| - In my search for the best bagel in Pittsburgh, I bit the bullet and walked into the Einstein Brothers bagel shop on Greentree Rd, which doesn't show up as existing on Yelp! for some odd reason. But believe me it's there right next to Starbucks and the Olive Garden.
The menu is extensive with breakfast served anytime up until closing at four. I've had many different items on the menu including the eggwhite and turkey sausage breakfast bagel. It's wonderful on the asiago cheese bagel, whole wheat, and the good grains bagel. The turkey rueben excels on pumpernickel bagel and the rye bagel, and is easily the heartiest of the sandwiches.
I have a deep seated love of nova lox with all the fixings. Einstein Bros does it right with a nice schmear of cream cheese, a thin slice of lox, sliced purple onion, tomato, and capers. This is how to enjoy breakfast, and with a cup of their French roast coffee, it's a great way to start the day. Beware, the lox and bagel breakfast can have a whopping 600 calories, I lighten it up by putting it on a bagel thin, and having them use the light cream cheese. Have the bagel toasted.
After all the tastings I've come to the conclusions that I really like Einstein Bros bagels, especially the good grains bagel. They have great sandwiches, soups, sides and coffee. Oh and a lemon pound cake that surpasses Starbucks!
