When I travel I love trying the local cuisine, it's one of the best parts about traveling. I'm not from here. It's cool to see a little mom and pop shop that specializes in a Chicago staple, the bagel. This place was started by 2 brothers who grew up on the streets of Chi Town, USA. Bijan was working the front counter and I asked him to hook me up with what the locals get. I have a delicious toasted everything bagel with the jalapeño smeared cream cheese, talk about Chicago am I right. Can't wait to see what else this city has to offer. read more

We went here in the airport the other day and unfortunately this location didn't have the normal quality of bagels or service as usual Einsteins. The bagel flavor and quality at the airport location wasn't very good unfortunately. The cashier also wasn't listening and we had to repeat our order a few times before she got it correct. read more

Busy but worthwhile spot to get breakfast at Midway. I love their Asiago bagels. Service is efficient. Just wish this franchise had more non dairy milks. Almond milk is meh. read more

Okay for a food place in the airport this is the place that you can get something at a relatively good price. My bagel and spread was about $5.. more than I'd like to pay, but cheaper than any coffee I'm sure. I ordered the cinnamon sugar bagel with strawberry spread. It was delicious. They did not skimp out on the strawberry spread. read more

Came in on a Monday at noon and saw no lines. Tried the Turkey, Bacon and Avocado sandwich and not bad for quick airport sandwich. Tap to pay credit card payment and quick courteous service. They have a special lane for airport workers, so take notice of the signs :-) read more

I recently stopped here before I boarded my flight at Midway Airport just to grab a refresher. I actually never knew this place sold them either and it's the only place that seems to sell them staff here was very friendly and they made my refresher drink very quickly. There wasn't a line thankfully but during my experience going past the location it's usually busy. read more

Before getting on my flight back to Las Vegas, I was looking at food options in the Southwest Terminal at Midway Chicago prior to my boarding at 5:35 P.M. There were a lot of restaurant options, however, I opted to choose a quick service location with no wait time, Einstein Bros. Bagels! It's been about a year since I've had Einstein Bros. Bagels. This location did offer some of their signature egg sandwiches like the Texas Brisket Egg Sandwich. You could also get a Bacon & Cheddar Egg sandwich, and other options such as the Pizza Bagel. I ended up selecting their 6-cheese bagel with a cream cheese spread. The team member at the register placed my order and started to prepare the meal. The bagel was toasted, and the cream cheese was spread on the top and bottom of the bagel. It was a perfect meal before getting on my flight to Vegas. There was plenty of cream cheese on the bagel! It wasn't over toasted either! If I fly through Midway Chicago again, I think next time, I'll try the Turkey, Bacon & Avocado Sandwich! read more

Pros: I get only 3 things at Einstein's: plain bagel w/jalapeño salsa schmear, pizza, or tasty turkey sandwich. They never mess these up. Always taste good. No complaints with food. Cons: long lines, but I didn't wait more than 10 minutes for my bagel. read more

Good in pinch if you really need food or coffee but I would spend some time looking up other places first. I didn't love my coffee and the sandwich didn't even have cream cheese which I would expect on a bagel sandwich. Pretty quick moving at least. read more

Bagel excellent. Service friendly and fairly quick. Macchiato and Chai latte SUPER sickly sweet. Couldn't drink but about half. Drank half, because I didn't want to completely waste it when I threw it away. It's the airport ambiance. read more

This was one of the worst breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. The cheese wasn't even melted and the egg was cold. I waited 30 minutes for it and paid $17 with a drink. Try another place read more

Closes at midnight but won't serve food outside of bagel and cream cheese and no beverages after 9pm. If that's the case, why not just say you close at 9 PM. Felt like employees just wanted to go home so they sent customers away. read more

I'll look for better coffee in the future. It was bitter, as if it had been sitting for some time, and that was after I topped it off with milk. And it was a fresh batch because I had to ask for them to make fresh coffee because no one realized all their self-serve canisters were empty. Maybe they shouldn't use tap water to make their coffee. Coffee made with highly purified water always tastes better. I'm not sure the experience was even worth 1 star. read more

There are many food choices at Midway Airport. Most are high priced and low quality. Einstein Bros. Bagels is the exception. I had eaten both their breakfast and regular sandwiches. Both are tasty. You can get the regular sandwiches all day long, even for breakfast. We both had the turkey and cheese on a sesame bagel. They were very good and fresh. It was a long line and took 20 minutes from getting in line to order in hand. There is a nice seating area across from this location. One person got a table and sat with the bags while I got the order. They are open from 6 a.m. to 12 Midnight which is very convenient. We paid $23.48 (including tax) for two our two deli sandwiches and two 20 oz bottles of water. read more

