thanks for the strawberry spread in compensation for running out of plain bagels but at the very least yall could've put something on your website for the online orders saying "we ran out of plain bagels." girl idk whats going on inside ur store im a busy woman and now my taste buds r angry bc they were expecting a scrumptious cream cheese plain bagel. especially offended as an ibs warrior bc all the other bagel options made my digestive system repulse and cry read more

I love their online ordering process, it's so easy. I just use the app, choose my order. Usually, a bagel with cream cheese and tomato (my fav) or occasionally an egg sandwich. Then I drive to whichever location I've ordered from that's close to me. My order is always waiting for me. I grab it and go. My orders have always been accurate and staff members greet me when I come in. This streamlines my life when I need it to. I appreciate the efficiency. Their bagels are good when I'm craving one quickly! read more

I ordered my avocado bagel and coffee online. It was ready when I got there. Usually I love this place but today I am not impressed. My avocado bagel with tomato barely any avocado on it. Usually there is plenty to cover most the bagel. Very disappointed today. A previous time I ordered hazelnut coffee online. When I went to pick it up, they were out of it. I was in a hurry and couldn't ask for some. read more

Einstein Bros. Bagels - Avocado bagel with tomato - Bagels Near Me - Vista, California

Ordered a cinnamon that I returned. They put it in the ba upside down after heating it so all the frosting slid off and got all over the container. Also ordered an apple cinnamon bagel. It was flat, almost like something Happened when making the dough? The service was good, they were friendly and quick, and gave me no trouble about the refund, but the product itself was disappointing. read more

Dropped in to grab a bite. Ordered the new hot honey and was glad I tried it! It's creamy, tasty and filling. Definitely a hit. The place is clean, staff are friendly and parking was a cinch. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in here again when in the area. Be back soon. Be sure to use their app to order ahead... Saves you time and money! read more

Finally used the app to order. Ordered the bakers dozen bagels, and only got eleven and half. Three Jalapeño cheddar, four cinnamon, four maple and the top half of a cinnamon. They were sliced, as requested, but the order was incomplete... Count your Bagels! read more

Second time to come here and second absolute failure of a breakfast. Einstein was in my line of travel with limited time for breakfast. I ordered the avocado bagel. Avocado was not ripe and had no flavor at all. I ended up taking it off and eating a dry bagel. read more

I love their bagels. They are very chewy and moist. The service was very good. Very clean. I do recommend this place. they have a very good selection of bagels. The woman who helped me with name Melissa she was very helpful. They even slice them if you request it. I definitely can see myself being a regular best bagels I've had. read more

Visited the Einstein Bros. in Vista on a Sunday around noon and had a pretty good overall experience. I ordered the brisket bagel, which had good flavor and tasted fresh, but it could have been warmer. By the end, the bagel itself had gotten a little too soft, and I was hoping for a bit more structure. The vanilla cold brew was good, though, and made the meal better overall. The staff were friendly, helpful, and patient with our questions. We got our food in under 10 minutes, which was great for a busy midday weekend visit. The store was clean, bright, and surprisingly calm for the time of day. Prices felt fair, but the kiosk's default tipping percentages were higher than I'd expect for a counter-service place, not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable. I'd come back, though next time I'd probably choose a different sandwich in hopes of getting something served hotter. Overall a decent visit. read more

Thank you Kristie for a wonderful experience here! She offered me a free bagel sandwich since I was there at the end of the day and very pregnant. This location is awesome and easy to get to. Really close to other great businesses as well. The interior is fresh and clean. Employees are quick! read more

I love a bagel but hate the fact that staff act like it's a burden to get your order correct . Sorry for the poor review but make better choices to correct the issue . Happy Friday read more

Friday the 13th. Right before lunchtime. Place was busy. Staff was super friendly and hustled. They had a computer glitch so it delayed everything a little bit, but they kept us informed and the customers all hung in there. I got a veg out with avocado lunch sandwich on the ancient grain bagel and it's absolutely delicious. The red onions are really good not too hot but just right. Plenty of parking. Super convenient location. Staff definitely works together nicely. Casual. read more

Sometimes the best fumbles on quality. We got a bad batch ..... didn't realize it till we got home and got busy and forgot. Some of the bagels looked like imposters from what we were used to. Maybe they are training a new bagel chef.... Still, someone fell asleep and let some puffed up hockey pucks get through. read more

Finally we stopped here (formerly Starbucks place) to get some bagels to go. We got 2 blueberry ones just to enjoy it lunch time. Well, we are originally from the East Coast (NY, NJ) so we cannot compare them, but for the North County they are pretty good (on a level with Garden State Bagels place) and much better then Albertsons bagels. read more

