Update: 2/28/25 - Went back after a year to give them another chance. We were hoping to not see the previous manager and similar situations etc. Immediately upon arrival we noticed the place was empty after 9am, which was very strange. As we went inside we were overwhelmed with a smell of sewage/feces? It was foul! I checked my boots, thinking I stepped in goose mess outside. Nope, we looked around and at each other and weren't willing to take any risks on whatever was going on, so we left. We are done here. read more

Meh. It's a good location in Chesapeake. The employees were friendly enough. The dining room was very rough in shape--lots of dirty tables. Clean it up, and it will create a better customer experience. The food was OK. read more

It's my new go-to destination!!! We just made the move here and I'm ecstatic that we stumbled upon this gem. These bagels are reminiscent of the authentic NY/NJ bagels that I grew up with. Cayman was fantastic, he even treated us to samples of the bakery's delights. My All Nighter egg sandwich was truly divine! read more

This location is big enough to have a big group and the service and employees were very friendly. I had to try the Bagels and gravy egg sandwich when I seen it advertised. I was shocked to find out it didn't have gravy but that it was a peppered cream cheese on it but it was still delicious! My husband had the bacon egg and cheddar sandwich and that was just as tasty. We will definitely be going back to try some other things. read more

I haven't been to Einstein Bagels in years. They're pretty similar to Panera in many ways. They have bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and more. They also have a rewards program. So sign up if you plan on being a regular!! The line was lengthy but moved quickly. The cashier was friendly and patient. By the time i put the order in and walked away it was done... Viola!! I got the farmhouse breakfast sandwich with sausage x 2... It was about $17... The picture on the wall had me amped up but the finished product looked nothing alike... It was the worlds flattest sandwich. Lol. The turkey sausage looked as if it were still gobble gobbling at me... It definitely needed a lil more time to tan for my liking. But okkkkkrrr!! It came with a tasty peppered cream cheese... Mmm. You need that schmearrr in your life... It came with 1 egg but you can get 2 if you prefer for a little more moolah... The sandwich was pretty darn good considering my turkey sausage was gonna fly the coop. I was hangry so i took a chance and i lived... Lol. The bagel was pretty yum. But I'll definitely get it double toasted next time. The menu has other interesting items I'd like to try.... I will be back for more but will ask to toast my meat a little longer. It was clean inside and the staff was nice ... There's plenty of seating and parking... 4 stars Einstein!!! read more

This location has failed to call me back after charging my Visa card 3x now and I now have a 4th pending transaction for a visit I made in December. I understand they had an issue with their POS system however my card should have only been charged once. I have spoke to two managers there who said they would call me back and get corporate involved and still not one phone call and charges keep coming out of my account. Unacceptable. Worse customer service. I want my refunds!!! Edited to respond: thank you for getting back to me. I did the request for contact via the web address you listed earlier this week and have not seen an email or received a phone call from the company. read more

First time at this location. Quite spacious compared to most I have been at not only in CoVA but NoVA! Very friendly staff, so knowledgeable they can say @egg white bacon tomato avocado" in 2 seconds! Same variety of bagels and offerings. They have the frequent program which you can sign up easily. Fill out a survey get points! Always delicious... read more

Garlic bagel all the way!! Ordered the lox with cream cheese, but I am complicated and prefer garlic bagel with chive smear toasted. The counter rep was very pleasant and adjusted to my needs. The lox bagel was yummy, but I think they can just put a tad bit more. The cinnamon cream cheese roll is to die for! It melts in your mouth when heated. The atmosphere was nice, and the charging table is so convenient! All in all it was yummy! read more

