| - I ate at the branch across from UNLV. The bagels are nice and chewy, but not too heavy. They aren't REAL bagels, but they won't make you gag, either. They offer a lot of nasty goyishe cup flavor bagels, too. I wouldn't eat those if you paid me. The prices were kind of high for what you get, and the food is very mainstream-trendy. It's the kind of place I go when I'm simply hungry and don't want to think about what I would like to eat.
Einstein's is living down (or up) to my expectations--it's consistently "okay", nothing too wild when I decide I want a bagel and a cup of coffee before my first class in the morning.
My most recent visit moved the rating down. The bulk of the staff was in the back having some kind of "motivational" meeting (the kind with chanting and cheering and all that nonsense). In the mean time, the lunch rush had just started, the few people still working out front were completely overwhelmed, the soda machine was broken, but not every person working taking orders or cashiering was aware of/dealing with it in any way, and everything was basically a mess. For inflated prices, mediocre food, long lines and general chaos, I can stay on the UNLV side of Maryland Parkway, and at least not risk being hit in a crosswalk.
