My entire Life I though, I did not like Beagles until I tasted yours I had tasted them before somewhere else and it was like meh!!! but yours delicious I'm defiantly recommending this place to family and friends Thank you. read more

I stopped by 2 days ago to grab breakfast. I ordered the bacon avocado and tomato egg white sandwich. After 10 min of waiting for my bagel, they asked me to choose a different bagel because they didn't have plain. I didn't receive my "bagel" until 25 min after I ordered it while other customers had been getting their orders delivered. I said "bagel" because when I opened my sandwich it was 3 pieces of egg white and a piece of tomato that looked like they just threw it in there, there was no bacon and it was the smallest bagel I've seen in my life. I used to stop here to grab a breakfast sandwich often before going to work, but I won't be coming here anymore, I'll look for another place that takes care of its customers better. read more

Waited months, gave it another shot, regretted it immediately. This used to be a warm, happy place that I actually had some great memories from. Now it's dirty, disorganized and the food & staff are subpar to say the least. There used to be groups of women that met here weekly, other families we would see regularly, and Ash & his staff made that little bagel shop magical. Walked in to all of the tables shoved together. They were dirty, and no real way to sit at any of them. Okay whatever. Go to order and five people blank stare at us, yes five, like zombies just staring at us not responding while we order. Not a WORD. My kids and I all looked at each other confused. So after we order the woman finally says you pay at the end. Okay, we know the drill so we move over. All five heads turn to watch us walk to the end of the counter. It was eerie and left me with questions. Are these people being held hostage? Zombies? Hypnotized by me? No, I think just wildly unenthusiastic. Finally we are rung up and I ask for a fountain drink. The girl says "oh". Stares at the counter for a solid minute, then hands me a cup. Allllright. I go to fill up my drink, no ice. I ask for ice, they say they don't refill it and I have to let them put ice in my cup. Lazy but alright. So I decide to just take a sip and wait for my food. Flat, like almost zero bubbles in it flat. I ask the girl and she informs me that's how soda is. I'm officially in the upside down. After about 20 mins and being the only order in there at the moment, I receive the food. Cool, so we retreat from the Soviet interior of the restaurant and go to the once charming patio. That too is filthy. We sit there in what's almost an eerie vibe and open our food. 2 bagels with cream cheese and a tasty turkey. 5 employees, 20 mins of waiting, and our order was entirely incorrect. Nothing was toasted, the bagels were wrong, and my tasty turkey was an Untoasted bagel, turkey, no veg, and about an inch of cream cheese. I was extremely confused as I asked for extra tomato, onion etc. My kids bagels with cream cheese both being blue & raisin, were smothered with herb cream cheese. So that was kind of gross. We decide to go inside and swap everything out for what our receipt even said we had ordered... and only one person was working (did the other four vanish??) and a small line had formed. As we walk back outside we go to return to the patio and deal with it, however there's a homeless man setting up to bathe himself there. We offered him our bizarre food and left. My advice to whoever owns this? The only way you'll save it is if you find Ash, and BEG the man back. Pay him whatever he needs bc he made a chain store feel like home. I won't be returning, and I know several dozen others who haven't been either. read more

Eh nothing special. I ordered the turkey avocado and it was literally just an expensive plain sandwich with bagel instead of bread that I could have easily made at home.. Actually, I could make a much tastier sandwich at home lol Maybe I'll try their lox bagel next time and give this place a second chance. read more

I feel like this place doesn't even try. It's truly shocking. I've ordered here a few times via phone app and EVERYTIMEEEEE they mess it up. Not even honest mistakes like pure not caring. Today I ordered 4 bagels. 2 everything w/cc and chocolate chip w/cc and plain butter. Got two everything and two plain all w/cc. You got half right guess that's better than none. None of them toasted and like a small slap of cc in the middle. By the looks of the other comments sounds like the owner/management need to get it together. Only reason I order here is cause of the app makes it simple and fast. No doing it anymore. Insanity. read more

Unbelievably mediocre. Turkey (if you could call it that) bacon (the pre-cooked kind that you're supposed to heat up but they didn't) and avocado (I couldn't tell if was on there or not) is the sandwich we ordered. The lettuce was brown and wilted and they put about a half of a tomato on it. Typically I would have them make a new one but with the ambivalent staff I'm sure it would have come out the same. read more

Great bagel but a little but on the cold side on customer service. Packed our stuff says someone will ring you up and that's it. No have a nice day or thank you come again. Nothing. Just pack and go kind of business. read more

this is the third time they got my order wrong. besides being dirty the crew looks like they just woke up and were never trained.

