Very slow service by a staff that really doesn't care. I ordered a bagel and coffee and the bagel took 10 minutes to slice and toast and all of the coffees are out. I don't know how this place is still in business read more

Einsteins is my favorite place for bagels in North Dallas. They're always fresh, not chewy and the variety is great. The cinnamon, plain and French toast bagels are my top choices. The strawberry, honey almond and pumpkin (seasonal) whipped shmears are wonderful. The applewood bacon and cheddar egg sandwich is a great breakfast choice! Staff is always friendly which is a plus! read more

Great food and service. Chris the manager is really nice and crazy gorgeous. This will be a regular stop for lunch. They always have the bagel I want. Most places never make enough everything bagels. Good job guys read more

The first time I've ever been to this specific Einstein Brothers location, but once again (like my experience at most all of their other stores) this location was sold out of poppy seed bagels and had an indifferent staff that treated customers as an inconvenience. There is only one Einstein's location I will ever patronize again and this one most definitely is not it. read more

I decided to treat myself to breakfast during the Covid-craziness that we're living in. I wish I'd picked a different place. This place was completely underwhelming. They seemed overstaffed, and no one was particularly friendly. I ordered a bagel and shmear. The available shmears weren't listed anywhere, so the bagelista listed them off to me quickly and monotonously. She wasn't really interested in me getting what I wanted, she just wanted to move me along. I also sensed an attitude from the girl at the register. The bagel would've tasted better if I'd had a better experience in the store. Why in the world would I ever go back here with so many other options? read more

I'm giving Einstein 5 stars. Let me tell you why... It's a bagel shop and their bagels are great. Being new to the area, this is the only great bagel place I have found in Plano. I have nothing to complain about regarding service. Kind & courteous what more could you want? I'm surprised at the low ratings others have given this place. If you want a fresh, yummy bagel this is the place to get one. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Sandwiches Near Me - Plano, Texas

I have been coming to this location as long as it has been open(many years). Through the years the management has changed sometimes good, sometimes bad. This location knows me and my order, are always friendly to me, and the bagels are great. Although I come here three or four times a week my rating has nothing to do with the bagels or typical service. This location does fluctuate service-wise depending on who is working. My review is to point out an excellent employee! Langston makes me wish I was back in the food service(or any service industry). He smiles at customers. He greets them and converses with those he knows and those he doesn't. Once there was a potential altercation and Langston stepped up to be the enforcer although in a non-threatening manner. I worked in food service from the time I was 14 and owned a catering company. Good food is important but your servers, line people and cashiers are the face of your business. I'm pretty sure anyone who frequents this place feel the same and I'm not one to openly criticize or praise very often but when appropriate - I speak up. I don't know Langston at all but after 42 years in a sales/engineering environment I can recognize the people I would want on my team. I hope all the employees at Einstein try to emulate Langston! read more

Normally a fan of Einstein Bagels - still am but was taken aback this morning. We had our normal fare of bagels and coffee. Decent food and the staff was friendly, no problem. Then went to the men's bathroom. These cheap bastards cannot replace a a broken toilet stall in their bathroom. The handicap stall has no privacy door whatsoever for our citizens. These owners deserve to be outed on this oversight! BBwolf! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Sandwiches Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is my review for this Einstein's only. I have one near my house in Murphy and it rocks. This one on the hand is horrible. Where to start?! First off it's Saturday morning and they are out of 5 different types of bagels! I had to keep going down the list to find something they actually had. Only to order, and then 10 minutes later be told, sorry we forgot we don't have that either. There about 10 people here waiting on their orders, they sell bagels, what's the wait!!!! Second, they are out of coffee, only have decaf, mind you these are things you find out AFTER you have already paid. They have no sugar in the RAW either, but I guess that doesn't matter because they have no coffee. Every table is dirty, but why stay, there's no coffee! Who in the heck is running this place!! read more

I've both dined in at this Einstein Bros location and ordered catering for a large group breakfast before, and have had positive experiences both times. Was with a group of about 7-8 people when we dined in and they forgot to include the potato salad with my signature sandwich order, but were very nice about giving it to me when I went up to the counter and asked for it. Catering order was quick and painless after paying online. Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - turkey bacon avocado signature sandwich + side potato salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Plano, Texas

Ordered Santa Fe sandwich. Very disappointed. Dry, tasteless. No condiments except mustard. Rude attendant. Never going back to this outfit.

