Efficiency does not exist. It takes about 30-45mins to get a $5 cold bagel with barely any cream cheese on it. It's also extremely frustrating when I pay extra for more cream cheese and I don't get any. I recommend the owners and employees go get training in an actual bagel store, because they're so slow!
Where to start with this phenomenal joint? As a USC student, I frequently visit Einstein's to pick up a honey wheat bagel smeared with honey almond "shmear" (my personal favorite), which is what Einstein's calls their cream cheese spread that comes in a variety of flavors, like maple, traditional plain, or the seasonal pumpkin. The bagels aren't even the best part--that honor goes to Einstein's coffee, which is self-professed "darn good," and I would have to agree wholeheartedly. Einstein Bros sets the bar high for breakfast food.
You wait in line for 20 minutes to ask for a bagel with a certain type of spread. You order, give them the $5 for one bagel, and wait even longer. Once you finally get the bagel you expect your $5 you paid for the 3 seconds of labor to spread the cream cheese on the bagel is suitable. Instead, you are given a cup of cream cheese and a heated bagel. WHAT IS THE $5 FOR? A terrible business that takes advantage of young, gullible, broke college students.
Love these and I wish there was a shop in northern Columbia!
I waited at least 30 minutes among a sea of white girls to be charged $6 for a sloppy bagel. My friend who ordered the same exact bagel somehow paid way less than I did.