Einstein Bagels! How many times have you stopped here to grab a snack, lunch or afternoon pick-me-up?! Countless? No matter what city you are in, you can count on Einsteins! I was recently at an airport and needed a coffee & sandwich. Einstein did the trick. Sometimes, I avoid chain restaurants and other times I like to know what I'm getting so like the chain restaurants! This chain is consistent on delivering quality food & service! Thank you! Enjoy! read more

Inside Midway airport-bagels so dry you have to have water to choke it down-maybe stale? Little cream cheese which makes it even drier-"hash browns" are some weird muffin mixture with cheese and a few shreds of potatoes!?! The people were nice but would NEVER eat here again-EB used to be very good- I think they over franchised and the quality suffered. Much better options at Midway!! BTW- pretty expensive- but it is the airport read more

Pros: -the cheapest food you can buy in the airport and be full. - they have a range of bagel flavors (cinnamon is delicious) and cream cheese. Cons: - if you get a bagel, there will barely be any cream cheese on the bagel which is why this is 2 stars. read more

At 5:30 AM not a lot of options and wanted to grab some coffee and a bagel for my flight. The line was long and moved incredibly slow. There was only one cashier and it took a good 30 minutes to get my bagel and cold brew. I got a plain bagel, and as soon as I opened the bag, all I could smell was cinnamon. It seemed the bagel may have touched the cinnamon bagels. I am not a fan of cinnamon and did not care for it with the veggie shmear. read more

While waiting about 20 min for drop coffee I try eating my bagel and it was hard as a rock , she had said it was fresh , worst service ever

I normally really like Einstein Bros. But this one was horrible. They were out of a bunch of stuff and my sandwich was cold and just lacked everything I'm used to them being. The bagels were not good. Coffee was way to sweet. I won't go to this one again. read more

Dry over cooked bagels. Get here early, it gets packed. We arrived before 9am ish and it was ok. I got the egg sandwich and not sure if they don't ask you what bagel you want it on, but I forgot to ask and it just came on a plain bagel, which was extremely dry... kinda felt like it was old and stale from the day before. Nothing else was open at this time for something fast. read more

Food was delicious. Servers were rude. Your signage needs some work. Post a LARGE FONT menu on the pillar so people can actually read the menu and not have to move close to the register to make a selection and get rudely spoken to because " you're messing up their flow". Also, the 2 line system? Put signs at beginning of rope, not in the middle. Servers very rude, all customers waiting were mentioning this. read more

*** wrong place for a coffee, but maybe the bagels are like they used to be *** ENVIRONMENT Social distancing is a bit awkward when you're waiting for your items. New customers aren't sure where the line starts. SERVICE I wanted a caffè mocha. Their response, "We aren't doing those right now." Then she stares at me but because I can't see her lips I don't know if I should anticipate a follow-up statement like, "But we have some hot coffee ready for you." But nothing. Just a cold blank stare. MY FAVORITE PART... That they even had coffee. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Pretty much all of it. THE COFFEE The coffee of the day ($2.82) was not all that flavorful. It was hot, but watered down. What a letdown. Who made the coffee that morning?! Frozen girl? Lol. That's all I bought as I already had breakfast from a different place that didn't have coffee. Sure did take a long time just for a simple coffee too. Over 5 minutes. OVERALL Think I'm done with airport Einstein Bros. Not jumping on a brick and mortar opportunity any time soon. They were good several years ago, but nah... | Coffee: 2 | Service: 2 | Environment: 2 | Price: 3 | read more

Airport locations for any franchise.. is usually a struggle. However, I didn't have any issues with this bagel spot. BUTTTT I only ordered a bagel , so what could have went wrong?

Not much to brag about here. I needed something quick before getting on my connection at MDW during a long evening of travel. I was hoping to get one of the sandwiches with turkey deli meat, but they were out. I opted for the turkey sausage and cheddar bagel, which wasn't particularly great. Servers were friendly and quick. Ambiance is what you would typically expect for an airport grab and go meal. read more

Definitely the better bagel place in Midway Airport! Getting a bite to eat before or after a flight is always a hassle. So if you are a looking for a place to get a quick meal and a hot drink, try this place out. I stopped by prior to an early flight and had a great experience. First off, the menu is not complicated and there are a nice variety of items to choose from - for both food and beverages. Prior to my departure, I had ordered the Farmhouse bagel and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was excellent! Whipped cream included without extra cost or having to ask. As for the bagel, it was satisfying! Although it did not appear as amazing as it was pictured on the menu, it tasted great! As for the bagel itself, it was soft. Whoever prepared my bagel did a job well done. Moreover, the workers I encountered were nice, made eye contact, and smiled. They moved a long line of hungry customers quickly too! I did not have to wait more that 7-10 minutes for my order to be ready after my order was placed. It was ready much quicker than I had expected. I'm glad I got my breakfast here that morning. Thank you Einstein Bro's Bagel morning staff of 9/26/22! read more

