One of the great breakfast staples for me growing up in New Jersey was a bagel with cream cheese. In fact, a bagel and cream cheese might be the second most common breakfast that I had, second only to a Taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich (or depending on where you are from in the Garden State, it might be called a pork roll, egg and cheese. Either way, it is delicious). When I moved to Florida back in 2001, I made the rather unpleasant discovery to learn that great bagels really were not a common thing down here in the Sunshine State and for my bagel fix, I would have to rely often on chain restaurants like Einstein Bros. Bagels. And while Einstein Bros. Bagels cannot compete with the great independent bagel shops I grew up and lived in New Jersey, well, to paraphrase Dorothy in the classic 1939 movie :The Wizard of Oz," we ain't in Jersey a anymore. The staff here was okay. Not great, but not terrible. This particular location of Einstein Bros. Bagels has the typical no-frills bagel shop ambiance. There is nothing wrong with that. Bagel shops are not supposed to be fancy or upscale because, let's be honest, there is nothing fancy about a bagel. The bagels and cream cheese overall were fine. Nothing great like New Jersey, but again, to paraphrase Dorothy, "we ain't in Jersey anymore." Overall, I will give here four stars. read more

Can't go wrong with a breakfast sandwich Our sandwiches were made to order , great flavor selection for the bagels if you get there early enough. We all know the popular ones sell out. Luckily we made it to get the apple cinnamon bagel which had nice flavor and the cheesy hashbrown bagel was great too, had a nice crunch to it after being toasted. We ordered 2 turkey sausage , egg and cheese sandwiches on the bagels. The vanilla hazelnut hot coffee is sooo yummy if you enjoy those flavors I recommend for sure. We didn't have room for the pastries but they looked good, maybe next time read more

In my previous review I dinged this Einstein location for being stingy with the cream cheese and not very friendly. This morning as I was eating my farmhouse bagel I noticed that they have pretzel bagels so I had to try one. The bagel itself was very good and it had a ton of cream cheese. The staff was also friendly so I'm giving them an extra star. read more

I like Einstein Bagels. The bagels are always fresh and they have a good variety of bagels. My favorite is the Avocado sandwich, Everything Bagel, Green Chile and the Cheddar Jalapeño Bagel. Went at this location for the first time. I was expecting a drive through, but they don't have it at this location. Had to go inside to order. Currently they only have take out. The place looked clean. The person who took my order and the cashier...both were friendly. I ordered Cheddar Jalapeño Bagel with light vegetable cream cheese. I don't like a lot of cream cheese. They made it perfect. read more

Immediately charged us for 2 egg patties for our bagel sandwich instead of just the one, which made me feel as though they were "scamming me" and not offering the 1 egg option, which in my opinion, makes the bagel sandwich taste better.

I used to go for breakfast here every single day. Buyer BEWARE!!! The bagels may be tasty, but don't be fooled by those surveys on the bottom of your receipt enticing you with freebies. If you happen to fill them out with anything less then perfect, you will hear it from the manager. My bagels were covered in melted blue plastic. I left a review just so that the upper echelons know what had happened with the supposed faulty brand new cutting boards. The next day, whew did I get reamed at the restaurant. I left crying and have never been back. This has got to be the worst customer service experience ever. I felt like a belittled fool for paying someone to yell at me and make me cry! read more

Let me begin this by saying I LOVE Einstein's Bagels. It's one of my favorite breakfast places ever. Their food and their service is typically excellent. Their location of 434 in Altamonte is the exception. In fact, I can't think of a more unprofessional restaurant experience not only as a customer, but also in my 15 years in the restaurant industry. I put in an order for pickup on DoorDash because I was running late to work and I needed it to be ready when I got to the store. When I arrived at the restaurant, I gave them my name. For EVERY other restaurant I've picked up from through DoorDash (there have been MANY), that should be enough info to give the order out. The clerk insisted that she see the order on my phone which was in the car. I was a bit frustrated but I ran out to my car to grab my phone. When I came back in to the store, the manager on duty was screaming at me telling me that I opened their door to aggressively when I walked out of the store. She said she needed my name for a police report. Nothing was damaged. Nothing was wrong. I'm not going to wait around for the cops to just ask me a bunch of questions, shrug their shoulders, and not do anything. Also, I was already late for work and just wanted my order. She then tells me that she will refuse to give me MY order that I PAID for because she wanted me to stay around for the cops. Which, once again, nothing was wrong, she just didn't like my "attitude." I had to reach behind the counter to get the food they accepted my payment for and practically "escape" from this restaurant with them all trying to stop me. They even put their hands on me which, after speaking to my lawyer, I can sue for. Haven't decided whether to pursue that or not. I just wanted coffee and bagels. If you choose to go to this location make sure you don't touch anything in a way that can be perceived as "aggressive" because they'll absolutely try to keep your money without giving you your product. I normally love Einsteins and I go to their restaurants 2-3 times a week. However, after this experience, I'll just stick to Starbucks. read more

