I don't understand why this location has such bad reviews! Our experience was a pleasant one. Upon…read morewalking in, we both commented on how nice both the exterior and interior were. It looks like it's been recently updated and has a sleek, yet comfortable and cute style. The girl at the register was friendly and waited patiently while we bumbled around deciding what we wanted. At 1 pm on a Friday, the place was nearly empty, and the wait time for our food and coffee was not long. The menu is, of course, the same as all the other locations, and we noticed no variance in the quality or price of the food between this location and the recently-closed Golden Valley one. We had the Herbivore, the Hummus Veg Out, an iced latte, and a mocha. The Herbivore (your choice of bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese, arugula, tomato, and cucumber) is my usual, and we both agree it's our favorite thing on the menu. Boyfriend liked his Hummus Veg Out, but wished he'd gone with the Herbivore this time as well. The only time I can be persuaded to drink Caribou coffee is when it's my only option to accompany an Einstein Bros bagel, but it's just not good. My iced latte was, therefore, about as good as can be expected. Kinda bitter and watery, but it got the job done. I will miss getting to make quick morning runs to the Golden Valley location for the Herbivore and Einstein's dark roast! Overall, that location was better. But this one will do now that it's closed. Sayonara, GV Einstein! :(

We decided to try this place on a Sunday morning around 11:30am. It was not busy at all, which…read moreshould probably have been our first red flag. Maybe three people were there, all waiting for their orders. We have been to other Einstein Bros. locations and had great food and experiences, but not here. The person taking orders was not terribly friendly, but not too bad. They had clearly just burned something in the kitchen because the place was full of smoke and they went to prop the doors open while we ordered. The place was not very clean and the bench seats were very old with vinyl peeling off, the other seats seemed fine. I ordered a blueberry bagel, toasted, with butter and a vanilla cold press. My partner ordered an everything bagel with hot honey schmear and a plain cold press. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Rather than make our coffee right away the person stood with their back to us, watching the kitchen. There were two people working in the kitchen, so I don't know why things moved so slowly. We stood waiting for a good five minutes before we gave up and sat down. Finally they made our coffee. Instead of a vanilla cold press I got a vanilla latte. Oh well, I wasn't going to wait again for the right order and a vanilla latte is fine. The lid was not put on properly so when I went to pick it up the lid popped off and coffee spilled out everywhere. The person behind the counter looked at it and walked away. Fine, my mess so I was fine cleaning it up then going to wash my hands. The bathroom had a keypad on the door but the code was posted right on the keypad, so why? It would be easy enough to remove the keypad and skip the bother. After a good 20 minutes we finally got our bagels. My partner's bagel was fine, but my bagel tasted more like garlic than blueberry. Again, I wasn't going to wait for another bagel so I just ate it. Also, no apology or explanation for the delay, just drop the bag, call our name, walk away. There is a drive through but no customer was there either. The drive through attendant just stood there, also watching the kitchen. Overall a terrible experience. Next time we want bagels it will be worth the drive to go to a different store.

They also have a spot in White Bear Lake Here's what I'd recommend: Croissant Sandwich Iced Pistachio Latte Cinnamon Crunch Muffin (served warm) not pictured but looked great were the crepes-next time I'll have to try one. Fun tip, they have a drive through! Easy to swing through for a coffee and a treat quickly! A funky thing is that they share half of their building with a bank. Don't let that throw you off though because it's super cute inside to have a coffee date. For more awesome food spots check out the account mallorymademetryitmn on Instagram!

Kind of concerning how run down the place looked, rips all over in the seat s and only one other person eating in restaurant and not much of a selection of bagels and treats like I remember them having in the past.

I had to really look to see it was located on the corner in what looked like a business building. There is plenty of free parking. The service here was sweet and personable. There was an adorable African American woman working who was simply the sweetest! I wish we would have gotten her name! Excellent service from her!! We got a sandwich and a wrap! Both were done very well for being something so basic. My turkey bacon and ranch wrap was fresh! I would happily get this again! The drink options are in a can, not fountain and you can find plenty of chip options, included baked for my calorie counting friends! The seating is limited, so plenty of people took their meals to go like a Subway. There is also a small selection of sweet treats as well, but those will be for another trip! I would say if you are in the mood for a basic wrap, salad or sandwich done WELL, this is your place. No frills just done well!
