Free Parking was easy on Sunday around 1230pm, it was fast and easy to order. The food came out fast and it was good, the drinks were sweeter than I expected so maybe next time I'll order something else. They close at 2pm on Sunday so we didn't stay there longer, but it was a good experience, the staff was ok, not bad or great. Overall experience was good, we will come back and try other items from the menu. Their sandwiches were good. read more

The food was OK, but not enjoyable, because the experience was not. It's 12:40 on Sunday. They're open until 2 p.m. It's not crazy-busy, but there are still customers. No coffee I wanted in either of the 2 urns. When I asked about it, they made some, but acted like it was a huge imposition. Empty cream pitcher, no other options. The entire dining area was being mopped, with the signal that they didn't want you there. When I asked if they would please cut my sandwich in half, they refused. ???? Customers are really a bother to most employees here. Made the whole experience unpleasant. read more

Terrible and scammy. My food was thrown across the table after ordering and after paying they told us it'll be 45 minutes...45 minutes. Not before paying after...Then they didn't even give us all the food we ordered we were missing my bagel from the new brunch deal...we ordered 4 items and only got 3 very crushed and cold items...disappointed don't go here they do not care about quality, your time, your breakfast or your day...Do not go here. Be better.... read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Food and drinks are just ok if that Boy oh boy do the employees act like you're bothering them if you're eating there, if you're ordering there or if you use the restroom, do yourself a favor since they're so bothered just stay away. Attitudes really are piss poor. read more

So few locations of this chain left, this one is a bit worn/outdated. Good for grab 'n go items, or a hot breakfast or lunch. Staff is efficient and friendly. They are a good neighbor--with donations of unsold bagels to local 501c3 orgs. Closes early so you can't get a carb fix late afternoon. read more

Yikes. No amount of flavor on the bagels can account for the bad taste that man bun left in my mouth. I pray everyday that I will walk in the store and his angry, hateful, and overall disrespectful attitude will be gone, and each day I'm disappointed to see it still there. If god loved bagels he would rid the bagel community of this horrible employee. Sincerely, a disappointed patron. read more

I was very disappointed when I picked up an online order I place for a dozen bagels. I was told you will have to pick out 6 bagels. I replied my order was placed for the bagels I want. The girl replied we were busy today. I said so you didn't honor my order and reserve the bagels I paid for. I said I order x amount of plain bagels because that's what my guests want. So you're telling me I have to go somewhere else to buy plain bagels?. Can I get a refund for the missing bagels then. She replied you can pick out bagels from the glass case. Very unprofessional! so don't bother placing a large order on for pickup they won't honor your order. read more

When I called about my order the gentleman was extremely kind and helpful over the phone. They made sure I received my comfort food order and my entire order was correct!! You can never go wrong with a side of some yummy cheesy hash browns! I ate mine before I could snap a photo :)! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - jalapeño cheddar bagel with egg whites, cheddar cheese & Vanilla cold brew - Bagels Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

I'm currently in the restaurant right now eating the maple house bagel. I had to make this review before I finished it because it is so delicious. I never had a bagel so good in my life. read more

Man bun had awful service. Was angry while giving us a water cup. Just disrespectful and seemed so unhappy doing his job. Food was great but this man makes me not wanna come back. Change needs to happen. read more

This place never ceases to amaze me if I order no cheese they make it how they want if you order more than one breakfast sandwich they won't toast them read more

Consistently rude crew in this place. It never changes. You'd think the actual owners would want to convey customer appreciation. NOT.

The worst! Bagel arrived to me cold , had a hair in it , & the bread was stale. Also I ordered an iced vanilla latte and they just made a plain iced coffee with no flavor in it read more

my 1st time at Glen Ellyn IL location. I will not return. No one greeted me and when I ordere, the cashier made my food. The store is unclean and extremely cold. Every table had food crumbs on it AND all over the floor, around the tables. There is only 1 tyoe of chips at this location, Sea Salt. People came off the streets and filled up 2 tall coffee cups and no one said anything to her. there were 6 employees at 10am but 1 person cooking. The food was fair but not worh $14.00. 2 Star for food, 1 star for service and 0 zero stars for cleanlines, ambiance, etc. This must be a family owned location because of lack of service and other duties. read more

This is the worst run establishment I've ever been in. Constant line of people coming in to get their orders corrected and a super rude staff all around. 5 people in line and they act like they're slammed wall to wall. It would be faster to sit down for breakfast than to come here for a bagel and a coffee read more