I left a review 7 months ago about sadly terrible our experience was at this particular location. A manager asked to give them another chance and let them know how they are doing. We decided to go back last Sunday around noon. There were probably over a half a dozen employees working behind the counter so we figured fast service. A young man took my for eat-in order which was pretty straight forward. We pick up the order and here we go. Only the bagel for the hot bagel sandwich was toasted but made with the wrong kind of bagel! My vegge out on jalapeño cheddar bagel was not only toasted but also made with a plain bagel!! My two other bagels were not toasted and cold! The shmears were wrong. I hate to send food back but in this case I had to say something since this was another mishap happening after we were asked to come back for another chance!!! The first biggest problem with this place I have figured out is that nobody pays attention when taking orders! The second biggest problem is that they don't repeat the order before they send to pay for it!! So they screw up and if you don't have the time to ask them to correct it then you're stuck with it!! The food turned out not what we had ordered obviously and the experience was ruined because I truly hoped they had redeemed themselves! The ambience was the same as before, nothing special. So I think we have decided to red ink this location altogether and just keep going back to our bagel shop in Carlsbad. I noticed three other friends left the same disappointing reviews based on their experience as well. I'm sad because as a Jewish New Yorker, we really care about our bagels. Einstein's makes really good bagels but it's time to let go... Einstein's bagels please improve the service and train your staff way better. Teach them to pay attention and repeat the orders they take. It doesn't take much time. Your reputation is at stake!! Farewell.... read more

Service is very bad.I ordered for a plain bagel with cream cheese and it took 15 minutes to prepare.then I ordered for iced mocha that taste bad and the lady put too much ice that my drink is gone after 2 sips. read more

Terrible customer service. Placed an order, got charged and 30min later still no Bagel. Even though they saw me standing for 30min they never bothered to look into what I was waiting for. Their excuse was they have no control over the system. They lost my order and their excuse was "they have no control over the system". read more

I've seen some improvement from my last review. Thank you for listening. The staff is more attentive and seem happier.

Amazing company who cares about their employees and customers, we will definitely be back to try this place again!

The service is always terrible, but today it managed to be worse. I went to pick up an order for a friend and got there at the exact time it said it would be ready, I got there and asked for the order and the woman said that the order had not yet appeared in the system that when the order came they would do. Ok, I waited for another 10 minutes and nothing, 15 minutes passed so I decided to ask someone else about the order, that's when she said that the order had been ready for a long time and I had seen the order on the counter since when I arrived. so I went to talk with the colored haired woman who works there about what happened and she was super rude. I don't know where you hire these people but you must train these people to do simple and decent work. Bad experience with everything and especially with the people who work there. read more

The cheese bagel was really fresh as well as the produce on my turkey bagel. It was a good portion size and very filling. It didn't have a tomato on it which would have made it even better. read more

Bagels here are so good! Came in for a breakfast bagel and iced tea to get fortified during a marathon holiday shopping session. But after seeing their beautiful display case of bagels, I could not resist ordering a half dozen bagels and shmear to go. Blueberry, cinnamon raisin, chocolate chip, Asiago cheese, Everything, Cinnamon sugar and a tub of Honey Almond shmear. Perfect day after Christmas morning treat! read more

9:15 on a Saturday morning. The place is packed and there are 3 lines. Apparently, you order at one before waiting to be called to Pay at the next. Then you get into another line, surrounded by tables and patrons eating and waiting for their food. Horrible layout and very inefficient way of doing things. Next time, I'll buy the bagels at Costco, or down at Starbucks to avoid the chaos. Long and awkward wait for mediocre bagels. (**edited to One star because their patrons will attack you based on your experience at their locations.. interesting when some only have 1 review... the bagel shop...** read more

Came in this morning with my mom and we got the spinach and the green chili bagel. We're kinda new to this place and you guys don't disappoint. The food is bomb and the staff full of ladies this morning were so sweet. Keep up the good work! read more

