| RudeDawg's Full Review: Einstein Bros. Bagels |
I go to Einstein's about twice a week. I loved it right from the start. They have unbeatable food with great service.
Food
Breakfast: I eat breakfast at Einstein's whenever my sister has to go to school early. In the beginning, I ordered the regular: a plain bagel w/ regular cream cheese. This was great but after a while, I got bored of it, so I ordered a "pull-apart cinnamon roll". This cinnamon roll was the best cinnamon roll I had ever had. It was covered in sticky, gooey frosting. The bread was warm and the cinnamon was delicious. All of these factors came together to form the ultimate cinnamon roll. Then, in school one day, someone brought in some Einstein's Bagels. They had a couple different cream cheeses (strawberry and plain) and a few types of bagels. I was feeling a bit risky that day so I grabbed a cinnamon-sugar bagel, and spread strawberry cream cheese on it. This turned out to be an excellent decision. The cinnamon-sugar bagel/strawberry cream cheese combo is excellent. You might think that this is the pinnacle of food at Einstein Bros. Bagels, but wait there's more...
Lunch: I first experienced the Einstein's lunch when our usual "after church" lunch restaurant closed down and we had to find a new one. Well, I had been to Einstein's before (and liked it) and it was close-by, so that is where we ended up. What luck! It turns out, their lunch is better than their breakfast! I ordered a ham and cheese bagel sandwich, which was excellent. I also got a focacia (a pizza-like thing). Their focacia's are fantastic. They are amazing. There aren't enough words to describe them. They're just plain good.
Pricing
The pricing of the bagels is good. Unfortunately, the cream cheese ruins it. They charge too much for cream cheese and to make up for it, they completely smother the bagel in it. When you take a bite of the bagel, cream cheese comes out from all sides. It would be better if they put less cream cheese on the bagel and charged less.
Service
There are two Einstein's that I frequently go to. The one I go to for breakfast has excellent service. The workers are courteous and efficient. I am in and out fast. It is too bad they aren't all like that. The one I go to for lunch has terrible service. They never get the orders right and are very sloppy. It just seems like they hate their job. It isn't a pleasant feeling to be around those people.
Einstein's is a great place to eat: breakfast or lunch. I am not promising great service, since it seems to vary from store to store; but I am promising great food.
