    Jalapeno cheddar
    Claribel V.

    This was my first time trying Einstein Bagels, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment. I've had a lot of good bagels before, so I went in with high expectations, but it just didn't hit. The bagel wasn't thick or chewy and it didn't really have that classic bagel texture at all. I tried the jalapeño cheddar with cream cheese. I couldn't really taste much cheese, but there were big pieces of jalapeño, which I did like. The bagel itself tasted kind of stale. I also thought it was a bit overpriced compared to other bagel spots I've been to. They group their bagels into "classic," "signature," and "gourmet," and the signature and gourmet ones cost more. My jalapeño cheddar was considered gourmet and was about a dollar extra. I've never been to a bagel shop that does that, and it honestly felt like a bit of a rip-off.

    Farmhouse Egg Sandwich
    Erik G.

    I've been wanting to try Einstein Bros. Bagels for a while, but there wasn't a location near me until recently. It's great to have a bagel and coffee shop in MPK. Since they opened, there have been long lines every time I've tried to go, which had me hesitant until now. This time, I decided to order through the app. I still had to wait a bit, but the young African-American lady behind the counter was very attentive and helpful when I asked about my order. As with most chains, I looked at their top-rated breakfast sandwiches and chose the Farmhouse Egg Sandwich, as I love Country Gravy, and the Country Gravy Schmear sounded interesting. I agree with another reviewer who complained about false advertising. I'm also guilty of believing the sandwich would look like the picture. They need to give their photographers a raise for making the sandwiches look so good. Let's be real, it was probably AI. The sandwich was okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. It was a bit salty, which is to be expected. My biggest complaint is the lack of schmear. Any bagel lover will tell you that a bagel shop needs to get the schmear ratio right. I'm willing to give Einstein Bros. Bagels another try, but I'll probably stick to bagels with different schmears next time and avoid the breakfast sandwiches.

    Stopped by to try this spot last week, given my husband recommend it when he saw it weeks ago. I ordered the Texas Brisquet and an iced caramel cream coffee to go. Service was good and received my order quickly. Sandwich was pretty good and had good flavor, but it was mediocre for the price. The coffee was not good. Tasted too watered down. I couldn't finish it. Bagels was worth the try though.

    My mom and I shared a bagel sandwich and the halves were enough to get us full. Really long line, tons of people inside, I think you can order ahead for pick up, despite the crowds the staff did a wonderful job managing orders and keeping the line moving. There is seating inside and we were able to find a table to sit and eat.

    Located in the plaza with Ralphs on the corner of S Atlantic Blvd & W Riggin St. First time being at any Einstein Bros and it did not disappoint. We arrived around 10am on a Friday, line was almost out the door with about 10-12 people ahead which was a little discouraging. Luckily line moved quickly and the wait for your order wasn't bad at all. I waited about 4-6 minutes for my order to be called. Ordering ahead seems quite popular, you can pick up your online order near the entrance against the wall. They have a designated pick up shelf. Twice Baked Hash Brown -I personally didn't like it. It was way too dry for my liking. It was almost like balling up really dry mash potato add a little bit of cheese over top and baking it in the oven.. Maybe it would work well if you added your own gravy to it or something. Oktoberfest (New)- pretzel bagel itself was quite hard and really dense. Beer cheese shmear is almost like a thick nacho cheese. Pretzel salt on the bagel with the beer cheese shmear paired together was way too salty. Mustard added a nice tang but not enough to off balance the saltiness. Chorizo Sunrise -avocados weren't as ripe as I prefer, it was a little more tough and chewy than creamy. Everything paired well. Bagel itself was amazing; fluffy but perfect density of a bagel with a slight chew. Texas Brisket -everything paired well, nice hearty sandwich for a busy morning. Brisket was tender with just the right amount of smokiness. The jalapeños on Cheddar Jalapeno bagel was surprisingly spicy with a kick which I personally prefer. Bacon, Avocado & Tomato -perfect for your BLT lovers. Simple but so good. All Nighter -bacon lover's perfect bagel sandwich, the two slices of American made it super cheesy as well. Santa Fe Egg White - so good, Jalapeño Salsa Cream Cheese Shmear was the star of the sandwich. Sandwich was pretty light perfect for those who need something for breakfast but doesn't want anything too heavy. Maplehouse Egg Sandwich -surprisingly not over powering sweet. Maple French Toast bagel sounded so odd but paired well.

    On a Sunday morning in early September, my sister and I went there to redeem bogo breakfast bagel sandwiches at 6:30am. It's next to Jamba Juice and Ralph's. We were only people. The staff was nice and friendly in the morning. Plenty of bagels in the glass counter. I didn't wait too long for our bagel sandwiches, The egg bacon bagel sandwich tastes really good. I forgot to take a photo of sandwiches. Plenty of parking. Lots of workers there at 7am, Sign up for the app to collect points.

    Picked up a dozen bagels on Thursday at 9am. There's still a long line and I would have ordered online but you can't customize all the bagels and they were out of a lot of options. I'm happy there's a new bagel place, open early and in the area! Hopefully once people get used to the menu the lines will go faster. Unfortunately they were out of regular cream cheese and the honey almond cream cheese. I didn't find out until I was the front of the line, so had to scramble to change my order and not get any sweet bagels. Maybe that's why the line was moving so slowly....

    Pizza Bagel Pepperoni
    Jess B.