I've been to the Altamonte location many times and always had a good experience, but today I didn't have that great of an experience. It wasn't the long line or the staff, it was the fact that I went home with two bagel sandwiches that had no egg in them. I ordered egg on both my sandwiches and even had it on the receipt, but as soon as I opened my sandwich, I only had bacon and cheese on mine and the other sandwich as well. I called the location and they prepared two other sandwiches for me, but I had to make an unplanned drive to their location because they didn't get the order right the first time. I do no live close by, so it would have been nice if they would have offered something else to make up for the fact that I had to drive there. When I got there, they apologized for it and just gave me the two sandwiches properly made (the way it should have been the first time). I'm disappointed with this place and I get it people make mistakes, but as someone who has gone to this place a bunch of times, it would have been nice to be offered something to make up for the inconvenience... read more

Visited over the weekend after really craving a breakfast sandwich. Was a little disappointed to see that there was no inside seating and forced to order to-go. On a positive they are strictly enforcing COVID regulations. There was some outdoor seating but seemed to be more tables than chairs. We got our food and ate in the car in the parking lot. They were also out of some of their coffee options but still offered self service fountain drinks. read more

Please let the store know that a little kindness goes a long way. Especially with people with TBI's, making decisions are hard. She even argued with me that a chocolate croissant, was just pastry not a croissant. Less cream cheese, it was stated to me they only give a 2 oz. maximum, so order the extra to get o What you used to get. read more

Ok, let me start off by saying that I would leave at least 3.5 stars on this place because their food is delicious and coffee is ok. HOWEVER, who in their right mind as a company who sells bagels, charges the customer to put butter on a bagel??!? If you wanna charge for cream cheese, fine; it's expensive. But butter... to charge for BUTTER... the minuscule amount that goes on a bagel??? Come on !!! Employees, great. Service great. Atmosphere is great. Both inside and outside dining available.

Einstein Bagel in Altamonte has been a staple of my life since about I was in high school and having not-so-productive study sessions here. Nowadays, I stop in here at least 2 times a week for a morning fix of everything bagels and coffee before I sit unproductively in front of my desk all day. The manager here has been in place for a long time now and it shows in the ability and consistency of the shop between those high school years and now. Einstein's has always had a friendly staff and likes to get to know their customers. When I walk in now, I'm greeted with a "Hey Mike" before I even place my order. Now that I've gotten the bias out of the way, Einstein really is a quaint little place by the northeast corner of the 434/436 intersection in Altamonte. It's always clean and is a great place just to hang out and read the paper or a book if you've got some free time to drink some coffee. Service is spot on, but can slow down at times in the morning when there are a lot of people, which can overload the staff a bit. Other than that, Einstein is a great little spot where you can either sit down for a while or grab a quick bite on the way to work or for lunch. The bagels are big and flavorful, they'll even toast it twice if you want it. Everything bagels are a must have, as long as you're not going to be talking to anyone for a majority of the day. They're good nonetheless. They have in the neighborhood of 20 different types of bagels which can be used in their full menu of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I'm a bit myopic with what I get here, but the times I have eaten the sandwiches have been very good. Note on the coffee: Get the Vanilla-Hazelnut. Great balance and flavor against their European Roast which is a bit heavy and tends to taste like syrup the longer it stands. read more

Einstein's hands down deserves five stars because their bagels, shmeers, & French vanilla hazelnut coffee is the best outside of NY!! I tried quite a few different bagels & shmeers but I have to admit the garlic bagel I brought home & toasted with my go-to Breakstone's butter was awesome!! The bagel tastes delicious & is not overly doughy. It's crispy, yet still surprisingly light texture is superb & truly unparalleled to any other bagel found anywhere in Florida.

