Wow, what a find! We stopped by since all of the “breakfast ” establishments were packed. We were not disappointed. Even though the line was long, it moved quickly and efficiently for us to place our order to the extremely polite young lady behind the counter. A fancy bagel with strawberry cream cheese and an All-nighter breakfast croissant were soon announced to be picked up. I also drank a couple of cups of dark roast coffee. The place was hopping but never overly crowded.
We will return next tome we’re in town.

Visited my first time, and the Bagel’s were fantastic. We will be back!
We have been back many times, I can’t get away from the All-Nighter, and my daughter likes the Turkey/Bacon/Avocado. The staff at Einstein Bros. Bagels is always super nice, and they always answer my questions no matter what I need to ask. Our dog gets excited when we start to get close because he loves to get his treats!

Up until this week Einsteins has always been my favorite spot for the mornings. Me and my friend Rob come to this location religiously even when the construction made it take us an hour to get there. Always great service and great speed and efficiency. My friend Rob even has a very cool relationship with a guy named Drake I think that’s works there. I’ve always had a great experience until this week. I’ve gotten a bagel everyday this week and they have been burned badly and tastes horrible. Today was probably my last straw my friend Rob will definitely keep going there but I think I’m off of Einsteins forever. I’m very disappointed and offended that this has kept happening every day this week. Even when it wasn’t busy I still got a very bad bagel. Even after Monday morning when I told the people it was burned I didn’t want them to make another one because there were a lot of people behind me. I did expect them to not burn them again I understand it’s a company and things have to be fast sometimes but man I’m spending anywhere from 12- 24 dollars Everytime sometimes two and three times a day. I want to be able to at least eat what I’m spending my money on. I also have pics. Not saying its a bad place to eat I’m saying the opposite it’s a great place great staff and the bagels are great when they aren’t burned so badly they change the color of everything on your bagel
I want to update this review and let it be knowm it has gotten immensely better since this review I’m changing my review. I hope it stays that way because it was extremely disappointing for a while

I had Einstein Bros for the first time last week. In the last 7 days, I’ve been 3 times. I really like this place. I typically like bagels, but this place is one of the best spots I’ve been to. It’s rare to say that about a chain.
The food is great. Slightly pricy, but great. I’ve gotten the Avocado Toast Bagel, Chorizo Sunrise, and Turkey Avocado Sandwhich.
The Chorizo Sunrise is excellent and is now my new favorite. The avocado here tastes very fresh. Bagels are soft, but maintain texture without getting soggy. The eggs are surprisingly pretty good – coming from someone who RARELY eats fast-food egg.
The Avocoado Toast was good. If there was less everything bagel seasoning on top- I would like it better. If you love everything bagel, you’ll love this one.
Unfortunately the hasbrown side item was awful. Mushy, soggy, disgusting taste. Hard to finish.
The atmosphere inside is nice and it’s a very convenient spot to the U of A.
Aside from all the good stuff, I have one negative takeaway here… the service. I understand this spot is owned by locals and that employees don’t speak for the owners/ brand. However, after 3 experiences, I’ve had only one positive employee encounter. The employees are pretty dry and quickly ask you for payment. Upon paying for your $8+ bagel, they shove a massive plastic arm with a tip machine into your car. I’m all for tipping, usually go 25% at a sit-down. However on coffee/ breakfast I think it’s excessive. When I chose not to tip, the employee scoffed and slammed the door. My food took 5 minutes to come out. When I tipped on my next visit, they were extremely cheery.
Again, an employee cannot speak for the brand, but I think a tip arm getting shoved into my car is excessive. Tipping 20% on an egg and cheese bagel, puts you at $10. I like the food but for $10, I can make 10+ at home. Hopefully this is something that can be considered in the future. The food is good.

Clean, quick and friendly. One of the best Einstein’s I’ve been to. I had the farmhouse this morning- delicious, highly recommend. My husband had a ham and egg- also good. We wish we realized the coffee came with refills as we would have gotten size small. The indoor area is quite large. Lots of options when it comes to coffee/tea as they have honey, some spices (cinnamon, cocoa, nutmeg) and cream, milk and skim milk. Caribou coffee was delicious! The bathrooms were very clean and nice as well. They are single stall.

Went through the drive through and was specifically ordering 3 bagels with a tub of cream cheese on the side. The worker then said back to me “3 bagels with cream cheese” and I again, respecified that I wanted a tub of cream cheese on the side. She then says “okay 3 bagels and cream cheese on the side”. I get home and have 3 individual tablespoons of cream cheese in plastic ranch containers, hardly enough cream cheese for one bagel. I just wanted the tub.

Ive ordered off the app before and noticed theres not an option for no meat on the sandwich I wanted, so I called the location and told them I didn’t want the meat and what my order was. They said it back to me and I thought things were good till I got home and immediately realized it had meat I still love Einsteins I just dont like meat and usually I’ll take it off but I hate to waste it!!

I took the time to make this review because the customer service was extraordinarily kind and friendly. I didn’t catch her name but the girl at the drive-thru window is really elevating the drive-thru experience 🙂 of course bagels are fantastic as always!

I had a chocolate chip bagel with almond honey cream. We waited around 30 minutes in the drive through and it was unfortunately burnt.

I love the cinnamon sugar bagel with honey almond spread! The bagel is always soft and there is plenty of cream cheese. I keep telling myself I need to try something else but I just love this one so much! The staff is always friendly too.
