This is my go-to spot for a great bagel sandwich and friendly service. My daughters also love the bakery items, especially the cinnamon rolls--definitely ask them to warm one up! One thing that really sets this place apart is how well they get to know their customers. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a friendly "Hello, Joey!" even when they're busy. The staff is always welcoming, the service is efficient, and the restaurant is clean. A special thank you to Heather, Matt, Gabby, Elli, and the rest of the crew for always making us feel welcome. Keep up the great work! read more

It had been a long time since i ate at this location. i was pleasantly surprised at how different the place looked. it had a refreshed look and was clean! The food was so good that i went back the next day. Also, I want to say thank you to a really nice gentleman, Matt! He was welcoming and so kind which sadly seems so rare nowadays! Keep up the great work, Matt!! It doesn't go unnoticed! read more

Was really looking forward to trying this sausage gravy bagel but was definitely a disappointing experience all around. The place was PACKED, workers were doing their best but it was a mad house. I ended up waiting for my sandwich for about 25 minutes. They didn't even have the specific bagel for my sandwich but thankfully someone cancelled their order because otherwise would have had to just pick a random flavored bagel. I didn't eat inside because it was packed and loud. Doubt I'll go back since the sandwich was so underwhelming and experience wasn't too pleasant. read more

Every time I go into this location, it just never feels clean. I don't know they are very expensive. The food is never good anymore. I don't know if it's only this location or if it's all locations I have no desire to ever go in there again. read more

The app has GREAT deals. If you come in the morning the bagels are fresh. This location is right on Pearl Road, the front part of Southland Shopping Center. The pictured sandwich is an Alvacado vegetable on a honey wheat bagel. read more

Crappy location to an otherwise good chain. Dirty. Low on bagel options. And they only give tiny meat portions not full pieces, false advertising, theft. Rude management and staff. read more

Great bagels, assortment of flavors, but the coffee wasn't as hot as I expected. Tasted good, just not as hot as I like it. Loved the blueberry bagel! Was able to take a treat home for my doggies which they enjoyed. Side note: the entrance is on the side of the building, not in front like one would expect. read more

Covid review. Dining room closed and hours cut back as expected. Staff were very pleasant. I prefer their bagels to Bruegger's but this location is off the beaten path for me. I got the Nova lox bagel and a large cold brew. The sandwich was very good and the cold brew was excellent. Will return when in the neighborhood. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Two hours before closing. - Bagels Near Me - Middleburg Heights, Ohio

What an incredible example of poor customer service! Ordered 4 sandwiches and 4 muffins and 2 of the sandwiches were completely wrong! When we called and asked for a credit on our order, they said bring back the sandwiches or they won't do anything! Tried to explain we had our order "to go" so it was difficult to get back to the restaurant. Sorry that we left a tip! Here's a tip for everyone who might want to get a breakfast sandwich, go somewhere else!!! read more

The new Maple Farmhouse Bagel was a major disappointment! The picture of the bagel doesn't even come close to what it looks like. It's half the size! If they cut the bacon or cheese any thinner I would have been eating air! And way too sweet, who adds a cream cheese frosting in the sandwich?! Maybe on a plan bagel but not a cinnamon sugar topped bagel and syrup with egg, bacon and cheese!!! I can handle the syrup. I would have changed the bagel but some else got the order. Definitely a never again Maple Farmhouse Bagel!!! read more

I came here a little later in the morning and they ran out of most of their bagels. I got the egg sandwich on a poppyseed bagel. So good. The staff were pretty helpful and patient but it was also not very busy the time. If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely go back earlier in the morning! read more

I have been a regular customer at the Middleburg Heights Einstein Bros. for the last 15 years. I always enjoyed their high quality bagels and breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Their quality has remained true even till this day, however, something foul is amiss. The past 5 or so visits, I noticed several new employees behind the counter. With the new faces, there has been a drastic shift in work culture. The food is taking double the time to prepare, and there is a complete lack of regard to the customers time. On average, over the past few visits, I am waiting about 10 minutes. And that is with no other customers being waited on. Back a couple years ago, I would be in and out within 5 minutes, and that is with them being packed with customers. The employees also show an overall lack of courtesy to the customer as well, bordering on rude. The last straw was this morning, when I was going to pick myself up a breakfast sandwich. I walked into Einstein with absolutely nobody working in sight. Nobody working the register, nobody taking orders. No sign of anybody working in the back. It was very bizarre. I waited several minutes along with another customer. So I just shrugged my shoulders and left. No breakfast bagel, no more business. My theory is that this location is going to close soon. And the employees are just disgruntled and not doing their jobs. Or its an act of sabotage and they are trying to get the location closed in an act of defilement. Either way, they tarnished my tradition of getting breakfast there weekly. read more