no wifi! Get into the new millennium Einstein! Go down the street to Corner bakery. Much more pleasant atmospher, nice music and guess what? Wifi, how novel. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is ran by a bunch of women that have no idea what they are doing. This is the third time I've been in here and they NEVER have more than 3 flavors of bagels... by 10am. I said they are open til 3, why such little inventory and the girl snaps back at me and says 'were only open til 2pm'. That's still 4 hours left to work!!!! Even though google says 3pm. Einstein's used to be d good place to get bagels. You should only come here if you like blueberry or pumpernickel ‍ read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - She's the worst one here!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Plano, Texas

Stopped in on our travels. The building sits on the corner of a shopping plaza and has fairly limited parking. There was no wait and we ordered at counter then our bagels and coffee were ready in about 5 mins. I got the sweet cream cold brew which was ok nothing spectacular and the nova lox sandwich which was GREAT! The cost was 6.99 for sandwich and had lox, cream cheese, onions, tomatoes and capers. Very good! The service was about 4 star, the lady took our order but that was it. She was a bit cold and didn't go any further in ensuring we got our order as we wanted or gave any further options/suggestions or upgrades. Just blah read more

Walk in. Hi, I need a bakers dozen. Oh, we're really low on bagels so you need to go to a different store... How does that make sense? Wouldn't sell me a dozen bagels that they have in the store. Literally a store that is a bagel shop... so they can sell the bagels individually for more. What a joke. Not even a joke, a poorly run store. read more

Corporate seriously needs to do a secret shopper on this location on Sunday mornings. The management is horrible. He closed the order register and do we had to order and pay then hang around waiting. It took 30 minutes from our order time until our three bagels with a schmear were ready. That was three weeks ago. Today they were out of chocolate chip bagels, out of blueberry bagels and wanted to charge an extra 60¢ to put an apple cinnamon in our box. The girl said "is that ok"? My husband said "no". And continued to the payment register. He heard the girl tell the manager that the customer didn't want to pay extra. To which the manager Kid said ".well that's too bad". As my husband heard that, he reacted by slamming his schmear container era on the counter, said "that's too bad, asshole" and left. He went to the Independence store, where he was in and out of a busier store in less than five minutes. read more

I used to be a fan of Einstein Brothers Bagels, but I think this past visit will be my last. I never mistook Einstein for a real NY bagel place, but the selection of bagel places close to home are really limited. For any non NYers, if a place asks you if you want your bagel toasted, it's generally a sign to run for the nearest exit. You should *never* toast a bagel until it's almost stale... it's a last resort! On this last visit I noticed they redid their ordering process. You have to order at the counter when you first enter the line... but the menu and items are along the case past the computer. It makes no sense whatsoever. So after walking around to look at what was in stock for the day, we returned to the "Order Here" sign and placed our order. Then you pick up your order and pay at another register... I guess it's more efficient during busy times, but when it's slow it seems like a big pain. I went to pick up my buttered bagels and saw that there was about 1 teaspoon of spread on each. Now I really am not a fan of spread, especially when I order butter, but I remembered that for some reason a buttered bagel at Einstein is a spread bagel... but there's so little spread that you can barely see the few spots where it's actually on the bagel. I asked for more and they gave me some on the side. Now my bagels were decent, but my wife bit into hers and it was ice cold and hard. She took it up and said that she didn't want an old bagel left in the fridge. Instead of just giving her a new bagel and apologizing, the guy argued with her that it's normal for bagels to be hard and cold, below room temperature. Maybe she's just picky, but do you need to argue with the customer? Bah! All in all the tables weren't very clean... the bagels are ok when you get a fresh one, and the ordering process is horrible. read more