All-Nighter Egg Sandwich: Delicious! But for delivery orders, Einstein really needs to enable in-app options like removing the bacon, adding extra cheese, and adding extra chipotle mayo. And I would love an option to add grilled green peppers! I actually like this sandwich so much that it's become one of my safefoods. I like to make it at home by buying a baker's dozen sliced bagels, putting them in individual bags, and freezing them; then over the following weeks I thaw one bagel at a time by boiling a large cup of water in the microwave, then sticking the bagel in the microwave next to the cup of steaming water, shutting the door, and leaving the bagel in there to bask in the steam for about half an hour. This ensures the bagel does not dry out while thawing. Yum! Blueberry Muffin: Yuck. On the very first bite, I could tell they use a bad artificial butter flavoring to cut costs. With the prices Einstein charges, management should really be using real butter for these muffins. However, the muffin was baked and presented perfectly, so the employees at the bakery definitely did everything they could within the constraint of not being allowed to use a better recipe. Cold Brew, Large: Yummy!!! I got it wihout any flavoring, of course, and whatever coffee beans Einstein uses have a chocolatey flavor profile. Definitely gonna repurchase! In closing, the employees at the Volvo Parkway Einstein Bagels location are lovely people. I've been going there often for over a year, and I've had nothing but good experiences. They're patient, helpful, friendly, polite, professional, and FAST. 10/10 service for sure. (If anyone tells you otherwise, they probably mistreated somebody and received mild-to-moderate pushback as a consequence of their own antagonistic actions -- which is usually the case when a customer complains about "rude" employees. And I say that as an autistic person who probably puts her foot in her mouth on a regular basis without realizing it.) read more

There were flys and the bagels and the worker maybe would noticed if they weren't cuddling at the cash register

This establishment was very clean and the staff/service was very good!!! They have a variety of juices and coffee flavors Variety of food options to choose from with your choice of bagel and spreads also provide vegetarian options Coffee was very fresh and have cream and sugar options to choose from Strawberry and banana smoothie 5/5 this was a very good choice was very tasty. You can get it with whipped cream as well. Avocado Veg out !!!! 5/5 this was my favorite Tasty turkey 5/5 my sister said it was the bomb (lol) Blueberry muffin 5/5 tasted very fresh Overall review 5/5 the inside dining area is very inviting also haste TV if you want to watch. Definitely would recommend you to stop by if your in the greenbrier area of Chesapeake read more

I love their bagel sandwiches. The service is a little stand-offish, but it won't keep me from returning for an awesome bagel sandwich. I look the comfortable seating. read more

This did not meet the standard of Einstein Bagels that I've experienced in other states. Underwhelming to say the least. Coffee was nowhere near warm much less hot. I don't eat eggs or mayo so the Texas Brisket that I ordered was sans both....the staff preparing the food couldn't seem to grasp the idea that the order was placed without these two items because they talked about it loudly for several minutes while preparing the sandwich. Needless to say my Texas Brisket looked unappealing with what appeared to be a very thin serving of chipped pieces of brisket and a slice of cheese. Maybe I expected too much but if an order is placed without a significant item why wouldn't you add more of the other item or ask if I wanted more. Also, somehow my green chili bagel was cold in the center where the cheese is. The seating area is spacious and was pretty clean. When we walked in, one of the staff members was cleaning the tables so that was nice to see. read more

I give them points for fast service even when crowded. They keep it moving, just like in NYC! But tip is to skip the cream cheese. They cost as much as the bagel! And if you get a gourmet or signature bagel (they are labeled as such on the bins) it is 70-80¢ more! Total for one bagel with cream cheese is roughly $5. Just get the bagels and bring your own cream cheese or eat at home. You'll be saving yourself half the cost without the cream cheese. Or buy their tub of cream cheese, but it'll probably be still pricier than buying at a grocery. read more

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. Just an FYI- if you bring in a birthday cake they charge you $25. Not only that, they charge tax on that $25! It cost me almost $29 to bring in a birthday cake for a friend. I even brought in paper plates and plastic forks that they would not have to provide those. Honestly, I was shocked!! Just wanted to let someone else know, so they can choose to do their cake somewhere else !!! read more

The food was great, but the staff was very rude to other customers (not me in particular). Two staff members began arguing with a staff member working the register who simply asked the other two to open the second register, and to not have an attitude with customers. The staff seem incredibly dysfunctional, but the food is good. read more

A decent choice for a quick breakfast. We enjoyed some bagels with cream cheese smear and coffee. Bagel selection wasn't bad (considering it was late in day). Cream cheese ration was spot on! I enjoyed caribou coffee. Due to time (near closing) just two flavors were available and my medium roast was excellent. I am very selective about coffee and found it perfect! Decor is average. Good for take out or a quick meal on the road. Service was friendly and order was done well. read more

