I came to this location today around 1:15 PM. I live nearby and have been a regular customer for a long time — I always buy bagels here and have never had any issues. There was a paper sign on the door that said “Cash Only.” Okay, no problem.
When I walked in, two women were inside — one younger, cleaning, and one older. As soon as the older woman saw me, she just walked out of the room. That already felt strange. I asked the younger one if they were open, and she said yes. So I asked if I could order, and she said yes again.
A few minutes later, the older lady came back and, without even looking at me, said loudly, “What does the paper on the door say?” I wasn’t sure if she was talking to me or someone else, but then she turned toward me with a rude tone and said, “As you can see, we’re having power issues — we can’t do anything, it’s ringed out.”
I replied that the sign on the door only said “Cash Only” — it didn’t say “Closed.” I had asked several times if they were open, and I was told yes. She then said, “Do you even have cash?” in a very dismissive tone. I said, “Yes, I do, but after this attitude, I don’t feel like buying anything anymore.”
I also mentioned that I live right next door and have been a loyal customer for a long time. I’ve never been treated like this here. Honestly, I was shocked and really disappointed. Today, they lost not only power but also customer service.
This experience left me feeling hurt and upset — it’s not about the bagel, it’s about basic respect.

Been coming here every Monday and always been greeted with a smile. Bagles are superb and my favorite is poppy seed. Mario the manager always obliges and Julie is awesome. Bagles are always baked fresh and taste is always the same.

It's at a great location, lots of parking and tons of great bagels!..., I like the one with t eggs and Turkey in it and it comes out hot and the coffee comes with free refills...that's the best! You gotta check it out.

Normalmente no escribo reseñas, pero lo que presencié hoy en esta tienda de bagels fue inaceptable. Como persona que valora el respeto y el buen servicio, me sorprendió ver a un empleado acosando a una mujer solo por hacer una pregunta sobre su sándwich. Fue grosero, poco profesional y totalmente innecesario.
Nadie merece ser tratado de esa manera, especialmente los clientes que pagan. Espero que la gerencia tome esto en serio, capacite nuevamente a su personal y entienda que la buena comida no vale nada sin buen carácter.

This Einstein Bagels location is completely useless in the way they don’t keep track of orders. I placed my order through Uber Eats around 10:30 a.m. for an 11:30 a.m. delivery. The driver messaged me saying the bagel I wanted for my sandwich was no longer available. I told him I didn’t want it, but he said there was nothing he could do because the store had already made it with a replacement bagel I never agreed to.
On top of that, my delivery was pushed back from 11:30 to 11:55. I called the store twice—both times it went to voicemail. When someone finally answered, the young lady I spoke with was very dismissive and gave no clarity about when the order was made or given to the driver. When I asked for a manager, I was told they weren’t available and that I needed to go through Uber Eats instead.
At the end of the day, this location didn’t do a great job. They may need a better process for handling substitutions and tracking when food is given to drivers, so customers don’t end up frustrated and without the meal they actually ordered.