I set my google-talk status message to "Driving Around Until I Find Food" and left my office. Hoping something would jump out in front of my car and say eat me. Cause, frankly, nothing sounded good. Somehow I ended up at Einstein Bros Bagels. I can't say how their bagels are because I had a wrap sandwich, but.. I probably would have disagreed with Tom W. I am not a bread person to begin with... so if you even have dreams that I am going to eat one... you better damn well toast the living daylights out of the thing, and cover it in cream cheese (or pastrami and cheese). If bagels are just bagels, they are too doughy and dry to eat without some sort of heat and fat on them. I didn't have the issue that Tom had with where the menu was hanging, as they took my order in front of the menu. Granted the "order here" sign was still there, but I just walked right past it to see the menu and then they took my order from where I was standing. Sometimes you have to ignore signs. But with the sore neck I was nursing today, I didn't feel the need to exert the energy to have to chew my way thru a bagel sandwich. I ordered the California Chicken Wrap. It had herb cream cheese, chicken, and sprouts on it. Because of the dumb Tomato Scare of 2008, they offered to add cucumbers to my wrap instead. And, of course, I took off the lettuce due to my allergy. The wrap as a whole tasted ok. It really needed tomatoes and some sort of color. The entire wrap was either beige or green. BORING. Their kettle chips were good though. My biggest complaint was when I went back to the counter to buy a cookie. The guy took my cookie and put it in a bag and laid it on the counter by the cash register and then WALKED off. I stood there, for what felt like a good 5 minutes. One person was making some sort of frozen drink. The manager walked past me twice before she decided she needed to take my $1.29 for the cookie. I was tempted to just take it and walk out, but I just dont float that way. I dont even cheat on pogo.com games, much less steal a $1.29 cookie. read more

The Bagel Challenge: I have had some serious cravings for a bagel. Specifically, an Asiago bagel with regular cream cheese that is lightly toasted. So I have decided to check out all the bagel places where I live and conduct an experiment. The control: Asiago bagel with cream cheese Einstein's makes you order on one side and then pay at the other end. They get busy on Sunday mornings surprisingly though. When I ordered, you get the bagel already with cream cheese on the bagel. It goes in a paper to go sack. PRICE: The total for a Simply Apple Juice and the bagel was $5.50 They are very nice and friendly but unbearably slow. If you know you'll be busy in the mornings, please pick up the slack Einsteins. You don't want to make someone grumpy at the start of the day. read more

I really like Einstein Bagels and this location makes me sad. The register is at the far right and should be at the left and then have the patrons wait on the fair right. It confuses the customer and really interrupts the flow of the eatery. I hope corporate can come in and recognize the issue. Also more staffing in the kitchen area is needed. Took ten mins to receive a sandwich and coffee. read more

Awful service. Got a nova lox bagel hardly no smoked salmon, skimpy on the cream cheese. Just really crappy. This location has THEM worst service. I guess that's east Plano for you, bc this seems to be a pattern in all places east Plano lol. Wanna go to a good Einstein's? Go to the one one Parker and the tollway. It's right next to a Tom Thumb. I would go there but driving across Plano isn't worth it. But just don't come to this one. Awful awful awful. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Entrance - Sandwiches Near Me - Plano, Texas

Terrible customer service!! The individual taking our order was extremely rude and lacked people skills. Would not recommend this location..

This is by far the worst Einstein's I've ever been to. The ordering process is completely out of sync. Some times they have you order at the register and then they move it to the order here section. (You'll understand if you happen to order from any other Einstein's, the process is uniform). Once my order was in, it took over 15 minutes to get the bagel even though it isn't very busy. When I finally did get my order, they had given my bagel to another customer who had it in his hands and had walked away. When they realized their mistake, they took the bagel back from the other customer and slapped it on a new plate and gave it to me. When I questioned their decision to give me a food item that another customer had handled, they told me it was ok because it was I a small bag. Seriously, the health department should pay attention to this place. read more

Bagels are part of my being! The Bagels here are decent. But, the prices are orbiting Pluto and the staff all want to go back to bed and dream of anything but Bagels and Coffee. They are the grumpiest and most disorganized "employees". They stomp around bumping into each other. After the long wait you get the pleasure of having your order taken by someone who is desperately waiting for 4:20. No one has a clue what they are doing. Bottom line, I don't go to this one anymore, I will travel farther for far better service at the Independence location. See my Review for that one! read more

Bagesl are good. Service is the worst!!!! I tell the cashier I called in an order and was here to pick it up. I paid and then waited. And waited. When I asked if I called on an order, shouldn't it be ready? Because of "miscommunication" my order wasn't ready. Get it together and train you employees to pay attention to detail and the importance of Excellent Customer Service which is definitely lacking! read more

I went to this location to grab breakfast for myself. I had forgotten how great their whipped, creamy schmears are! Later that day, I wanted to pick up a bucket of bagels and schmears for my daughter's daycare. The location states it is open until 5pm, but when I arrived there at 4:15 pm, they were clearly closed! read more

I guess it's been a year since I've been to Einstein's - I used to go to daily at a different job. I used to love the salmon LOX bagel, but something changed on the menu. It's not the same - the diced tomato has given way to a full size slice, the shmear at this location was extremely thin, they did not include the pickle that was on the menu saying that they only give it by request. And at 9 a.m. when I was the only person in line they were out a plain bagels and I had to choose different type of bread. I'm very disappointed. read more

