Long established eatery secluded on Milwaukee Ave. in Lincolnshire. Clean, stocked and well organized. Manager blew me away with his personality. Bagel w/ lox and coffee was just what the doctor ordered. Highly recommended!!! read more

Interesting place for sure. The food was good. This is a very informal coffee bagel place. The staff certainly made the biggest impression but I'm not sure if it's good or bad. The conversation happening between the staff and may e the manager was... sitcoms worthy. Language is not a concern for them, they were colorful with their word choices. At times one of the workers broke into song, it sounded like gospel. It was in Spanish. I liked that part. The tables were not cleaned off when I arrived and their coffee area (you pour your own) was a mess. I liked this place bc it felt very down to earth but I also think they should clean more and probably watch their language. I will say that they were very friendly, so points there. read more

Stopped by for the 1st time to this EBB location. Ryan was great helping me with the egg sandwich selections. Friendly and appreciated the birthday wishes. Classic EBB decor, and all the bagel favorites. It did not disappoint! Thank you! read more

Yummy bagels and nice staff. Always clean and plenty of parking and tables and inside and outside.

I went there around 8:30 in the morning and the place was not busy at all! I ordered the farmhouse egg white sandwich! They cut the sandwich in half already, which was perfect for me to share! It was a huge sandwich and very tasty and the egg cooked just right! read more

I was drawn to this establishment because the rating isn't half bad and its Yelp page features an announcement that their new online ordering is "Your best breakfast in a click". What a joke. My online ordering experience today was a huge disappointment... and no real beef with the delivery guy (GrubHub) except he could have looked inside the bag to notice that the condiments listed on my order instructions were missing. I specifically requested but received no creamers, sugar, ketchup and cutlery. Not only did they miss the mark in that way, but judging by the taste of what food I did receive, I would have been better off ordering a McDonald's breakfast. The cherry on top is that the main breakfast item was entirely different from what was described in the menu on their website. Let's start there: my "Bagelrito" was supposed to be a filled breakfast burrito encased in an Asiago bagel - which I assume gets rolled super flat (based on the picture featured on the menu). However, there was nothing bagel-like or Asiago-like about the overly chewy bagelrito prepared for me. But I was hungry because by this time I had not yet eaten; it was 11:15am. It took two bites, and my hunger turned hangry because I was unable get pass the high sodium level. My tongue was stinging from all the salt. I had to throw it away or else face a bout with high blood pressure. I won't go into much detail about the other items I ordered (a bland hash brown cheesy thing that I threw out and a chewy half-eaten avocado toast), but just know that I was underwhelmed. I guess the silver lining would be that my earl grey tea was very good - despite the fact I had no sweetener. I attempted to call the restaurant twice between 11:30 am and 11:45 am to rectify the order, but no one answered and the answering service gives no option to leave a voicemail. I hope the business owner reads this review and takes steps to improve experiences for future customers. But I would not visit this establishment on my next visit to the Chi area. read more

Whoever runs this location should be fired! Every time i have been in there early or later they never have spinach florenttine and the on dundee always has them! I also noticed bagels are different and are soft now!! While Palatine location still has the same great bagels!! Hope someone takes over Lincolnshire location if not they really should close their doors., read more

The gentleman with the long brown hair and the red flannel was such a generous and kind man. He was extremely polite and friendly. He made sure the customers were prioritized. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

This is an update to a review already given. They did respond and apologized for the poor service and they said they'd look into it and asked to update my review and here it is. NO CHANGE! They still refuse to answer their phone making it impossible to place a custom norder or to check on availability. Store manager clearly doesn't care and management is too busy to see anything through as they promised. read more

Nice atmosphere, Good food! Sandwiches, excellent bagels! People should try it if they haven't.

I come here every other day the service is always so nice my food is always great just an really awesome place met the owner awesome person the entire staff is always so nice if you like bagels you'll like this place it definitely don't deserve some of the reviews it has great place love it! read more

Over the last year I've ordered bagels for breakfast here about twice a month. And without fail, they never get my order right. From putting the wrong schmear on the wrong bagel to completely forgetting items. Every time I say I will give them one more chance because it's owned by a single owner and I like to support my local businesses. However, today was the last time for me. I will drive to the one further going forward. Over the last year whenever I would go inside to order I would be in the store for at least 30 minutes just to get a bagel and cream cheese. So I started ordering it online and picking it up. Of course I check it before leaving since I know they are notorious for not getting it correct. Each time I asked them to correct their mistakes I get a complete attitude from the kids who work there, especially the owners daughter. As if I'm being completely out of line for asking them to give me the correct order. Now today when I told the owner to please call me if they are out of something or need to replace it and he told me absolutely not, they don't have time to call every time they're out of a bagel so we get what they give us and that's their policy. Sorry but nobody in my family eats wheat bagels so why the hell would I pay for it just because you never have enough bagels on a Sunday????? Never again. read more