The staff here were engaged in a conversation about scheduling while I stood and waited to place my order with no one else in line. The selection and locating itself are smaller, although the location is prime - at the intersection for 434 and 436 in Wekiva Springs. The bagels are never in question at Einstein.

We arrived just after the lunch rush, which gave me time to really study the menu board... and wow, there were so many tempting options. I went with the Wobble savory crepe, loaded with turkey, chicken, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and tomato. They recommended the Cajun remoulade, but I swapped it for blue cheese--and let me tell you, that was an excellent call. An absolute home run. One of the things I really appreciated was being able to watch the crepes made from start to finish. Everything looked fresh, and they were more than happy to customize ingredients along the way--no hassle at all. The staff was pleasant and friendly, the dining area was spotless, and since the weather was perfect, we chose to eat on the patio, which made the experience even better. My only complaint? They don't have a location in Oklahoma! We do have a crepe spot back home, but I've never tried their savory crepes. After this visit, I'm inspired to give it another shot--though The Crepevine set the bar pretty high. Fantastic lunch, great atmosphere, and well worth the stop.

The crepes themselves are made fresh and arrive genuinely warm, which is half the battle. I ordered the buffalo chicken crepe and appreciated the good kick it had. The fillings were competent but unremarkable, nothing that made me think "I need to come back for that specific crepe." The chicken had a tendency to slide toward the bottom as I ate, which was a bit of a nuisance especially when your first 2-3 bites are all lettuce and tomato If you're looking for something easy and quick to grab for lunch, The Crepevine delivers. It's the kind of place where the experience is enjoyable partly because of what it is rather than it being exceptional at what it does. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a good spot to pop in with friends or grab something on your way. If I'm in the area and want something a little different from the usual lunch routine, I'd happily return.

Diners are a…read morecompletely American thing that started in America as a mobile eatery and has transformed into what it is now, which are stationary eateries that feature affordable, filling food that appeals to the blue collar man. Fun fact, diners were started in New England region of America in the 1850s. All this to say, I love a good diner. I mean the American diner has always been there for middle America. The closest one to me and honestly it's definitely hidden away is the Maitland Breakfast Club. It's pretty much situated on the boundary line of where the City of Altamonte Springs starts. They have large space that's casual and what you would expect for a diner. Anyone can walk in wearing their Sunday best to pajamas. The waitresses are very welcoming and exactly the kind of person I would expect to invite me into a diner. We had gone on a Saturday afternoon and they're not a diner that's open late, so more of a breakfast diner really. Now I got the eggs Benedict with bacon and hash browns. For me, there are three breakfast staples I believe all amazing must revisit breakfast places should have. A good cup of warm regular coffee, eggs Benedict, and good crispy hash browns. I mean some places have other things like lattes and hash brown bowls, and I'm not saying those aren't good. However, when you nail the basics, you can do anything else. The hollandaise sauce was great and didn't split and bacon was crispy. The hash browns were super crispy, which I loved, and I could tell it had been made on a flat top grill, which is another very classic American restaurant kitchen appliance. The cup of coffee was good, I mean they had the sugar packets and the creamers right there. Overall, I would rate it a 9/10 and it set us back about $15 for just my portion.

Various flavored mimosas were enjoyed also. I went again last week with local friends as all three of us enjoy this place (and its mimosas!!) One friend tried the Chunky Chicken Salad on the menu (seasonal fruits and berries with zucchini bread sandwiches) and commented on the presentation (which Briarpatch is also well known for) and the freshness of the fruit. She especially enjoyed the zucchini sandwiches! Her husband ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich as it is one of his favorites on the menu. He devoured every bite of it and was very pleased with the tenderness of the beef and the flavor of the au jus. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict as I eyed it a few weeks back. It did not disappoint! Plenty of shredded, perfectly cooked short rib was on a bed of crispy hash browns. Two poached eggs covered in hollandaise sauce sat nicely on top of this amazing dish. It was heaven! Based on the above, I trust you can understand why I love this place. Outdoor seating, exemplary service each and every time I visit and food that is picture-perfect and tastes outstanding. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend the Briarpatch!

