I don't have bagels very often but decided to meet my brother today for coffee and a nosh.
We arrived at 11:30, both of us were starved. He ordered a toasted plain with a schmear. (He's a food purist!) I grabbed a lox on pumpernickel with capers and an onion schmear, along with their house coffee.
Our meal was delicious. Einstein's is good for a quickly prepared snack. It's not fancy but is well located and there are lots of great selections. I like their coffee a lot more than many other retailers as well, so try to have some whenever I go. I just wish they carried more sugar-free syrups.
I have had their bagel dogs in the past and enjoyed them. And, of course, the fall season brings pumpkin bagels and the transcendental pumpkin cream cheese. I try to have at least one or two of those during that time!
I recommend Einstein's for it's service and variety!
