This place is so overpriced and basic. The coffee is fine. Even their deals are expensive. Service was decent and place itself just looks like the chain it is. Don't waste your money read more

Stopped in for my first visit this morning and was genuinely impressed. The store was clean and welcoming, the staff greeted me as soon as I walked in, and they were happy to answer a few questions while I decided what to order. read more

The young man at the register was great -- very friendly and helpful when we ordered. Unfortunately, the experience changed once we got our food. A woman came out from the back and told us the dining room was closing and that we needed to take our food outside to eat. The way it was communicated came across as very rude and abrupt. I wish this had been mentioned when we placed our order because we would have chosen to go somewhere else. It was frustrating to be asked to leave the dining room immediately after receiving our food. What made it even more confusing was that there were still people in line ordering and paying inside, and we likely would have finished eating before they even received their food. Clear communication and a more courteous approach would have made a big difference in the experience. read more

What a disaster this place is. Placed an order (just 2 sausage egg and cheese sandwiches) for pick up while shopping at target. Arrived 15 minutes later to pick up my order at the time it said it would be ready and it hadn't even been started. No one was even in the store when I entered. I counted five employees behind the counter. So frustrating to not even receive an acknowledgement that they messed up or were running behind. read more

Went 3 times in last 10 days and always out of cranberry bagels. today they did have 3 left. I asked the manager why are you always out? Can't someone ask the baker to make more? He said "You sound unhappy!" I said "I am!" He said "well you can use the door and leave!" I said are you telling me that you won't sell me the 3? He said ok! Took my money and then waited on 3 other customers before handing me my 3. I asked if he was the manager, he said yes. What a jerk. Never have a warm reception in this place. Encourage others to find another location or vendor. read more

I went this morning to grab a quick bagel. The staff was awesome, very helpful and attentive. I had the new Lox bagel... it was amazing. Love these guys! read more

I was at the place about 7 am saturday,the unhappy staff was quickly filling online orders and ignoring customers.There were 4 or 5 people waiting all boomers plus one hipster. After several minutes a gen Z female approached the register. she glanced at me. no expression. I guess that means "can I help you". I ordered and paid. She gave me the senior discount without asking.She said whats the name.After 5 minutes my name was called by her and a bag was thrown on the counter no eye contact. I had ordered a drink and waited for her to come back.She was walking by and I asked about the drink she spoke a word I couldnt understand and pointed to the end of the counter.I went there and waited several minutes,nothing,no one.I went back to her and waited untill she turned around.I said drink? I got eyeroll.She angrily walked to the drink area. I assume, no sign ,nocups,no drinks.She poured the drink set it on the counter and left.Why are you doing a customer service job? I understand you gen z's hate us boomers. Just so you know,we hate you more. read more

If you want to get food fast, this is the Einsteins to visit. They are fast service, friendly, and they get the order right 9.8/10 times! Though there's no drive-thru, there's plenty of parking and you get in and out fast (as long as you know what you want;). If you dine in, the place is clean and has plenty of seating. This is the spot that hits the spot! read more

Service here is generally good, but the bagels are so-so. Seemed to be baked, but not kettled like traditional bagels.

I went online to request a refund and was never granted anything after business owner followed up with me here. If it want so bad, I wouldn't ask for my money back, but it truly tasted like a hamburger bun read more

This morning, I dropped my wife at the Olde Town Arvada Station who was heading to the airport for an international flight for business and family, I headed to Einstein to grab a Texas Brisket sandwich with two eggs. A young cashier, whose name I didn't catch, was very pleasant and friendly that I tipped for the services. I took the bag and went home. When I opened the wrap, I realized there was very little brisket with two eggs. The bagel was supposed to have sliced jalapeños, but there were only two slices on it. The brisket was tiny, about one spoonful and mostly in the middle, while the rest were 2 eggs. What I actually ate wasn't "Texas Brisket", but more of "Texas Double Eggs". I was disappointed because I'm actually from Texas and needed to taste "brisket" which was just tiny portion. I paid about $11 for this! read more

Staff was great. Very quick in a Saturday morning. Bagel sandwich was decent. Dining room could use some love in between customers but I will be back. read more