Upon entering the staff was very friendly, and Welcoming us in....our Cashier was knowledgeable and helpful with choosing our order, he even recommended a coffee to accompany our Bagels we were told about the bagel of the day and was allowed to try out a few of the cheese spread , I choose savory the Roasted Jalapeño is my all-time you think it would be overly spicy it's actually a nice balance between the cream cheese and freshly chopped Jalapeños on a warm Asiago and pesto bagel was the best thing I had all week!!! My daughter order the Sweet Bagel cinnamon and sugar with the strawberry cheese spread was incredible delicious . This place was clean, well lit and smells amazing!! Plus today was national bagel day! Go check them out !!

I honestly would not recommend this restaurant for great bagels. The flavor of their bagels is…read moreoverall very bland. I was absolutely shocked when I ordered the Asiago everything bagel that had zero flavor and tasted like just like a French baguette. No notes of Asiago cheese, onion or garlic. It's very disappointing because I was so very excited to have a great new bagel place to be a repeated customer of. But I've gone twice and each time everyone has agreed that the bagels have no flavor. On top of the bagels being bland the cream cheese is put on the side. Some people may like that, but I'd prefer for the cream cheese to be applied already to my bagel. Not to also mention that it's over priced. For a bagel and cream cheese it ends up being ~ $5 with tax. I think this place would be better if they maybe at least made bagel sandwiches like salmon and locs, bacon/egg/cheese etc. I had a chance of trying their coffee and even that was underwhelming. The only redeeming factor was that their employees are nice -- which you can't go wrong there! But as a whole, what I'm looking for in a bagel restaurant, they just don't have.

The eggs were cheesy and perfectly cooked not dry at all! The fresh bread was incredible, and dipping it into the ezme was a must have choice. I also had the Turkish tea and coffee, both of which were rich, and spot on. Vibes: Relaxed and cozy, great for small to medium sized groups. It does get busy, and since you pick your own table, it can be a little tricky if you're coming with a larger group. But overall the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and perfect for a chill breakfast. Service: Excellent! Our waitress gave phenomenal recommendations. I usually ask the staff what their favorites are, and she delivered everything she suggested was a hit for me and my friends.

Eggs Up Grill in Apopka is easily one of the best brunch spots I have been to in the area. I…read morestarted with the garlic grits, which were thick, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with crispy bacon on top that added just the right amount of salt and texture. The crab Benedict was exceptional, featuring well-seasoned crab cakes paired with perfectly poached eggs and a light, flavorful hollandaise. Each bite was rich without being overwhelming. The Baja omelette was packed with savory chicken and complemented by fresh avocado that kept the dish bright and balanced. The lemon blueberry pancakes were a real standout. They were light, fluffy, and had a bright citrus flavor that paired beautifully with the sweetness of the blueberries. Everything felt fresh and carefully prepared. The brunch cocktails are also worth mentioning. The Peach Stand Mimosa was sweet but not too heavy, making it a perfect pairing for a late morning meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. This is the kind of place where you want to linger over your food and enjoy a relaxed brunch with friends or family.

They served me burnt toast, I sent it back and they fixed it. The potatoes are disgusting. The aftertaste is similiar to old frying oil. The pancakes were plain and tasteless, they needed vanilla in the mix or a better tasting mix. You have to open many of these tiny butter packets to get enough for the pancakes, which were barely warm. The worst is the bacon tastes terrible. But, I got it very crispy and I asked for no crispy on the bacon and I received it all in bits and pieces. See pix below. My spouse says that the grits are not as creamy as other restaurants, but not bad. Lastly, the coffee is so bad and at $3.89 a cup, it would have been great if it's worth the overpriced taste. The wait staff was rude and got impatient with me when I showed her the burnt toast. Her attitude needs a more positive approach. She made me uncomfortable whenever she spoke to me. We have unanimously decided that this place has no friendly vibes while you're there. Their metal chairs are very uncomfortable and very low for taller people. I wouldn't recommend Eggs Up to anyone.