I signed up for the app and got a free bagel with shmear. So I ordered ot today. I ordered a chocolate chip bagel for myself with plain shmear, an everything bagel with plain shmear for my boyfriend and 2 caramel cold brew coffees. They got my bagel wrong, instead of chocolate chip, they gave me cinnamon sugar. But the coffees were very good and the place was very clean and cute on the inside. We ordered ahead through the app so I can't speak on the service besides that they got my order wrong. read more

We enjoyed are time here, there was fast service and good food ! Wish there was a broader selection when it came to bagels, but I'm not sure if that was because we came at 9:30. There was a lack of seating in the restaurant, so I don't recommend coming to study. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back for more read more

Great bagels. Friendly, competent, staff. Plenty of parking. Very accessible. Reasonable cost.

Can I just say this place really has gone down hill since Covid. Don't know why but they have removed all the tables. Is it because you don't wanna clean? Staff really has gone down hill. The only one that was friends really was the blond one. I'm giving it two stars because I been long customer at this place. Overall the food is delicious. read more

I just moved to Lincolnshire, hoping to find a new bagel spot. I will never return to this Einstein bagel. This place is filthy. We intended to eat in but could not find a clean table. I then walked to grab a napkin, and the coffee area was sticky with dried smear marks on the napkin holders. The floors were completely covered in dust and crumbs. There were even fingerprints all over the glass. How can I trust that they maintain cleanliness behind the counter if they barely pay attention to the dining area? The uncleanliness left me without an appetite. I won't be dining here ever again. read more

Newly tried this location after our closer one closed down. Food was well prepared BUT they didn't deliver it curbside. It's an option in the app that I had selected. When I got there, not busy, only 1-2 other customers inside, but no one brought out the order. The app didn't have a check in option bc I ordered as a guest, but I'm literally parked in front of their window for 10 min at the signage. I also tried calling multiple times, but no one picked up. Taking it out would've taken them no more than 30 seconds. That said, the food was still good and that's what matters most. Just be prepared not to wear pajamas thinking curbside will actually work. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels in Lincolnshire, the food was fine. The server was OK but the restaurant is filthy. They're all lazy in there. They don't clean the tables and they don't care. There's no issues for this. The owner of this location should be ashamed of himself or corporate. It's no excuse for this make sure redo the door or close it down if they don't want to put money into the business read more

Food is seemingly the same as always (good! - no issues there) but the store is depressing with no indoor seating to fill the large space. Why hasn't any seating been restored since Covid? The store appearance really cheapens the Einstein brand. read more

This place deserves better than the 2.5 rating that it currently has. For everyone that has a bad experience--they should also remember to post a good experience. This place delivered on all fronts. Nothing to complain about. I was greeted with a smile 3 times. Great service. The Dine area was more spacious than the lake forest location that is now permanently closed. Was able to sit & relax and not get kicked out early like the millennials do at other places that always decide to close early. These ppl actually honor the hours that are posted on the door & online, read more

I ordered from here on UE, hoping that after several bad experiences with the Lake Forest location that this one would be better. My order arrived missing the hash brown, streusel was cold, and the bagel was missing the eggs that I paid extra for. read more

So sad that this place has gotten so bad!! From the terrible, rude service, to the dirty restaurant, to not having much of a selection to choose from....I will not be back! read more

No chocolate chip or cinnamon bagels on a Saturday morning. When I stated that was hard to believe they said someone earlier bought them all. Ok, lame excuse but ok. The manager then came out to tell me he felt I was overreacting to their deficiencies. Screw you buddy. Just spent $50 in your store and you want MY attitude adjusted?? Icing on cake, manager ran out to my car to give me the ordered bagels they forgot to put in with the rest of my order. Not going back, ever. Read Robert's answer/comments. Clearly you are once again missing the point these reviewers are making. read more

For good, delicious, and tasty bagels with a nice variety to choose from and also the good variety of shmears that they offer, Einstein Bros. Bagels is an excellent for your morning breakfast/ snack fix. They have good services. Prices of bagels vary based on what kind of bagels you buy. Meaning regular or gourmet kind. They have other items on the menu as well such as strudels and other baked sweet items. They also have a variety of beverages to choose from. I love E B B. My favorite bagels place. read more

This is a zero star review. Do not go to this location. Get your bagel somewhere else or drive to another location. The place is disgustingly filthy and covered in dust and debris. From the moment you walk up to the door, it's a film of dust because it's never been cleaned. Blond bitch behind the counter too. Worst customer service. Its your job to work behind the counter. If you can't be nice to customers why work there? I'll be reporting this location to the health department. Terrible!! Shut down and go away. read more

