Decent for a bagel and cream cheese. Breakfast sandwich? I'd pass for next time though. It wasn't bad, just nothing special. This location is in the heart of downtown Naperville and even at 830am it was extremely crowded. There's about 15-20 indoor seats, which I personally think there could be more seating options to utilize how big the space is. Service was fairly quick. My group stood in line for a good 15 mins bc of how busy they were. Took about 5 minutes to get our food after ordering though. I personally think it's better to keep it simple from here - get a dozen bagels and a couple of shmears and call it a day. read more

For a chain, they really do have good bagels and a lot of flavor options from which to choose. Their rewards program is great and gives a lot of perks such as $9 baker's dozen Mondays some months. They also have a nice selection of bagel sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. The staff is friendly and the service is usually quick and efficient! read more

The Naperville Einstein Bros gets a big A+ from me. Service is always top notch and food is always fresh and delicious. What more could you ask for? The store is always clean and staff is always friendly. Seriously, why go anywhere else? read more

What a selection of bagels. Very nice service and helpful with promotions. The two spreads are surprisingly good.

This location constantly gets the order wrong. Today, I ordered three bagels with smear and one with no smear. All came with no smear. This was a mobile order and I quickly ran in to pickup. I love the bagels, but this business gets one more chance. That's it. read more

We used to go to this location almost weekly. It has been a while and we stopped by last weekend. It will be a while again. Service was not kind and when we were given duplicate of some our order we alerted the service person and she rolled her eyes. The bagel sandwiches were dry and bland. Stacked up tables and an open area that had nice was a busy seating section tells it all. read more

Really solid bagels and excellent service! We ordered the Everything bagel with Onion & Chive cream cheese shmear and it was very delicious. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our bagel was perfectly toasted, and the combination with the onion & chive cream cheese was amazing. The indoor seating is ample, and the service was very quick. This place is ideal for a quick bite on the go; we'll definitely be returning for more delicious bagels! read more

I had the Chorizo sunrise it was so delicious, the service was good but the waiting time was a bit long so it was good that I really liked my bagel sandwich so I will definitely go back! read more

Editing to say that I got a very quick response from the company, and a full refund for my order. I appreciate that, and am adding a star to my original review. I wanted to mark this lower, but the staff was so friendly and helpful, I had to give an extra star just for them. My sandwich, on the other hand (bacon, cheddar, egg on a cheesy hashbrown bagel), not so great. The ingredients were fresh, and would have garnered 5 stars, but there was pepper on EVERYTHING! Pepper on the egg, in the egg, under the egg - I do not like this much pepper, Sam I am!! Cheesy Hashbrown Bagel - hello!! Should be delicious, right? Wrong! Big, crunchy pepper all over. If you like pepper, order this sandwich. As for me, next time I'll get something sweet with a spread. read more

Been coming here every Saturday morning with the family for the past year. Great food and lovely staff. Will continue to come!

I waited for 15 minutes for a single toasted plain bagel with butter. I watched people who ordered after me receive smoothies, bagels, large orders. The woman who took my order completely ignored me, but didn't hesitate to check up on other people. When I finally got my food, I didn't get an apology or any acknowledgment that it took that long for a single plain bagel. I love Einstein's, but this location was awful and I will not be coming back here. read more

I had the Nova Lox on an Everything bagel. The sandwich was fresh, well prepared and delicious. 5 Stars for the food! The service was ok. The order line moved from one side of the long counter to the other. Everyone was lining up on the wrong side of the long counter and figuring it out on their own. There was no signage or instructions from the cashier. The latte machine was broken so I had a regular coffee instead. Lost revenue for the store though! Overall, I would give service 2.5 Stars. Ambiance is not what it once was! This was a great spot to sit, visit, and enjoy the food and ambiance. At least a year ago, the tables were removed and this store was take-out only with large, empty, dingy looking open spaces. They have now added some tables and chairs to one side of the store but they are utilitarian and not very inviting. So, for ambiance, I would give 2 stars which is really too bad and one reason why I will not frequent this store very often going forward. Overall, this store earned 3.16 stars today in my opinion. read more

I only first tried this place at the very end of my senior year (at the college nearby) and I got a bagel here almost every morning after that until the semester was over. I wish there was one more nearby. Please come to Plainfield! read more

This location was a staple from my childhood. As an adult I only visit occasionally despite working in the neighborhood. The service is hit or miss--never consistent. I do enjoy the coffee and twice baked hash brown. read more

Well, the Bagels are still great but all the seating is removed from the restaurant which leaves vast dirty vacant floors with 6 Frayed dirty vinyl benches against a wall to sit on. I asked the manager, she said "Coperate took away the seating and decided to focus on Web orders, there is more money in web order." Well la de da! So, Don't bother driving here, or walking, as i did. Stay home and order on the web. read more

Food quality was so disappointing and a sin to even look at. $50.00 addition to the garbage disposal.

