Einstein Bros. Bagels

Next time I'll be back with my friends. This place has a nice feel to it.

Super friendly and fresh food to keep us fueled up

This is my favorite Einstein Bros Bagels location, not because of the great food, but the amazing customer service by TIM! I remember one time they messed up my order (it was a big order, and they were busy), where they forgot to give me my Blueberry Muffin, and the Smearfuls (filled bagel balls, think Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts) were rock hard (probably they didn't keep it in the oven long enough to bake). I called the store, and complained to Tim. He told me to come back next time and he'll make it right. Next day, with my order he gave me 2 blueberry muffin and an order of Smearful well done.

I come to Einstein Bros Bagels often, especially this location, because it's conveniently located near where I live in downtown. The place looks ghetto from the outside (front and back), as it shares a shady parking lot with Dominos Pizza. But inside it's clean and cozy; definitely one of the smaller Einstein Bros Bagels compared to the ones on 1300 South and 3300 South.

I dislike how all the Einstein shops run out of the gourmet bagels by noon, and only have ones that you can't really eat a sandwich with (imagine Pumpernickel, French Toast, or Cranberry bagel with Egg or Tuna Salad-no thank you!). But the times they do carry my favorite bagels (Green Chile, Jalapeño Cheddar, Six Cheese, Spinach Florentine), which I usually pair with Spinach, Mushroom & Swiss Egg Sandwich, Albacore Tuna Salad Sandwich, Hummus Veg Out Sandwich, and the new Supernova Salmon Sandwich-they're amazing! It comes with a Pickle or a side of (Fruit Cup, Chips, or Potato Salad), I always get the fruit cup. Most importantly, ask them to toast or warm the bagels, there's a world of difference in taste when it's warm (Six Cheese!).

As for sides, try their new Cheesy Hash Brown side, they're good if you like baked cheesy potatoes; personally I prefer my potatoes non-cheesy. The Smearfuls are great too (comes in 1, 3, or 12), they have Cookies and Cream, French Toast, Plain, and Asiago-I only get Asiago now. As per drinks, I like their Cold Press with Vanilla Hazelnut creamer (thank you Tim for introducing it to me), it has the perfect balance between the bitter Cold Brew and the sweet Vanilla Hazelnut cream. I like their Lattes-Mocha or Caramel High Rise (a tad bit too sweet); I recommend a hybrid of both. If you want something cool, I like their Vanilla Cooler over their Chocolate or Caramel cooler (think Coffee Coolatta from Dunkin Donuts). I'm not a big fan of their Strawberry Banana Smoothie, I think they should leave that to Jamba Juice.

I'll still be coming here often, and recommend everyone to try out their Bagels-you won't be disappointed!
