Came in for a breakfast bagel early one morning while it was still dark... Service was fast and friendly. The menu is filled with many bagel breakfast sandwiches, so it was tough deciding, but I picked something I enjoyed. Coffee was decent. There was lots of seating inside, as they weren't busy and it was clean inside as well. I really enjoyed this visit and would come back! read more

Entrance is a little strange, in that doors on the corner but you have to go downstairs and through more doors to get in. Food/beverages are standard for an Einstein Bros. The 2 workers there were very nice/helpful. A good alternative if you don't want to do Dunkin that is around the corner. read more

The biggest thing I learned was that the back door is an entrance. We walked around to the front which I thought was inconvenient but then we saw everyone else going through what we thought was a service door and that made the parking lot make more sense. The food and coffee was quick and friendly. She even brought our mocha and latte to the table. The coffee was surprisingly good. We were expecting Dunkin Donuts level specialty coffee but it tasted like coffee shop coffee I am just goi by to say that the ceiling was a little dusty. Not crazy. I just happened to look up. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - My husband about to dig in. - Bagels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

So normally this place would get three stars from me. It's a chain, it's solid, the espresso isn't bad, and the bagels are better than Brueggers. But three things put it up and over: 1.) It's always spotless. Now, having experience in F&B, I try not to judge too viciously on this, because I know I may have walked in between spins or something, but every time I walk in it's like someone just cleaned because I was coming, and it's nice. 2.) The staff is pleasant and efficient. 3.) Their Chocolate Cold Brew Shake. It was a warmer-than-usual day, and I felt like a Frappuccino from Starbucks. However, since I'm in the middle of my Lent challenge to give up Starbucks, it's temporarily off the list. When I saw this, I thought it would be a nice alternative. But, it's actually kind of better. With Frappuccinos they're sweet to the point you forget there's any coffee in it. You won't forget in this shake, though, because the cold brew announces itself loudly and proudly from the first sip. If you like Frappuccinos, try this, and you may have a new favorite. read more

Two incredible experiences while back in my hometown. Earlier in the week, my son wanted to stop by for an Asiago, sausage, egg and cheese sandwich- it was so good, we had to come back for another round. Huge shoutout to Dom, Tevin, and Mike for serving up delicious food and making my son's mornings in the city even better. Appreciate you guys. read more

Visited on Friday afternoon, two of us walking downtown to shop. The only employee (bald white male with beard) was not in the mood to earn our business. He was angry at us and the other customers for obviously bothering him at his job to provide service and the famous Einstein products. Despite is horrible demeanor and terrible customer service we did enjoy our bagel sandwiches despite having to eat them while walking away from this establishment NEVER to return. Why would I give this business another cent when they don't care about their customers? As we walked away disappointed we decided that that employee needed our prayers, hope he is able to find joy in life. read more

The pretzel bagel was amazing, everything was quick. Really enjoyed it and would definitely come back! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Turkey, Avocado & Bacon Lunch Sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We were in town for a martial arts tournament and Einstein Bros came in clutch with healthy, delicious breakfast options. The staff was always friendly and the service was quick every time we stopped in. I highly recommend the avocado toast. I also enjoyed the garden avocado egg sandwich. At this particular location, there was plenty of seating, so we often ate the meal on the spot rather than grabbing it to go. I'm going to remember this spot for next year! read more

I give out three-star reviews to "rock-solid-nuthin-fancy" type places. These are consistently good, dependable places and you know what to expect. And this location falls into that category. I've stopped in here for a quick sandwich when I left my lunch on the kitchen table. Or on days like today when I need to leave the office craziness at 10am to get that second cup of coffee. read more

Fast efficient and reasonable. Got a quick bagel bite to eat before catching the train back to the city. Restaurant was clean staff was attentive. read more

I had the brisket bagel it was amazing. Quick friendly service and welcoming environment. Definitely recommend.

