Great bagels! I made my sandwich a combo and got the yummy twice baked hash brown! It was so yummy ! Coffee was nice and strong! . service was great ! I had to run outside to wait for my food because my toddler was throwing a tantrum! I was so embarrassed. But the employee walked out to ask me if I wanted my bagels sliced. Thank you !!! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Bacon & Cheddar breakfast sandwich on jalapeño cheddar bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

Redeemed my birthday reward for a free breakfast sandwich! I've never had a green chile and cheese bagel and thought it's the best option for a breakfast sandwich. Surprised turkey sausage is available and glad since I don't eat pork. This was so delicious! Ordered on the app and when we arrived we were told they ran out of the other bagel we ordered and were making more. Employees are friendly ensured the order was correct. read more

An update you say? Here you go! Look at this "pretzel" bagel my coworker ordered. We got 3 like this. You should be ashamed of yourselves. They even smell disgusting. Oh and to make matters worse, we had it delivered and they ordered a half dozen that comes with cream cheese. The restaurant forgot to include the cream cheese (the bag was sealed) so thanks for ruining lunch for 5 people. We have 4 eatable dry bagels to eat. read more

Went in at 9am on a Sunday; Guy at the register very nice but seemed. Overwhelmed and I felt so bad for him having to tell customers they were out of REGULAR cream cheese (pre-packaged and didn't offer from behind the counter) . (Not told till after I purchased the bagels and cream cheese combo to go) :/ Waaay too small to serve this community. bagel baskets are super small and no way this place can support online and store front orders . The line waa out the door . Good problem to have but We have a small bagel place near by and may just stick to it because the vibe was intense. The employees were sooooi busy filling online orders . Disappointed because I love Einsteins bagels I drive from Covina to Sierra Madre to have them. I wish this location was a replica if that location. Too many neighboring cities to serve here read more

I was so excited when I saw that we were getting an Einstein's in West Covina! Today was my first time at this new location and the service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and my order was ready when the app said it would be. I ordered my usual, Asiago bagel with shmear and a vanilla hazelnut coffee. Both were delicious as other locations. I'm excited that this will be my regular spot now! read more

Service as great! Riley was super kind to me and helpful when I ordered, the bagels are always delicious with a good amount of cream cheese and the cold brew is super good as well! Great employees, great food, great business!! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

I didn't want to leave this review because aside from everything I'm going to say, it's damn good. My first visit here, I went all the way home and realized my entire order was wrong. I drove back. My second visit here, I checked my order right outside the store, it was wrong. Thankfully I hadn't driven all the way home. Okay. My third visit here and my last time, there was a hair baked into my bagel. I'm done. It's always the same guy Daniel there. It's unbelievable that I've returned so many times but like I said it's damn good. I wish I didn't have an issue every time I've visited. Won't be coming back! Always check your order before leaving the store! read more

(Edit:Picture Inserted in review ) First time Review (9AM 04/02/2025) It was my first time here. I had the toasted Cheddar Jalapeño Bagel with plain cream cheese. It was so soft and was very enjoyable. I ordered through the app on my phone and when I got there on my bike. My order was just ready when I got there. The Coffee was decent and love the idea that you can get unlimited coffee with your order through the app. But the two main problems is the welcoming vibe from the staff( *They seemed on edge & needed more help to improve morale)and the price for the bagel. One bagel shouldn't cost more than $2-$4. Let alone $6. I wasn't welcome when I came in the store and there was a lot of frustration from the other customers waiting for their food. Overall, the cheddar jalapeño bagel was delicious and the coffee was pretty decent. Some tips would be including more weekly/daily meal deals and discounts to bring and retain more customers. GIVE THE MORNING SHIFT MORE HELP. 3 people isn't enough!!!!!!! 3/5 stars read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Cheddar Jalapeño Bagel with Plain Cream Cheese and Large Iced Coffee (*Roughly 20-24oz) in size - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

First time at this location. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Made an online order and they were quick and efficient. Will be coming back.

Not bad but not as good as I remember them in the past. Other than having more flavors the bagels weren't any better than what I can buy at Costco. read more

I had the lox bagel and while it was good I've had better. It wasn't open faced or cut. A ton of cream cheese and maybe one or two capers. I also got the chocolate coffee. Good but will not be back for the price. I would find a small business to support. read more

Very chill place, good for wanting a quick breakfast! The employees were really friendly so I appreciate that. Little pricey but hey, if you have the money for a treat why not? read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - turkey bacon avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Covina, California

I was excited to have a location close to home. Ordered on line, went in past the ready time and still waited as no employees great anyone. I finally asked if my order was ready and it was not because they ran out of the bagel I picked and they said they have no way of contacting on line order customers. I waited some more as they just started my order! I only got 2 items out of the 3 that I pre paid for. I had to settle for items that were left over as alternative choices. All the employees appeared stressed and the vibe was frantic. Bagel was good but not worth the stress. read more

