Update: I go out of my way to go to this location, the staff are just wonderful. I've never had trouble getting my order right at this location and the coffee here tastes really fresh, this location was my first Caribou experience and I haven't had betteAlso the employees are really competent and alert. They're super fast! I just wish they weren't so out of the way for my morning commute. read more

I've always had a pleasant experience at this location, with the exception of today. My daughter's pizza bagel was literally burnt to a crisp and essentially inedible. Not to mention, I previously placed a mobile order and forgot to add on the reward of the free coffee with purchase. When I arrived to the location and explained it to the staff, the manager reluctantly provided me with the cup and stated this would be the "last time". Keep in mind my purchase prior to this one was about 2 dozen bagels for my mothers office party, which wasn't cheap- so I'm not exactly sure as to why management would display such a concerning attitude over a simple coffee I forgot to add to my mobile order. With that being said, this may be my "last time" ordering with them. read more

They have some serious health violations. Costumer service is extremely poor, they will let there hair drop in your food , No apology , did not have the decency to put a hair net on afterwards. NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS LOCATION read more

Walked in, I asked for a veggie bagel with no onions and add an egg. They remembered the no onions, but there was NO EGG! I wondered why the sandwich was made so quickly. There was absolutely no love put into it and clearly nobody bothered to listen or make the bagel correctly. I've only tried this one other time and it was a horrible experience back then. So I thought I would give it another chance, and clearly I can see why I avoid this place. read more

Disappointed.... again. I got an everything bagel with chive cream cheese and lox when I got home and opened up my bagel it turned out to be a bagel with turkey. This is the second time in two weeks that they messed up my orders. Took the turkey bagel and tossed it down the garage disposal. I'm very frustrated. read more

Einstein's on the corner of Enterprise and McMullen Booth in Safety Harbor is that chain coffee and bagel place that it's staff really tries to make it a neighborhood place. I like that. We go here 2-3 times a month (and a bit more now that I work from home) and enjoy it's casual environment, no pressure atmosphere and good coffee. Espresso drinks are fairly good / consistent and normally taste a bit stronger/better than 'that 'bucks' place across the street. Bagel sandwiches are really good but keep in mind for a sandwich some of the specialty ones are a little pricey. The "Ranch house" is my go to favorite for breakfast along with the Spicy Chorizo and Egg one, but beware the aforementioned will make you sweat a bit if you're not into spice in the morning. The sit down and work or study environment is there and pretty nice. I recommend headphones if you don't like the music they play there. It tends to be a little loud unless you have headphones w/ your own music. The fireplace is a nice touch. You 'almost' get a sense that you're sitting at someone's cabin up North. Except...when you look outside, we're still in Florida. Thanks Einstein's for being there for me! read more

This is the closest Einstein to me, but it's the worst in Tampa Bay. I have no idea why I think I'll come back and get better service but I never do. It's not that the workers aren't nice, they just don't know their job. They can't take a full order and get it right. Toasted bagels with shmear. Nova lox bagel toasted. Another toasted bagel with a different shmear. Get home and the Nova Lox Bagel isn't toasted. The bagel with schemata isn't toasted and the bagel that's toasted has no schmear on it. It's just bagels! How hard can it be? Every other Einstein in Tampa had been wonderful. The one on 4th street in St Pete was super busy when I used to work around the corner and they always get it right. The one on Dale Mabry in Carrollwood (probably my fave) always gets it right. Again, it's just bagels. How do you manage to jack that is every time? read more

Not my favorite location. Drove over a long way to take part inn the national bagel day. There was no clear instruction or anything around promoting the special day. You have to know before arriving, thanks social media. Anyway, I ordered a toasted nova lox toasted which I paid for separately since this was not part of national bagel day. Wifey got an toasted Asiago Bagel with Cream Cheese shmear. I asked for the same, except I asked for chive shmear. I get charged for the second Asiago toast, which the manager corrected once I pointed out the error. Wifey grabbed the order and waited inn the car before I could check the order. Anyway, we drove back home and my order was off. Lox Bagel wasn't toasted and my toasted asiago bagel didn't have come with a drop of shmear. What a waste of time. read more

Such a small location. Seating is hard to come by, either inside or out. My beau and I stopped here to see about breakfast after a sleep over at his place. We waited in a short line, we placed our orders for their cheesy hash brown bagel, or at least the same thing, with an Everything bagel instead since they were out of those hash brown bagels. We bussed our own table, got our coffee and sat and waited for our food to be ready. The food was tasty and made well. The service was fine. read more

This place is amazing. It's super cute perfect for pictures and the employees are incredibly nice. I will be returning here for my bagel craving days read more

Great bagels and friendly service. We usually pick up assorted bagels and coffee for my office from here.

