The store was spacious and very clean. It wasn't too busy, but there were a few people already eating and ordering. The cashier was very friendly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the old man making the drinks seemed to be in a bad mood--slamming drinks down and mumbling so much that multiple customers had to ask if the drinks were theirs. When I finally got mine, it had caramel running all down the side of the cup, which I didn't notice until it ended up all over my shirt. Definitely something that needs improvement. read more

The bagels are marginal, the staff is terrible and can absolutely never get an order correct, and if you like cream cheese or butter or whatever topping on your bagel don't go here since they will spread it so thin you won't even know you got any. It's a shame since they used to be good but have just continued to steadily decline over the years. read more

Service was awesome, super friendly staff very helpful and let me take my time deciding what I wanted to order. Ambiance was nice, clean big open space, was happy to note they also had high chairs for baby. Food was surprise holyyyyy molyyyy gooodness. I'm from New York and honestly this is the closest to New York bagels any Florida restaurant can get. Besides that, my partner enjoyed his all nighter and I loved my garden avocado egg sandwhich. read more

Bagels are really good. We got the everything bagel ($2.29) and the cheddar jalapeno bagel ($2.29 +.80). Shmear/cream cheese is a $2 add on. We came in the morning and bagels were constantly being refilled and freshly baked since it was busy. I also love that the hot coffee comes with unlimited refills! They had a medium roast, dark roast, flavored coffee and decaf available when I came. Pro tip - sign up for their rewards program and you'll get bonuses (like free coffee) with purchase. The only thing is that they seemed kind of unprepared for the breakfast rush, but were still friendly. Overall, good casual breakfast spot. read more

So this is my 3rd try First time- 45 minute wait & order was incorrect Second time - order incorrect Third time - order wrong again Fourth time - never I tried read more

I stopped for a breakfast bagel sandwich and WOW, I am glad I did. When I arrived it was very, very busy, most tables were full and there was a line making orders. There were two registers submitting food orders and the kitchen was kicking them out fast. The line was moving very well and everything was hot, even the coffee. I made a simple order for: 2 apple pastry's (one for me and one to take home to my wife), a bacon cheddar sandwich on a biscuit n' gravy bagel and a cup of coffee. Get this - by the time I paid, poured a cup of coffee at the end of the counter, my order was called - I was out the door and on my way home. Not only was this place efficient, but the food was absolutely delicious. I am glad I saw this bagel on the menu board. I will definitely be back and recommend this establishment to others. read more

So I don't know if it's just an off day? But we got delivery and I got a bagel and my girlfriend got the farmhouse egg sandwich and we got it delivered. The delivery was quick. The food was awful. The bagel wasn't warm or hot it was cold. Only toasted on one side. The farmhouse egg sandwich, was cold and over salted. The cheese wasn't melted, the cream cheese was more like a loose aioli. The egg on the sandwich was well done. No runny yolk like there used to be. The sandwich seemed smaller than usual. It was just a bad experience. So we are now heating up the food in the air fryer. read more

Excellent tasting bagels and BERY fresh. I will be back, especially when I have a crew visiting.

Stopped in for a quick bagel on a Saturday morning, and the place was much busier than expected. Took a couple minutes to get up to the register but when we did, the cashier was tremendously friendly and apologized for the wait. My son and I ordered a couple bagel sandwiches, and before ringing us up, the cashier warned us that it would likely be 20 to 25 minutes before we would receive our food, given the busyness of the restaurant. We told him it wasn't a problem, and he offered us a free drink or coffee to enjoy while we waited. We took him up on the coffee offer, and their vanilla coffee but absolutely fantastic. Turns out that 20 to 25 minute wait was closer to about 5 minutes, and we appreciated the under promising and over delivering on the time. Both sandwiches were great, as usual. And the entire experience was much better than expected, given how busy the restaurant was. read more

