I feel like Einstein Bros. Bagels is a GREAT choice if there aren't a lot of good breakfast places around, but if you're in an area like Phoenix/Scottsdale where there is so much great stuff to choose from, it really feels a step below.
I've had their bagels and a few of their bagel sandwiches, and I'm never incredibly disappointed, but I'm never incredibly impressed either. All the food is just fine.
That being said, the staff is very nice, the patio is nice ... to sum it up, it's all ... nice ... there are just a lot of places nearby that are a lot nicer.