They have a wide variety of bagels and cream cheese schmears. They have bagel sandwiches and coffee selections. However, I feel they are a bit overpriced. In the past I have ordered their cream cheese and lox sandwich which was pretty tasty, but $7 is a bit much for my taste. The employees at the counter were not exactly friendly with hubby and I. Probably won't be returning to this particular location. read more

Not my fav bagel place in the area but, not bad either. Pricing isn't posted online or on to-go menu. The only pricing is on the board when you walk in. Therefore, I took it upon myself to post pics of the menu with pricing. Signed up online for free bagel & cream cheese and of course it takes awhile to receive so, I didn't get to use it nor did lady at counter honor. Loved the variety of bagels. I chose a toasted Ancient Grain w/ Smoke Salmon Cream cheese. It was barely toasted with a little bit of cream cheese. Flavor of the bagel lacked. Nothing unique about this bagel that set it apart from a store bought. I think this place is great to try and satisfies the craving. I also believe one would achieve the same buying store bought. We didn't see any warm fresh hot bagels nor did we smell any. So, we cannot confirm freshness. My daughter had the Asiago w/ plain cream cheese and she enjoyed but, has also had better. Service moved through the motions. Didn't get any warm, fuzzies, nor any sunshine committee when wewalked through the door. If one is craving a bagel, try this spot. It's worth a try and satisfies the craving. read more

I get a bagel and coffee here occasionally. This is a bagel shop at its core, and they definitely do the bagels right. Lots of bagel style choices and plenty of options for toppings. They call their soft spread cream cheese "shmear", which I'm pretty sure is a nod to the Jewish roots of bagel shops. My favorite is a toasted everything bagel with smoked salmon shmear. Sometimes a twice-toasted hashbrown as well when I'm feeling extra hungry. If I'm thinking fresh bagels, I'll choose this over that other big chain any day. read more

Staff was friendly. That's the only good thing I can say. The entire store was dirty, I had to wipe my table off myself. Despite the the store ​having an abundance of staff (several of whom were on break), there was trash everywhere and the floor, booths and drink station were disgusting. Probably no surprise I ended up with a stomach ache soon after as the kitchen is probably filthy too. It's a shame because the menu has lots of appetizing options. I will not be back. ​ read more

I come here about once a week. I love how quick it is and now they have the rewards app so I get points and rewards (similar to Starbucks). I always get a sesame seed bagel with extra cream cheese. Sometimes regular amount of cream cheese ends up not being enough for both sides of the bagel. They also have good sandwiches. My friend always gets the croissant ones because he doesn't like the hardness of a bagel. They have lots of options -- muffins, bagels, croissants, and other specialty bakery items. read more

The service at this location was terrible. We were so excited to come in for my daughters birthday and the staff, particularly the food preparer was extremely rude. He called me by the wrong name and when I didn't want to touch the food in the event it wasn't my order, he talked down to me and then made noises as if I were a simpleton. He then proceeded to talk about us with the other staff members. Management should really take note of who they are hiring. PS: what happened to your eggs? This is disgusting. read more

UPDATE: So after three sub-par visits in a row, I've decided to update my review of this location (I try not to let one bad visit change how I feel about a place I usually love - everyone has bad days)... over the last few months, there has been a significant decline in both quality/preparation and customer service. I've noticed that even when they're super busy, there's usually only 2 people working. On my last visit I received poor quality food, sub-par preparation, and disappointing customer service. I did go online and submit a review on the corporate "contact us" page and was contacted less than 24 hours later by phone with an apology and gratitude for the information I submitted. I will probably visit Einstein again, but not likely this one. Original Review: This location is hit or miss, though it's a hit more often than not. My favorite meal here is easily the Nova Lox on a sesame bagel and few places do it better for under $9. Occasionally I'll get my Nova Lox with a tiny portion of lox and only a few capers (though I generally ask for extra tomato and capers) and they're always happy to "fix" it. While the staff is occasionally distracted with behind-the-counter issues, they do offer good service. They're always kind and do a great job with accuracy and offering other things to go with my food and coffee (though I tend to stick to the same thing every time, haha). I've never been here and had to wait very long... They're quick and not overly-busy. Overall a good experience with only a few hiccups. Thanks guys!! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Really...? I just paid $7 for this. - Bagels Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Instead of getting McDonalds for my family...I decided to get Einstein bagels. When you walk in it looks cozy with comfortable chairs and a fire place. It didn't seem to busy. It was nice and clean. The cashier was nice and greeted me. I ordered a turkey bagel sandwich with potato salad and my husband got the sunrise breakfast sandwich. I had gotten my food to go. They were quick and accurate. When I got home my sandwich was nicely made and it tasted delicious. Dane with the potato salad... It's made with red potato and I'm assuming it had dill...and I love that in potato salad! I tried my husband's sandwich and it was nicely put together as well. Very tasty! Every breakfast sandwich should taste like this! I will be coming back until I have a bad experience. Until then I'll still go! read more