On 10-10-23 they charged us 4x for ONE order we placed on 10-7. Advised them of their error in person and online. They did NOTHING except help themselves to money that does not belong to them. I am very sick and disabled and have a real problem with multi million dollar companies stealing from those who don't have much. Do not go here! They are not trustworthy and if THEY screw up, their customer service is non-existent. You have been warned! read more

Quickest and easiest place to get lox from so I usually order it from here. The last time I did, I got a piece of salmon that covered maybe a quarter of the bagel IF that and no capers even though I asked for extra... Decided to try it again today and ordered through Grubhub. Order was real simple: cheesy hash brown bagel with cream cheese and avocado. (sounds weird, trust me it can be real good) Of course that's not what I got... I got some small bagel, not even sure what kind other than it wasn't what I ordered, and half of it had cream cheese that had a nasty crust on parts of it and the other half had brown gooey avocado smeared on it. *insert barf emoji* It gets even better. I immediately went to the Grubhub app and told them what happened and apparently their protocol is to call the store and ask them if they can give me a refund. Think that happened? Of course not. Einstein refused to let them process a refund for me. The food was inedible. Probably would have gotten sick if ate it. And then not even willing to refund me for it? Absolutely the worst. I'm done with them. read more

We appreciate all the hard work you have provided the community, your support means so much. Each day is better with one of your delicious bagels! Thanks again, Park Ave Cleaners read more

Absolutely horrible service, we bought bagels this morning at the Glen Ellen location told my husband they do not toast or cut the bagels for you? If you are a bagel store wouldn't you cut and toast the bagel? Also the children working there obviously did not want to work were extremely rude to both my husband and a fellow customer as well. As a business if you want to succeed I highly recommend hiring better employees and wanting to satisfy your customers that are paying you. Will never come back and will let other people know not to come back! read more

I ordered the garden avocado egg sandwich, sea salt chips and bacon, avocado tomato egg white sandwich! Everything was amazing! I highly recommend! I ordered via the door dash app with pickup! read more

The food here was delectable and delicious, but I do have a concern there is one worker in particular that was very disrespectful to me and my pals and purposely got our order incorrect. This has now happened multiple times coming here and we are refused services from this one worker in particular. read more

Super fast service and the bagels were really good, had the farmhouse in everything bagel.

great place to have a bagel, tea, juice, smoothie!!! ....this place opens up super early in the morning and right on a prairie path. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - a sandwich and a drink on a table - Bagels Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Food is consistently good but the service is amazing. The owner is very friendly and works incredibly hard to make sure everything runs smoothly. This is my go-to Einstein! read more

Food was fine, bearded man bun was asshole. We ordered food and he refused to give me a cup for water and immediately yelled at my family to exit the building. One star for the service. read more

I've been here several times, for both breakfast(s) and lunch(es), and each time is as one would expect - the food is decent, the service is solid, the decor is an Einstein Bros. If you've never been here before then you can expect a large assortment of bagels, bagel sandwiches, and drinks. As I said, I've run the gamut of what they offer and you pretty much cannot go wrong with whatever you get - their bagels are (usually) fresh and their schemers are pretty delicious. For bagels, I'll certainly return again in the future. Then again, they're kind of the only option in town (literally). read more

So disappointed the store closed on County Farm Road. This store on Main street is very nasty. The area where you doctor up your coffee was nasty. They were out of Vanilla creamer. I took the container to the clerk for a refill and they couldn't find the creamer?!? Pulled this unmarked VERY DIRTY looking pitcher from the fridge and sniffed it on the front line ?!? I was so disgusted! I spent the last of the money on my app so I would not ever have to go back!! Seriously still upset at the grime in this store. Yuck! Not a fan anymore :( read more

Seriously, it's a chain bagel shop so know that going in BUT the staff are so friendly fast and AWESOME! This is my go to spot for blackberry lemonade and bagels. I'm here at least three times per week. Be sure to check your receipts. They sometimes offer coupons of buy any item get three free bagels! read more

hey i'm not mad but i found a hair in my food. other than that everything was good but i just wanted to let u guys know and to fix it that's all. thanks read more