I decided I wanted a good bagel, and I knew I could get one here. In the past someone has brought me a bagel from here, but this was my first time to actually go in and order. I figured it was noon and that the morning crowd would be little if any. Well, I don't know if it was because it was the weekend, but a line of people were in front and me and soon to be the same after I got in line. People were already seated at the tables, but plenty more still available. Yes, there is a wide variety to choose from, so I was glad it was a long line because it gave me some time to select. There were a lot of baskets empty in the display but still enough yummy ones to choose from. I decided on the Nova Lox on a non-toasted bagel. I also ordered a Iced,Oregon Chai Tea. Both orders were delicious. I ordered my bagel to go, so it came in a flat, rectangular box, and was placed opened in the box. I was on my happy way awaiting to chomp on my bagel. In the meantime, the line was only getting longer. The staff had the lines moving steadily, as long as the customers knew what they wanted. I was surprised and thankful for the plentiful seating available inside. Although I decided to take my sandwich to go, I know that there will be ample seating for the next time I crave a good bagel. read more

Super friendly (manager?) Ash was so pleasant taking my order. He checked on me while I was eating too it too. Excellent customer service. I saw him get right on top of coffee refills too when prompted. All before 8am. That's impressive. Bagels are good and never run out! Love the lox and all the fixings. More fixings the better. Delicious nova lox sandwich on cheddar jalepeño toasted bagel. They have wifi too, but it's really slow. read more

Ok- you can't jack up Bagels... right? This rating is for the gal behind the counter..... If you do not like your job.... there are lots of other people that would love to have a job... that will smile! I stopped in to grab some bagels for the office. I wasn't really greeted... it was more like what do you want... I let the gal know I wanted a dozen if she could just mix it up. I let her know that separately I wanted a Jalapeno bagel and not in the box. She was asking me a question but, was standing behind a box that was on display on the counter... instead of moving her head to look at me and make eye contact... She didn't ask if I wanted my bagel cut and with some smear (if she had I would have said yes) Then I picked out 3 things of cream cheese, Jalapeno, veggie and plain. I sat them on the counter and she mumbles oh you want 3 cream cheeses... (how about saying- A dozen bagels comes with 2 cream cheeses - would you like to buy the 3rd) I didn't understand what she was mumbling until I got in the car and realized. -Bagels a 5 star -Store cleanliness 5 star -store options 5 star -employee that just plain ole made me not want to come here again... 2 stars. Thank you- That's all! read more

Went into Einstein Bagels this morning after my walk , just wanted to say that their customer service was top notch, I was served with kindness and amazing attitudes, I can't say enough about this place, I even love introducing friends to Einstein esp using their app and points for freebies read more

This location is so frustratingly slow! I come here a lot before work because it's the only one and the food is pretty tasty but every time, they test my patience. Today, I even ordered ahead online and half an hour later, a plain bagel with an egg, cheese, and sausage wasn't ready. So I had the choice of having breakfast r being late to work so I walked out. Very disappointed... read more

Really happy with the current team at Einsteins. We come in here almost every week and have been really happy since Ashley has been managing the restaurant. The food is good and the vibe is friendly! Five stars! read more

I get Einstein's ever so often as one of the physicians bring them to the office. My fav is the chocolate chip bagel with low fat cream cheese schmear. Visited this place for the first time, and I was pretty impressed. Great customer service and a variety of menu items to select from. It was actually pretty busy during this visit. I chose my fav bagel and schmear and decided to try the Strawberry Mango smoothie ($2.99). I would have preferred my bagel a bit more toasty, but it was still de-lish. The smoothie was awesome!!! It's only offered for a limited time, so try it!!! Traffic could be challenging with all the busy shopping centers and restaurants in the area . There is ample seating inside and out. Props to Andy H. for the free bagel and schmear coupon!!! read more

i took my grandson to Einsteins today, even though we feel they are not up to the standards they used to be. We waited 45 minutes to get bagels with an egg and cheese. Twice they got the order wrong and it was the absolute lAST time i will go to this bagel shop. Very sad..... read more

