Came here after a very bad and almost scary experience at the bagel place across Sunrise. Service was friendly and professional. Bagels and coffee excellent. Our new bagel place! Thank you for your service. read more

I came in to get some takeout lunch. I ordered two sandwiches, a Nova Lox Sandwich ($9.19), and a Maple House Egg Sandwich with two eggs ($9.29). I had half of each and they were both good, especially the maple one. Service was fast. A good place for an affordable breakfast or lunch. read more

Food and coffee are always yummy, staff are always very nice, it's clean and calm inside.

Tried the country gravy and egg sandwich today. I have to admit I was not a fan. It needs something to give it more flavor. Perhaps a sausage patty. I think I'll stick to Bruggers Vermonter. read more

It's been awhile since my prior review and things have definitely improved over the past few years. The wait can be long but the bagels and breakfast sandwiches are solid and the coffee is usually well stocked and piping hot. read more

Update: I stupidly went back here again this morning and requested the proper cutting for my bagels. I watched and it seem okay. MY MISTAKE: Not checking the order before I left. When I got home, they gave me the wrong bagels! If are desperate and do come here, make sure you CHECK YOUR ORDER before you leave the store. The people who work here are obviously on drugs. I requested they slice the six bagels I purchased. I got home and the bagels were sliced not in half, but they just got like a quarter of the bagel, making it difficult to even slice it a second time. May go back there, as the bagels taste good, but I suggest getting the bagels sliced elsewhere. They obviously don't care enough about their customers to slice the bagels properly. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

You get what you'd expect from any Einstein Bros. The standard selection. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Sadly I got the wrong cream cheese twice and the staff was not very receptive when I asked to have this fixed. read more

Great breakfast or lunch spot. Bagel sandwiches and bagels to go. Friendly fast service and clean joint. We wanted quick bite on Thanksgiving day and they were one of few places open (although shorten hours and closed by noon). Cost was a fraction of what hotel charges for similar item. Lox on bagel was ok but the bagel itself was delicious. Nice touch adding capers and leaving it open faced. read more

Einstein bagels are excellent. Their customer relations are not. I ordered two toasted cranberry bagels after confirming that they had six cranberry bagels available. I paid and waited for my order. After thirty minutes a member of their staff - came up to me to announce "we don't have your bagels." I sarcastically pointed out that "you had the bagels when I ordered them and paid for them". "Well we don't have your bagels", was her terse response. No offer of an alternative bagel and no attempt to return my seven dollars. I left without my money or my bagels. So I walked around the corner and got my bagel at Starbucks. Not much of a bagel shop! read more

Food + coffee was delicious, just what I needed to wake up in the morning! Service was fast and served with a smile which is always appreciated. read more

I love this place. The food is good, the employees treat me like family, and I can snag a tasty bite to eat quickly.

I placed an online order for pickup and they forgot one of the bagel sandwiches. The cookies are usually delicious but this time they were hard and probably old. Disappointed read more

So disappointing to open your bagel and see about enough for a half. Only I had two half's....so chinsey with cream cheese?!

Cold, iced, wait for it... bagel. When you come 6am you would expect at least one metal bin showing which is the hot and fresh choice. Not one bagel was showing its glory and when I got home I realized the staff must have gotten there right when I did. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Sign offers delivery above coffee counter - Bagels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My friend and I have been going to this Einstein's location for many years. We take our dogs, sit on the patio and enjoy our coffee and bagels on weekend mornings. However, this morning we were told by a young, female, very unfriendly employee that "if you can't control your dog, you won't be welcomed here anymore." Apparently someone had complained that the dog had growled at something or someone. So, instead of waiting to be told at some point that "we are no longer welcomed," it was made clear in a loud voice, so all customers could clearly hear, that we will never be going to this Einstein's location ever again. read more

This place has gone down hill dramatically over the past few months. They're open until two in the afternoon and they are almost out of everything (bagel wise) by 12:00 noon. NOT a onetime occurrence! They just shrug their shoulders and look at you like you're from Mars if you say anything. During the week they close at two and have the chairs up on the tables by 1:30. They can't wait to get out of there. They don't set the tone of a going concern trying to build a customer base and grow their business. No excuse... read more

Best. The Good: * Convenient location * Great service every time * Love the texture of the cheese 'shmears' The Bad: * It's not located in Hawaii :( :(! The Weird: * They need bigger water cups! read more

I'm glad there's an Einsteins in Tucson. I've missed them since living in Phoenix. It's a little out of the way for some, but if it's less than a 20 minute drive, I think it's worth the drive for a delicious bagel with lox and eggs and other delicious toppings. Coffee is also pretty good and the prices are fairly inexpensive. read more