Mehhh I wavered between giving 2 stars and 3, luckily I'm in a "generous" mood. Einstein Bros is one of those places I remember from my childhood: warm, comfy, that smell of bagels... I haven't been much since I was a child so that is still my memory. I was a little disappointed this past visit. Let me start off with my biggest pet peeve: shmeere. Who the hell decided to call the cream cheese "shmeere". You wanna know what it makes me think of every time? Well I'm gonna tell you anyway and ruin it for you too-- I think of a dog poop skid on the grass when someone can't get a clean pickup. Yeah, gross, just call it cream cheese. OK, now that I had my rant-- the bagel. This past visit I got the nova lox bagel: plain bagel, CREAM CHEESE, salmon, capers, tomato, and red onion. Sounds delicious, I know; however, for $7-8, I'd expect better. Now, my mother always says that I practically make spreading cream cheese an art because I appreciate an even layer of cream cheese from center to edge-- I'm sorry Einstein but you never do that! It's always much thicker in the middle and doesn't quite reach the edges. Particularly with salmon, the cream cheese gets too overpowering in the center. Also, they went way too light on the capers, which were all in the middle too. I guess this is why I don't usually come here, because I know I can do it better. It isn't bad, just not great nor worth the cost. The staff also wasn't the friendliest, maybe that's different if you're a regular, but I actually saw an employee sneer at another customer when they turned away after asking them about something. Clean store, still kind of has that bagel smell but the smell of coffee is now stronger, decent place, but not somewhere I feel the need to visit frequently. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Nova lox. Needs more capers and more evenly spread cream cheese. Reasonable amount of salmon though - Bagels Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Pros: The cream cheese options are great - the coffee is good - the location is convenient. Cons: The Autumn coffee they stopped carrying which is a major disappointment! - on numerous occasions as your running to catch the train for work and you just want a coffee, there is no one behind the cash register to take your order. You end up leaving without your coffee because they do not have enough help to make breakfasts and check customers out - no gluten free options except a small container of fruit. As a Celiac you are very limited. read more

Love Einstein Bagels but not this location. No where to sit , they have a dining room but he has kept it closed since Covid 2020 and now no outdoor seating with the street torn up, it is time to open the dining room. The restaurant needs a good cleaning. Not interested in going to this location until they make some changes. read more

I come here pretty often with my brother, my brother loves this place! And now so do I. Their sesame seed bagels are my favorite and their chicken breakfast sandwich is really good! It is a little pricy for a breakfast sandwich, but it is really worth it. Everyone here is so nice. read more

I love Einstein Bagels, especially the lox and cream cheese on the Everything Bagel. This place made the typically great bagel that you find at Einstein Bagels. Then the owner (manager?) came out and cleaned off the tables and used the same cloth to clean the chairs before proceeding to the next table with the dirty cloth. Doesn't anybody realize the filth, farts, and fecal matter than reside on chairs? I've seen this at other restaurants and it immediately turns my stomach so that I won't go back. Wishing I could have given a five star rating. read more

This location is one of the many reasons why I never want to have kids. Nevermind an ipod, you might want to bring dynamite to drown out the noise. Still, without bagels I'd be severely malnourished. They're also some of the tastiest I've had, so I reluctantly put up with the children. May I suggest a children's section? Oh please, Einstein! read more

One star for the non- smiling bearded male employee who apparently wants everyone to know how unhappy he is. What a frigid place to work. Coffee was basically room temp when I put the cream in. Bagel toasted was cold. Hmmm. Whose the manager here??? Dark roast coffee empty. I asked for more and was told..."we don't brew anymore dark roast after 10:30" Two other women seemed happy and accomadating. Wish we had gone to their register. 12/2/16....the only reason I don't frequent this place is because of the employees. Soooooo miserably unhappy. read more

I like Einstein Bros. I have eaten there on occasion for the better part of more than a decade back in Kansas City when they were known as Bagel and Bagel. Anyway, on a recent stop with my family and sister-in-law's family, my wife and sister-in-law each stood in line collectively for 30 minutes to get a freakin' bagel. Not only is your establishment cramped as shit, but to add insult to injury, I have to wait 30 minutes for a bagel and cream cheese. That is horseshit. You know it and I know it. I'll go back, but instead of yelping about it, you will hear it from me directly. Shame on you. read more

Only been here once and seeing the other review and realizing the onslaught of kiddies was not a one-off, I doubt I shall return. Food was Einstein's usually mediocre self and while there was a large dining area (compared to most) it was overrun with children. Not teeny boppers but middle school youth. I don't know when I was that age my guy friends wouldn't be caught dead with a smoothie and I highly doubt they would have touched a bagel even if it was free! Oh well - times have changed. Take it to go! read more
