I came in on a Friday morning around 8:45 am and it was clearly peak to-go time. There were about six employees behind the counter, all hustling to fill orders for customers waiting around. The only hiccup? No one was at the register for about five minutes, so I stood there waiting to place my order. Eventually, someone wrapped up what they were working on and helped me out. I ordered a simple everything bagel with veggie schmear to go. The process at Einstein Bros. Bagels feels a little inefficient -- you order at one end and then pay at the other. After ordering, I had to wait another five minutes for someone to become available to ring me up. Not a huge deal, but it did add to the overall wait time for a very simple order. Once everything was squared away, my bagel was ready just a few minutes later and I grabbed it from the pickup counter in the middle of the store. As for the bagel itself -- solid and satisfying. Nothing groundbreaking, but dependable. It wasn't too soft or too hard, just your typical bagel with a good chew. I asked for it lightly toasted and they nailed it -- not burned, not overly crisp. They also put on a generous amount of veggie schmear, which I appreciated. Parking was easy since it's located in a strip mall with several open spots available. There's plenty of seating inside for both small and larger groups, plus an outdoor patio area. The ambiance is your standard casual restaurant vibe -- nothing fancy, but that's not really why you come here. Overall, a good, reliable bagel with a bit of a clunky ordering process. I'd definitely come back, just maybe not during the morning rush. read more

Bagels and coffee, how can you go wrong? I am always surprised how busy this place is in the morning. They obviously know how to make bagels. I tend to order on the app and bypass the line. To go orders can be self -picked up on the shelves to the left. They have some good deals on the app and the breakfast sandwiches are decent for the price. It's got cafeteria vibes inside but it's usually full of folks in the morning. read more

im not usually one to leave a review. This place deserves one, i've never been more satisfied with a bagel in my life, i got the maple bagel and my bf got the chorizo one, both equally bomb i honestly could eat 30 of my stomach allowed read more

I'm so excited to see this place! I went to order the gal, taking my order with slurred her words and talking fast. I just looked at her and told her what I wanted and she kept slurring her words and talking fast. I finally explained to her. if you'd slow down and articulate your words, I might understand you. A bit rude, but her attitude changed. When I was done with that, I had to go check out to pay. Well, the boy there slurred his words I looked at he said I just want that that's all I want and then some gal asked me if I had rewards. I could understand her and I said no I just want that y'all need to stop slurring your words. They took offense to it. Here's a big tip. If you're working with the public, you need to wait for the customer look at them and articulate your words. Slow down a bit folks there was nobody else in the place except for me. I don't know your menu. I don't care to know your menu. All I asked for was a toasted bagel with cream cheese. How difficult is that? I wanted a cinnamon raisin bagel whole in a bag and they want to keep asking me questions. Again, speak slowly look at the customer and don't slur your words. It's OK to learn how to have proper etiquette. I won't be back. It makes me think twice before I head into any Einstein franchises. read more

First visit to this, or any other Einstein Bagel, and it wasn't the greatest experience unfortunately. We ordered 2 split bagels, untoasted, as we planned to eat them later at home, both with cream cheese. While waiting my husband noticed she was applying the cheese. He went to the counter to remind her we wanted it on the side, to which the girl replied with a "you didn't tell me that" and just stood staring at him. Husband reported back yes, he had (which I'd heard him say) and she walked away to grab 2 more. She seemed bothered enough that we were a bit nervous about taking the replacement ones, but luckily she immediately went into the back with other employees and an older, more pleasant female employee took over. A minor mistake...but the response was definitely off-putting. As for the bagels, they were just okay. Although the flavors were good on each, the bagels were both tough unfortunately. read more

I ordered through the mobile app and when i arrived at the store i was not greeted. I stood by the cash register waiting for someone to talk to me for a whole 2 mins about my order that I can see is done on the counter and not the pick up shelf. I didn't feel comfortable grabbing it without being acknowledged. Finally got my order when the employees stopped talking about their personal life. When I received my order I went to my car to start eating, I took a couple bits and then noticed a hair in my sandwich which than made me look at both half's. That when I found multiple hairs sticking out of the middle of my sandwich. I went back inside to tell an employee which all they said was " oh I'm sorry... I can remake it." While walking away from me. She remade the sandwich and offered me a drink or cookie. What would have been better was being offered a refund and them improving their customer service. I am a shift lead at a fast food restaurant and wouldn't treat a customer like that.... Especially if hair is found in the food. Do better. read more

Beware-- online ordering does NOT work if you're not willing to sign up for yet another app. If you don't have 30 minutes to waste waiting in person for a few bagels, don't bother. read more

Love getting breakfast here, my go to is the All Nighter but everything else on the menu is delicious as well, they also have dog bagel treats at checkout in a jar which is nice for dog owners. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, if you haven't tried this place you have to stop by at least once. read more

