I have to say I haven't been back since I gave this location 2 stars, well I came back and I am happy to say this trip was a 5 star visit. I had zero issues and the food was good and hot. I also got one of the refresher drinks and it was very tasty. I do plan to go back again this next week to see if the service and food quality is the same. But as of right now I will upgrade my 2 stars to 5 stars. read more

I treated myself to a bagel sandwich for my birthday and was honestly shocked by how delicious the chorizo sunrise egg sandwich was! I could eat that cream cheese by the spoonful. The dining room was clean and the staff were helpful. Parking was very easy as there is a good sized lot out back. This Einstein Bros Bagels is located conveniently close to the highway in a small plaza. read more

Go back to Bruegger's. Need actual bagels not another Panera bread shop! Shame this is actually called a bagel.

The food was very good and the staff was very friendly! The issues I had was there was egg shells in my girlfriends bagel and they let me order another bagel free of charge. I ordered a bagel with onion and chive cream cheese and when we got it, it was just regular cream cheese. The staff is trying so hard to keep up with the customers inside and the drive through that mistakes like these will happen. Pay your staff more or hire more so that everyone's job can be done properly and mistakes like egg shells won't happen. read more

What happened to this chain? Seems ever since Panera bought them, the breakfast quality has gone downhill at both. The only improvement here are the fresh cracked egg sandwiches. Food: Limited selection of bagels and half of them were "premium" upcharge. C'mon, uncharge on a bagel? I dropped over $10 on a simple bagel with cream cheese and a cup of mediocre coffee. Service: One person working drive up and register. Had to stand there while he was ringing up drive up customers. Go my cup to get coffee. Used to be several options, now just one carafe full. One cream option. not skim or other milk options. Once you pay, good luck getting anyones attention. Overall: There are just so many times one can have McDs, so this is a break from time to time when I travel. Needs to get better! read more

Mushy bagels. Nowhere as good as the Brueggers it replaced. Stay away. Lenders frozen bagels are better

Again... my reviews of chain restaurants are based upon my expectations. Nice location with super friendly folks serving us. We met out-of-town friends here. It was convenient to their hotel and not hard for us to find. I really enjoy a fresh bagel sandwich for my breakfast and they hit the spot. Good selection of teas and coffee to go with the meal. It was a pleasant spring morning so we sat outside. An ok spot, though you should expect to hear some road noise. Got the level of service and quality of food that we expected in a pleasant atmosphere for a longer than normal meal to visit with friends. read more

Love all the variety of bagels! I was very pleased with the service too! Lauren was especially helpful on my selection of bagels. I was treating my coworkers & wanted to get a variety. read more

I came to get a bagel for a friend and I to share. I requested it be cut in half. It was not. Small, I know but I'd rather not eat then have someone's hands all over my food to cut the bagel in half after I've left thinking I had a cut one already. Just annoying. Hoping this review can serve as a reminder to cut the sandwhich when requested! It's not for funsies I swear read more

Staff was so rude, that was my last time trying to give them a chance to be friendly. I order a bagel with cream cheese and u would have thought I was ordering the whole menu. They all hate their jobs, I get it! But I was actively trying to be super easy and friendly and was met with gross behavior. read more

The employees were amazing! They were so nice and got our order ready quickly and accurately. The food is great! The manager however was very disrespectful to the employees for no good reason. I don't think any human being should be treated the way they were. Everything else was wonderful! read more

I stopped in to take advantage of a bday offer from their rewards program. When I arrived I was the only person there, with 2 employees. I was not greeted as they were talking and it took them a bit to acknowledge me. When they did it seemed as if I was a bother to them. They took my order and was surprised it took a bit just to make a bagel with cream cheese. The food was ok. This location has a spacious dining room, although at the time of my visit it was closed. They also have a small outside patio, as well as a drive thru. I love this brand, but this location lacks on customer service. read more

I have been coming here since I moved to Fairfield, about 3 years now. At first, they were pretty slow. Things have improved so much and the employees hustle to get food out. Food is always correct and delish. I'm a regular on Saturdays, to a point they know my name now. Be kind to workers, dealing with the public ain't easy! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Feeling like Cheers, where everyone knows your name! - Bagels Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Ordered online and was emailed a receipt. Arrived only to be told that they did not have the bagel flavor. They suggested a different flavor. I declined and asked for a refund. Said they could not and could only give store credit. I have to now go through my bank to get a refund. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS STORE. read more