Great customer service Great personalities Great food Great location Really, really nice people, class and style all the way!!! read more

They just give out food to anyone .My girlfriend went in to pick up an order that she had placed 10 minutes ago, turns out THE WORKERS gave the food to another person WITHOUT CHECKING the persons confirmation order number . I'm Mexican and the people working there are Mexican too, but they treat you less if you're not CAUCASIAN. The attitude given was NOT professional. read more

There is as guacamole in my cream cheese bagel it's awful food =death which is bad so not recommend

I guess I'm old school, but I'm a bagel and coffee person...ha ha. I frequently swing by this Einstein's in Downtown Napervillle, and also utilize it for catering lunch for my clients. However, when I go with hubs/kiddies, here is what we ALWAYS GET: -Me: Lox on Sesame Bagel,minus the onion, reducedfat cream cheese, and extra capers and a medium coffee (I always try their season flavors) -My hubs: Turkey Sausage egg bagel, hot coffee -My 12 yr old dude: Geez, can't predict , ha ha! -My 9 yr old dudette: Chocolate coffee cake and fruit cup, water -My 6 year old daughter: Chocolate coffee cake and Apple Cider This space is enormous. Street parking ok, unless you go at 9 am on a weekday morning! Try it out! They have been improving their free app and not too many glitches these days. Love this place. You can breathe here! And not too many hangries!!! read more

Einstein Brothers has become one of my favorites when I'm looking for a good Nova Lox bagel or a good muffin or pastry. I love the option to be able to order ahead through their app and each time get rewarded a free coffee. It's also nice to know you have curbside pickup as an option if you're ever trying to avoid the crowd. read more

soooo this morning i placed an order and when i picked up the order it was correct on the receipt but not the actual order instead of the female employee correcting the issue she decided to debate the order with that being said customer service training would greatly be recommended for staff not sure if this location is a franchise but i will definitely not be returning read more

I ordered through the app for pick up and for some odd reason it sent it to the glen ellyn location. I called that location they weren't able to help me figure out how to cancel it. I called this location and spoke with a very sweet gentleman! I work next door so i came in and showed him my order and he made it right away. He was very nice and understanding! exactly why i love this location. Service is excellent and they work very fast. Also food is very yummy. read more

Great bagels and fast service! Team was engaged and super friendly! I get it that it's not the same as it was before with the seating but for this first time customer it was a home run! read more

On a Sunday morning, when the craving for a good bagel with cream cheese was intense, Einstein's Bagels came to the rescue! We ordered a half-dozen bagels to go with a tub of veggie spread, as well as an iced mocha coffee. Upon arriving home, we toasted their bagels before serving. Their jalapeno cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese is perfectly flavored and hits just the right spot! Their sesame seed and everything bagels are great options as well. The coffee was tasty and complemented the bagels nicely. Overall, the experience was good and I'll return in the future - the prices are somewhat high though. If you are a member of their rewards program on the app, there are some perks to earning points when you purchase, so that is somewhat of a bonus. read more

We've been loyal customers for years and years at this location. It was a Saturday morning breakfast staple. Understand why seating was eliminated during Covid, but stopping in to grab and go now just isn't the same... or worth traveling in for. Especially since dining area sits dirty, shabby and vacant while you struggle to balance your coffee and bagel on a park bench outside in the elements. If new business model is only take away, I wish they'd free up this prime downtown real estate for another sit down business to occupy. Bagels still great, but only freshest if you're there first thing. read more

Bagels are always fresh and delicious. Usually a busy location but parking is easy to find. Bummer they have closed indoor seating because I like to go with the little ones in the morning. Hoping they'll reopen it soon! Staff is always friendly though and even when it's busy you get in and out quickly! read more

Waited 15 mins for a bagel & cream cheese but got home and they forgot to put the cream cheese on the bagel :(