the breakfast sandwich was delicious--two employees that verbally abused me. was not. Here's the situation: I am from a small town two hours away and drove up to Pearl Rd. to have my car serviced. I passed this restaurant on my drive in to the dealership and decided that I would walk my dog there while my car was being repaired. The dog would need a potty walk and I could get a sandwhich. When I brought my small dog into the store, I was thrilled that they didn't seem to mind. There were only about 3 customers in the dining room. Anyway, I ordered my sandwich and two waters. One for me and another for my dog (it was quite warm outside). Anyway, none of the employees said anything about my dog and there are no signs posted "No Dogs." After I paid and got my waters from the drink machine, I noticed a large--totally empty hallway with one lone chair. since this area was completely away from the dining room and any customers and employees, I thought we'd rest there, I could eat my sandwich, my dog could drink her water and lay on the cold tile floor in preparation for our walk back to the dealership. So we sat there roughly 1/2 an hour. Well, my dog started to whimper due to her advanced age and chronic arthritis so I gathered my little bag and put my trash in it and the two cups and put them next to the chair and left immediately as I knew my dog would start whimpering loudly and I didn't want to disturb the setting. ingot about 100 feet down the sidewalk when I hear two employees yelling for me. I stopped and they caught up with me and began tonverbally accost me on the street about not throwing my trash away. I explained the situation with my dog and they continued to accost me and then made the statement that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. I asked them why they didn't tellme that at any point during my 30 minute stay in the restaurant and they told me neber to come back to the restaurant again and that if I did they would call the police. What arrogance and entitlement! i intend to send this complaint to the owner of the restaurant because they went way too far. They knew I was struggling with a tired, hot, and old dog and they couldn't throw away a nearly wrapped bag and two cups to help me out--instead they both left their restaurant and chased me down the street threatening me. read more

I typically not a person who complains even if I am unhappy with the service! However, I went to the Einstein on Pearl Road in Cleveland my first time there. I walk in and go to the counter to place my order . There was 3 people behind the counter . Two of them were talking one was making coffee. They all saw me yet did not acknowledge me. A lady walks in who must be a regular customer and the one employee (a girl) says to her " Oh are you getting your usual" then proceeds to take care of her. Then a gentleman walks in and the male employee says " hey Bill are you getting a bagel today?" And proceeds to take. Are of him while the other male continues to make coffee!! So, I walked out extremely upset ! I will not visit that Einsteins again! read more

Stopped by today for a quick, inexpensive breakfast. We did get just that. I ordered this open face bagel thing with a garlic spread, arugula, tomato, cucumber and red onion on an asiago bagel. It was good. It had a fresh taste and wasn't overwhelmingly heavy. My boyfriend got a breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, cheese and spinach. Overall he enjoyed his as well. They gave me an everything bagel, like donut hole thing that had a cream cheese like filling to try. It was super tasty. Much better alternative to a donut hole, with the same convenience as one. I would for sure return for a few of those bagel bites while on the run. Not sure it's a place I would crave for brunch. I will also say the customer service was on point, I couldn't remember if I'd ever been there before so I needed a bit of guidance and they were super friendly. If bagels are your thing, check it out. read more

Bagels are good but the employees aren't as nice as they used to be. Must be new management. The building badly needs remodeling inside and out. I blame the city of Middleburg Hts for not being on top of this. Sleeping on the job again. read more

I'm been going to Einstein bakery for 20 years always ospinach gourmet and lately more than half of the spinach is on the bagel it's like all bagel in a tablespoon of spinach not happy price went up less spinach it's not gourmet anymore it's not worth going to get pick it up read more

This is the least friendly place to grab breakfast! The person that took my order was rude, inflexible, and unfriendly. The place is filthy, they use the same towel to clean all the tables, without washing it, the crap falls on the chairs read more

Food is good but service can be slow if somebody orders a sandwich. When the manager is working its great, if not, expect to spend your lunch waiting for a bagel. Liked it better before the fancy menu when I could get in and out. Always nice people working though. read more