I went on a Saturday morning. The drive through was long But a few customers in the restaurant I almost did not go in because of this sign as I entered So I asked what appeared to be the person in charge can I order from the App. Instead of saying, we can take your order now .. she said yes Then people came in and ordered, I asked about my order and they said the set time because I ordered on the app I said,the sign says drive through for app because of short staffing The the workers said,, that sign is not in front of the store! I said the sign is in the entrance of the restaurant! The number of peple that same after me looked and the sign and walked away, got intheir care or went to the register and said ... can I order here! Ridiculous workers ... move the sign or turn it around The sign read: Due to lack of staffing We are drive through only read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Are they open for walk in? They seem to awesome that they were with this sign in the entrance! - Bagels Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Bagels good but someone tell me why i waited ALMOST AN HOUR for a single bagel??? Like i ordered a bagel with cream cheese and it took a good 45 minutes to get it. I would understand if they were making these bagel from scratch after I ordered it but all they had to do was take it out of the display rack, heat it up, and put a reasonable amount of cream cheese on. One of my friends got a huge amount of cream cheese that was squirting out the sides and the other got barely any and then the other friend got a single chunk of BUTTER in the middle. Like they just didn't spread it out?? And then my friends mom ordered a bagel sandwich with an egg and they just didn't out an egg on it. Like what how do you forget that?? read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - The bagel with a chunk of unspread butter - Bagels Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Ordered a bacon and cheddar egg sandwich and never requested 2 eggs but was charged for 2 eggs. Ridiculous they up charge you without even asking for it. Paid $7 for a sandwich that ended up being cold. It's not worth it to go to this location. Their service is slow and now I've been up charged. read more

"Can I take your order". No "good morning" or even "hello". But waS a decent tone. Not a fan of people talking to it they co workers (like background noise) when they should hit a mute button first but oKay. She found two of the last packets oF Splenda that they had. Not a good mental picture of adequate mgmt ordering food supplies but another okay. My check in photo of the Lox said no caper disappointing but their were three rolling around in the tray. Forgot to show how they stick better in the cream cheese. Lox was not out on evenly and way too much. Red onion was big coils mostly off the sandwich. Toasted Sesame bagel was very good for its size and density but agin was overpowered by too much Lox, onion and not enough capers. Better than McDonalds. Young, new girl handed food was timid but nice and thanked me for coming. Better but would have liked that with have a great day. And a smile. No one lives up to the Chik Fil A service standard. People crave it and will come back for it. Hint hint hint. read more

Food is delicious. Wait time is terrible. Never stop if if a hurry. Cinnamon sugar bagel is my favorite. Usually wait 10-15 min in drive through. Waited 30 inside for 3 simple bagels. read more

Drive thru is painfully slow (at least on a Saturday morning). Had 3 cars in front of me and sat for almost 20 minutes to pick up my order. But it looked like they were really trying and just very busy inside. Food was really good so I can't complain. read more

We have been here many times, the service is always slow but I never thought about put anything online to complain, I understand they might be short stuffed or whatever. But today, we got kicked out of the store, because my 2 year old son was crying in the store. I lost all my words, when I calm down and went back to ask her who complained, I clearly see there is absolutely nobody sitting in the store, she told me the person complained cannot handle it and left. Then she said the employee was complaining because they cannot hear each other talking. We waited for our order for more than half an hour, and the moment we got our order, she told us we can't have crying in the store. Not to mention she was talking over me and yell at me the whole time when I went back in the store the second time. I don't want to bring race or anything to the table but I am just shocked and I want to share my experience with you. It is heartbreaking and ridiculous! read more