Happy to have Einstein in the area as a quick breakfast option. We ordered the Maplehouse Egg Sandwich and Garden Avocado Egg Sandwich (+bacon) on this trip. I was a little hesitant about the Maplehouse because I thought it might too sweet. The menu's image with long strands of maple syrup drizzle had me wanting it. Delicious. A balance of sweet and savory. I would definitely order it again. My husband's Garden Avocado was tasty as well. The roasted tomato shmear really makes the sandwich come together. Nice to switch bites between the two sandwiches. My usual is the Farmhouse Egg. I love the crisp hash brown bits of the bagel, the shmear. Yum! Glad to have a few sandwich options I can choose from and know they'll deliver. Einstein definitely knows what they're doing Their sandwiches are hearty, a great option for lunch when you don't have a lot of time. I mostly order on the app so I can use deals. Not a fan of their customization which defaults two eggs, an up-charge. Sandwich photos always show two eggs but the price is really only for one egg which is what I usually want anyway. Just FYI. read more

OMG. Could you be any slower I walked in at 8:30 Two cashiers each with a customer One customer ordered a bakers dozen and a few other options, watching her order and watching the cashier take the order for Classic The other was a small order of took forever Than one cashier went to actually fill the order while the others still struggled with his customer So there I am waiting in line while one cashier is packaging in order and the other struggling finally, it's my turn. I placed my order and I present a coupon for two free bagels. What a cluster the young cashier had no clue what to do struggled we had to get a manager involved to process a coupon. 17 minutes later, I'm out the door Also no one even or acknowledged me or the people behind me I guess they were busy, but they need to have two dedicated people at their cash registers read more

I ordered two farmhouse sandwiches and the cashier repeated my order and somehow they still managed to only give me one sandwich so I got to watch my father eat his sandwich and I got to sit and watch. This happens way too much to me every time I get some food in Vista. This city is full of incompetent people and I can't wait to leave forever. Stop hiring kids with zero ambition and 100 percent entitlement, because this is what you get. Stop paying kids with no goals or discipline $20 an hour when literally an automated service could do the job for free. I can't wait for robots to replace minimum wage workers. read more

Einstein bagels are freshly made every day. They are delicious, soft and chewy. Just the way I like them. They have a wide variety to choose from- savory and sweet. The service was great. I ordered 2 vegetarian egg sandwiches and received one with bacon. Since I don't eat bacon, I returned it and they made me a new sandwich. They let me keep the bacon sandwich which I gave to my wife. I also ordered a dozen Everything Bagels but they ran out. Instead of waiting 30 minutes for them to bake a new batch, the manager let me choose the premium bagels (jalapeño cheese) at no extra cost. He even gave me a few extra bagels. Thank you! The ambiance is your typical air conditioned Einstein store with tables and chairs to dine in if you prefer. I recommend this particular Einstein location since the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

I was glad a new Einstein bagel opened up. The location appears clean and the bagels were good and fresh. Customer service was not good. I was ignored even though there were three staff and no other customers. Short African American girl was giving me dirty looks like she had a chip on her shoulder. Then they demand a tip, even though they don't deserve it. read more

The toast on the bagels has been a lot better lately. My go to spot for a quick breakfast!

The energy of the store when you walk in is amazing. Clean and friendly. Foods fresh and yummy

Overcharged & they messed up the drink. Was overcharged over $2 more for Happy Hour "deal"! They could not say why & only refunded 1.99, which would have been the same cost of the drink & bagel separately - so what is the "deal" you are supposed to get? Customer service from Kristine was horrible. She was very rude. Another employee told her to refund me completely - that would have been better if they wanted to keep a customer. I won't be back here ever. Then, to add insult to injury, they made the drink wrong! Bad service for mediocre food. If you really like this place, find another location. read more

All the workers are pretty cool and give good reccomendations if you ever ask, don't know how anyone would rate lower than 4 stars

This morning I am highly disappointed in Einstein bagels! I am a regular customer whom typically starts off the morning with a nice cheddar and jalapeño bagel but to my surprise, upon ordering, I am told that "We are out of cheddar cheese!!" Doesn't quite makes sense for a company who sells sandwiches bagels, and etc. on a daily! I have spent numerous mornings coming to this business and have never had an experience like this. However the horror doesn't stop there. I then attempt to walk over to the cooler that is at customers access to purchase cream cheese and they're out of regular cream cheese as well. Help me make sense of this all?! Unfortunately I am met with negative results when asking if they may have some in the back! instead I am referred to hot honey cream cheese for my dozen worth of bagels. NOT SATISFIED AT ALL! My morning is genuinely ruined! And due to the experience, I will no longer be returning back to Einstein bagels! read more

Ooooh so yummy!! Friendly staff, quick service & SUCH YUMMY BREAKFAST! My mother in law recommend this place to us shortly after we moved out to CA - we will be back :) read more

Delicious! We ordered online service was quick and folks were friendly. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are yummy. The cracked black pepper cream cheese on the farmhouse sandwich is so good. Very nice addition to the area. read more

Amazing staff and service! We've used their catering service a couple of times now and every order comes out perfect and ready on time. I couldn't be more pleased with this locations team! read more

I guess you have to get there early in the morning if you wanna warm one... They're always running low on my favorite Chocolate chip bagels. The atmosphere is very clean, comfortable and relaxing a great place to go and have a bagel and do your homework for school. The mployees are very nice. read more
