Einstein Bros. Bagels

Pros: Friendly
Cons: Nothing

I had my first Einstein bagel about 5 years ago in Kansas City, Missouri. I had never heard of them and was introduced by a friend.

The atmosphere was casual and "healthy" in a way. The coffee was of high quality with a wonderful...

Pros: variety, take home potential, friendly employees.
Cons: Not enough of Einsteins' everywhere!

This restaurant is great (especially when situated next to a Starbucks!) because whenever I go there, I am amazed what flavors they have thought of. A friend of mine worked there and said they were required to put a ton of that yummy stuff called...

Pros: Good Bagels
Cons: Abusive Management & Improper behavior

I stopped into a local MN store early A.M., after dropping my husband off at the airport, for a business trip... approximately 5:00 AM The Richfield MN store was supposed to be open at 6:00 AM.
The store opened 15 Mins. late - which was no big...

Pros: Excellent food
Cons: long lines

I visit this bagel restaurant very often. They make the best bagels i have ever had. The whole wheat bagels are especially delicious, depite the fact they are whole wheat which usually indicates a bland bagel. The plain or cinnemon raison bagels are...

Pros: delicious, good service
Cons: a little expensive

I love this place! It is soooooo good! Oh my gosh. They have the best bagels in the whole world. They have a lot of different varieties of the type of bagel you can get. More flavor than I have ever imagined. Their special "double-whipped"...

Pros: Fresh
Cons: The recipe they use in recent years: Not a real bagel texture.

Einstein Brothers bagels are baked fresh with plenty of toppings... but are they really bagels? When Baltimore bagels was purchased by Einstein Brothers almost a decade ago, they retained the original recipe.

But the bagels now have the same texture of rolls. If they are boiled prior to being baked, that would be a real surprise, because they sure don't taste like they were.

Pros: Definately the bagel wrapped hotdogs and the potato bagels
Cons: the salads are very high in calorie content

Oh, how I love Einsteins!?!-Well, I will tell you! Einstein's . . .

6.) smells really good
7.) is always fully stocked
8.) is very convenient-is located practically everywhere!

Pros: Flavor, variety.
Cons: Harmful levels of sodium

I was an Einstein regular for several years until I discovered a direct link between my daily Einstein bagel breakfast and high blood pressure. When I went off their bagels, my blood pressure regularized. I still succumb to the pleasures of eating one of their bagels, but only once in a blue moon.

If they could reduce the sodium content of their bagels (sodium spikes blood pressure), a lot of people would flock to Einstein again.

But for now, their bagels with 490-650 mg of sodium each are dangerous for those who are, or should be, on sodium-restricted diets. If you have blood pressure problems, or are at risk of stroke, try something else instead.

Pros: Great especially in the early morning
Cons: By closing time sometimes not as good

Best Cinnamon raisin bagels around. They are firm and chewy.They use lots of real raisins. Most chains or baged bagels skimp on the raisins. They cut one raisin in twenty pieces and call it a raisin filled bagel, Elaines bagels is famous for this. Not Einstein.
