Honestly, I wouldn't rate Einstein Bros. as the best bagel in the city, but they are affordable, convenient, fast, and have a strong presence in most cities. The service is quick, and I usually opt for pickup. The bagel shop itself is clean and well organized. I usually like to grab a bagel on my way to work, and they have a decent selection of bagel sandwiches and spreads. I usually get the ham and cheese or chorizo and egg sandwich, both of which are consistently good. It's good value for the money and exactly what I'm looking for before the start of a busy day. read more

Drive through takes extremely too long for it to be an option. Might as well sit down and eat somewhere else.

Walked in this morning and was told they weren't taking any orders cause they had too many. I've never been treated so wrong. I'll think twice about coming back. read more

It bugs me to have a prominent tip jar ( which I used) and a tip screen on the card reader, with no option on the front screen for no tip - and then they get the order wrong! We ordered two bagels with schmear, toasted and cut in half. One bagel was not the type that was ordered, and neither was toasted. We also ordered one unsweet tea and one half and half; both came out unsweet. Look, if you're going to push for tips, get the order right! From what I read here, this is a common problem and the employees don't pay attention. read more

I got the lux breakfast sandwich, which was very good. I gave them 4 stars because they didn't toast the bagel. I got 6 bagels to go and they were all fresh and delicious. The people working were all friendly and polite. The restaurant was very clean. read more

Tried the Avocado Veg Out on a jalapeño bagel--fresh and flavorful! The service was friendly and the ambiance was warm and welcoming, making it a great overall experience. read more

Few days ago ordered a ice latte with almond milk Get to the window the young lady hands me a hot drink. No big deal I tell here it's supposed to be iced She rolled her eyes like I did something wrong and goes to remake it iced. I see he from the drive through pouring whole milk And she comes to hand me the iced drink and I say is that almond mime you used? She don't even respond to me but stormed off mad that she made another mistake. I sounds like if you come here just be happy with whatever they make you or they will be mad if you want what you ordered. Just avoid this place as management is letting people like this work there. read more

I love this place the past week i have gotten wrong order few times in a row . I don't know if the intercom is broken or what so double check at window when paying i have had to re drive thru and be late for work at least 4 times . Then order has been wrong . Give them a chance but consider time of day when order g give enough time the staff is great and place is clean and friendly read more

Just plain delicious. Stopped by for an impromptu breakfast (drive thru)...after my initial breakfast spot was out of commission. What a joy! As soon as I opened the bag, I was rewarded with the tantalizing and inviting aroma of a fresh bagel sandwich...lightly toasted, soft and chewy oozing melted cheese over an egg and a savory turkey sausage patty. Oh my! Good, hot coffee and the quickest service I have had anywhere in a long time. If I didn't have to drive across town I'd be there daily. read more

Haven't been here in awhile... got my usual locks and bagel... such great soft chewy texture!

Excellent food! The drive-thru was so effortless even though it was busy. I ordered the loc bagel and it came with the classics. So good!

It was so dirty and unkept. I used the restroom and it was filthy as well. I usually gage of the restrooms are dirty you can imagine what the kitchen looks like. We won't be back. read more

I used the drive through. Ordered a bagel with lox on an everything bagel, and a lemonade. When I got to the window the young man opened the window while holding a filthy dustpan directly at my face level. No smile, no hello. Just a total. I paid. He went away. Eventually he handed me a lemonade. Room temperature. No ice. I got my bagel, said "thank you have a great day" and I smiled at him. He said "yep", and closed the window. When I eventually opened up my food, it was the wrong kind of bagel. ‍ read more

Good bagels but they literally threw our food at us, like threw it on the table and sped away.