Have eaten at one many times before, but it's been a few years. Prices have gone up, which I wasn't thrilled about, but I guess that comes with the times. I also feel like the bagels have gotten smaller, but my sandwich (the Chorizo Sausage one) was filled with deliciousness. Got 5 sandwiches among us, 2 coffees and a few extra bagels to go, was about $53. Would order again, just know they are closed on the weekends. But, what better way to start the morning than with a delicious bagel sandwich! read more

Happily eating a plant based diet that excludes all dairy for 3 years now! Now that that is out of the way Einstein Bros has VEGAN cream cheese otherwise known as dairy free shmear. I believe it's daiya cream cheese. As a non meat eating dairy avoiding human I always get the hummus veg out and it's so delicious NO MEAT NO PROBLEM on an ancient grains bun. So happy to have yet another vegan option in town. read more

This my first time at Einstein Bros. I needed a coffee and quick bite before a full day of work and travel; this was the closest spot to my hotel. Wow! Not only was the employee helping super friendly (I am so bummed I don't recall his name), but the shop was clean and inviting. I asked for his recommendation - the Farmhouse. It was soooo good, one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. I just learned we have Einstein Bros in California - I'll be seeking them out. read more

I feel so lucky to have this place in my building. Not only is it delicious, but the staff is absolutely incredible. Those three work as a flawless team and are ceaselessly friendly. They outshine everyone else downtown. read more

How could you mess up a plain bagel?. No seriously, both times I asked for a toasted plain bagel with spread cream cheese and I reach to the takeout bag later to find the wrong type of bagel or missing cream cheese... like how can that even remotely happen?. I guess it takes an "Einstein" to do it right. No pun intended. Another time, the employee was too lazy to come to display so I can point what I want from the baked good. There was no one else waiting to order. So I walked to the counter and I asked for the only "pans au chocolat" left in display and she had no idea what that was. Well had you walked over from the beginning to (ah you know .. help the customer?) I would've just pointed it out to you. We walked over to the other side, and I pointed it out and she goes oh chocolate croissant... ahh that is clearly not a croissant (neither in shape nor taste not texture)... you would think a bakery barista would know basic things .. you know such as what a pans au chocolat is... but whatever. Just bag it please! There's usually two employees , one taking the order and one preparing it (putting it together). There always seems to be a disconnect between both. Or they are just too careless to read the screen. Twice getting wrong order is two times too many. read more

Solid fast breakfast choice! The woman who took our order was friendly, patient and helpful. Decent latte w/almond milk. Yummy bagels, plenty of seating, clean, fast service. The aforementioned bald man is still here and was very rude to another customer in my presence, told her to "move, get out of the way". It'd be a good idea for the bald guy to have no interaction with customers. I'd return! read more

The bagels bought from here are not eatable. They look so ugly... wanted to give zero star. read more

Well what can be said about a chain? The food always looks good but most times tastes awful and it's expensive. I paid $10 for a bagel sandwich that was stale, a Coke and bag of chips. Just not worth the money at all. read more

My favorite place to go for breakfast every morning. The bagels are always good. I usually get the brisket sandwich and it is delicious. Lots of other options as well that are all good. This store also has a great employees. They always make sure to take care of all of their customers, and go above and beyond compared to other places I have gone. If you are ever in town before 2 PM and you hungry for a bagel, Einstein Bros is the place to go. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is tucked in a little off the street, hidden under the architectural overhang, and as such is a little more mellow than the other coffee plus breakfast spots around. I tried them for a breakfast and a quick dinner, and both were adequate; dinner did take a lot longer than it should, with no other customers in the place, and they were out of a lot of types of bagels by that hour (no surprise) but the manager was extra accommodating and gave me a bonus bagel as a thank-you for waiting. I'll take that as a sign of generally nice management. read more

