    I’ve been coming here for years and never had a problem. I did a mobile order today and on it was a chocolate milk. When I went to pick it up it they put a reg milk instead and didn’t tell me, I guess hoping I wouldn’t notice….That’s problem #1….I did notice and pointed it out only for the employee to tell me there was nothing they could do because the Einstein’s app is 3rd party…? So I asked if they would just refund in cash the $2.80 she said she could not and rambled some more about 3rd party app and I would need to go through them, but she didn’t know how to do it….That’s problem #2. The employee was nice and professional but trying to replace my drink with something I didn’t order & not telling me is dishonest….The explanation and result was ridiculous and unacceptable and made NO sense. I don’t usually complain about anything on these reviews but this was really annoying to me. What happened to the customer is always right?….Especially one that’s been coming here for years. Not good… 👎👎

    Very fast and delicious. But if you sell breakfasts you should at least have ketchup.

    The bagels, as always, were delicious. However, our drinks took so long to arrive that we had already finished our bagels by the time they came out. Everyone was friendly, but it seemed like the person making the drinks might have been new, and no one stepped in to help, even though it was just three drinks and there were staff members available. It would be great if they could improve the speed of the drink service to match the quality of the food.