Love this place...Great sandwiches and coffees. I will definitely be back. I've got to try more of their menu to give a better review

Pros: service was quick, lovely fireplace in the back of the room, and a nice variety of bagels. Cons: the person taking the orders was not very 'clean' looking. He made me nervous if he is the one handling the food. You need someone at the counter who gives confidence that this place is safe to eat at. Secondly, the bathroom was not well cleaned and needs a good sprucing. The bagel was 'fine' but putting cream cheese on it like a sandwich was odd and made it not enjoyable. And lastly, there is a lack of adequate seating. Without a variety of tables for 2, there were multiple tables for 4 with just one person sitting there making it so the last 3-4 groups that came in couldn't stay to eat. Seems there is a better way to make space for everyone. We might try it again, but not likely. read more

This location isn't up to Einstein Bros Bagels standard. I patronized many other locations and expected more. Our employee taking order was friendly and helpful, but our deli bagel sandwiches were very messy. Double baked hash-brown not so tasteful and mushy. My coffee drink was mixed with somebody else drink order. Should be better experience, that we have. read more

3.5-ish/5 Just your typical morning coffee and bagel shop: nothing too special but nothing bad about it either, hence the slightly higher than average rating. I got a blueberry bagel meal with an iced coffee and it really hit the spot. The meal comes with this surprisingly delicious twice baked hashbrown, which tastes a lot like Cracker Barrel's heavenly hashbrown casserole. They also had bagel dog treats that I had to buy, and my dog loved it. Overall a very friendly and busy place. Nice workers, fast service, good food. read more

Okay. I have tried to get used to this place but no. Just no. Coffee: terrible. Tastes burnt and watered down and always has coffee grounds in it. Soda: Either they always serve diet when you order regular or the mixture of sweetener is off. Cream cheese: has an odd aftertaste and mouth feel like it is it real cream cheese. Cheese on sandwiches: cheese product like those individually wrapped oil things. It's just bad. I must accept it. I'm done. read more

Group of us stopped in here to start our day. Food was great. Service was great. Overall no complaints.

Alex the manager is fantastic The food is always hot and fresh He makes a banging mocha Not bad to look at either read more

I've been to this location a couple times, but yesterday was my last visit. Wait time is usually what I take issue with, but would never warrant a complaint. However, yesterday I had a very unpleasant experience with the service/staff when transacting. It was a combination of a woman whose name I believe was Nina, and a man whose name I did not catch, but said he was a new hire. While processing my payment in their card terminal at the drive-through window froze. Nina asked if she could have my car to process at an inside terminal and I said yes, but jokingly said "as long as I don't get charged twice". She was apparently frustrated with the computer and the new hire from what I gather, and this must have pushed her over the edge. After returning with my card and passing it back to me, she immediately presented my order while I was simply inserting my card back into my wallet. It could not have been more than a couple seconds before I went to reach for my order when she withdrew it and closed the drive-through window. She did not appear to be in a rush, just visibly agitated. I asked the new hire what her name was to which he replied, "don't worry about it". I am a reasonable person and understand that everybody has bad days, but for somebody who is new to the job and has the audacity to make that kind of comment blew my mind. TLDR; long wait times, over priced, underwhelming, food, poor service. read more

Really great breakfast and super fast through the driveway! I took away one star for the price. $24 for two breakfast sandwiches and two coffees seemed pretty high to me, but we paid for the convenience. Great, high- quality food for a road trip! Husband got the farmhouse sandwich and I got the turkey sausage cheddar and egg bagel. We both got the caramel high rise iced coffees. read more

The staff here is amazing and they go above and beyond every time! I absolutely love the food and the Chai's are actually beating Starbucks from the M-F crew. The fireplace ambiance can't be beat anywhere else!! My concern is the security system. My belief because of being hacked for four plus years and the other single women I've talked to in Middle TN area is that a lot of the security systems are hacked and in return the hacker is harassing single women. The harassment comes by phone and car stereo. My belief is it is via satellite in car because sexual verbiage is replacing standard radio in the car intermittently. This was in my last car, Mazda and now my brand new vehicle. Phone never connected via car stereo as of today. I have had interactions within this store and later it is verbalized via car stereo. My friend says she was drugged and raped from security installer. Women in court said she felt she was being stalked by ex husband. Is it the ex? Other stories of phone/device hacks. Sorry not typical food review but this knowledge needs to be known. read more

This was my first time visiting. The food was good (I ordered the All Nighter). The cashier that helped me wasn't very polite. And when she took off her mask to say her responses more clearly, that was a little scary. You don't have to be Einstein to know good customer service, but I wish Einstein's had better customer service.... read more

Bagels are pretty good, but also fairly expensive at 6 for $14. What bothered me about the experience is that we were asked if we wanted to leave a 15-20% tip for the woman putting them in the bag. They don't make servers wages, and they didn't offer any service that would warrant a tip. read more