Bagels are good... on the smaller side. Tasty though. Fair prices, long line but service with a smile and got our somewhat complicated order totally right which is appreciated! The place was clean and the turkey sandwiches we got to take on a hike later for lunch held up wonderfully. Would return. read more

I come here every week after hiking. I can always count on fantastic service and fresh bagels. Even if the line is long it moves very quickly. If your in the foothills of Tucson, this is the place for bagels , good coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Very Festive today at Einstein Bagels. - Bagels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Had to stop by early in the morning to pick up a couple dozen bagels. I think I may have been the first customer that day! The staff were very friendly and the service was prompt. Bagels were a big hit with the recipients. read more

Grabbed a bagel to go, employees were just chit chatting not even paying attention. Got home and my whole bagel was burnt! I was kicking myself for not checking while I was there. Better off going to Bruegger's at the same intersection read more

I placed an order online the Einstein Bros Bagels catering website, two days in advance and I ordered the All Day Breakfast for the Group (serving up to 20-30 people), delivery between 8:30am-8:45am. I was pleasantly surprised when the delivery person promptly arrived at 8:30am. The delivery person was quite personable and traveled with me from the reception area (up front) through the maze of hallways to our final destination. He also offered to help set up but I was uncertain as to which meeting room I was going to be housed in. Anyway, he left with my order and asked a second time as well as offered to wait a few minutes. Nonetheless, I sent him away as I was certain I wasn't his only delivery that busy morning. I even received ice and a container for the ice to accompany the orange juice. Other than that, the coffee was just enough, assorted bagels, morning pastries and shmears were wonderful. The fresh fruit was also great. EVERYTHING you think you would need came with the order (cups, plates, utensils, and napkins); they even brought the other important stuff we often forget when ordering for a large group like the coffee necessities: creamer, assorted sugars, and stirrers!! In comparison to other bagel places, these bagels appeared to be freshly made as they were just perfect when bitten into. Not too hard and not too soft, perfect to the taste and touch. My meeting was ten times more joyful and interesting because of the quality of food that was catered. Thank you for making my morning meeting rock for a group of strangers! read more

Just what you'd hope for- bagels, shmear, coffee. Quick and friendly service. Pretzel bagels- if you get it warm and with mustard you can almost convince yourself you are eating a soft pretzel. read more

Wow STOP reading the negative reviews! Monica and JJ are a wonderful management team and no matter what time of day I am there they always have a smile (behind the mask). Sundays yes are their craziest day because everyone comes in after church services. I have been there too when they only have a few selections, but go wild and try a new bagel or schmear you will be pleasantly surprised! Their bagels are delicious but don't get anything with lettuce. It's a given the lettuce will wilt with the heat of the ovens. The staff are amazing and know their boundaries. If you are friendly to them they will open up to you and answer any questions concerns or comments with ease. Otherwise they are there to make you your breakfast or lunch. Thank you Monica, JJ, Nathan and Aria for always being consistent with my order! Huge thx to all Kudos read more

Although I think Bruegger's makes a slightly better bagel, and I'm upset Einstein's did away with their sundried tomato shmear, I do love to get breakfast here. Einstein's has great egg sandwiches and coffee. I usually order whatever seasonal egg sandwich looks good, or I'll get a chorizo sunrise or a bacon, egg, and cheese. I occasionally get a latte but will stick with the drip coffee most of the time, because it's pretty solid, and they have a couple varieties. This location can get busy, but they usually usher people through pretty quick. They seem to run out of a lot of types of bagels. I don't think I've ever been in and seen every bagel stocked up. My boyfriend likes the farmhouse sandwich, and they almost never have the hash brown bagel it comes on. I love pumpernickel, and they rarely run out of it, thankfully. Einstein's has a new rewards system. If you sign up with your email, they will send you a lot of coupons. You can now access the coupons with your phone number instead of using email. The staff are friendly, but they need some more training on the rewards system. They seem a little clueless about it. Most of the time, I'm in and out quick with my order, but they seem to move exceptionally slowly when it's not terribly busy. On my most recent visit it was very slow, and I saw a young lady make my sandwiches and leave them sitting for several minutes. She asked three other staff members to wrap them up and bag them, but I guess everyone was too busy. She went on making other customers' food and left mine sitting there, so people who came in after me had their food before I did. I do think the price point is maybe a bit high, but it's on par with similar-concept establishments. I often use their BOGO coupons, so it's quite affordable that way! I wish Einstein's would open a location somewhere on the east side. This is the closest one to my house and it's about 10-15 minutes out of my way. read more