I ordered curbside pickup today, and arrived at the store at the appointed time, and called to let them know I am on site. No answer after three tries, so I go in. They let me know that there is a table for curbside, next to GrubHub and DoorDash. They told me they get too busy to answer the phone. Clearly they view the pandemic changes to be temporary. If you are trying to mitigate contact, this is not the restaurant for you. Good was great, btw. read more

I tried using my gift card and none of the employees knew how to work it and I was not able to use my gift card. I have tried contacting customer service and they have never responded to me. I sent three emails and no response yet so how are we supposed to use this gift cards? If you don't even let us put them in our own account. read more

The food is great but the workers sucked they didn't see us then we order and the person after me got the roster bagels before I got my three plain ones the atmosphere was OK but I am still frustrated by the customer service. So read more

I took my visiting family on a Saturday for bagels and coffee. No seating with tables pushed in corner with chairs stacked. It was dirty and they were out of almost all flavors of bagels. People standing everywhere waiting for their orders. Super disappointing from what it used to be. I loved taking my kids there when they were young. I emailed corporate and their response two weeks later was that the removal of tables was "in order to quickly deliver the best food experience." I'm not sure their customers would agree. It would be great to have a bagel store in downtown where one can sit and enjoy a bite with coffee, Einstein's just isn't it. read more

Definitely go for their Monday deal! I've been to other Einstein Brothers bagels places and the bagels were not so big. I like the way they do their bagels better than most other bagel places or grocery stores...thick, chewy, stays fresh for several days. read more

Wow. What the hell is going on in this place? Confused ordering process, staff that was out of it and/or rude, bizarre seating arrangements...this place is a mess! It's been a long time since I was last here, mostly because if you get here after like 7 am there were never any plain bagels, and since that was the choice for my usual companions it just led to frustration. At least this time when I got here a bit after 9 on a week day there were plenty of plain...but not a lot of anything else. I don't know about you, but this seems early to me to be wiped out of stock, considering the fact that they are open til 5 pm? I have to assume at some point they will restock, but who knows when that is, or what they will be refilling. Sigh. I tried to navigate my order with the first clerk, who was practically inaudible in the loud place. I asked a question about a couple of the cream cheeses (garlic herb vs. garlic veggie), but it quickly became obvious that this would be a big production so I just ordered the plain. Then you're shipped down to the other end to pay, which was rushed though there was no one else waiting (and sorry, but it's cold out and I have my gloves, not to mention a drink plus an extra to-go bag teetering on this tiny basket, so excuse me). Also, if you have to ask for something else later it's treated like a major inconvenience. The seating is really weird, which I think can be attributed to patrons pulling tables around into groups to suit their needs and not putting them back. Assorted groups were gathered for whatever purpose, I don't know or care, all of them darting suspicious glances at me as I walked over to find a table (wtf? Maybe because I'm not a senior citizen, which seemed the general age of everyone parked in the dining area). As it was, I ended up sitting at a small table near a crowd suited for God's waiting room who were bitching about how their church driveway gets blocked when the ambulances go by for the hospital or some damn thing. (Hey, WWJD, douchebags.) Irritating enough dining experience, not to mention the fact that the floor was a mess. Overall, the only draw here is the bagels and cream cheese. Don't expect good service or ambiance at all. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that I won't be back soon. read more

Now I remember why I don't go to this location. They made my bagel sandwich wrong and I had to waste two hours to bring my bagel back to have them make it correctly which they should've done the first time. They were rude and one of the employees just threw the bagel bag at me and said here's your order. I don't recommend anyone go to this location! I wasn't even offered any concession for wasting two hours of my day just because somebody at this location did not want to make my bagel sandwich properly The way I ordered it. I would give this location zero stars if I could!!! read more

I waited a long time today to place my order without getting any help from the girl working behind the counter. She ignored us and refusing to help me or take my order. She instead took the orders of people who were in line behind us, so we chose to take our business elsewhere. read more

Great beagles and spreads. Good service good coffee and great specialty sandwiches........

Don't go here, You'd best have a clear schedule when visiting this location, because you'll be waiting 5-10 minutes before anyone is available to help you. Then an additional 15-20 if for anyone reason you want some type of bagel sandwich. Very poorly run and either mismanaged or understaffed. It appears as though they usually only have 1-2 people working any given morning. When it clearly takes at least 3 people to serve this busy Naperville area. I've been here 5 times in the last month and have had the same experience every time, such a shame. If you ever have the half hour to wait their products are actually pretty good. read more
