Einstein gets some points for being the only bagel place in the area we could find open at 6 AM on a Sunday. This was my first time ever going to one. I got an avocado toast bagel and a dragon fruit lemon drop refresher. They were both pretty good-the bagels are lighter than what I'm used to. read more

Shouldn't be "forcing" people to tip. There was no option to say "no tip", it just said "$1, $2, $5, or more". Felt like I had to choice so I just clicked on $1 because the screen didn't move for me to pay. read more

These are too cute and really good and afordable lol. Enjoy. As well the avocado 1 egg sandwich bagel. read more

The customer service here is lacking .. I asked for no ice for a drink and they refused to sell it to me. Only this location that has a problem customizing drinks. Idk if it's the manager or what hovering around the cashier but they def could use some hospitality as much as one bagel and shmear costs. read more

So, this is my first time trying Einstein on the east coast my ugh, I was disappointed. Not sure why, but the west coast locations had more love in their bagels and drinks. Their brisket bagels had more meat and more than 1 jalapeño provided. Their caramel iced coffee, tasted exactly like caramel iced coffee - not cereal milk. It was decent for a quick breakfast hunger, but... west coast me from now on. read more

I frequent many bagel specific spots like naval bagels and others. This is my first time trying einstein in Annapolis. I thought the severna park location was fantastic. I ordered my bagels for pick up and the staff was very quick and efficient. The inside was large and had plenty of seating. Unfortunately when it came to my bagel I believe they forgot the cheese. There was not much flavor to my bagel which I'm kind of sad about. I ordered the garden avocado egg sandwich. I feel like if the cheese wasn't forgotten it would have been better, and I'm not sure if it's normal for eggs to be sort of discolored/green but they don't taste the best either. All in all, I don't know if I'll be returning to this location. I spent $17 for two bagels for me and my boyfriend but I don't even know if I want to finish mine. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I went in when they opened and they had great bagel flavors. Their boxes are easy to carry!!

As my wait grew to 5 minutes of watching 2 employees busy with called in orders, I finally had to ask about customers standing in front of them and waiting. Got nothing but "can't you wait while we fill these orders". Will limit my visits in the future. There are other options in Annapolis for sure. read more

The sandwich was good that's about it. I never really have problems here but this one time was bad. I got a avocado, sausage, cheese on an everything bagel. Came out in like 2 minutes which isn't bad but the cheese was not even melted... also it was probably the most fake looking pieces of avacado I've seen. I'd avoid it unless you're going to just get an egg sandwich with nothing on it. Lots of better places. read more

I see why they only have 2 stars. Went in today to get a quick bite. Asked for a toasted ONION with brisket and 2 eggs, I even paid for the extra egg. Repeated the order twice. Got in the car and on the road only to get a cold everything bagel with no egg. Please tell me how someone can screw that up? Got on the phone to call and of course no answer. Lesson learned. If you're not gonna eat in and check your food, buyer beware! read more

Walked into establishment and workers were in the back chatting. Stood there for 3-4 minutes before worker came from back. I asked her how she was to which she did not reply. Started giving her my bagel choices to which she stopped me mid sentence and asked," How many?" ( mind you all behind a mask). I asked her to repeat herself and she said( loudly), " HOW MANY?" She seemed quite impatient. I told her 12... when I had lost count, I asked her how many more I had to reach 12. She replied," 4. As I began to look at the selections again, she said," 4, what do you want?" At this point, I completely slowed down my selection process because I was pissed. A few minutes later, another employee walked back into the store and went to the register. The other employee, huffed and walked away! read more

Bottom Line: A decent place for a bagel, soda or coffee. If I really want a good bagel then I head to Naval Bagels or Uber Bagels but on a Friday morning when I was in the area I found Einstein's to be a decent place for a quick breakfast. The employees were friendly, the restaurant was quiet and clean and they had my beloved Diet Coke on the soda fountain. I had the farmhouse sandwich on a pretzel bagel. The farmhouse has egg, cheese, ham and bacon on it so it was a hearty choice. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Einstein Bros Bagels near Annapolis Towne Centre. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Got a dozen bagels. The server was sweet. This location in Annapolis has not reopened dine in yet. I've seen negative reviews because of this and while that's a legit reason for a more negative review it is not the case for me. The bagels are still great as is the service so my rating reflects that. I rarely get to eat Einstein Bagels so I'm just happy when I get the chance. If you don't mind only having the take out option this the place. read more

The price for what you get is not great. You can't sit inside? It's a huge place with no seating. Weird. The staff members were friendly though. read more

30 minute Waite in line. Ordered, then waited 20 minutes for them to tell me they didn't have part of my order, then another 20 for them to have what they did have available ready. No indoor seating available. I definitely will not be back to this location. read more

The food is typical bagels and bagel sandwiches ordinary. The thing that annoyed me is they have a very nice area to sit, relax and meet and/or work. It is CLOSED!! Why? Haven't they heard that other restaurants are serving and doing well. I was to meet two friends here this morning and had call and change venues to another bagel place a few blocks away. Why a two rating, no tables, personalities in the restaurant flat and seem likely not interested. read more

