    Einstein's at Colorado Blvd & 9th Ave is where I go for Caribou coffee and a treat. I crave their walnut streudal and a cinnamon twist plus delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches on a bagel of your choice. Good customer service from everyone with"Mama Bear" always having kind word for me

    Two old guys at separate small tables, with their steaming cups of coffee and their bagels, talking easily, chatting about politics and sports. This is what a bagel place (or a coffee shop) is supposed to be like. Comfortable, comforting.

    The problem is that none of the three people who are behind the counter were there last week. They seem nice enough, but they are all new at this, and it shows. Here’s an applicable headline: “Employee turnover runs as high as 130% to 150%, according to industry measures.” That’s annually.

    I’m at Einstein Bros. Bagels, which is often included in surveys and articles about the Denver fast-casual phenomenon. I’m not sure it quite fits - I visited bagel places in the late ’70’s that were essentially the same. But Einstein’s started in the mid-Nineties and fits many of the other signifiers. From the attractive and humorous signage (most featuring Melvyn and Elmo, those fictitious Einstein brothers, and supposed founders) to the delightful varieties of bagels, to the frankly delicious breakfast sandwiches… Einstein’s offers a bagel’s perspective on fast-casual service.

    Einstein’s has a complex history. From what I can tell, their VERY FIRST shop actually opened in Salt Lake City, the second one in Denver. The company headquarters is in Golden, and Denver was the site of the first big push of franchises, so maybe that’s why it is categorized with Chipotle, Noodles, and the other Denver fast-casual operations.

    I love the Santa Fe breakfast sandwich - egg, turkey sausage, spicy Monterey Jack cheese, with Jalapeño Salsa shmear (the best ingredient) on an Asiago bagel, or a Green Chile or Jalapeño bagel if you are feeling adventurous. The Chorizo Sunrise offer better sausage - chorizo, of course - but also adds guacamole, which makes the whole combo just a little too much for me to manage. It has gotten all over my fingers and shirt enough times that I never order it anymore.

    The menu is good, then. Apparently, it’s mostly resistant to individual errors by new workers… or by workers who are bored and disinterested. But is this what we want when we visit a restaurant? Do the two old guys and their idle conversation make up for the uneasiness at the counter… and behind the scenes?

    There is a sort of Ponzi scheme underlying fast food (and fast-casual food, too), and it could be starting to fray at the edges. All the chef-inspired recipes and authentically sourced food may not be enough to keep this trend viable.

    Einstein bagels are my favorite, in Colorado, that is. The bagels are always fresh and tasty. Of course, you'll want a schmeer of cream cheese, and try the lox (thinly sliced salmon). There are many varieties of bagels and other menu items to choose from. The only reason I gave this particular location 4 stars is due to the location. It's on Colorado Blvd and if you eat outside, the traffic is deafening.
