    As with most airport restaurants; I just popped in for a bagel and drink to go. I got the Nova Lox on an everything bagel and a Coke. The bagel was nice and fresh and the lox tasted absolutely amazing. Even the tomatoes were bright red and juicy.

    The Einstein bagels in Charlotte, NC airport in terminal E was awful. Poor service, messy half done sandwich with no flavor whatsoever...paid 33 dollars for two awful breakfast sandwiches. I'd give them a 0 star if I could. First and last time I'll be stopping there or at any Einstein, that's for sure. Do better people!

    The food itself was fine, nothing to complain about there. I grabbed a breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel, and it was toasted just right with that nice cheesy crust. The egg was your standard fast-food patty, but it did the job and tasted decent. Where this place really loses points is the service. The staff seemed overwhelmed, which I understand during a morning rush, but there’s a big difference between busy and rude. The woman handing out orders was clearly frustrated and it showed, snapping at customers and tossing out bags with a “I don’t know, here you go” when people asked simple questions about which sandwich was theirs. When multiple people order the same sandwich on different bagels, it’s not unreasonable to expect some clarity. Instead, the experience felt chaotic and unwelcoming. The food might earn a casual breakfast stop, but the attitude behind the counter makes it hard to want to return.