Where's the Schmear? I bought two of these things on Saturday and apparently Einstein Bros were out of cream cheese (Schmear)! I even added one ounce of additional salmon to bring the total for each sandwich to over 10 each. Without cream cheese they are not the same. Off to Naval Bagels next time. read more

9:00 a.m. and only one variety of bagel (poppy seed, with almost no poppy seeds). Employees all focused on their phones. Never again. read more

I get everything is expensive but the price of one cheese bagel and a plain was $5.90. Nothing special, same dough consistency as Dunkin doughnuts. The staff was super friendly however I won't be back. read more

No problems here. The bagels are pretty good. I usually come for an egg and cheese bagels. The service is fine, and the waits are reasonable. They make your order fresh with a great variety. The coffee is really good. Portions are plenty. Oh, and lots of yummy sweets too, like great cookies. read more

Actually, we did. We got some bagels and cream cheese this morning. You guys are awesome!

It's super clean! Inside dining is still closed due to COVID but there's a spacious patio with tables and umbrellas. Two-person crew working and they were both very kind and quick in taking and preparing orders. I'm not sure why all the old negative reviews but I'd say this location has turned a corner. Will be back! read more

I came in looking for something light and quick to eat. I decided on the ham and cheese on a toasted potato roll. I had the option of sides and I chose the fruit cup. In the past, I've been a fan of their bagels, but I'm watching my carb intake, so I didn't purchase any. The cashier was pretty friendly, but the staff was doing a lot of personal conversations behind the counter. I noticed a huge garbage bag in a trash can overflowing in the kitchen area. A woman, who seemed to be the supervisor, made a worker remove the trash can from sight. The wait for my food was pretty quick, so I grabbed my bag and went home. The sandwich would've been so much better if the bread wasn't so darn hard! It was difficult to eat. It was thick and extra chewy. I opened my fruit cup and clearly the strawberries in this mix were old and had mold on them. Everyone knows that fresh fruit doesn't last long, especially strawberries. I have no clue why the fruit wasn't checked before they even sold it. Major disappointment and a waste of my money. If I lived closer, I would've taken it back and complained. Instead, I just tossed it and made a mental note never to come to this location ever again. read more

Great place for a convenient, tasty, reasonable breakfast. Location is central and convenient. Coffee set up amd variety of food excellent

Worst Einstein bros I've ever ordered from. Toasted plain bagel with vegetable cream cheese ended up being a warm untoasted bagel with a whisper of some kind of orange stuff that tasted like cheese from out of a can. Maybe 3 drops worth. This place deserves to go out of business. Hopefully soon. read more

I go here all the time - at least once a week. My standby is the tasty turkey. It comes with turkey and chive cream cheese. Ive tried the tuna on bagel with red onion and tomato and thats fantastic as well. Its never crowded! My favorite part is they serve CARIBOU COFFEE!!! I get the mocha with half the amount of chocolate they usually put and iced. Its my favorite coffee spot in all of Annapolis (even beats out some of the local yocal owned places). This location has very friendly staff - much better than the ones at Towson University! read more

Nice and fast service. Not artisanal bagels but easy, convenient and affordable. I love this place. I go once a week. The service is fast and the staff is pleasant. I love the iced tea and I'm in and out on a Saturday morning in 15 min. There is tons of seating and people come and go. read more

I'm not sure why Einstein Bros gets such a poor rap with people. While it's nowhere near as good as a local bagel shop, it's much better than places like Dunkin Donuts. This location turned out great service and had our meal up in minutes. The location, there's ample, free parking, is clean and the staff is helpful. What more could you ask for from a chain that brings lots of value? Now we all know Einstein Bros doesn't make everything from scratch. That's obvious. The bacon that goes on the sandwiches taste microwaved, as many the other ingredients tastes like they're frozen and not fresh. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with their bagels sandwiches particularly for someone that's in a hurry which is why we come to this chain. You can get in and out in a hurry without spending too much money. I enjoy their bagels. I think they're much better then what's available at Panera nearby or the Dunkin Donuts down the street. Their coffee and teas are better quality here as well. Hands down, if you're in the need of a breakfast item or even a bagel sandwich for lunch you'll find better value, quality and service here then you would have a place like Dunkin Donuts, Subway or any fast food chain. read more

This place... I don't know what's wrong with the staff here, it's puzzling. It's a pretty new location and nice-looking inside. On a visit today, I came in just after 11 AM and they were out of plain bagels. What? You didn't think to make more between the breakfast rush and the lunch hour? Then my lox bagel had such a miserly amount of lox that it made me laugh, but it still tasted good so whatever. But the next guy to get a lox bagel waited for his order only to be told they were out of lox. He handed them an unopened package of lox from their to-go section, and they were like, ohhhh, right, we sell that. Made me wonder if they stiffed me on lox because they thought they were running low, and also it confuses me how a bagel place can run out of 1) bagels and 2) lox... at 11 AM... on a Monday. I wonder if there's a competent manager at this location or if it's just a really bad day for the staff. Nice guys but it's like they hired them two hours ago. read more