I love Einstein bagels logo, the mustache cracks me up, but their bagels are average. Kind of overpriced too. I really wish they had some sort of reward system for their loyal customers because I'm literally here 4x a week. They have a delicious assortment of everyday bagels(poppy,everything,salt,etc...) but they also have Asiago, 4cheese,spinach florentine. They have egg sandwiches and delicious cream cheese spreads. All in all it's great for a quick breakfast! read more

Most everytime they toast the wrong side of the bagel. You can ask, show and explain it doesn't matter. Slice bagel place inside of bagel up toast. Panera also. read more

If ordering take out check your order! I was supposed to get 2 plain 1 Asiago 1 chocolate chip 1 cinnamon raisin in the family pack as advertised. Instead when I called and said they gave us the wrong order ( all cinnamon raisin and wheat) they said that's all we had at the time. That's unacceptable. Also the hash browns tasted like they were microwaved. All I can say is I will not be returning read more

Decent bagel place. I've always preferred Bruegger's coffee selections to Einstein's. I used to prefer Einstein's for bagels because I could get hummus on a bagel for the same price as cream cheese, and it was a more nutritious and filling snack. I guess they don't do that anymore, so that is disappointing. I wanted a decaf iced coffee, which they don't have, but filling a cup with ice and hot decaf worked like a charm. I thought for sure the ice would melt and I'd be left with luke warm coffee, but it was ice cold and perfect. read more

Best bagel shop I've been to outside of NYC. Yes it's a chain, but they execute it well. The workers here know their regulars. They're extremely helpful and friendly, even if it's 5:30 in the morning. The coffee choices are always fresh, and the bagel sandwiches they make have never disappoint either. I usually get the egg, spinach, mushroom and swiss. The sandwich is always carefully assembled. The spinach and mushroom are drained properly before being placed on your sandwich, so they neither turn the bagel to mush nor drip as you're trying to eat. It's this attention to detail that makes me look forward to eating here. I just wish they were open for dinner - they close late afternoon. read more

This place is a godsend, as are all good bagel joints in NE Ohio. Einstein's makes great tasting bagels! The 'spinach florentine' and asiago bagels are 'to die for'! And they have a decent variety of sweets and desserts. Their cinnamon bagel bites are scrumptious! Their coffee usually tastes great too. The employees here are kind, competent, and accomodating as well. Can't beat this place for a quick breakfast or brunch! My only point I would want to bring to their attention (and this applies to any place really) is that they need to check their coffee brewing machines more often. I get dissapointed when they're out of my favorite brew at times! I am hoping they open one up nearer to where I am in the North Olmsted-Westlake-Fairview-Rocky River area, to replace the Rocky River store they closed down last year! My favorite place to grab a quick, tasty breakfast and coffee. read more

Time to put some new tables in...maybe fix seats. Pretty bad. No apology when the cashier forgot to put in my frequent customer number ("oh, you'll have to make another purchase"). What happened to everyone who used to work there? read more

I just tried this place for the first time. I love the variety of bagel sandwiches and spreads! The bagels were pretty damn good! Could have been a little bit softer but I enjoyed it very much! My only complaint is the girl behind the counter that helped me didn't speak English very well and speaks softly on top of it so I wasn't sure what she was saying to me half the time. Also, in the middle of my order..she never asked if I needed anything else, she switched to a new customer and then got annoyed when I asked for something else..to which I said, 'I think you were helping me first, no?' and she seemed annoyed and answered 'Yeah but you didn't say you needed something else' (she didn't give me a chance she just started getting my bagel and never came back to ask if I needed anything else, I was waiting) .... so I would say to Einstein Bros...UP the anty with your customer service. Otherwise a great place. read more

4 stars because the food is great and it's super tasty. The customer service is good as well read more

Well, I used to like this place. Just saw the manager collect all the garbage from the trash cans and set it right next to where the food was being prepared. After she set it down, she washed part of only one hand--no soap--and proceeded to take the money for my order. At the same time, The man who made part of my bagel sandwich, left the job to take another order at the register. The entire time he had on the same pair of plastic gloves. Then he returned with the same gloves on to finish making my sandwich. Watching him touch the register and then the lettuce and tomato on my sandwich, all the while standing next to the overflowing trash bags, made me not want to eat here again. This place could use a lesson from a health inspector. read more

Really like their bagels, especially with the lox! The place and the staff need to be cleaner, though. Tables and floors are often dirty.

Love their bagels, what a selection. Everything tastes so good and reasonable priced.