First they got my order wrong. Then I got the right sandwich. Generally not a very good sandwich. Doubt I'll go back

Ordered two farm house bagels this morning. One with no ham, and one as it comes. When we got home (10 miles away) we found that we had two bagels with nothing but egg. Not sure if we got the wrong order or what. Very disappointed as they are usually on point. Paid cash and didn't get a receipt back. read more

Worst Einstein Bros I've ever been in. Granted it was 3 in the afternoon and they were obviously cleaning up, but a mop bucket sat blocking the coffee for the entire time I was there. The bagel was good but I've never gotten one with so little shmear. I've gotten them on occasion that I thought it bordered on too much but this would qualify as a hint of shmear. Not a good experience at all. read more

Wasn't impressed. The avocado spread had no flavor, but the presentation was nice. The Asiago bagel has no taste. Sorry I didn't get a pic, but what I got looked nothing like the pic. Asiago bagel, Turkey sausage, with cheddar cheese, and avocado spread on the side. read more

Terrible service. Bait and switch advertising, and significantly higher prices than other locations. Run away from these losers!! read more

It's pretty disgusting to see your workers handling food and going to use a bathroom that has no hand soap come back out to continue handling customers food/orders. I went to use the bathroom and came back out and told the person behind the register about it and was given a blank stare. I guess this is the norm in Franklin now? Let me remind you we are still under a COVID-19 pandemic and your restaurant is risking every patrons life. Check your bathrooms! Make sure there is soap to wash with!! Filthy! Stop placing everyone's health at risk!! Now I understand why the health department have issued you violations in the past. read more

Sadly we stopped for lunch and My husband and I both ordered the Turkey Bacon Avocado Bagel Sandwich on Honey Wheat. Bagel was great but two thin slices of Turkey and a very sad tomato that was far from being ripe. Not worth the price. Not sure if that is normal portion at Einsteins but won't be back. read more

Service is great toasting your bagels. Never happens they cut the put a lot of butter on them. The butter does not even melt

NO EVERYTHING BAGELS no garlic at 11:30am!! will never comeback here!! The number 1 most popular bagel out before lunchtime. Horrible management. read more

8:40am on Monday MAY 3rd. The woman wearing a leopard shirt working the drive-through absolutely terrible service. Just an attitude behind everything she says. I got to the drive-through and waited two minutes with my window down while it's raining. She made me repeat everything twice having to literally shout. Unacceptable. I get to the window to pay him I wait another minute and a half waiting for them to turn around and finally acknowledged I rolled up. And what I get greeted with is more attitude. I'm giving three stars because the food is usually good and the staff usually isn't a pain in the ass like this woman. Fix your damn drive-through machine and hire people with the personality greater than a fly! read more

As far as healthy bagels go, Einstein definitely delivers. It has a lot of variety, and a lot of mini-bagel sandwiches. I personally like getting an egg & cheese on an Everything Bagel. It's a good spot for a quick eat, and the coffee doesn't disappoint! read more

We love the apple cinnamon bagel. So today we decided drive thirty minutes to get it. We have done this many times so not a issue, but today made us rethink visiting this location again. All the employees that work there seemed to be in a mood and not wanting to offer customer service. The girl taking our order would not speak up for us to hear her. She got our order wrong for drinks. When we asked the barista about it he could not get it right either. We ordered a caramel latter hot and a chocolate milk. He asked us 3 different times what we ordered because it was on his screen. We finally got our drinks and he gave us a hot chocolate instead of chocolate milk. I know things are difficult during this time, but not an excuse to offer poor customer service. If your employees don't want to be there then find ones that do. read more

This location is mediocre. Huge line when we went and only one register which seems ridiculous. I told her I didn't want cheese and she seemed confused this included shmear (cream cheese). Yes that's a cheese. Also disappointed that (like most places) they cater only to coffee drinkers. I ordered an iced tea assuming it would be fresh brewed as they have a full barista station. Nope. Instead got a giant cup to go to the soda station. At least they have turkey sausage, I appreciate that. Sharing the parking lot with Starbucks also makes it a disaster. read more

Fantastic bagels, a little overpriced but worth it. But service is extremely, extremely slow