I guess this is for the person writing this, or some portion anyway. Last 2 visits, no "Everything Bagels". End of the world no, but the response from the management was unprofessional, extremely uncalled for. He told me : "Your timing is bad". So, they will never have bad timing with me again. Update: They have a script response, their contact information is incorrect.....???????? read more

TLDR: Spinach Florentine bagel is delicious. Avocado toast bagel is just ok. Staff always friendly. Gets really busy on weekend mornings. While my husband was getting his hair cut on a Saturday morning I decided to take the kids out to breakfast. I ordered a jalapeño bagel avocado toast style and the kids shared a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese. I usually get the spinach Florentine bagel but they were out so I tried something new. My bagel was very plain tasting with large slices of jalapeño rather than small tastes throughout. So it would be spicy for one bite and then bland again. Though the avocado did balance out the spice well, I would have really enjoy it better with the truest flavorful spinach Florentine. My daughters basically ate the cream cheese off of their bagels and didn't eat the actual bagel. The bathrooms were clean and the service was nice but very busy and waiting for food with kids can be rough. Inside was completely full but we were able to find a table outside. It can get very hot out in Florida so I would say come early in the morning or on a weekday if you want to eat inside. Event the long tables made for big groups or random people to eat cafeteria style were full on a Saturday morning. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Avocado toast - Bagels Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! While Einstein's is a bit pricier than Dunkin Donuts and you have to make your own coffee, the breakfast foods are well worth the extra dollars. The staff is friendly and never frazzled even during morning rushes, the restaurant is clean and the bagels are always fresh. With such high volumes (especially in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays) the restaurant seems to be fully staffed to cater to its customers, so wait time isn't bad. If you join the Shmear Society online there are some extra perks such as coupons and earning points for each visit that can stack up to upsizing and free items. All in all, Einstein's has turned into a weekend staple in my house. If you haven't been, you should! And order one of their signature breakfast sandwiches, you won't be sorry! read more

I was THRILLED last night when I found out Caribou Coffee had partnered with this location as a northerner who used to manage a Caribou Coffee. They grew my love of espresso initially and I knew I had to make the trip here today to check it out. Small interior but very friendly and helpful staff. The girls were very personable with me even though clearly really busy at 10am on Monday. Amazing drink quality, just like I remembered and a good selection of breakfast items! The only downside to my trip today was learning that they don't sell the coffee in bulk as they would at stand alone Caribou's and would weigh and grind to your liking. Thankfully, I can order that way online still and I am excited to share my love of Caribou and support my local location. If you're sick of Starbucks, come try Caribou! I bet you won't regret it if you Cari-do (hahaha I'm so sorry but seriously, it's a nice morning treat!) read more

I haven't been to an Einstein Bagels in years, mostly because there aren't any near my house. I was in the area in the morning so I had to stop in. I'm so glad I did. There were so many options that sounded good, but I opted for the Bacon and Spinach sandwich on a Cheesy Hashbrown Bagel...yum! The bacon was cooked perfectly crisp, and there was a yummy sauce slathered on the bagel. I used to get their Asiago bagel, but this cheesy hashbrown one is pretty darn tasty! I will definitely be back if I'm in the area around breakfast. In the meantime, I hope to see one built in the Trinity area...although I'm sure that would mean my waistline and my credit card bills will both be increasing... read more

I love bagels. What I don't love is the 30 min wait and lack of help. The 30 min wait was NOT during 'peak' hours- a Monday at 10:00! This is not the first time I have had a long wait with no reasonable explanation. The quality of food is consistent and so is the extreme wait time for a bagel. Save yourself the carbs and have a nice lunch instead! read more

Didn't go there just ate bagels bagels really good just a little dry. Also a little bit to much Popeye seeds on the bagels read more

I came into this bagel place just for a drink. Yeah, I'm one of those. But I had a good reason! Drinks here are at Einstein Bros are half off on weekdays. That made my chai tea latte come down to the low price of $1.86. And it's good, too! They have all of the fixin's that you'd need for a handcrafted beverage, including honey bears. Score! I will definitely pay another visit to try their Nova Lox on a Thintastic bagel. Mmm, salmon! read more

