| - I read a review once where someone who had also recently moved from NY to AZ was stating how you'll always be looking for good pizza, good Chinese food, and good bagels. Well, I've given up on pizza because I've resigned to the fact that good NY pizza can only exist in NY and I've found my NY style Chinese food restaurant (complete with Long Island Chinese food prices no less) but bagels, I'm still holding out. I'm super spoiled in terms of bagels because I used to work a deli (Bagel Biz on 110, what what) where the bagels were made fresh every day and I've literally tried every bagel flavor imaginable - guess what? All delicious! But, I digress. Einstein Bro's has decent bagels, decent enough that I come here at least once a week but this is no NY bagel. These bagels are soft, even after being toasted but the flavor is there and I guess that counts for something. The prices are ridiculous though. You could get at least two egg sandwiches with eggs made on the flat top in NY for the price of one of these very artificial looking egg sandwiches so I've never ordered one, mostly because I'm what? Cheap, I'm damn cheap. And they don't call it cream cheese, it's shmear, which sounds gross but you get past it. I've tried the honey walnut and the regular because I'm too afraid to try anything else but if they come out with pumpkin spice, you bet I'm going to try it. It's the consistency of whipped cream cheese which is my favorite. They don't go overboard with the application so you never have to scrape any off but that's a part of the NY deli nostalgia that I miss. At this location the lines are pretty hit or miss, I've left before because they were understaffed and I had maybe ten minutes to get to work after having already waited ten but I don't fault them for being busy. Today, however, there was no wait and I used my free bagel and shmear (with purchase) coupon to get a toasted pumpkin bagel with regular shmear and a strawberry lemonade. They strawberry lemonades come with lids and as I was getting out of my car, the lid was not secured properly and I spilled lemonade all over myself and my car at 7:20 in the morning so now I'm at my desk, smelling sticky sweet and regretting every bit of my decision. But, all in all, I'm a bagel girl and I'll never stop eating bagels so I guess Einstein Bro's has become a staple in my life. Arizona, you win.
