This place has great bagels and cream cheese shmears. Let me tell you, this place use to be my goto breakfast place on my way to work and occasionally I would have sandwiches there as well. I stopped by for a bagel and coffee a few months ago and I could not have been treated worse by the manager and I have always had good experience here in the past. First off, the place was busy when I stopped in and the manager would not accept my coupon. He also embarrassed me in front of a number of people. It was an african american heavy set man and I forgot his name but he manages this location. I called up Corporate to complain about the incident. The email response I got back was a lax one, from the tone of it I could tell they did not really care about management treating customers poorly and they offered me a free meal. I was surprised even corporate would treat the situation so poorly (especially towards a regular customer). I believe they put out the coupons. In my opinion, the manager should have been coached, snd written up for this incident but that did not happen I'm sure. Also, I believe they should have compensated me fairly, I lost time due to this and it ruined my morning. I have NOT been back since and I don't believe I will EVER be back. There are many other places that want my business, will provide me with food that is just as good (or superior) and appreciate my patronage. I'm disgusted with this chain...... read more

I've been here 3 times and that was 3 times too many. I only kept coming back out of convenience and coupons. The service is horrible, the establishment is not clean. Will never go back- unless I hear they have a change in management. read more

This is my first time at this location and maybe I should have pass on this Saturday visit. I really enjoy their bagels and I know they are very tasty but this location was all over the place. I ordered two bagels and I am still waiting 15 min later..Need to speed things up but not too sure on this because a few customers are returning orders that are not correct.I think I will be visiting during the week..Hay at least this pumpkin bagel is delishhhhhh read more

I have been here many times and the service just gets worse. Often, the order is incorrect and it takes forever to get through the line. The food is otherwise great. read more

This is a convenient place to stop and enjoy a hearty breakfast, it's one of the largest Einstein Bros locations I've been to. I really liked how roomy it was and seeing lot of families enjoy time with one another. I went in for a to-go order and because I went on a weekday morning, there was a bit of a line. I ordered the Sante Fe bagel which was delicious with just a hint of spice! I had to wait about 10-15 minutes for my order. read more

I have been here so many times but this time was not so great. I got the nova lox with no capers. They put maybe a lick of cream cheese smear on it. I asked them for more for my friend and I and the girl working behind the counter with dark brown hair, glasses, and foundation way too dark for her gave me the dirtiest look and attitude. She better check herself when working with customers. read more

What a shame that you cannot get a decent bagel or breakfast sandwich in Springfield/Burke. Einstein Bros. do not sell bagels. They sell round bread that arrives frozen and is steamed up in the store. And they'll even top it with a microwaved, pre-cooked egg for you! Aside from the terrible food, this store is also really dirty. Trash left on tables. Used napkins on the floor. I even saw dried ketchup crusted to the window. I'm not a paranoid germ nut, but this place is just filthy. read more

Seems everything we come here they never have many bagels to choose from. They seem to be poorly manged. I'm amazed they are still in business when they can't get their core product right. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

I agree with all things said by the reviewer from 10/11/16. The only reason this place gets the business is that it's in a great location and the only bagel place in W. Springfield. My husband was a regular and besides taking our kids there on the weekends, he would get his coffee there on his way to work on the weekdays. We've been going for years despite the long waits, wrong orders and just overall, bad service. The last time we went as a family, I just had enough. We waited for 45 minutes in a not-so-busy environment and they had no updates or comments or even comp drinks for a relatively easy order in that time span. No apologies from the manager either and my husband and I said, "no more" and haven't been in since. I can't see any reason why they can't immensely improve their performance and bring in even more business and make their customers happy. It's just totally ridiculous and a disgrace. I think a visit from Undercover Boss is a great idea! read more

Love the spinach Florentine bagel. Getting multiple bagels? Have them toast them and get a tub of cream cheese.