After leaving the below review seven months ago I followed the instructions the owner gave me here. Haven't heard anything from Einstein. After seven months I assume I won't ever. Looking back at my photos I still can't believe how dirty this place was. Haven't been back. read more

The best bagels! I'm so happy to live in a place where Einstein Bagels exists. TIP FOR PARENTS: My son who is 5 always gets a chocolate chip bagel lightly toasted with easy cream cheese and cut into fours so that his little fingers can hold each piece. Works great! My usual is a potato bagel toasted with butter and honey. To die for. Seriously. I also love the fall season for their pumpkin smear and pumpkin bagels. This time I tried their apple cinnamon with pumpkin smear and it was so YUMMY. I also tried their double baked hash brown which was tasty with a little ketchup. I had them warm it up too. When I'm needing something heavier I LOVE their farmhouse bagel creation and depending on how hungry I am I usually only get one egg. It's enough to fill me up sometimes till dinner. Their coffee cake and muffins are also always super yummy. I LOVE that they always have fresh squeezed OJ and a variety of drinks other than the usual fountain drinks. I haven't tried the coffee yet but I will try it out next time I'm there. read more

I have been going to this Einstein location for years. The past 2 years when I order a bakers dozen, I have to double check the count. Periodically there are only 12 bagels not 13. My last visit there were only 11 bagels. When I bring the under count to the attention of staff they are always pleasant about fixing the count but I think it is time to find a new bagel shop. read more

I've never had to ask for my bagel to be toasted from any bagel place therefore I've gotten home 2x and my bagel wasn't toasted. The reviews about the amount of cream cheese are correct, it's like they are saving money or something. Last, I've never left here without someone offering an apology for how long it took to get my food despite there being at minimum 5-6 people on the line making food. I get it though...it's bagels not curing cancer so no bigggie. Just gonna avoid this place now because it's not worth feeling frustrated. I'm sure everyone is doing their best and they are all nice people. read more

This Einstein's is in a great location and the bagel was decent. Unfortunately I doubt I will ever visit again due to the state of uncleanliness. The checkout counter had a disgusting accumulation of dust and hair. The floors were unkept and the minimal seating available was also dirty. Will you please hire someone to properly clean your establishment and offer more seating. This place could be great if these issues are addressed! Take pride in your business and clean it up! read more

First time at one of these establishments and I had a great experience. The person at the register helped guide me through the menu. They recomendar a tasty sandwich with applewood bacon and two eggs. No complaints. I will return read more

We ate here 2 days in a row. It's convenient, fast and nice to hang out in. I ordered the poppyseed bagel with honey almond and it was so good. Their vanilla hazelnut latte is also pretty yummy. The first day we ate here, I didn't get a lot of shmear and was a little disappointed. The next day, I had just enough. I guess depending on who makes your bagels, the spread is inconsistent. I like that they have a wide variety of bagels and my favorite shmear is the honey almond. They do have a lot of good ones though. The staff is pretty friendly and seem to enjoy working there. read more

If you are in the Arvada/Wheat Ridge area, go to this location instead of the one on 55th and Wads. I went to the Wads location at 9:30 this morning and they literally only had 4 types of bagels left. Cruised over to this location and everything was in stock. Same apathetic service, but much better bagel selection. read more

Super annoyed today. I get we have COVID going on, but if you do have a job,... please do it right. I called in to place a togo order, and she said it would be a 5 minute wait on the phone to place my order. I said that's fine and waited 15 minutes. Proceeded to hang up, call back and get my order in right away. Walked it and was told I have to wait outside because they only allow 5 people in at a time, (which BTW there is PLENTY of 6 foot spacing for more people to wait inside). To top it all off... bagel is only covered with half smear, like they were running low and did a once over. I know this is a hangry rant, but seriously?! the one off Wadsworth has way better service than this one. Make the drive and avoid this one. read more

Jess was super helpful this morning when we had a hiccup with our order ahead. She was empathetic, kind, and got us sorted with delicious bagels ASAP. Thanks Jess! read more