We usually come in the afternoon so it's pretty empty but most of the bagels are almost sold out. The Lox bagel is so classic here and that's why I come here. I wish they could grill the onions but they don't have a grill and that's ok Bec that's my kinda thing.... We also get the bacon turkey avocado and add an egg to it. Super yum status! Bagels taste fresh even in the afternoon. Kinda wish stay open late but they close at 5 (well they are a bakery, so that's norm.) read more

Bagels are yum but nobody likes biting into char, turn the heat down when toasting... read more

I currently went to Einstein's bagels this morning on my way to work I am a local and have been going there for quite some time now this morning I went in there was this very sweet girl who's all by herself her coworker did not show up it was 6:30 in the morning and she had a full entire house of people waiting to be attending and she was just so kind to every single one of them and took the time out of her morning being so stressed out as she was to ask how everyone was to make sure that everyone's order was complete and that they were content she got me in and out of there pretty quickly regardless of being the only one there . Wish I would've caught her name but excellent service give it a five star definitely would go visit her. read more

The Oceanside store had it's issues for awhile, but as of this posting, things have turned around for the better!! The store has a new manager, and her name is Chanel, and she is top notch and a hard worker! She and her team together provide excellent customer service in all areas! The selection of bagels are now plentiful and the bins are full. The coffee pots have been replaced with new ones and the coffee is now fresh and steamy hot! The store is cleaner and well kept. The patio is now swept and maintained! All in all a great experience!! read more

This Einstein location is conveniently located in the same center as my closest major grocery store, so I find myself here more often than I'd like to admit. The bagels are average - about what you'd expect from a chain, as opposed to some other independent mom n' pop shops straight outta Jersey. The line is a bit confusing - you don't go to the first available register nearest the door, but instead you go all the way to the back wall, order at one register, and then proceed to the before-mentioned register to pay. Classic bagels are included in the sandwiches offered on the board, and specialty bagels cost extra. Last time I tried the egg, spinach, mushroom and Swiss bagel sandwich, which I would not recommend. The flavors were just too rich for a breakfast sandwich, and the egg was spongy and strange. Their coffee drinks are incredibly sweet, so be forewarned to ask them to adjust the syrups accordingly if you are sugar-sensitive like I am. Overall, a decent place to grab a Baker's Dozen for the office, or enjoy a tasty bagel and cream cheese on a Saturday morning. read more

The bagel I got from here was very good. It was made in a timely manner and was worth its cost. I got the smoked salmon bagel which I really liked. read more

Oh Yes!!! I could not wait to get back to Einstein Bros Bagels when returning to Oceanside. My favorite bagel place thus far! Aside from their amazing selection of bagels, the sandwich options are great too. I love the turkey sausage and cheddar with egg on a sesame bagel. I always have to opt for a second egg because can you ever have too many eggs?!?! The flavored iced teas and coffees are always fresh. Staff and manager are always very pleasant. Very clean facility. Be prepared to wait in line. I have never been there when they are not busy, but it is definitely worth the wait. read more

Been coming here for years, Ash and the crew are always efficient and friendly. The everything bagels go quick so if you are a fan, come earlier in the day for them! read more

Juliann is a very wonderful person to have taking my order! Thanks for being so kind :)

The food and the service was good. Place is clean. I highly recommended this place to my friend and family and they all loved it.

The service was fine, however I immediately noticed an insect crawling on the bagels in the basket. Then when I received my order, the bagels we were given were literally the size of a snack size bagel. The bagels we got were ridiculously small, which is incredibly frustrating considering we paid 7 dollars for one bagel. read more

They constantly mess up a bacon egg order when ordered with two eggs. Open it up and look at it 100% of the time.

In NorCal, AKA Noah. Menu is different :-(. My dad lives close by. Every visit we stop here for my road trip up to NorCal. This location is right off 76 (pretty sure) in a strip mall. I love the SanteFe bagel, Noah in NorCal doesn't have it on the menu. Good customer service. Call 'em all Einsteins & have the same menu! read more

Fresh bagels and Speedy Service! My fav: Pretzel Bagel with ham and cheese please! This morning I grabbed a Vanilla Latte The customer service was great and no lines for me!!! The bagels are soft and freshly baked. The main lobby area was clean and there was plenty of seating. Tons of Bagels to choose from!!!! Don't stand there too long you may want one of each haha! I have also stopped in here to get a variety of bagels and fresh coffee for my office staff. Great prices overall wish they had more of these around! read more