The best breakfast bagel I've ever had. I went with the country bagel breakfast sausage with country gravy spread. This is the perfect blend of flavors in every bite. The peppery savory flavor in the "gravy" cream cheese is the perfect touch. If you're a savory breakfast sandwich person. This is a must try. read more

Went yesterday for the first time ever and I hope this is just seasoning on my eggs in my egg sandwich? Got home and see this like uhm read more

Okay it's now been over a month since this location opened. The first time we placed an order for pick up they told us 15-20 minutes, it was past 45 minutes and still nothing. We asked to cancel our order and they told us we could cancel through the app and you cannot. We had to go through customer service. I gave them grace because it was a new location and I get it. Today we decided to try again. About 4 weeks later. We placed an order we waited and waited and they called our name after I don't know how long and they told us they didn't have 2 of the 3 bagels we ordered it was 10am. Again. Decided to cancel. They didn't even have a PLAIN bagel. I don't know why they haven't got it together. It took them so long to let us know they didn't have the bagels. We wasted our time driving to the location and waiting. Just to cancel again. read more

Good bagels.Get there early. They are baked daily and sell fast. The best selection is early morning.

Omg I was so excited for Einstein bros.. was close by finally !!! We would always goo all the way to Pasadena location next to Peet's ...we got chocolate bagel they were hard as a rock I was sooo bummb..we got there early too around 9ish . Also they didn't have chocolate cookies either as well I was bummedthe lady that was checking us out was sweet.. I dunno if we goo back cause the one in Pasadena would never fail.. please fix it read more

Let's start by saying the staff is nice. Now on to the actual review. First of all this a fairly new establishment at this location, with that being said it seems like a bunch of young adults with little to no guidance in the realm of getting things done in an efficient manner. This place should have all orders done on time when ordering online. I ordered ahead of time and proceeded to wait 45 minutes for two Frappes, and two bagel sandwich's. They need someone from a different Einstein that could show them the way. Or someone with more experience to guide these people. This is purely constructive and just what I noticed. We all gotta start somewhere, but step it up! read more

Really sweet cashier helping out today! I believe her name was Brianna (apologies if I spelled it wrong!) She was the perfect person for me to talk to as a first time customer her recommendations are great! Super good read more

Bagels were delicious, the service was great and very clean. The only sad issue they close early..

They are so greedy with their cream cheese. I'm paying full price, I expect what I'm paying for. Not a returning customer. I'll stick with Starbucks bagels where I get what I paid for read more

I recently visited Einstein bros. bagels for the first time and was excited to try your menu. Unfortunately, my experience didn't meet expectations. My bacon cheddar and egg sandwich was neither warm nor fresh despite being made to order. Additionally, when I ordered a caramel cold brew shake, I noticed that the employee making it measured out my drink but then kept the extra portion instead of offering it to me, which was more than what he gave me on my cup, he just offered it to his other 2 coworkers and even talked about how they could all split it even though I paid for the full amount prepared. When I asked about it, I was given an unconvincing excuse and said it was for another order and put it back in the refrigerator. I wanted to bring this to your attention because it felt like poor customer service, and it left me with a negative impression of my visit. I hope this feedback can help improve future experiences for customers. Best, Eric read more

I went on the first day of opening and everyone was so kind and welcoming. Since it was my first time going there the cashier with blue hair helped me out to the perfect breakfast for myself. She even gave me a sample of their spread to try, so I can see if i like it. She was so nice and helpful and every time I go here I have an nice experience. read more

I wrote the first review while waiting to get the new bagels. The manager apologized for one bagel being burned and said it was unacceptable-- but he saw the other bagel and didn't think it was fully burned so didn't replace it. So we waited for them to redo the "unacceptable" bagel while the other bagel got cold. The redo bagel was barely warm and a very thin layer of cream cheese. I didn't say anything about the second bagel and just chalked it up to I wouldn't come back to this location. I wasn't going to update, then saw that the company responded to my post, so thought I'd follow up here instead of completing a form. read more

Please change your gloves after handling money and making my breakfast bagel sandwiches.