So, my Bethany Village neighborhood strip mall needs a proper, decent bagel shop that delivers. With coffee. Espresso. We don't have one. A girl can dream, right? BTW there is a great spot for one where the yoga studio was. Just sayin'. Einstein's is the closest place. We had breakfast delivered from there today. It is my Friday, I have chemo tomorrow, and I've been told to eat more and better the day before for a better outcome. So my teen figured out food at 8am while I was starting my work day from home and our breakfast arrived about a half hour later. My bagel sandwich was hot, the egg was nice, the cheese was melted, the bacon was crispy, and the bagel was toasted. It was not the Asiago bagel my teen ordered for me but it was a fine plain bagel. My kid reported their hash brown breakfast bagel was good as well. Same contents inside. There were also juices, apple and orange, squishy cheesy hash brown thingies, and a blueberry muffin and churro bagel for later. Hot things arrived hot, cold things arrived cold. There was nothing wrong really but also nothing memorable. It was fine. I upped them a star from last time because the blueberry muffin is pretty dang good and teen liked the churro number. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, but it does what it does pretty well. read more

Always hit this place when I'm in Hillsboro. Tasty food, friendly service. They even offer a senior discount.

Probably my favorite chain to get a bagel from. Bagels always feel fresh and the sandwiches have always been packed. Service can be sort of hit and miss to be honest, but on the most part I've had a positive experience at this location. I always have a tough time deciding if I want a sweet or savory bagel, so luckily they cover both spectrums well. My favorites are the Chorizo egg sandwich, Texas brisket egg sandwich, and their strawberry smear. read more

Ordered through DoorDash - ordered individual bagels for next day consumption, checked the NOT TOASTED box, and they came toasted. Submitted claim to DoorDash, they refunded but I still needed the items so I am supposed to reorder and pay delivery and tip again?! Please pay attention to the order details. This happens SO often. read more

We've gotten a dozen bagels here 5-10 times and they're always been super chewy. Recently however they've been super dense, and I personally don't like ripping apart my food like a caveman first thing in the morning. At this point, they're just worse than grocery-store bagels and I don't even know what I'm paying the premium for, so I did some research and there's a place in Beaverton called My Favorite Muffin & Bagel Cafe that I'm going to try instead! Haven't even been there yet but I'd easily recommend them over this place unless you enjoy the sensation of biting through literal rocks read more

Einstein Bros Bagels is a bagel and coffee chain restaurant with about eleven locations in the Portland metro area. This particular location is close to home so it was only a matter of time before we would wander in here to check it out. My roommate loves bagels. I knew going in that this was not a top of the line gourmet bagel house, so expectations were only slightly above grocery store bagel level. The place was not too crowded and fairly clean. We were checking out the available bagel flavors when Amy came by to assist us. She was great. She informed us about a great deal they have all day on Mondays where you can get 13 bagels for only 7.00 with fancy bagels costing slightly more. She was very helpful and offered great customer service that you rarely find at those gourmet bagel houses. Amy made our first visit to Einstein Bros Bagels a very positive one. We left with 13 bagels and 5 delicious sounding schmears. The bagels were better than expected. They were crispy on the outside with a dense texture and quite chewy. The schmears were also good. They are whipped and easy to spread. The honey almond flavor is great. So while Einstein Bros might not have the top of the line gourmet bagels, what they have isn't too bad. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Amy, you will have great service. If you're in the area give them a try. read more

This was my first experience with Einstein Bros. I needed bagels for a work function and they were my first thought, and open early enough. All of the staff were extremely friendly and a great diverse mix of a team. The person at the register guided me through the process with ease. With their quick service I was out of there in a few minutes. The bagels and muffins were a delicious hit with the team. Ordered an assorted baker's dozen box and I got to choose my Schmear flavours out of the case. Which was a great perk as I could take my time to decide. Definitely going back for a personal breakfast soon. read more

Popped in here on a Thursday afternoon looking for lunch. I ordered a breakfast bagel but hey that's what sounded good at lunch time. I have never been inside of an Einstein Bagel before so first thing I do when I come in as explained that I'm probably one of those annoying customers who have no idea what they're ordering but I'm going to order it anyways and just pray that they can make something work. Fortunately I was greeted an assisted by one of the friendliest cashier as I've met in a long time, however by looking at my receipt I do not see a cashier name. Although the sandwich was tasty, I wouldn't put it at anything worth writing home about or even to Yelp about. However I did want to give a shout out to the wonderful young lady who helped me out, if it helps my order was taken 11-21 at 2:09 p.m. and the young lady who helped me in the front was just as friendly and sweet as pie. Hopefully her manager sees this and knows that he's got a good one on his hands! read more