    Stopped by Einstein Bagels for a quick bite. The line was long, and the staff weren't really friendly. They were probably overwhelmed because there was a huge crowd, but still not the best customer experience. The biggest downside was the wait. It took about 20 minutes to get two bagel sandwiches, which felt pretty long for a place that should be fast-casual. As for the food, it was just okay. My husband had the pizza bagel and I had the bacon, avocado, and tomato sandwich. Ingredients seemed fresh, but the eggs on mine were pretty bland. I was hoping for a bit more flavor overall. Not terrible, but not in a rush to go back.

    The bagels are always good here. It's good that they opened up this location! It's about 8 AM and the line is long, like 'out the door' long with probably 7 or 8 people. We waited about 10 mins before we ordered a half dozen mixed bagels. There were probably 6 people working behind the counter, all really busy doing their thing, so shout-out to their hard work. I'm not sure if you have to ask for the bagels to be warmed but ours were not. Thats fine, I'm not picky about that sort of thing. Next time I come I'll make it a point to ask. I had the everything bagels, garlicky and salty and soft, really good. My wife had the cranberry bagel and it was delicious. I also had their cold brew coffee, chocolate cream. My wife went with the cold brew caramel cream. They're both good, not overly sweet. We'll definitely be back for other items in the future, like the breakfast bagel sandwiches. I saw one guy making a pizza bagel and it looked freaking good!

    We wanted to try the new bagel spot that opened up in Monterey Park so we ordered ahead of time for pick up the next morning. The line was long when I got here at 7am but moved pretty quickly but the food I ordered wasn't ready even though we ordered ahead. I had to wait 25 min for the pick up order. I know the place is new and is still working out the kinks but if you want your food at a reasonable time, make sure you walk in to order. They seem to move faster if you order in person. The servers are nice and the food is good. Everyone was ordering take out. I got the brunch combo for 2 and that was a good deal if you want to share with someone. I also got the maple sandwich and garden avocado. The bagels were fresh and the smear was good.

    Ham swiss and egg
    Mercedes R.

    I was super excited to try this place since I love bagel sandwiches. It was pretty good. I had the ham, Swiss and egg on an everything bagel. I tried the cold brew coffee as well but wasn't too impressed. I'd go there again for the sandwiches but not the coffee.

    Driving on Atlantic Blvd I notice they were balloons and signs and an open sign say Einstein Bros Bagels open in Atlantic Square in Monterey Park. Final Einstein Bros Bagels open I have been wishing for a good bagel store close to my house and also a well name bagel shop. The only Einstein Bros Bagels store I have to travel is in Pasadena but now close I could and grab a bagel and cup of coffee or any of their items anytime I want to. When I came in were a long line out of the door but it went fast and quick.

    This is based on an online order, I get better bagels when I order in person than when I order online. I go to a different location and this was my first time at this location. I'm always there before my online order is ready. ....my bagel came out warm, not hot. I don't understand if it was just made, but I figure they had it sitting there before they put it all together. I'll give it another try in a couple of months

    Barely any avocado and egg

I have also enjoyed the Cloudy, which has subtle notes of red date and pear with a cream top. The drink was nicely balanced and not too sweet. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their coffee drinks, which have strong coffee notes. I also love their coffee cakes, which tend to sell out pretty quickly by midday.

I asked for a recommendation between drinks and they mentioned if I want a hot drink - Miso White would be good; for a cold drink - Lychee Tonic would be ideal. It was a hotter day, so I opted for the Lychee Tonic. Since it was busy, the wait was ~ 10 minutes for the drink. After giving it a try, it tasted refreshing but I didn't really get the lychee taste. Not the best first impression with the tonic. However, I'd still consider coming back considering their ambience. Also absolutely interested to try their pour over options! Parking is available in the back of the building. American Express is accepted here.

It's a wonderful spot to study as long as you get there early. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the drinks are consistently made fresh and served piping hot. There's also a solid variety of food options to choose from. I've had the chance to try a few items: the Dubai chocolate mochi (4/5), the breakfast burrito (4/5), and the breakfast sliders (5/5). The sliders are especially good--kind of like a stacked sandwich with egg, sauces, and jam that all come together really well. My go-to drink is the Bori Cano, which is my current seasonal favorite. It's a unique mix w cream top over an Americano, with barley tea on the bottom. It's perfect for keeping me going during long study sessions.

The Bori latte didn't have much honey flavor and a bit watery, but I liked the puff rice topping that made it unique. Kimchi Musubi croissant was flaky and flavorful, but I wish they added more kimchi since it was more like eating a spam croissant. Overall, I'm glad I came here early before I left Monterey Park. It was less crowded an hour after opening and I like their 90s rnb playlist. I even love their cute mascot sticker.

I noticed many items are labeled both in Spanish & English, which is admirable. This small business knows exactly the neighborhood they reside in, and they cater to the residents. The only thing I would change is moving this establishment closer to where I live! Kudos to Picaresca for being loud & proud about supporting human rights.

    #183 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. Picaresca is a cute little coffeeshop around the corner from my…read morefriend's house in east LA. She turned me onto their signature El Pino latte, which is made with chamomile, brown sugar, and rosemary. It tastes amazing with oat milk, so much so that I make it a point to stop by every time I visit my friend. I've always gotten my coffee to go here, but they do have a few tables inside and out. Service was friendly. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.