Unfortunately what started as a decent experience spiraled downhill quickly throughout our stay - from having to wait 15 minutes for a coffee refill, being out of creamer, and then the kicker - won't accept the darn free cookie Yelp coupon for checking in. After we spent $15 between 2 sandwiches and a coffee and specialty drink, I'm told "ownership changed and we don't honor Yelp coupons". So I teased "explains your 2 out of 5 rating" and they were surprised by that! Not like I walked in off the street and just tried for a free cookie. Talk about leaving a bad impression... too many bagel shop options around town, so bye bye Einstein. read more

I mean its between a 4 and a 5 but I gave it the tip up to 5 because if you are like me and love salmon and cream cheese bagels there aren't a lot of great spots to go to. I was shockingly surprised by how good their lox was - its served open face style as two individual bagels which I think made it much better. Salmon and slice of tomato was super fresh read more

Nice place to stop by for breakfast. Ordered two breakfast bagel sandwiches which were made fresh and even brought it to our table. Good deals: $6 for a bakers dozen bagels on Monday and free wifi if you go inside to enjoy your bagel/sandwich. They also have a drive through. Super friendly staff inside so I'd imagine the drive thru service would be just as pleasant. read more

Always good, they were understaffed when I went in last. Floor was sticky and dining room was closed.

I normally love Einstein Bros. Bagels. I would normally give them a 4 star rating but today was not a 4 Star day. There was a work rah rah meeting that took all but 4 chairs so obviously my seating was limited to literally nothing. My bagel was cold. My latte was late. There were only 2 employees and one of them was running the drive through and making coffee. Employees were friendly but the short staff was a disservice to employees and customers. I'll come back again but there are lots of other yummy breakfast places to enjoy. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - The supernova bagel. But it's cod. - Bagels Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I used to love Einstein...until today. Tried drive thru for the first (and last) time and it was not the best experience. Granted most of the time, drive thru is more for convenience than service, but I would have liked to have been able to understand what the person on the other side was saying. Then I felt she was getting impatient because I needed her to keep repeating, because I couldn't hear her. One star is not something I give lightly. In fact, most times, restaurants have to work real hard to get not only a 5 star review, but they need to work just as hard to get 1 star. I rate on a trifecta of service, atmosphere, and taste/quality of food. Unfortunately, Einstein failed on all three. My daughters and I each bought a toasted bagel with shmear. Apparently, one of my daughter's bagel had the wrong shmear and mine had so little shmear, I couldn't even taste it...and it was salmon which has a very strong flavor. I don't even know how my other daughter's bagel was, because I had to leave before she ate hers. I'm a business owner myself, so I understand the importance of controlling costs, but come on, we pay for the shmear...there should be enough on there to taste it. Good service in my book isn't just a polite greeting and a have a great day...that's the bare minimum. So to me, this was another fail. Very disappointed with this visit and I will probably have second thoughts of coming back when I have a craving for a good bagel. read more

This place has never disappointed for breakfast. Their bagels are incredible, their breakfast sandwiches are even better. The chorizo breakfast burrito is to die for. Their chai tea lattes are my favorite. For a fast food place, this place does breakfast right. read more

Unfortunately this place has gone downhill with service and with quality of food. I ordered over the phone and the person seemed a little rude and asked for my order multiple times, then told me it will be 15 minutes...then when I came to pick up they gave me the WRONG bag which we didn't notice until we got home. When we called to complain, the only solution they gave us was to come and get a new one. When we asked for a refund, they told us to CALL BACK IN 20 MINUTES because "they were really busy!". The nerve!!! So then my husband went to pick up our "new order", when he came home my bagel was burned and the sausage tasted like RUBBER! His was not done right either and the whole overall experience was terrible. Their customer service is very poor and same with the quality of food. read more

Long wait time in drive through. Waited over 1/2 hour for food. Only three cars ahead of me when I pulled in line. People that walked in and got serve much faster than the drive-through. Advise don't use the drive-through. read more

Very disappointed. Decided to order 3 party bagels because they looked amazing. Receiving them was another story... They were extremely hard very stale and so dry. These doughnuts tasted like they were made maybe two days ago.... unfortunately will not be ordering again!!! Order with caution... read more