Bagels were extremely dry and disappointing. Maybe they were yesterday's batch. But if I'm coming in around 7:30 am, I'd expect the bagels to taste fresh. A pack of prepackaged bagels in a grocery store would've been less stale. read more

Good bagels but almost every time I come I get the bacon egg and cheese and ask for cream cheese on it. They charge 2 dollars for that and always forget to put it on. read more

This past Saturday we wanted some breakfast sandwiches, but we wanted to do it our way. We had the eggs and bacon so while the wife got that ready I went out for some bagels. I headed down Cornell and turned into Panera Bread's parking lot. I was just going to hop in for a few. Then I thought why go here when Einstein's is just a little farther down the road? I backed it up and headed down the road. Turns out that was a good decision. While Panera's bagels have improved, (they were horrible imo when they were first offered) Einstein's Bagels are much closer to the NY Style bagel that I am looking for. Don't get me wrong they aren't what I would expect in NY but they are pretty good. Not only are the toppings plentiful and tasty, the bagels are uniform all the way around so they are quite easy to slice and get pretty close to 50-50. I got a baker's dozen with a couple schmears. When I got home we made bacon egg and cheese sandwiches without having to pay premium prices. Good breakfast. read more

Heard nothing but good things about Einstein Bros and it didn't disappoint. It's all about the shmears which is basically flavored cream cheese spreads. I got a Farmhouse, a Chef's creation with egg, bacon, ham, cheddar cheese w/ country pepper shmear on a cheesy hash brown bagel. This is pretty much a glorified breakfast sandwich between bagels. The wife got a pumpkin bagel w/ pumpkin shmear. If you can imagine a pumpkin pie cheesecake smeared between the bagel, then that's exactly how good it tasted. Also got a handful of their shmearfuls which are bite sized babe bites that's filled with flavored different flavored cream cheeses. Our favorite was the French toast (w/ maple shmear). Ordering was simple and the line can get long but it went by rather quickly. read more

Super friendly staff! The nova lox was delicious and well made. Definitely worth the price. I recommend!

Great place for a quick bite to eat. Our preferred spot for breakfast and brunch. We have tried their Avocado Toast and Farmers Sandwich several times. Parking in the complex is not an issue. I'd recommend to order ahead via online or app as the place is fairly busy. They do have covid protocols in terms of social distancing and sanitizers. I'd highly recommend this place to everyone and as always I will be a loyal customer to this wonderful establishment for many years to come! read more

Horrible customer service and experience. Today I simply went in to get a bagel for my wife and a breakfast burrito for myself. After waiting 15 minutes and seeing at least 4 other people get their orders before mine was a joke. They had me standing there like an idiot, and gave someone else my food. (that they got to keep for FREE) I had to go up to the counter and say something. NOT only that but, my burrito was cold, I asked for the bagel to be toasted and it wasn't, and they added random coffee stuff in my bag. I don't understand how you could mess up such a simple order with only a few customers in there! read more

Me and my boyfriend have a weekly breakfast date. Usually it's Elmer's or Shari's. But having just moved, literally right across the street, from Einstein bros bagels, we decided to have our breakfast date here. And it was so good, we had it for breakfast the next day, and then a little later do lunch. The bagels are legitimately the best I have ever had and the employees are what makes the place. They're open, friendly, polite, and informative. They make the suggestions to give you the best deal possible and will go out of their way to make your experience a great one. I'm looking forward to walking over there for breakfast every week during this lease, and diving there after that. If you have any reservations about going to this place, don't worry! It's now one of our favorite spots. read more

I'm a regular (though I have no specific time or day I show up). I've been coming here for years (when it was still Noah's Bagels). Their bagels, cream cheese and coffee are divine when all the stars aline. Then those other times the bagels are too small or too burnt or the cream cheese is melted or not enough or the coffee is too strong or too weak, etc. I've seen it all. I've experienced the long lines practically out the door only to have my bagel gone :( I've had people sit in my seat :P I've been known to wipe down my own table and been grossed out by the dirty carpet and/or bathrooms and so on. Despite anything potentially negative, I keep coming back. Why? The employees, the regulars and the environment. The employees are beyond lovely even when they are having a bad day or dealing with difficult customers. They let me go in front of indecisive people (thank you). Sometimes they have my order ready before I even order. For example, last week I walked in and started talking to Ed (a fellow regular). Miranda (an employee) then brought my food and cup for coffee, took my card to ring it up, then brought it back. It was the sweetest thing! Similar moments happen often. I can't say enough good things about the people. They are exceptional! The environment is also perfect for me. I get a lot of work done when I'm not socializing lol read more

Walked in....place was totally dead (a rare occurrence here). Thought i would be in and out quick because of it. At least 3 employees working up front, might have been 4. No greeting. One made eye contact. None said ANYTHING. And after 5 minutes standing at the order register i simply left. Unreal. read more