On any given morning you're going to wait 20 minutes in line before you get to even place your order. I'm not sure why that's a thing when it's not like they're picky about who they're hiring...I'm sure there are people who need a job, and that would solve the unacceptable wait times. I'm not sure what to say about the fact that when you order a Nova bagel and are charged for extra lox you're not getting what you are paying for which is an extra ounce. You're also getting four capers divided up between the two halves. And you're getting red onion cut with the thickness of a monster truck tire. I called corporate and was contacted by someone who claimed they were going to be sending me a gift card, never received it. When I followed up I was ignored. Also just so you know how asinine this establishment is... I was charged $18 for ONE SINGLE Nova bagel with an extra ounce of lox. read more

Ordered 2 bagels and one with a side of chips. Picked up order, no chips, no garden spread on veggie sandwich, lettuce was rotten and eggs undercooked. $15.00 and gas wasted here. read more

Man I love Einstein's. Their bagels a fresh and light and creative especially compared to its competition Brueggers Their coffee is very good. I like their sandwich ideas. Everything on a bagel tastes good and they offer everything. Pizza bagels, Hotdog bagels paninis. I wish this was closer to us. There is an opening at a new near by strip mall and every time we walk or drive by we say a little pray that an Einstein's opens up there. read more

Bagels do NOT get any better than this in Tucson! Sure, you may be thinking "But it's a chain, how can I consciously give them my business?!" Two words. Great food. I've been eating here since I was in elementary school (when it first opened) and still love coming for a cup and an Asiago Cheese lox sandwich. In my humble opinion, Einstein Bros is head and shoulders above Brueggers. The bagels are bigger and more flavorful at the former, while the stores retain a slightly cooler environment to relax in and eat your breakfast. read more

A little lunch at Einsein's? Yes, please! I am feeling very content regarding how happy everyone left Einstein's today. My child had a pizza bagel, which he ate every last bite. It looked yummy! S had nova lox & bagel. I pretty much wanted his bagel after I saw it... sliced lox, plain cream cheese, tomato, red onions and capers. I went with my standard order, which was as delicious as it always is. Standard order = toasted sesame bagel with half plain cream cheese and half onion/chive. So very good! The staff is friendly at Einstein's ( I frequent this location and the location on Oracle). Prompt service. Fresh bagels. Can't complain. read more

Been here a few times and do like their bagels. You order at the counter and are served quickly. They have a variety of bagels and different cream cheeses or butter. They also have cinnamon bites (the bagel hole coated in sugar and cinnamon) which is a favorite. The coffee is good and the bagels are very good. There is a pretty good number of tables so you can usually find a seat if you want to eat in. Prices are reasonable. It's located around the corner from the CVS and there is parking there. read more

Awesome experience! Staff is super friendly and attentive. Food is spot on! A definite neighborhood place as the locals congregate here and I can appreciate why. Great food, great staff, great place! read more

I am so stealing their green chile-cream cheese combination that they offer on one of their gourmet bagels. They had some interesting offerings on the menu for lunch. I will have to check those out someday. read more

I think this is the one we came to in Tucson...we came here for lunch and they were very accommodating! They didn't actually have a bacon and cheddar hot open face bagel on their menu (they had a turkey and cheddar), but when i asked if they could substitute, they said yes with no hesitation. And it comes with a tomato on top and a pickle on the side, which is a bonus! I also ordered a side of chicken noodle soup, which wasn't bad! read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - my bacon and cheddar bagel - Bagels Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Though the location should be killer (Swan and Sunrise), sadly this place is never full or even close to full. I've been here 3 times this year, each visit at a different time, and still half full or less. It's telling. While they are slightly (and I say slightly again) less expensive than Bruegger's, I have found this to be true: the bagels are, at best, edible but sadly bland. I prefer Bruegger's any day of the week. I also admit I'm a bit of a bagel snob coming from New York and no place I've been to in Tucson compares with East Coast bagels. Also, the counter help here is fast, but I wouldn't say they are friendly or overly helpful. I think this is an easy fix to earn 1 more star, but they still need to work on their bagels to get my full attention. read more

AMAZING!! There was a very wide variety of bagels which are all great!! The coffee cake is the my favorite sweet EVER. The drinks are delicious. Very fast at getting my order and making the food. Staff is very kind and the tables are always clean. Great atmosphere as well. GO THERE read more

It's Einsteins! Friendly staff, prompt service. Some lady was pointing out that a few tables needed wiped down after an afternoon rush and she was all pissed off. Lady, it's Einstein's not Flemings. Stupid. Anyway, great for a quick bagel and cup of coffee! read more