Met a friend here for breakfast this morning. Tried the new bagel thin with light cream cheese. Bagel was so-so (not the fault of this restaurant). The service was good, restaurant was clean (yes there were some crumbs on the table - but no big deal). My friend and I were able to sit and chat for over an hour on a busy Sunday morning. read more

Slowest, most inefficient place on the planet. The bagels are awesome but it takes WAAAAAY too long to get them and this wasn't even early morning rush. Staff is just really slow and the system for completing orders is really inefficient. read more

Not often do I leave a 5 star review solely based on the staff's demeanor, but the people working here are quite pleasant and know what seems to everyone by first name. I don't even know my next door neighbors' names! read more

Stopped quickly to pick up an easy order and One of the three employees was very rude to every customer she came in contact with. It appeared she was very confused on the ordering sequence and would quickly get flustered when people Wouldn't respond to her calling out their name. I had asked for cream cheese on the side and she argued with me initially before realizing that she had failed to place it in the bag for the to go order. I love these bagels but I would request that you assist your employees (her specifically) on understanding what customer service means. read more

Well, I have been going with my girlfriend here for the past few months because we both like bagels, and the bagels are reasonably priced. Today, when we went to get bagels, we payed with a ten dollar bill. The cashier took the ten dollar bill, took out 4 dollars and the rest of the change, and the receipt. He then put the four dollars back on the drawer and gave me the change (coins) and the receipt. When told that he hadn't given us the rest of our change, he started yelling at my girlfriend and I. Instead of fighting, we decided to eat our bagels and leave. I have never been treated this way in any establishment before. I will not be going back for the foreseeable future and if I do, it will not be when this person is working. read more

By far THE worst Einstein Bagels I've ever been to. Two stars because the bagels are fine otherwise it would be a 1 star. The customer service is awful and every time I've gone in, the bagel selection is low to none. This is at 11 am. And it's the simple bagels like chocolate chip. After my third trip in today with no bagel selection, I've decided I won't be returning to this one. Not worth giving my money to when I can get bagels at Panera right around the corner. read more

Picked up Monday special and it was very disappointing. It was so blend and tasteless that I thought I got this from somewhere else. Bagels from the Panera was 10 times better. I am not ever going to buy from here again. read more

I love Einstein's and my go to location is the one in Falls Church but it was later towards the day and they had already run out of most of there (Falls Church) bagels. I called this location to make sure they had it and the gentleman was extremely helpful. I placed an order for a dozen and a half bagels on the phone he did say it would be about an hour. We arrive to the location and all the employees were rude (especially the Hispanic woman, I believe she was a manager) and inattentive besides the gentleman that helped us previously on the phone. The baker definitely rushed on our bagels (we waited for Asiago and everything bagels) which did not have a lot of their distinct topping as they usually would have if made correctly. We arrived home and noticed they missed 3 of my bagels. I called and a young lady answered with a snobby attitude. I already waited 30 minutes for my bagels; what would make me want to come back to a place that had all the extra time and still was able to get my order incorrect? I'm extremely disappointed in my experience. This place needs some re-evaluation. Also, the Hispanic woman accused us of trying to steal cream cheese that we had already purchased but have not yet grabbed until our bagels were done. read more

I work near here and the service is excellent to me. I usually get bagels to go. The price is a little to high for a bagel with butter. But I will pay it because I love there bagels. Need to open more stores. read more

Best bagels in town! Great friendly staff. Busy during morning breakfast rush, but worth the wait.

Good food and coffee. I usually get either the nova lox on a thin bagel or the asparagus mushroom swiss on a thin bagel. The service is sub-par. Usually very slow even at non-peak times. read more

Such a friendly staff! My family and I go about twice a month and they always remember our order. The vanilla hazelnut coffee is also to-die-for! read more

Great food and coffee here but unfortunately the service ruined it for me today. This was the first time I have visited this Einstein bagels in Springfield experience. The woman who served me barely spoke English, and I had to repeatedly say "what" or "excuse me". She seemed a little irritated by this, which is enough to make me not want to come back. read more

