Einsteins in general has mediocre bagels at best, and their "schmears" appear to be highly processed. I've generally given up on Einsteins all together because because their food has really taken a nose dive, as has the service. I stopped by this location recently because I was driving by and in a hurry, and wanted a bagel (they're supposed be a bagel store after all!). First, no salt bagels. Aren't salt bagels one of the standards? Second, I ordered my bagel with cream cheese (cream cheese being a $1.50 option) to go and that was my real mistake. Whoever made the bagel didn't even manage to slice all the way through the bagel and put an amount of cream cheese approximately equivalent to a pat of butter on one-half of the bagel. The other half was basically dry. Unbelievable. Needless to say, I was pretty annoyed when I got to work and opened up my bagel. Stick to any of the local bagel joints like Chompies or Kashmans - they have much better bagels, and they will dump a brick of cream cheese on them for you.