Just moved to area Einstein fans hope it was off day only ordered a bagel toasted , butter and jelly on side got home had thick butter and strawberry smear , couldn't eat it and left a tip will try again another day read more

this is the third time they have forgotten my simple twice baked hash brown and now when I'm trying to call them, they have put me on hold for 10 minutes and our purpose do not come here. This place sucks might as well go to McDonald's across the street. read more

Service was good and delivered to me even before I got my coffee poured. However, the egg sandwich was cold and I assumed would be warm. I am very disappointed in this new location in Bradenton. read more

If green eggs and ham is what I ordered, I't be right on. The eggs are green. The bagel was rubbery and the service was abysmal. The restaurant is dirty. It's really dead I hear. Now I know why. read more

Another very good bagel Having a bagel sounded good, and it was. I stopped in at Einstein this morning and got their Everything Bagel, toasted, with plain cream cheese. Soft and salty, it was just what I wanted. They now allow eating in and it wasn't at all busy, so I could eat and go rather than go and eat. The staff was fine, got the job done. Looking at their menu board, I saw they offer sandwiches, including something called their Texas Brisket Egg Sandwich that looked really good in the picture. I should try that sometime. I did not see anything about Caribou Coffee, which used to co-exist here. Even though Einstein Bros and Caribou Coffee are owned by the same company, looks like at this location it is just drip coffee now. read more

Coffee is good. Bagels are average. The cost is ridiculous. I spent 60$ for a bakers dozen and a breakfast bagel and coffee. The inline app does not work ' it's a lot of trouble logging in and out a few times. When is Sarasota going to get a privately owned big apple bagel ? I'm sick of this corporate bagel store. read more

The food and service were good. Quick and easy lunch. love that they offer a veggie sandwich.

While traveling down to Sarasota for work, I realized that I completely forgot to pack ANY snacks or foods for my hotel stay. Therefore, each morning I was left hungry and without breakfast. No fear, Einstein bagel is always a decent choice for a quick and easy breakfast. Normally I order an everything bagel sandwich with one egg and bacon. This time was no different. Their everything bagels have an after taste that is literally to die for. I cannot compare them to any other bagel I've ever had - no lie. While getting ready for work, I decided to order online. Since I had some technical difficulties with their online ordering system, which is why I gave them 4/5 stars. Even with those difficulties, my order was ready upon arrival and just as delicious as always. Highly recommend their everything bagel with bacon and cheese. read more

I love stopping at Einstein Bagels and Caribou Coffee when I'm in the area. The bagel sandwiches are hearty and tasty. They've always come out warm. The coffee is always fresh and piping hot! My favorite is the self-serve Vanilla Hazelnut. No need to add creamers or sugar. I'm a black coffee drinker so this is a nice flavored treat without all the calories. Shoot, I drive across town on a Saturday to snag some Vanilla Hazelnut coffee. Service is pretty good. It's always busy which is a true testament to their product. The app is very handy to have because you can order ahead for walk in or curbside. Also they're rewards program and promotions always have some sort of offer that I can use. Plus you get a free sandwich for your birthday. The rewards is the smear to my bagel. Makes the trip that much better. read more

The food was delicious and so fresh. Amazing breakfast sandwich and muffins. They were very busy but so quick with orders and very helpful. Will visit again. read more

Terrible service. Five employees behind the counter, not one greeted the customers waiting line in. After five minutes, I left and walked down to Five-O Donut Co, where I was greeted upon entering even though the single employee was assisting customers. All of the Five-O customers were wished to "Have a wonderful day!" when we left as well. In short, skip unprofessional and lazy Einstein Bros and head over to Five-O. read more

Einstein bagels is OK but the skinny girl behind the counter must've made a bagel that she only eats. I'm a grown man 240 pounds and there wasn't enough egg and meat on that bagel to feed a lizard. read more

Bad place to have bagel and coffee the Mgr.and the staff not friendly, not highly recommended