Give them a 3 because my bagel was pretty good . However ,the customer service was severely lacking . 7 people on the floor and not one said hi or Good morning . In fact , one of the guys working on the floor greeted his co-worker who was coming in and not me . Okay fine . Then my order was done incorrectly , it felt like they were zoning out and were use to hanging out instead of attending to the customers . Food : B Drink: C ( chai tea latte ,was watery ) Atmosphere : B Cleanliness : B ( did not go to the restroom ) Customer attentiveness :D Customer service overall : F Would I come back to this establishment : I would try another location Business advice : In a world where there are so many options you have to hire the right people to care and implement guidelines in your company that stand out from the rest ...

I went here for my first time on Sept 23rd. I got the all nighter bagel and it was super good. However, I did realize that my bagel was being made on a bare counter. The contents of my bagel were sitting on the counter while my bagel was still being toasted and it was a red flag for me. I notated it and thought maybe I'll ask for that to be different the next time I come back. I came in the following week and asked if it was possible to make my bagel on the wrapper and was told no it was impossible because they cut the bagels...??? I asked if the paper rips can they just use another wrapper to replace it and was told no. I could tell that the cashier just wanted to be difficult so I left and will never come back. Calls will be made to have this fixed because they could poison someone with cross contamination not to mention that's just not sanitary. Also, if a customer is asking to have their food that they have to ingest, made a certain way, it should not be shut down. You never know if allergies are present and there are a multitude of foods that have ingredients that people are commonly allergic to. This was unacceptable and it sucks because I thought I found a good breakfast spot near me for the days that I work from home. read more

Went in to order. Signed up for club program and had their coupon for free bagel and cream cheese with a purchase. Made a purchase and coupon only took off the price of what i bought $2.09 vs $3.96. Cashier couldn't fix it so gave me one sliced bagel. On my way to work I decided to eat my bagel. The "schmear" of cream cheese is a joke. I'm not sure where it was. Top had the same amount of cream cheese. See photos I uploaded. Smh. Definitely prefer Bruegger's Bagels over this place. This bagel and cream cheese definitely was not worth $3.96. read more

I'm a huge fan of Einstein's in general--I've been a regular to the chain since college. This location is not the best. The employees were not very friendly, & somehow my bagel was not hot (barely warm) even though I grabbed it as soon as they called my name. I was also disappointed to see that they didn't sell the large fruit cup I'm used to seeing at other locations. Instead, they have a 5oz fruit cup which definitely wasn't enough. The inside, however, has lots of seating to include nice workspaces such as booths and a high table with outlets. I would give it another shot since this location is the most convenient, but I wasn't impressed this time. read more

The one out of two bagel places in Hampton Roads worth visiting. Authentic delicious flavorful bagels. Their cappuccinos and lattes are pretty delicious too. I like the interior as well. It's comfortable with few sofas and armchairs in addition to multi seat high table and booths. You can visit by yourself and read one of the local newspapers available for free to customers. Little retro real hands on newspapers reading. I wish more places offered those still. They also have an app where you can earn points for purchases to get discounts or free coffees or free bagels etc. It's worth just signing up because you get free bagel just for buying first one with the points. Great place for coffee, breakfast or lunch! read more