Was the first and only person in line. 5-6 girls were "working", which mostly included gabbing. It took ten minutes to get my basic sandwich. Then it sat on the counter for another 5 minutes getting cold until someone finally gave it to me. No effort and customer service is obviously a thing of the past. Funny thing though is that at other fast food places like Chic-fil-a, they are FAR BUSIER and yet you get service with a smile. No wonder this place was dead. read more

I've been to this location a couple of times. The staff is very mixed of super friendly people and rather reserved people who are just there to do their job. But I can't blame you, we're all human. The bagels are always delicious. Mine have always been fresh and they put a generous amount of schmear on them. (Which probably isn't so good to my waistline but I can't resist!) I really enjoy their coffee but their hot chocolate is really good too. I've tried their sugar cookies which is pretty good but their bagels have my heart. I'm a bagel fan from the start so having a good bagel just makes my day. I love their "everything" bagel, their chocolate chip bagel is also a favorite, but honestly I could eat them all. read more

not one to complain but I explicitly asked for egg and cheese and they added bacon which my vegetarian girlfriend couldn't eat. also found a hair in the sandwich :/ read more

Sparse selection of bagels ready at lunchtime. Fountain drink machine is broken. Outdoor seating tables are filthy.

Twice I've been cheated. A "schmear" should exceed the sides of the bagel and give it a little height. It is not sufficient to put a mere single spread of (smoked salmon filling) that barely coats the surface. Please live up to your reputation. Being from NY/NJ I never really expect a 'bagel' but I think Einsteins coild get close. Well, "No cigar." read more

Attempted to send via website - received error message (from both Firefox and IE6) I've decided not to waste another lunch break at any of your restaurants ever again. I have been stiffed too many times to have any more faith that you'll pull it together. The saddest part is that I really enjoy your bagels, everything else pretty much sucks. In the past I've gotten an undersized bagel only to be told it was the bagel maker in the morning guy's fault. If they were wrong, don't sell them. I've gotten rotten potato salad, replaced with half-hearted apology while looking away (toward another employee) and various mischarges, shortages, overages and out of stock products. I'm fed up. Like that exciting person you begin dating only to find they have way too many flaws to consider it a functional relationship, I'm ending things. It's not me, Einstein Bros, it's you. You're staff all have tongue piercings and the most apathetic attitude I've encountered, save for Taco Bell. Half the time when I eat there I'm first greeted by exposed butt crack before "may I help you". I took several cellphone pictures to illustrate my point of empty display case, dirty floor and so forth. So I say goodbye Einstein, and good riddance, I can make my own veggie sandwiches for far less money and trouble. I'll be looking for the "For Lease" sign in your window every time I pass to eat at Q-Doba. Cheers, Ryan **** p.s. feel free to contact me for further info or the photos. You could also search Yelp, as that is my next stop. read more

I love Einstein's - I don't think you can beat them for convenience (unless you like McDonald's breakfast which I do not). However, I think their prices are quite high. $5 - $6 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty ridiculous especially when you consider subway now offers them for $2- $3 and there are breakfast burritos offered from many places for less than $5. But I can't resist going for a basic bagel with cream cheese (especially when I have a free bagel Friday's coupon)! I frequent this location as well as the one in Denver West. Most of the staff are great but there is one women who always seems to be talking orders when I go. I can only say that she is fortunate they do not work for tips. She seems to despise her job and she appears to be very annoyed with everyone who walks in the door. Also beware, if you order to go there is not a great place to stand and wait for your food to be ready. Your choices are pretty much limited to blocking the door or blocking the coffee - neither of which is a great option. Despite the problems I enjoy Einstein's for breakfast. The food is always hot and ready quickly. Whether eating in or quickly grabbing to go it is a great way to start the day. read more

Much improved!!! We have been here many times and had almost stopped coming entirely because they just didn't seem to have it together. A new manager recently took over (12 months ago maybe?). The place has gone from a place with always dirty tables to mostly clean tables. The food has gone from inconsistent to consistent. The staff still rarely smiles but clearly they are doing a better job of training their staff. Almost entirely positive recent experiences has brought us back more often. I'm glad they remodeled the store so that the bathroom doors are no longer immediately adjacent the tables. Things are improving with the GM that took over. Hopefully it will continue. Good job guys! read more

