location itself is easy to find but this parking lot is a disaster and always is, so be warned about the parking situation (park to the left of the building for a non crowded lot)
My usual is an everything bagel toasted with plain cream cheese. Possibly double toasted if I’m in a picky mood.
They also have awesome breakfast and lunch sandwiches and an awesome coffee selection. «Darn good coffee!»
I’ll be back for the delicious fresh bagels that are made daily the friendly staff and dirty chi latte! Yum!