The bagels are pretty good, but the service is absolutely ridiculous. Every single time I have gone there and got bagels to-go they have screwed my order up. I know part of that is my fault for not checking it before I leave, but how hard is it to make 2 bagels with plain cream cheese (when I got home only 1 had cream cheese)? Spoke with the manager the last time they did this and he couldn't possibly care less. I miss the days when there was a little competition for your bagel dollar (Brueggers, Bagelsteins, etc.) read more

Completely screwed up my sandwich order. The manager did not help her employee at all. Absolutely awful.

I stood ignored for almost 5 minutes. The gentleman in front of me finally got to order, and it took forever because he was struggling to understand the broken English of the worker. It was finally my turn. I had trouble getting him to understand my order. I realized I forgot my wallet and told him I'd be right back. I was back in seconds, (would have been faster if the door near my car wasn't blocked) but he had erased my order. At that point I didn't have time to vo through ordering all over again. I left, and will NOT be back. read more

Found a piece of hair in my bagel. Yep, right in the mix with the cream cheese. Sounds tasty, huh? Hoping maybe it was just a bad day there or something because I love me some Einstein's....it happens, I guess. read more

Always a great place to grab a quick breakfast, though egg whites were not available due to recalls related to the avian flu outbreak. Really good options for breakfast sandwiches on their morning menu. They went a little lighter on the shmear than I remember from previous visits. My only complaint about this place is that the aroma of freshly toasted bagels is almost always overpowered by the smell of burnt bagels. Might make a difference if they regularly cleaned crumbs out of the bagel toaster. read more

Nice variety of bagels at a fair price. The breakfast paninis (particularly the spinach, egg, bacon and cheese) are tasty. Their coffee is alright; I've had worse and I've had better. Service at this location has never been top notch, but they get the job done, I suppose. Good for a cheap breakfast. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning - we got a half dozen bagels and cream cheese. They had a line but it moved quickly. While it was a pretty standard visit, the store was clean and the service was good, I was particularly impressed with the care they took to remake an order. I noticed a sign that they do a special of 13 bagels for $7 on Monday. They also have a rewards from but you have to sign up in advance (aka your purchase today doesn't count). read more

Very good bagel place. Can't go wrong with this franchise place with friendly stuff. More then just bagels!!! Salad, sandwich and panini too. Good place to have a bite! See my picture for what I got. read more

Two stars for food only. This is the absolute worst Einstein Bros I've ever visited. First off, the service counter was completely backwards. You order at the very end of the counter and have to walk through the line to pick up your food in the middle of the counter. Completely confusing. Second, the service was very lacking. Nobody behind the counter even looked up or greeted-including the young guy at the register. He simply waited for you to start your order. We asked what kind of bagels they had (based on other reviews saying they're always out) and his expression changed to something like exhaustion. He rubbed both hands over his face with a sigh then he mumbled off a few. He was also wearing jeans with a Dallas Cowboys hoodie with the hoodie up. Very unprofessional. Last, the cleanliness. There was a shelf on the wall with a dirty napkin and an empty plastic cup. Below that were a crumbled up newspaper and crumbs. The floor of the restaurant also looked as though it had t been swept in days. Needless to say, I will not be coming back to this location. Such a sad representation of the Einstein Bros chain. read more

I have reviewed this store once and decided to place another review since it is for the same reason. I waited awhile to go back but thought I would try this establishment again after a horrible experience. Aside from the rudeness from what seems to be a senior member of the team, the service was also poor. A younger man at the register apologized for the wait but she (leader) seemed to have no regard to customer service or her work ethic. I ordered a box of bagels, most were sliced by having a small slice on the top outer corner to form a small flap. Plainly seen, no care or regard for doing it right and placed in box handed to me like I was interrupting her day. I will never return to this store which I am sure that will not hurt them but I also wanted to share my experience. read more

I think their bagels and cream cheese are great. But for the price of their ready made items it's pretty expensive and inconsistent. If I order lox sometimes it is stuffed with salmon, other times it's barely any fish but giant globs of cream cheese. So I usually just buy their wonderful bagels and cream cheese then make my own sandwiches at home. I save some money that way and it's basically the same thing. So try their bagels but take them to go and fix them how you like at home. read more