Service is PAINFULLY slow and they NEVER get my order right. I literally DREAD certain employees taking my order because I KNOW FOR A FACT that they'll mess it up. One plain bagel toasted twice with butter and one plain bagel toasted once with extra cream cheese. My dad has to constantly get up and go back to get his bagel toasted dark. My most recent experience was one of the worst. MULTIPLE guests were upset or had to leave due to the crazy long wait on maybe 5 orders. The manager (some new guy with glasses) rang my food incorrectly, didn't say anything, then demanded that I pay the difference (which I did without an argument) when I asked for a to go bag. The employees don't care and are SUPER SLOW and CANT GET AN ORDER RIGHT. The food is great but it's ruined by a HORRIBLE staff that never puts enough cream cheese and never cuts the bagels into 4s not just in half like they always do skipping steps. IM SO PAINFULLY DONE WITH THIS PLACE. read more

I try this place over and over again..Bagels I love but the experience is below par. Poor service at its worst and they charge top dollar should be better. No supervision to streamline. Will avoid in future. read more

I live right across the street from this joint, by far the dirtiest, filthiest place ever. The staff gets your order WRONG every single time, even after you repeat the order 5 times. How hard is it to request a toasted bagel with butter? ask someone at E&Bros who has got it wrong 4 times. Yes its a long drive, but head on up to the Main Street Bagel in VA. http://www.mainstbageldeli.net/bagels.htm read more

I normally go here to grab some breakfast really quick and i know it can get pretty busy but I went around 1pm and it wasnt even that packed. I'm annoyed how rude the employees were,especially the cashier. I ordered an Egg White Thintastic Asparagus, mushroom and swiss sandwich with an iced coffee. I can look past unhappy and rude employees but LAZY employees, thats where i get annoyed. The cashier condescendingly told me to make my iced coffee by just putting the HOT COFFEE in this PLASTIC CUP and then putting ice... Did he not realize the ice would melt and water down the coffee since the coffee was piping hot?? Well i was confused and did it anyways and it created a watery-coffee mess that tasted awful. At this point i was like a bit annoyed but not enough to write a Yelp post. So i get home and open the package to my sandwich (which originally COVERED in grease and i had to ask for another bag) and the sandwich was broken into 3 pieces and looked awful. It was sloppily made, which i would understand if they were ridiculously busy like they are in the mornings but there werent that many people in their when i went in!! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - It looks a lot better in the picture than it did in person tbh... - Bagels Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Damn good bagels and spread. Fresh bagels everyday all day. A lot of choices for spreads. Good service.

Einstein is my families usual place to eat on Sunday mornings. That being said, every single time we go, the mess up one of our orders. I have ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese not toasted, and have it come out completely black. I would not recommend this bagel shop. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - This was supposed to be a plain bagel not toasted, but as you can see it was practically burnt. - Bagels Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

First time being at Einstein Bros. Good and quick service. I had the turkey bacon bagel with a cup of coffee it was good, it filled me up and you make your own coffee however you like it so yeah.. the inside isn't what I expected either. I like the environment, lots of friendly faces! read more

I came in today about 20 mins before they closed. They still had tons of bagels and cut them for me!! They even separated the everything bagels from the other bagels. Thank you for the great service. I wish I got the guys name! read more

One employee was very rude and talked down to me. She was a short woman and all I was trying to do was get a bagel and coffee but she made it so difficult and looked at me like I was some kind of lunatic. read more

Monday Nov 20 5:30am. I ordered 3 bakers dozen of bagles; 1 egg bagles, 1 plain and everything bagles, and 1 chocolate chip and cinnamon raisin bagles. First she wouldn't give me boxes, insisted on bags. The first bag she filled was off the rack, so I couldn't count how many bagles she put in the bags. The 2nd bag she only put 11 and I had to remind her that it was supposed to be 13. I asked her if the first bag had 13 and she said yes. Instead of insisting she count it I trusted her. The 3rd bag I was sure she put 13 because I just reminded her. At check out she gave me paper shopping bags to carry my bagles, but the amount of bagles seemed like the bags weren't going to hold up. When I got to work I counted the first bag and she only gave me 12. I'm very frustrated because normally I have no issues with this store but this lady did not do a good job with her service, the gentleman who normally take my order are always very courteous and give great customer service but I did not get that vibe from this employee whom I had never seen at this store before. read more

