    I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and wonderfully soft the bagels were. The place had a welcoming and spotless setting that made the visit even nicer. The staff treated every guest with great care and attention.

    I have to admit this place has both indoor and outdoor seating super friendly service and a great rewards program so I started off with the six cheese bagel, toasted and cream cheese that seemed only arouse my appetite since it was lunchtime I had to have more so I came back and I got the pepperoni pizza bagel. It was worth it inside. Seating is nice. Music is great and the place smells absolutely delicious all the way through outdoor seating is nice and tranquil because it’s recessed back from the parking lot so you don’t have to deal with all the car sounds the pepperoni pizza bagel was super delicious. There’s so much more to try. I will be back.!

    First of all, I'm gonna base most of this on prices. I know things have gone up but $10 for a breakfast sandwich is just ridiculous, especially considering it's nothing special. Bagels, I give a solid 6.5 out of 10. They were good, but not great. I think they rank about the same as the Bagelry.

    I stopped by Einstein Bros. Bagels for breakfast and had a pretty good experience overall. The bagel itself was fresh and chewy, and the cream cheese had a nice flavor, though I wish they had spread on a bit more. Service was friendly, but things moved a little slower than I expected for a quick breakfast stop. The coffee was solid—nothing special, but it did the job. Prices felt a touch high for what you get, but it’s a convenient place if you’re craving a classic bagel and schmear.