I just don't know what to say I have been coming here for many years but the service is just atrocious. You get no smile or any kind of civility. The workers are very hostile and exhibit passive aggressive behavior. When you do get served the incompetence is startling, I had to explain to a staff member what a bakers dozen is!!! You have got to be kidding me. The last two managers are long gone and they were nice. Even if you are the only customer in the store it seems like they really could not be bothered to serve you. Einstein's is in a terrific location but the quality of the staff is just abysmal. What a real shame! read more

Been coming to this location for over a year and the Nova Lox sandwich is becoming a bagel and cream cheese for $6.00. When my wife asked for more Lox they moved it around to make it look like more. Time to find another bagel place. read more

Perfect bagels and the coffee was fresh. Ordered extra bagels to eat the next day and they were equally delicious. Staff is friendly.

Great location. Easy parking. Great menu . Wonderful people work there. Egg sandwiches. Fresh made eggs and non of that yellow garbage they call cheese. Great toppings. Sandwiches are never sloppy. Great selection of Fresh Bagels. For a national chain they are the closest to authentic bagels. Of course NY Bagels & Bialeys original locations are the best. But Einsteins are very good. Fast food without te grease and yellow fake cheese. All they need added to their Menu is Fresh oatmeal. read more

Stopped in for a quick bagel-sandwhich after leaving my Dr's office, which is two doors down! Am so happy I did! This place is great! Large, clean, and plenty to offer. Not just bagels to go. You can get all kinds of different bagel sandwiches and stuff. Yay! CAn't wait to come back! The help was nice, and they got me in and out so fast! read more

I gave today this place a third try and was extremely for the third time dissapointed by the service , for the first few times I said ok maybe everyone's just having a bad day but after reading reviews , I'm not the only one . The kids were horsing around and not acting professional as you should (yelling at each other , sticking out their tounges and spitting on food ! ) . Kids are kids we understand but at the end of everything , the girl who was making my sandwich she came to the register and threw my sandwich on the counter (and not the first time it happened with her attitude ) , while the other worker came and nicely placed by husbands sandwich . I'm extremely dissapointed in this place of service !!! To the owner - get more serious because your going to loose your buissness . read more

Service was absolutely horrendous. I waited in line for 15 minutes while they helped everyone else. I stood at the end of the counter waiting to get rung up while they helped everyone else behind me. Food was expensive and wasn't filling. Will not be coming back. read more

Placed on line Order for five bagels and received three incorrect bagels. Another Time I waited five minutes without my presence being acknowledged by the two employees present..I had to leave. Another time my words were misinterpreted and the employee was very rude to me as a consequence of her misunderstanding me. Overpriced too. read more

I had a lacrosse tournament near this restaurant and it was amazing. The employees were very nice and really brightened the mood. I went here twice and both times I got different sandwiches. Both were very delicious. read more

Come here all the time. Weekly bagel run. Staff is always friendly and speedy. I like their specialty coffee drinks. See you guys next week!! read more

Great friendly staff, but location is difficult to get to when coming southbound on Milwaukee. They have plenty of your typical bagel options and the shmeers are pretty good as well. I wish they had some more options on spreads, as I can get plain and strawberry anywhere. How about hazelnut, veggie,etc? We would frequent this place more often, but its a bit far from the house. read more

The one star is for the only positive person we encountered, Chris. We ordered bagels on Thursday 9/24/20 by phone for pick up at 12:30 pm on Monday 9/28/20. When we got to the store, we were told they did not have our order but it would be ready in 45 minutes. Chris was very nice and took care of the situation. I waited in the store, which was not busy at the time. Unfortunately, when we went to serve the bagels at 5:30, we noticed the bagels were very inconsistent. Some of the bagels were not proofed enough and did not even have a hole in the middle; some were undercooked; the asiago bagels were under-cheesed, etc. We called today (9/29/20) and the person who answered the phone (and said he was a manager), Oscar, yelled at us on the phone and defended his store by saying the following: 1. The bagels are not constant based on who is making them 2. We never have any problems (very arrogant) 3. You are trying to get something for free 4. Your bagels were here the entire time (why would I have been told to wait 45 minutes for the bagels, if this were true) Oscar was very confrontational and rude. I am sure this is not the way you want your store or products portrayed. I am especially insulted that he would accuse us of trying to get something for free and, quite frankly, will let everyone I know how BAD the experience was. BTW, I had recommended you to a friend, who also ordered ahead of time, but was missing 4 bagels. She ordered 13 and got 9. With so many people out of work, it may behoove your company to replace Oscar with someone that really wants a job and knows how to deal with the public. read more

Super. Great crew,friendly and always gets our order right. Coffee hot. Egg sandwiches are excellent. Bagels good for a national chain. Not mushy rolls but a bagel. Wish they offered oat meal. Great place for your morning coffee or lunch read more
