It was 6 am and I was hounding yelp to find out where I can get a great tasting with no added sugars cup of coffee. Something that wasn't Starbucks. One that wasn't 500+ calories a cup and for a reasonable price. And something to eat for breakfast, that would hold me over till lunch. I was starving and needed to be Downtown at jury duty by 8am.
Just my luck einsteins is open early! Woo hoo! I forgot that they were one of the few quick-breakfast food places open early, I really didn't want to go to McD's or Jack's. 1 star.
So glad I was able to avoid McDonald's. When I stepped in, no line, score! 1 more star.
I was greeted by the cashier. Smiling and a welcoming attitude. Another star.
The other worker, he seemed like he was just there for the paycheck.
But the girl who helped me was more than helpful. I really appreciated that since I was only running on 2 hrs of sleep and on my way to jury duty at 6 am in the morning.
I got a medium coffee and a bacon and spinach panini. I guess I didn't pay attention to the price of the sandwich because my total came out to $8. $5 Seems kinda pricey for a breakfast sandwich. But the panini was pretty big. And that's what I get for not going to a fast food joint. The medium coffee was $3. I didn't finish the panini so I was able to eat for lunch too. So it wasn't too bad.
I can't remember the last time I was at an Einstein's nor do I remember getting their coffee. So I was joyfully surprised to see that the coffee is self serve. I was happy to see that!!!
I really liked the coffee! I don't like to add sugar to my coffee and just a couple squirts of half and half. They have a couple different flavors of coffee to choose from too!
I forgot what the name of the coffee was that I got. It was a very bold flavor. I really liked it! I love intense flavors. I've had their bagels, but not at this visit. They're delish.
I'll be coming here again for my morning coffee when I'm out and about. :)
