To be honest, we had all but given up on Einstein's after our repeated issues with food quality, bad service and burnt coffee, but they lured us back with a free birthday deal to give it one more try. We decided to avoid the one 5 minutes from our house and go to one on the other end of town, in hopes we'd finally have a good experience. Well, they didn't disappoint! The two ladies working were friendly, capable and quick in taking our order and serving up our sandwiches and lattes! The food was made nicely, tasty and the coffees were delicious. They did forget our 'schmear' with our to go, but we'll swing by and grab it. Even the interior look of this location is better than our local store, with nice seating areas and a fairly clean dining room. We'll be back! read more

The store at Colo and highlands ranch Blvd is the worst .The bagels there are half the size of any other store.Avoid this store if you want a normal bagel go to one of the other stores. read more

Super Einstein's location - bagels are always fresh and employees are friendly and helpful - Doug made my bagel sandwich and made my day today! Thank you! Highly recommended. read more

Don't know why this location only has 2 stars, but they're really not bad. I've gone here a few times now & I must say that everything has been consistent, and that's what you want to see in a restaurant. Are they NY bagels, no, but they're not that bad & even better on one of their egg sandwiches! I've been eating their Brisket sandwich & I really like it! The brisket is always very tender & juicy, so no complaints there! I went there yesterday morning (Sunday) & they were timely, friendly & 100% correct on my order. I will continue to go to this Einstein Bagel location, use their App & be treated to a good sandwich! Keep it up crew! read more

This place is absolutely terrible. If I order a sandwich without cheese it has cheese on it If I order a sandwich with ham it's missing the ham If I ask them to cut the sandwich in half so I can actually eat it, it's not cut. They do literally the opposite of what you ask for. I hate this place and I'm done going here read more

Now I think there's a new manager at the Einstein Bagel store at University and Colorado Blvd. How do I know? Well for the first time in years they're making Pumpernickel Bagels! And they are good ones too! I've given them bad reviews in the past because they wouldn't make Pumpernickel Bagels. Because of that I've had to drive to a different bagel shop. Pumpernickel Bagels are that important to me. I really don't much care for all the rest. I also started boiling and baking my own. But now, once again Einstein Bagels is a bagel store, and I am grateful. I was told that the store at Highlands Ranch Parkway and Broadway is also serving Pumpernickel Bagels and that they have the same manager. I want to personally thank this new manager for making Pumpernickel Bagels. So, Thank You! I'm very happy. Next time I'll check on the store at Highlands Ranch Parkway and Broadway. read more

Sunday, 9/26/2021 at 12:00 pm. Placed an order through doordash. Received order 1:40 pm. Received a bag with the receipt clipped to the front showing: Breakfast sandwich, hash brown, 2 churro bagels, 1/2 dozen baker's box (including variety of flavors). Received: sandwich that wasn't the one we ordered, hash brown (good job guys!), FIVE bagels of the SAME flavor and 2 cookies (huh?). So I called to very nicely explain to the manager what happened. Got a bunch of excuses and was told "well we ran out of churro bagels at 11 AM.." okay... and I am supposed to know that how? No apology. Tells me to contact doordash. Which I did and received a refund. However, we never got food we waited 90 minutes for. We are still cranky and hungry. read more

Food is awesome. The staff are friendly. The coffee is delicious. The location is convenient and easy to find.

No place to sit and enjoy a few pleasant moments! Why did they remove the seating? Not friendly at all.

Eh, I mean we kind of new what we were getting into when we stopped in but nothing special. Food seemed pretty average. The customer service was great though and we really appreciated that. Overall average compared to what you would get at any Einstein's. read more

Now that they have been allowed to have instore dining again (previous bonehead corporate pin head decisions) and they have free coffee rewards on their app, I'm liking this place a lot more again. Their App still needs a lot of work...can't select any bagel offered on app for sandwiches, and can't add gift cards to your account for payment on app, and app is a bit hard to navigate to get to menu to order, but not the stores fault...more bonehead Corp issues. Like the folks at this location. They are fast, good food, and OK prices if you take advantage of online rewards. read more

Coffee was cold and they were out of creamer. Not busy when I arrived two employees behind the counter.