I ordered a turkey and cheddar sandwich from this location. I was so disappointed as turkey like most poultry should be cooked all the way through. I found my turkey sausage was just browned on the outside and not cooked through. I clearly didn't eat it and the line was so long in general, I didn't take it back. Just disappeared because I don't think there is ever a rush when it comes to the health and well-being of a customer. Clearly speed of delivery trumps you that. I attempted to eat the egg and cheese but overall even that wasn't good. I will more than likely not return to this location. read more

Food was delicious and filling, even though I ordered my bagel toasted and they didn't toast it when I received it. Shake was great. Service was terrible. There was a line and the workers were just standing around talking with one another instead of addressing the customers. They didn't make any effort to deliver customer service, they were just physically present. read more

Best place to eat in Midway - cheap, consistent, and fast. Tasty Turkey ($9) - turkey, lettuce, cucumber, and tomato on a warm plain bagel, no schmear. I love warm bread with cold toppings. YUM!! Chocolate Chip Bagel ($3) - Get it toasted. They didn't have peanut butter, so I ate it by itself since I can't have dairy. It was a nice dessert! At 5:30 p.m., they weren't serving a lot of their menu items including specialty coffees. They only had drip coffee. However, there is a sign saying they have a limited menu at the moment. Service was just okay, but it was fast at least. read more

Got the nova lox bagel sandwich and a turkey, bacon, and avocado bagel sandwich. Flavor of the bagel and ingredients were good. Reasonable price (about $10 each) for airport food. Only thing is barely any avocado and cream cheese on the bagel. Half the bagel of each sandwich was dry as seen in the pictures. Don't go after 7pm when their ingredients are low. Watched the girl making our sandwiches squeeze an empty bottle of cream cheese, then try and smear a little blob around and then the same with the avocado spread. Or just be prepared to speak up on the spot and ask for more of the spread, since that's what they claim by the pictures and on the logo on their bagel case. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels used to be my go-to when I needed lunch on the go. Sadly, the one in my town closed, so I was happy to see one at Midway. But sadly again, this one left much to be desired. The line moved fast enough, and I ordered a Tasty Turkey, which is made with spinach, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and onion and chive shmear, served on an asiago bagel. I took my bag with bagel back to my gate to eat while I waited. And immediately upon opening the bag, I found that my sandwich was wrapped in paper that had sauce and avocado from someone else's sandwich all over it. Ick. I was distracted by the goo on the paper and trying not to get it all over me, and in the process, parts of my sandwich fell out of the wrap, onto my lap. And when I went to clean it up, I found that they did not put any napkins in my bag. Once I cleaned myself up and started eating, I discovered that the bagel on the bottom was not cut in half like the top was, and they did not use an asiago bagel but instead a plain one. This was a whomp whomp all of the way around. The fillings tasted good enough, though, and I enjoyed my Vanilla Caribou Cooler coffee drink that I got with it. Next time I'm passing through Terminal 1 of Midway, though, which I do a few times a year, I'll be skipping Einstein Bros. read more

Not very clean (so much dust is piled up on the light fixtures above the coffee machines), ran out of half their bagel flavors by 7am, not able to pay with cash unless you have exact change, espresso machine was broken, and their cashier taking orders was rude. On top of all that, my order was made incorrectly. read more

I stopped by for breakfast and opted for an egg white sandwich with bacon, tomato and avocado. The ingredients tasted fresh and wholesome. It wasn't greasy and had just the right amount of flavor. I haven't raved about a sandwich like this in a while. read more

Cheap. Best thing I can say. Bagel and hash brown for less than $6. When you pay closer to $10 in Colorado for same food, that's a nice price. Hash brown tasted like a bit of pizza bagel was left over and burnt smell permeated through hash brown. Otherwise not bad. Schmear seams to be ok portion, could have done with a bit more, (I do like more schmear) but this was acceptable. read more

Easily the worst Einstein breakfast sandwich I ever had. Everything about it was sad. Coffee was good tho

Avoid this location at all costs. Coffee was self-serve and you can taste that they switch up their urns and put the regular coffees in the flavored Coffee urns. Menu is not correct and I consistent. Refused to let me choose a non-plain bagel for my bagel sandwich which was terrible. No condiments for sandwich. Fast, yet poor service. read more
