Avocado toast on a garlic bagel with a cinnamon spice tea. Delicious

I just wanted to take a second to rave about this location. I work at university hospital and live within walking distance from this Einstein's bagel shop so I come here on a regular basis. I have consistently had great service and everyone has always been so friendly and helpful. I love coming here!

This is a fairly new location for Einstein but, I am surprised it wasn't on YELP!, yet. Anyway, being new, the decor is very fresh. The interior design is quite nice, large, open, spacious, tons of seating, and a GREAT location. The strip mall it is located in is pretty cool, with other neat stores. So, it's a great place to grab a bkfst or lunch bagel if visiting Lake Mendota, or shopping in the area. Free wi-fi is always nice, too. I had a breakfast bagel sandwich, on pumpernickel...and it was quite good. I'm not sure how they whip/cook their eggs but, there is something different about them. Odd. Not unpleasant, I do like them, just, the texture is different. Had a latte, and that was well made. Not some generic machine like you see at a lot of other places. hint: if you do Google street view, it shows the old Mexican taco place that used to be there..this is A LOT better! However, Google maps does correctly list the business address and location as Einstein

Every Einstein Bagels is the same. They barely put any smear on your bagel. That's the essence of ordering a bagel.

Gotham bagels is THEEE spot to get a bagel in Madison. No where else compares…read more On a weekend, be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes as they have a large influx of customers. I would also recommend taking it to go on a weekend because it's hard to find seating. They are still super fast, friendly, and helpful despite the overwhelming amount of people! On a weekday you can appreciate the New York-esque decor and vibe.

Bagel: 4.0 Toppings etc: -0.7…read morePrice: -0.8 Wait: -0.8 Founder's story: 0.5 Total Score: 2.2 I've seen alot of hype about this place on social media so randomly decided to give it a try while in Madison. The whole experience reminds me of the 1980s movie "The Experts" (the flick where John Travolta met his late wife). Basically this cold war era movie has a couple of dudes trying to run clubs in NYC get kidnaped by the KGB and sent to Russia where they have a whole town of KGB agents living like Americans - but it wasn't quite right..it was like 30 years earlier in a random town in the Midwest (much like Madison, Wisconsin). That's the best way to describe it. Some of the vibe was there, but there was just something off about it. First thing that was a shock - the price! egg & cheese bagel: $9.00 . For reference, Bagel Boss on Long Island is just over $5.00. I get it - bagels are a scarcity in Madison Wisconsin (as is any decent food, but that's a different conversation) while it's a commodity in NYC metro area. I asked the woman why the sign for the menu shows $8.75 and she said they raised the prices. Well, any self-respecting yankee knows a bagel place should either have: 1) prices in different colors written on a black board, or 2) prices with the numbers and letters that can be changed on a board. Next, I was baffled by how long it took and how long i had to wait for bagels. That doesn't fly on the east coast. Look, I get alot of the university is kids from NYC metro area so you have to cater to them so a bagel shop is important. As for the bagels - looked okay at first, but the egg and cheese was really weird...it was mostly white with like an overcooked almost hard boiled yolk and i think they butter the bagels beforehand. Secondly for a scallion cream cheese bagel it showed the true shortcoming of the bagel where the exterior had a good crunch but the interior wasnt chewy it was too hard so when you try to separate the bagel it kinda of breaks. the taste isn't quite right. Anyway they deserve credit since the founder mentions Hot Bagels in Fairlawn in his story and met with Jaques Pepin who is awesome. I'll probably pass on returning as I kinda really dig Bagels Forever in Madison.
