| - I have gone to the Einstein Bros Bagels location in South End over the years before they opened in Myers Park, as the only two Charlotte locations previously were South End or in downtown. The chain has expanded recently in the Charlotte area, opening in various locations. This location is closer to my home so I dropped in.
The Myers Park Einstein Bros might not have the charm of being in a converted 1970s gas station, but what it lacks in charm or originality (looks like a knockoff Panera from years past) it redeems itself with its spaciousness and comfort.
I ordered a Nova Lox & Bagel with coffee for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised (nowhere near Zabar's quality, of course). When you are craving bagels and lox, this hits the spot pretty decently. The coffee was on the watery side, but otherwise had a decent flavor. Einstein has never particularly had good coffee anyway, but their bagels are good. It's called Einstein Bros Bagels, not Einstein Bros Coffee.
The staff was pleasant, but the space lacks a designated opening space to get the food to the patrons, which forced me to walk past people in line to get to the food.
Overall it is good for what it is, and you'll get what you expect to.