While not the first time at Einstein's it was my first time here. I ordered the egg white, bacon, and avocado bagel sandwich, which also comes with tomato and cheddar. Daughter had egg white, bacon and cheddar sandwich on Sesame bagel. It doesn't come with tomato, but they said they'd add tomato, n/c. So nice! Daughter's arrived cold, and mine was cold from waiting, but they happily remade them, no questions asked. They two young men, Sam & Leron, were so nice, very polite, and had genuine smiles, so they earned the 4th star for excellent customer service. If your phone needs to be charged, you're going on a hunt. They have 3: 2 on the upper level, 1 under the Elmo and Mervyn painting, across from cashier. They have some really delicious, fresh looking salads, which I definitely want to try in the future. They had a Buttery Carmel coffee, which smelled great, and tasted even better. The same for their Vanilla Hazelnut coffee, too. When I discovered that was cold and out, they immediately replaced it and gave me another cup gratis (I didn't ask), though I told them I just got decaffeinated, and was fine with that. The one worker, Sam, insisted I take the free cup, as "you should have what you want". Again, so nice! We'll be back, and not just because of the food and coffee. read more

Wow. What a way to begin morning. The bald man at the counter is careless and rude. I have never seen someone this rude ever in my life. If you are a horrible person do not work at a bagel shop.

I just tried to use the national bagel day coupon to get a free bagel with purchase (and they're supposed to donate a bagel to someone in need). It specifically says on the coupon to be environmentally friendly, do not print and show on your mobile device. The cashier said her owner was only accepting printed coupons to get the offer. I'll take my business to Brueggers and donate food myself instead of offering Einsteins my business. read more

Stopped in for a turkey sandwich (to go) for the first time today, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! I work about a block away, and when I opened the bag, I saw that the wrong sandwich was in there. Usually I would just eat it and it wouldn't be a big deal at all-- But it was chicken salad, which is the one thing I dislike. So, I called just to see if I could run up and switch out the sandwich, but when Rachel answered the phone and I said my name, she already anticipated the issue, saying "You should've gotten the turkey and cheddar!" She was very apologetic, and offered to have someone run down the correct sandwich... He (Laron, sorry if I mispelled that) was here in less than 5 minutes! They also threw in a free sandwich coupon. Beyond the fantastic customer service, the sandwich itself was delicious and very fresh. There are a lot of sandwich shops in this part of the city, but Einstein's blows the competition out of the water in my opinion. P.S. I gave the chicken salad bagel sandwich to a coworker, and she confirmed that it was just as tasty! read more

I'm a student that goes to school right up the street, so i'm in there all the time. The very first time i went in there, 5 weeks ago.. there was gross stuff on the floor in the bathroom. I understood that they obviously hadn't cleaned it because of being busy perhaps. It's been 5 weeks ago and there is still the same exact trash on the floor and nothing looks like it's been cleaned.. i know i could just not use the bathroom but i mean i don't think they would like if i pissed in their booths. It's absolutely disgusting that they haven't cleaned the bathroom at all, that's gross. When i say it was the exact same trash i mean exact same. Someone cut a tag off of a shirt or something and it's in the same exact spot on the floor, exact same spot. If that makes you want to eat there be my guest but that grossed me out. If they can't keep the bathrooms clean what makes you think they keep anything else clean..? read more

I was very disappointed. How can a bagel store be out of bagels especially bagels designed for specific lunch menu items. No sesame bagels? No Asiago bagels? No PLAIN bagels??!!! All too crazy for me to understand. We also tried the strawberry chicken salad and added Asiago cheese. No cheese on salad after we paid extra for it. Lacked the main ingredients but hey they didn't forget the mixed greens! Also gourmet cookies were to come with our order - had we not mentioned it to Brittany we would not have gotten them in our bag. Brittany is not the fault. Poor management of this store will have this store closed soon. Brueggers and au bon pain are right around the corner they provide far better service and availability of items. Protein power bagel is mighty delicious. But very bad experience at this store. We won't even go back to see Brittany for our free item she promised on our next trip in. read more
