I frequent Einstein Bagels to satisfy my appetite for a bagel. I grew up eating breakfast in New York bagel shops. In my opinion, they are superior to Einstein Bagels in taste, and value.
However, I now reside on the other side of the continent; where chain shops are generally my go to place for bagels. I feel that Einstein Bagels [E.B.] serves tasty bagel sandwiches and coffee. Their bottomless coffee is their strongest point. A point where E.B. is superior to New York bagel shops. E.B.'s prices are high. I usually buy a cup of coffee and bagel with cream cheese. The least expensive. That will cost $5. I would like to buy a BLT or lox bagel meal more than occasionally. Their prices are too high. for sandwiches that I am used to paying far less. In my opinion, E.B. would go up one star, if they included coffee in a value meal kind of deal.
This location is along the hyper busy Eastern Avenue corridor. I've had to park slightly out of the way due to the parking lot filling up.
Return Factor: I'll probably return.