I don't know why I kept giving this place a chance, but today was the last time. I don't think they've ever gotten my bagel order right, and today they decided to serve me a raw bagel. The dough was raw inside. I went back in for a refund, and they completely ignored me, then the "manager" gave me major attitude and was so rude when I asked once again for a refund after standing there for over 20 minutes. This place is ridiculous. She made it a hundred times worse when she walked up with the worst attitude I've ever seen. I wasn't even mad when I walked in, because I understand that things happen, but good lord, she was awful to me over something that wasn't even my fault. read more

This location has really nose dived. No more inside eating (bonehead corp decision), always out of 1/2 of bagles, pop machine doesnt work, no bakery items. Too bad, I used to go here 5+ times a week, now maybe once every 3 months. read more

Been coming here for at least 20yrs. When the pandemic hit, booths and tables were removed. A new, "hip", management group came in at their Lakewood HQ, and decided not to bring them back. Plain stupid! Fortunately, a new management team has taken over, and has brought back the dine-in, sit and relax, spend some time and money with us, mentality. YAY!! You are greeted upon entering the store, eye-to-eye interaction at the counter, and a thank-you when leaving. Windows and doors are being kept clean, which sends the right message. Keep up the good work team Einstein!! FR read more

the staff is friendly and they try hard, so I want to rate the store higher. However, the procedure for walking in, placing an order, having the order fulfilled, and checking out are convoluted and confusing for the customer experience. As a result, it's not clear where to stand, who to talk to, how to integrate the Einstein app ordering and payment process, and how to ensure your order is fulfilled accurately. in addition, I have had numerous instances of my orders being wrong or not being complete. By the way, this ongoing experience is consistent with multiple Einstein stores in the area, so this is a corporate issue. I have decided that, going forward, I shall be purchasing bagels from other establishments. read more

Ordered this just now and this is what I got. Totally not worth the price. Didn't get greeted. The only thing ask was what's your name. Dirty no tables. read more

Preface: Brooklyn NY bagel raised and understand that no matter that these Einstein brothers come up with it will never be the same. But come on. Your brother came with the Atomic bomb is it too much to ask to just make things that look and taste good? Sesame seed bagel, toasted with a spread and tomatoes ...... my NY relatives are laughing at me as they partake in a delicious NY Lox Bagel. This place is simply mediocre! It ain't hard to make stuff taste and look good Einstein! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - So fricking appetizing! Tomato to bagel ratio is simply ain't right. - Bagels Near Me - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

There are several Einstein Bagels near us but I've always liked the one on Colorado and University. I went in today to get my Monday bagels and I was definitely not happy with what I came home with. I opened the box when I got home and I could smell the burnt odor over the usually strong smell of the everything bagels. What makes me the most disappointed is that they knew the bagels were very over baked, but gave them to me anyway. I could probably just take them back and they'd give me new ones but I'm just going to throw them out and find a new location to buy my bagels. It's one thing if it's an honest mistake but it's different when done on purpose to get rid of a bad batch of burnt bagels. read more

So I am changing my review to one star. After we started eating our bagels I realized over 1/2 my order were NOT BAGELS I ORDERED! Chocolate ones - cranberry - wheat, all which will not be eaten. What a waste and now more frustrated. Basically they FORGOT ABOUT MY ORDER and threw in what ever they had when I got there. I will NEVER give this location my business again. read more

I go here all the time and I have never gotten my order correctly. They didn't toast my bagel and I'm super upset about it. It changed the entire bagel eating experience and out of all the mistakes they have made this has to be the worst. Out of principal I can not recommend this bagel place to anyone and I think all the employees should go on strike. Maybe I'll be back in like 11 months to give them another chance. This is a warning you have 11 months to get your shit together before I return. Peace and love read more

on saturday i got 2 bagels while i was eating half it,I found 2 pieces of hair in the cheese,that was the most disgusting thing that ever happened to me. ABSOLUTELY NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS PLACE!! read more