The bagels are delicious, however the customer service needs to improve. I have been to this location a handful of times and almost always, I will be waiting patiently for my mobile order to be ready after waiting 30 mins past my arrival time and I will get ignored by the employees. I understand that this location specifically gets very busy and hectic, however when you know a customer is waiting for an order, you should not just ignore them after they've been more than patient and understanding. read more

The place needs a good cleaning. The main entrance is stained from who knows how long ago, possibly when Jamba was around. The inside just as dirty & staind from floor to counter tops and kitchen area. The kitchen has trash on the floor and food crumbs everywhere. I didn't go in restroom afraid to find out what is going on there... just as bad? The service was fine. Ended up with Mayo even I ordered without it. Friendly crew. read more

Of all the bagel placed in the world this one doesnt offer onion bagels. I asked the staff and no one had an answer, come on no "onion bagel? read more

I was so excited to try this place. I waited in a long line on a Sunday. Me and my daughter got different items. But I did get a specialty they had at the time. I remember it had brisket in it. So after waiting a long time in a crowded area with so many others, I finally got my food and went home. (Take it, I only live 5 min away). And when I got a chance to take that first bite. I was disgusted. It was a soggy mess that grossed me out. It was runny and nasty. I couldn't even finish it, it went in the trash. And good thing I didn't finish it, because a few hours later I got sick. Upset stomach and you know what else. Never again. read more

If you guys are ordering thru there app, please double check your order when you pick up. Especially if you're driving from the other side of town. They're notorious for forgetting to complete the entirety of your order. You get home to find you didn't get what you paid for. PLEASE OPEN YOUR BAG IN FRONT OF THEM & CHECK IF ALL YOUR ORDER IS THERE. STAFF DO BETTER. read more

Horrible place! Waited 25 minutes to be told they ran out of one of the bagels we ordered. So we switched bagel of course. The worker then said "both sandwiches on the sesame seed bagel, and I said no, the seed bagel is plain with cream cheese and egg and the other loaded sandwich is on the everything bagel, like it shows on the receipt. Proceed to wait another 10 minutes when they called our order. They ended up switching the bagels and screwed up the entire order! Then said oops, we're out of the bagels now, it'll take 20 more minutes. I'm so pissed and just got a refund. Wasted almost 40 minutes to leave with no food. Such a waste of time. Horrible customer service. How hard is it to read a receipt to see what the correct order is. Never going back! read more

The coffee is really good. However, the bagel was hard should be soft. Overall, the bagel can be better because it's pricey. I ordered online and should been ready for pick up at 9am. It was 9:15 am and still not ready on pick up area. When I got to restaurant there was crowd of people waiting for pick up. My recommendation is need better systems and process. Definitely more staff on busy days to keep up demand . And someone to check on customer for mobile orders and cashier can take orders . I want this place to be successful :) read more

The staff was polite and helpful. The bagels were delicious. I will be back to try more.

This is my 2nd visit to this new location . Opening day was madness so I decided to give it another try. I usually frequent the Einsteins in Pasadena. Idk if recipes are different but the bagels lack flavor & missing the cornmeal on bottom. I ordered the apple cinnamon and it one small chunk of apple!! Not to mention the preparation is sloppy cream cheese all over bagel and bag on both visits . Pasadena location wraps each bagel in wrapping to avoid this issue . I hope things improve as this location is across the street and much more convenient than Pasadena. read more

We went this morning and placed our order at 9:42am, it was a bit crowded and we were expecting to have a little bit of a wait but it turned into an hour wait and when we finally got our food, our order wasn't even right. I understand it's a new location, but their lack of efficiency was ridiculous, there is no way it should take that long for two bagel sandwiches and two bagels with cream cheese. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unprepared to serve a Saturday morning breakfast crowd and were running out of bagels, further delaying orders. They may want to bring in some experienced staff from another location to assist with the demand until their team members receive proper training. read more

First time at this new location and absolutely phenomenal service! The staff was so welcoming especially Dina!! Thank you for the kindness and welcoming energy. Food and coffee was sooo good! Definitely going to be my new go to. read more

Awful experience. This was my first time trying this place. To begin with, staff are not friendly nor welcoming. The staff seem stressed and unorganized. However, I placed an online order and after waiting for a long time past my pick up time, I asked a staff about my order and she just walked away and told another staff member about the order and all I heard them say is "I am catching up on it" but she never came back to let me know or anything. After waiting another 5 min he finally tells me "we are out of the bagels you ordered" I asked for a refund, apparently I can only do it on the app. I asked for guidance on how to get a refund through the app and still no help with that either. I have now reached out to customer service for a refund, but I do hope I actually get it. It feels so ridiculous walking out unhappy, without an order AND no refund. read more

I went to the West Covina location for the first time and I have a question about the bagel recipe. Are the bagels the same whether you go to this location or the Pasadena location? Your bagels were larger and less chewy. This is not a negative but an observation. read more

Tried this place for the first time this morning, and I will definitely be going back. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. My friend and I ordered the Green Chile bagel along with the Cheddar Jalapeño bagel with plain cream cheese shmear as well as a vanilla cold brew and caramel cold brew. Everything we ordered was delicious. The bagels were toasted just right, and the cream cheese was not lacking in quality or quantity. The coffees were perfectly sweetened and not bitter or too sweet. We will definitely be going back again and are very happy that Einstein is here in our neighborhood. read more