Before covid, we used to go here every Sunday as a family tradition. We love bagels. But this location has totally gone downhill after covid. If any business complains about going out of business from covid then it is most certainly their own fault. First of all, the mask mandate and restrictions are over and this location still doesn't let people dine in. Why??? Because the staff doesn't want to clean tables let's be real. And the staff is rude. No greeting. A bunch of people standing around working slow as all get up. The food takes forever. It's literally a bagel not a steak, not sure what is taking so long. They took away the vanilla sweet creamer in the self service station. Their outdoor eating area have no trash cans nearby. The whole thing is a big fail. Never going back. read more

This place is in a good spot (between West Street and Whole Foods). It has its own parking lot, but is also a convenient walk from a lot of places (like the Firestone across the street...don't get run over crossing West). Inside it's very big, with a whole lot of space AND seating. High ceilings and a variety of tables/booths make it pretty great for any group. They have wifi and bottomless coffee (multiple types) so it's an all around great place to go. The food is consistent and tasty, and the service I saw was fine (a couple of people weren't watching the counter, just restocking bagels. That may have bothered me, but the manager (i think?) said something to them and was really helpful when she helped me). So if there are problems, at least they're watching out. They brought my order to the table, which was a nice touch that didn't leave me lingering around the counter. My biggest complaint is this: it's loud in here. I had hoped to get some work done while I waited on my vehicle...and it was difficult. The music in this place is REALLY loud...maybe not if you;re just sitting with friends eating, but I couldn't complete a conference call without multiple comments about it sounding like I was at a concert. Even with headphones in, it's loud. They also have a semi-open ceiling, so AC noise kind of bleeds down. While this wouldnt stop me from dropping in with friends, I doubt I could come back here to work again. Power outlets are available, but only at a high top table and select other tables. So if you want a booth to work from, you may be out of luck. To the management: turn down your music and you're half way to capturing more customers. Add some power outlets and be friendly to the work from home crowd. With those changes I'd probably go 4 stars. Without them I still feel like I got what I paid for. read more

Customer service today (5/1/2015) was abysmal. Two people were cleaning and did not speak and barely acknowledged us. Then after the cashier decided to stop sweeping long enough to take our order, she took her good ol' time scooping my chili. read more

Love their bagels. I usually get mine to go for home. Toasts up great. Have ordered breakfast sandwich a few times and were pretty decent. Was there yesterday and noticed an ad at register for Schmerefuls, and I mentioned that they looked good. Cashier said, To Be Honest, They Are Not That Great If Not Eaten Right Away While Warm. Coming from the hospitality and food service business, was appreciative for the honesty. Corporate might not like it, but I do. Location is always clean and quiet. read more

The 3 stars are for excellent coffee and consistent food. Everything else sucked and gets no stars. My first review: Food is consistently good. Coffee is excellent. Customer service is 'Meh and always slow. My 2nd visit: Coffee is excellent. I received a order that was SIMILAR TO what I ordered but definitely not what I ordered; I almost was going to eat it anyway but went up to address it. I was told "it'd just take a minute" to make the right order, so I told them 'thanks, sure!' I was then refunded for what they served me but then CHARGED for the fixed/correct order, which shocked me! It's been 15 minutes and I have yet to receive the fixed order..I was told that they didn't actually MAKE my correct order because they weren't old sure if I wanted it...and they are now out of the kind of bagels I had come in to order! They're teetering on the edge of losing my business completely! I told them so and walked out read more

Thanksgiving day I went to Einsteins because another bagel shop " Bagels And " a little walk up West St was closed. There is no comparison in the bagels. Einsteins were soft,doughy and alittle raw in the middle. "Bagels And " serves a true authentic bagel not some attempt at a bagel like Einsteins chain. Bagels And bagels have a firm outside,a delicious fully baked inside that is lite and full of flavor. If your in the area pass on Einstein and go up West street and treat your taste buds to a true Jewish bagel and not a chain immitation bagel. read more

They don't toast the bagels enough and they don't put enough cream cheese, it barely covers it. Maybe it was just my experience. Wish the veggie cream cheese had actual chunks of veggie to give it more texture. read more

Walked out, long line, not clean and bathrooms are closed to patrons. Will not being going back.

This location is convenient and has its own parking lot for quick access, in and out service. They have a self-serve coffee bar with various brews. Most of the bagels are vegetarian, though not gluten-free. I had a coffee and my client opted for a plain bagel and coffee. The interior is laid out nicely for different table groupings but it does have loud music playing overhead. We found it was a bit hard to have a discussion while competing with the music. read more

I ordered a Bagel & lox sandwich and was totally dissatisfied due to the lack of careful preparation. The sandwich did not come close to what was displayed on their menu board in the Annapolis Store. However, I did have a positive experience with the exact same sandwich at the Severna Park Store. read more

They have great bagels. They have vegetarian options. I find their prices to be reasonable. Service is excellent and everyone is friendly.