I write this in hopes the manager makes some changes. 1). The place is really dirty. When you are sitting down, you can see under the cream cheese self serve display. You can see standing water, cups that have been there for days and lint 2). While sitting, I watched some lint fall from the air vent into the toaster oven located behind the order register. 3). The breakfast sandwich was served with cold cheese. I will have to say they were nice to heat it up. On the positive side, everyone is nice and other customers seem to enjoy it, great place to chat. read more

I'm a bagel junkie, and this place leaves something to be desired. Not the company - this specific location. The staff is mostly useless, and contribute to slow waits for no discernible reason. You need to repeat everything 3 times and more often than not the order is incorrect. They don't exactly jump to correct mistakes. The process for ordering and checking out is never the same. One day it'll be the left cash register, the next the right. Someday you order on the left and pay on the right. Who knows? Food is good enough, it's a chain restaurant. At a minimum it has to be consistent across the restaurants or they'd be out of business. If it wasn't the only bagel place close to home I wouldn't come here. read more

This place is the absolute worst Came here last week at 10am no plain bagels no poppy seed . The kid behind the counter is going to end up digging ditches as an adult . He is a total moron. can't get the order straight. Come here again today 10:45 am Trying to give them a second chance Again no plain bagels - no poppy- no potato -- same kid as last week. I ask him why are you always out of bagels. His comment we are always out. Told him to cancel the order . Go to the other location on highlands ranch parkway. This has to be the worst location in the state. See all the reviews don't waste your time read more

Server was extremely rude. She did not heat our sandwiches and didn't put any sauce on. My husband went back to get sauce on our sandwiches and she wasn't apologetic at all just slapped sauce on the sandwiches. read more

Love the food. Despise the service. I feel terrible for the people who work here (and just about every Einstein's I've been too). Something is broken and I blame corporate for not creating an environment that works. Every location I have been too is full of chaos and unhappy, waiting customers. Any stars belong to the food. Fix the rest Einsteins. read more

I dropped by two days ago looking forward to lunch. The rest of the world has come back to normalcy but this place is still stuck in 2020. No place to sit in this place. All tables are removed but the booth seats are still there. Indifferent staff quickly states they no longer have indoor seating. Went to Jason's Deli instead. They let you sit to eat your meal. Big improvement. read more

Staff here just does not know what they are doing. Called a head and told them I'm about 10-15 mins away. I wanted to pick up breakfast before work at 5:45am. I showed up and they said I placed an order for 10:30 am pick up. So I will be late for work read more

Worst service experience ever. Serve some customers while others that were these 15 minutes earlier get there orders done on the spot and leave. TOTAL SHIT SHOW!!! read more

Super long line and under staffed. Waited over twenty minutes, get my order and it's wrong. Guy in front of me has received incorrect order as well (twice). Not to mention flies around the front counter area. Gross. read more

I have not been here in about a year and boy has the food gone downhill. I ordered an egg sandwich with bacon and cheese, which was my typical order when I visit. It arrived COLD and with finger dents in the bagel from what I assume is from cutting it in half. When I told the staff that my sandwich was cold they said that's how it's supposed to be. Obviously the eggs are pre-cooked and refrigerated. Gross. I've never had a cold egg breakfast sandwich nor one with finger dents. Ever. Anywhere. It's always been warm the previous visits and un-manhandled. I'm definitely not going back and will find a breakfast place that will serve warm egg sandwiches without the need to dig fingers in the bagels. I gave this two stars only because they updated the decor, there was a large selection of bagels to choose, and the staff was friendly. read more

This place seriously sucks. They messed up my drink order and when I went back in to get what I had ordered, they pretty much gave me whatever was on the counter and added some caramel to it. This place blows read more

We waited 25 minutes for 2 bagels and still never received them. They were out of coffee, women's bathroom was out of toilet paper, and hadn't been cleaned anytime in the recent past. There were 3 people behind the counter and they still somehow couldn't keep up. Highly highly advise anyone against coming to this location unless you have an hour to wait. read more