Good Sunday morning. First time trying this place out. I'm always at Starbucks, Panera, or Dunkin Doughnuts for breakfast. I have their turkey sausage egg n cheese on an everything bagel. Oh so yummy. Hands down better tasting. read more

Usually everything is wonderful and perfect, but my last order was pretty awful. My guy treated me to breakfast last Saturday- Oct 24. I simply ordered avocado toast on Asiago bagel. The avocado was NOT ripe. It was hard and bitter. It was also about a table spoon portion for 2 halves of a bagel :( . Having worked in food industry for several years, it really frustrates me when common sense doesn't kick in for whoever prepared my food. When avocado doesn't mash easy-it's NOT ripe!!! There wasn't any additional flavor to the avocado mash and again, tiny portion for a WHOLE bagel! I didn't call that day because it was a treat from my guy, so I ate some of the bagel to not make him feel bad. But seriously, it was hard to swallow : / read more

Customer service could be improved...asked for cream cheese on side, the bagel had cream cheese on it and team member told me I didn't ask for it on the side and was very rude. This team member was very rude taking my order and with my pickup of my order. read more

I have been going here for years. Love it here. They know my little one and talk to her all the time. Lisa and Mark have been here for years and it good to see the same people here. The only thing is that they should let one of people who here be the general manager. read more

Customer service is pretty rough. This place used to be great. Overcharged and cashier not willing to fix because she couldn't figure out how. When I pointed out what was entered wrong she said "okay..." and walked away. Will probably just go to Panera next time I need a quick breakfast. read more

I've been coming here for a long time. The turkey sausage cheddar (whole) egg sandwich with roasted tomato sauce with a large vanilla hazelnut coffee is the only fast food I enjoy-- no, LOVE. I'd go in, order it, realize that in fact I want a dozen bagels-- sesame! poppyseed! EVERYTHING bagels. Did I got lox? LOX. Do we have cream cheese? Get the full fat kind! The veggie kind! THE GARLIC KIND. OMG THEY HAVE PUMPKIN SCHMEAR IN. My initial reaction to hearing they were remodeling was, Great! It's kind of crufty in there. And then... then I learned... Caribou "Coffee." I use quotes because is Caribou Coffee really coffee? Or is it coffee scented tap water? I think the answer is clear. I have issues with k-cup because most don't make big cups of dark coffee and they're amazingly wasteful. But, they exist, you encounter them. Which is how I learned of Caribou-- Caribou, The Worst Coffee In The World. Having been closed for renovations for a seemingly long, long time, I stepped into the renovated store, hungry, thoughts filled with a my desired sandwich. I take in the store's design. I think, the design was suggested by someone that loved Starbucks, had applied 3 times for design jobs there, and each time was told: Barista? Sure, fill out the application. Designer? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA NO. By the great merciful Siren of Starbucks, No. Give up the idea entirely, you're without a shred of skill. That's the designer who turned Einstein's into a shitty version of Starbucks. Even given all that, I'm like, do I give a fuck? -Really-? No. Not even one. AS LONG AS MY WHOLE EGG SESAME TURKEY SAUSAGE CHEDDAR SANDWICH WITH ROAST TOMATO SAUCE IS AWESOME. And it wasn't it. To be honest, it was probably the worst experience in my life and in the lives of everyone I know. It was egg white. EGG WHITE. And a soggy bagel. SOGGY. And instead of awesome roasted tomato sauce was some kind of goo. Disgusting goo. You're probably wondering, well at least you had a large vanilla hazelnut coffee. Well I didnt. They had none. Rather than drinking a coffee scented tap water and eating a debased version of my favorite sandwich at a pseudo Starbucks... I will drink my casual coffee at Starbucks. And I'll get breakfast good across the street-- at Elizabeth's Gourmet Delights. I have to say, I regularly read pretentious, even obnoxious, extended Yelp reviews but have never had the desire to write one. UNTIL NOW. read more

Food is good but the staff has no idea about their job.I was charged more for my order than the menu price showed. The manager said " Oh, the prices went up a few weeks ago". They couldn't even agree if there was a discount for a 1/2 dozen bagels. Not a pleasant experience. read more