I came here on a weekday morning to pick-up some bagels to bring to work. This was the first time I've ever been to Einstein Bros. I walked up to order and I requested a bagel box (13 bagels + 2 cream cream cheese). Then the next thing the lady helping me says is, "pay over there" as she points to the register. Not knowing what the ordering process was, I proceeded to the register. I get to the register and tell the woman at register what I ordered. She looks at me a little confused. She asked me if I had selected the cream cheeses yet. I look around and I see the refrigerated section with all the tubs of cream cheese. I told her that I will pick my own. Then she asked me if I wanted to pick my own bagels or if I was ok with the pre-selected boxes. I told her I did want to select my own bagels. So I pay, then she sends me back to the first lady. I was just a little disappointed with the lack of customer care from the first lady that helped me. If I ordered a box of bagels, she should automatically ask me if I want to select my bagels, not just quickly point me to the register. It wasn't until I got to work that I realized the bagels were not sliced in half. Partly my fault because I did not ask, but partly her fault for not asking me to begin with. Service needs a bit of work. I didn't feel very welcome. I felt like I was just being pushed through the line. I could have easily gone to Chesapeake Bagels or Panera or even Wegmans for bagels, but I drove the extra few miles because my co-workers prefer bagels from here. It would have been nice to be treated a little better. I have nothing negative to say about the bagels. Einstein Bros do make good quality bagels and I most likely will be returning to this location again (since it is close to work), but I hope to have a better experience next time. read more

This morning my husband and I were excited to try a new bagel place as we just moved into the area. The second we walked in the door we were greeted by a rude order taker. Kaitlyn was extremely rude and not just to my husband and I but to all of the customers around us. She was complaining that people were taking too long that they were busy. She made a gesture for my husband to hurry up after he took all of 20 seconds to place his order. She complained about the man and the child in front of us who were just looking at the menu before placing their order. And she complained that a man and his family didn't have the entire menu memorized when they were trying to order a half dozen bagels. I am surprised that people weren't leaving the second that they met this young woman. Everyone around us besides this woman was perfectly polite and professional but having someone that rude meet us at the door was enough to ruin our appetite. read more

I love bagels. Really thats it about the place. Their sandwiches are just rip off. I mean a sandwich that cost 8 dollars, no drink, have three tiny strips of chicken and cheese. Servers have difficulty understanding very simple requests. My 14 year old would do better. Line is always long. Not because its busy, as i mentioned you have to repeat the order at least 3 times. They need to be trained again from abc. read more

I was there for 30-40 minutes total on a Thursday morning around 11AM, just to get 3 toasted bagels to go. The wait is terrible for a big chain bagel shop. I have sympathy for the workers, because they're probably understaffed, but that wait is still unacceptable. This also isn't the first time I've waited an obscene amount of time for a few bagels. On top of that, I get home, and they put plain cream cheese on one of the bagels when I ordered strawberry. Slow is one thing, but at least get my order right if I'm going to wait 30-40 minutes for it. I also noticed two other customers whose orders might've been incorrect and went back to the cash register while I was waiting. I'm never going to this location again; I'd rather just drive a little longer to Chesapeake Bagel Bakery (probably would've been faster in the long run). read more

Horrible service. Three people behind the counter at 11:53 am on a Wednesday, I'm the only one waiting - that is, until several people lined up behind me - and none of the employees even bothered to acknowledge the presence of customers. Understaffed? No manager on duty? I don't really care. After waiting for 10 minutes, trying to make eye contact with somebody, I walked out. I've been coming to this location for 5 years and the service has never been great but this is it. Also, they've been getting 2 out of 3 orders wrong! You lost a customer today! read more

Really don't like this place. The bagels are ho-hum, they are stingy with the subpar cream cheese and lox, and the prices are outrageous. Coffee is ok. read more

My husband and I stopped here for lunch yesterday and will not be back. While the food is ok, the restaurant is absolutely filthy. Dirty floors, trash everywhere, sticky/dirty tables and don't even get me started on the bathroom. If the front of the house looks this bad, no telling how nasty the back is. Worst part was the 2 managers sitting and having lunch - clearly this mess doesn't bother them. read more