My favorite things from Einstein's are the travel coffee mugs. They're super cheap (like $3 and the coffee is included), plus they're dishwasher and microwave safe! On top of all that jazz, they're cute, which totally makes the coffee taste better, right? The Kipling/I-70 location is by far my favorite. The staff is incredible. My company regularly orders a spread of bagels and lox for client meetings, and the presentation is beautiful. Mike (the manager?) is very accomodating and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. read more

I love me a tasty turkey on an everything bagel. Which is what I got on my last visit here. I always forget about Einsteins and am tired of the standard fares that are on this side of town for lunch options (when I forget to bring my lunch to work). There is plenty of parking and the last time I was in here there were people eating in the restaurant, but there was no line. Sweet! I do agree with other reviewers that the prices for a sandwich weather breakfast or lunch is a little more expensive than other places but I don't mind paying if I am going to get a decent & filling lunch that doesn't make me feel all bloated and greased out when I am done eating. I am a sucker for a just a regular old bagel and cream cheese too. The reason for 3 stars one might ask? Everything smelled like syrup from the bag to the drink cup to the wrap they put around my sandwich. It was weird. Second, the staff wasn't very pleasant. The girl that took my order was kind of surly and rude, and the guy that handed me my lunch sort of threw it at me in a kind of "here's your food now leave so I can get back to doing nothing" way. Again, it was weird. I am sure I will come back as it is a convenient location, I just hope the staff is having a better day and all my stuff doesn't smell like syrup. read more

I've been coming in here at least twice a week for my post-swim nova lox and bagel for a couple months now and I find the staff to be super friendly and fast paced at every single visit. They've been apologetic for longer than normal prep times, which I didn't find certain long at all based on the volume of business they were trying to take care of. The tables have always been clean every single time I've visited as well. To be honest, I'm blown away by all the negative reviews as they are truly opposite of the dozen or so visits I've had in the past couple months. I'll continue to return on a regular basis as this is a great spot for quick and easy breakfast. read more

This place has been in complete fail mode the whole year I have lived in Arvada. Few good decent employees that work here but also some of the laziest incompetent people I have ever seen tend to get hired here. Makes me feel like I'm at McDonald's.. Very disappointing every time.. The only time my nova lox comes out with a reasonable amount of toppings and isn't just slapped together is when there is important looking people in the store( corporate, owners, etc..) This place has potential if whomever is doing the hiring stops handing out jobs to people who just don't give a rats a#$ about the customer. All that aside. I LIKE BAGELS! read more

I come here all the time and maybe one out of 10 times my bagel is decent. This time, the salmon tastes old and looks like it was put together by a 5 year old. I've let it slide every other time and just dealt with it but I'm over spending 8$ on a bagel and not even being able to eat it. This is the only bagel place around and it's sad that this is my only option to go for one. Just annoyed read more

Came for breakfast for avocado toast, a coffee and a chocolate. The avocado toast and the chocolate were great but the coffee was not the best (that's the reason for the 3 stars, but honestly this is more a 3.5 stars) The service was fast and there is plenty of space to sit inside. The have tables and chairs outside too. read more

I generally enjoy the taste of Einsteins bagels and cream cheese, however I don't enjoy when the staff behind the counter is coughing all over my food. I said something to the individual continuously coughing first and she told me it was 'just allergies' so not a big deal - I'll pass on going here again. I also told the manager after the response from the employee - not sure what happened after. Yuck. read more

Okay, I love getting to update a formerly negative review. The last two times my family and I have visited this Einstein's, the service and the time it takes to get your food has drastically improved. Kudos to whoever it was that put good people in charge of shifts and apparently teaching the newbs how to do it. I admit, I did not expect it. But someone is making good decisions over there. As far as the bagels, they're still delish. Our favorites are the breakfast bagel on Asiago cheese and the apple cream cheese bagel. read more

Been here a few times now and the 6$ for 13 bagels on Monday is a killer deal. None of the staff seemed sick or coughing behind the counter like another comment said. The workers were respectable and offered great advice. The music is pretty lol though. read more