Just had to yelp about the doughy, fresh and hot bagels I just had surprise me when I awoke from jet-lagged slumber. Y'all know I am a huge lox bagel fan and unbeknownst to me, this must be a genetic thing because my parents are big fans also. My dad ran to the store, which is a mere two miles away from their house, and picked up bagels to accompany the delightful spread of cream cheese, capers and smoked salmon. He says the service is great (maybe tomorrow i will try it out... if I get up in time!). For me, its all about the bliss of having great bagels in the vicinity.... another reason that it is refreshing to isit the mainland! read more

What happened? Where are all the old employees? I've been going to this Einsteins forever. I knew they were remodeling and were closed for about a month. I knew some changes were being made, but wow. The store is obviously more about coffee than bagels now, but what happened to the bagels? The bagel case has been cut in half, so now- even moreso- they are low or out of many varieties when I stop in. Its made buying a bucket that will make all my employees happy an impossibility. I came in with a friend for lunch today and we ordered 2 individual bagels. Unfortunately I have to ask, are they even toasting them anymore? I'm shorter so I can't really see over the high counter. Once you pay they whisk you to the other end of the shop to wait, similar to starbucks, only at starbucks you can still watch them make your drink. I don't like how the counters are so high and have wood barricades blocking the view. I ordered two bagels, toasted with butter. They both came out like they had been put in the microwave. They were warm, hot enough to melt the "butter", but they were gummy / rubbery. Not toasted at all. There was also waaay too much butter substitute on them which only added to the flat tire unpleasantness. Also as others have mentioned, the new layout leaves much to be desired. There are multiple lounge chairs gathered around a fake hearth that seems so out of place in Florida. These might be great for someone on a solo lunch break, but for two friends wanting to catch up over coffee and bagels the options are limited. They don't have many small tables anymore and I've never been a big fan of sharing a large table with strangers. Caribou coffee also doesn't hold a candle to Starbucks. Its such a shame. Sub par coffee and now extremely sub par bagels. I also can't stress enough how much it bothers me I haven't seen a single familiar face since the re-opening. Some of the people who worked there worked there for years. read more

This is the first week of October and I really only came for a pumpkin drink and they said they are out of pumpkin for the rest of the season. They will be losing a lot of customers from that. I also order a egg sandwich and said it not in the right fork I guess and the lady at the register just stood there laughing at me and didn't even care to help. The egg sandwich wasn't good and we won't be coming back because of this. It's so sad because I used to love Einstein's. Just can't believe about the pumpkin. read more

This place has terrible customer service. I had my order wrong twice and they didn't even offer me any kind of compensation. My coffee was not good due to chunky almond milk and charged me $8 for vegan cream cheese on four bagels when I only wanted it on two. No refund or anything for the trouble. Won't be back! read more

I love love love Einstein bros bagels! They are really good and I love receiving coupons for them because that means I get a chance to indulge. I like this place (location) because it's much more friendly than the one across from Clearwater High School. You can often see people just chilling outside enjoying their bagels with their pets and kids. They are even nicer than the ones I've had serve me at the Gulf to Bay location. They have so many different bagels and also sandwiches. This place is just amazing! Get them when they are fresh and you won't regret it. The cream spread is even more amazing. I've never liked eating store bought cream cheese and have always gone out my way to get Einstein's cream cheese spread. read more

Einstein's has always had this, "Keeping up the the Jones," when it comes to bagels and coffee. Although I am a complete Starbucks junkie, you can't beat a fresh everything bagel from these guys. They have some creative blends of coffee too. Speedy service with a clean dining area tops off a good experience! read more

I have always loved Einstein Bagels. Everything is so delicious and full of flavor. The specialty bagels are to die for! Since it's close to the Fall season, they have Pumpkin Bagels and drinks. I love Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING. They have several different types of cream cheeses to choose from and many drinks. They also have bagel sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. Plus, they offer over 10 different bagel choices so you can customize your sandwich. I'm in carb. heaven!! read more

I like the coffee. The nova lox bagel is good. The last two times I visited their hazelnut coffee was empty and I had to ask that they refill/replace it. As I sit here writing this... Two of the four coffee flavors are empty. I would've given a higher star rating if they paid a little bit more attention to the coffee levels. read more

They didn't have anyone out front for about 10 mins and then proceeded to tell me that they didn't have a certain product on their menu until I pointed directly to it. Dirty, not fast, not worth it. read more

Maybe an off day? Place was dirty. No one in line ordered right away but waited 15 min for 2 sandwich's. Breakfast sandwich with spinach and mushroom was very greasy. I couldn't even eat half of it. Disappointed as we have stopped here before with no issues. Not sure we will be back. read more