Capitalism should close places like this. My family and I just waited 20 minutes for a blended drink and two toasted ages with cream cheese. The cashier, and only apparently competent employee, was very kind and remorseful. That being said, this coffee shop needs work. read more

I ordered the new Big Breakfast Burrito and I was impressed. So flavorful and delicious and just the right size. I like my food hot and it was served very hot. It's not made to order but still tastes fresh. The only reason I didn't give this review 5!stars is the restaurant was not as clean as I would have expected. read more

I stop at this Einstein bagels EVERY day....I have for over 9 months now. I order a bagel TOASTED. Not burnt. I just want it toasted. They know who I am. They know how I like my bagels. I don't want to be a crab, but 5 out of 7 days I get a BARELY heated up bagel like this. These girls KNOW how I like my bagel. Today I specifically requested the cashier let the bagel preparer know I wanted my bagel toasted but not burnt. Apparently there is NO communication. You'd also think that when they see my name appear they'd KNOW....Do they not appreciate my money? Moving along to another place who appreciates my business. read more

Bagel was nothing extraordinary (cranberry with plain cream cheese). Chris, who I think is responsible for taking orders was WAY more interested in training a new guy than helping customers. Back to the display case talking about something, took quite a while to turn around and see 2 of us in line. He may have known I was first if he was looking but he proceeded to take the gentleman who came in behind me. He was gracious enough to point out I was first. Listening skills need work, had to ask was it for here or to go after I had clearly stated that with my order. Seemed to take a long time to come out. Visit makes me want to try harder to find a local place for bagels. read more

Best bagels I've ever had. Einstein Bros Bagels makes their own bagels and they are crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. Tons of different flavors to chose from. They also have breakfast sandwiches, lunch items, and coffee, juice, tea. People generally go here for bagels and they do sell them 1 dozen, 2 dozen, ect. 5 stars because I will surly be back read more

Picked up a bacon chicken avocado sandwich and buttered bagel at lunch time. It was made very slow and didn't have any potato rolls left, and they missed giving us the potato salad. We called them that afternoon and the Manager, Judy, said to come back in and she will make it right. We went in again the next day and everything was made perfectly and quickly. The sandwich has great flavor! read more

This location is the worst!!! If I could give zero stars I would, I left my purse in the store along with other customers when they kicked us out. I tried to go back in when I realized and they rolled their eyes at me. DO NOT COME HERE!!! read more

I come here a couple times per month. I don't think this location has gotten an order correct in the past year. Today was no different. I order a chorizo sunrise bagel and a large iced coffee with room for cream. Thankfully it was only that I received a small iced coffee filled to the brim. Also, I am a member of their rewards program and I always have to ask them if they want the phone number, I just think that they should be asking me before I order. Previous reviews talked about lack of communication between staff and I completely agree. Poorly run if they don't communicate and can't get orders consistently correct. read more

I'd never been to an Einstein Bros. before., they were highly recommended by my boyfriend and my uncle. Their soft (not chewy) bagel made an excellent sandwich. There was a small line of about 5 people but it moved quickly. The coffee was great, too! A delightful stop. Two breakfast sandwiches and two coffees came in at $14. Very reasonable for a vacation breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful. Lots of parking. We saw lots of "regular" customers popping in - which is always a good sign. read more

I have visited this establishment over 20 times in my time living in sarasota and they have not once gotten my food right. Do not go here.

You can now get the worst bagel in town and the weakest cup of coffee at the same place! I've come here several times over the years, and I've always been disappointed. Their bagels are not boiled before baking, so they don't have the same texture as an actual bagel. Caribou coffee is usually very good, but the cup I had this morning was so week as to be undrinkable. If you want a decent bagel, head a mile south on 41 and go to Lox N Egg. read more

Order from here weekly. Always fresh and very good. Had an issue with Doordash -their fault-and Einstein quickly corrected issue themselves. Appreciate it! Thanks so much and will be customer always. read more

First time trying the bagels and they were very good glad to see a place that serves bagels in this area