This is a good Einstein Bros Bagels. I've eaten at this chain many many times before, but never this location. It appears to be pretty new. Convenient location, pretty close to the highway, and there's a drive thru! Service was a little bit slower than I thought it would be for an untoasted sandwich (maybe a 5 min wait), but not too slow that I was upset by it. The lox sandwich was good, everything was well-balanced (lox, cream cheese, bagel, tomato, onion, and capers), and there was a good portion of lox on top. For $7 I think this was a good deal. Didn't blow me away, but a good fast-food alternative for breakfast. read more

service was amazing .kind , fast a boy with a beard was very nice he walked me to my car because i fell out my wheelchait

My four stars was pretty much customer service and observation of my boyfriend enjoying the deliciousness of food. I had a hot tea and my boyfriend had a huge bagel that had a mix of hummus and vegetables and chicken on it. Seemed like it could be good. And it looked fresh. I'm reasonably certain I could eat here, they have an allergens chart on their website. But I was worried about cross contamination and didn't risk it. At the register they sell doggie bagels which are adorable. Tiny and hard. I bought one for my dog but was charmed into taking two. The customer service here was fantastic. I mean, really. Maybe the employees have eaten so many carbs that they're ridiculously happy, but it just seemed like such a nice environment. read more

While the food is good the service is HORRENDOUS. We sat in the drive thru for 12 minutes before anyone even bothered to take our order. Then sat at the window for 6 more minutes before they acknowledged our presence and we paid. We've been here a few times and it's no fluke-- they're painfully slow every time. read more

We ordered two all-nighters, a Diet Coke, and a caramel macchiato. All was very good. Food was ready in about 5 minutes or so.

We went here because of a free bagel sandwich for my birthday. Great service and friendly staff. Kyle was great and accommodating.

Grabbed a bagel to-go here the other day; was in a time crunch so luckily there was only one other person in line. My order was taken by a cheerful staff member and prepared quickly by her other team members. I thought the set up of the counter was a little weird, but that may be because it's a drive thru too. No big deal. I got to have some of my bagel before my meeting and it hit the spot! Price was fine too! Next time I'm in, I'll try the coffee too! read more

This is the slowest Einstein's ever. I love their bagels but the service here is terrible. I had to leave the drive through after waiting 15 minutes for someone to take my order. Every time I come here they get slower and slower. Not sure if they're understaffed or what but I definitely won't be coming back to this location. I'd rather just buy their bagels at Costco and make them myself. read more

The bagels are amazing but you will never get the right order and there is a 50/50 chance they will try to steal your money. Twice they have not given me any of the change portion of my change and once they did not give me back the 4 dollar bills they owed me without explanation and looked annoyed when I asked for my change. I have eaten here the past 4 Sundays and each time the service has been worse than the first. Week 1: I went through the drive through, placed my order for a garlic bagel with salmon cream cheese not toasted and a iced coffee with cream. What I received was a toasted bagel and a hot coffee, which I exchanged before I left however I did not check the bagel. They were busy so I figured it was an honest mistake and the bagel was still great so I went back the next week. Week 2: Drive through, same order as above I received an iced coffee with cream & sugar without a bagel, when I knocked on the window and asked for my bagel the clerk said "Um, ok let me ring you up for that" and once I explained it to him they rushed my order and it had basically a hummingbird's beaks worth of cream cheese on it. Week 3: My wife and I decided to go into eat, each ordered a bagel with cream cheese one iced coffee and one hot coffee both with just cream. We got our coffees 15 minutes after we ordered and then watched a handful of people come and go before I asked if they had missed our order. The person whom I assume was the manager said "sorry some times it takes a minute " to which I replied "my wife and I have been waiting almost a half hour for two bagels with cream cheese" she apologized gave us two wrong bagels and when I asked to fix it she offered me a bag of chips for the trouble. After this I said I would never come back, and then my wife got a coupon... Week 4: Same order as above with my wife, we got two hot coffees with whipped cream. I asked if they could correct mine to an iced coffee I was looked at with confusion and I proceeded so watch the guy grab a spoon and ladle off the whip cream pour out a large portion of the coffee and add a scoop of ice and hand me back a warmish cup of coffee no cream and both coffees ended up being hazelnut and I to end my stint at This place, my bagel was so hot the cream cheese had liquified and melted out of my bagel into the bag. read more
