went in at 7:30 AM to get a sandwich and a coffee, the service from a few girls was immediately dismissive & more than half of the bagel case was completely empty. i was told store was out of 3 different bagels i tried to order and given no direction on substitutions. i finally asked for a different bagel just to try and find a solution and then they forgot half the items on the sandwich, it was cold to the touch upon immediately unwrapping it and the presentation is less than appetizing. $9 for this sandwich when it looks like this, is cold & you are missing multiple key ingredients is super disappointing. additionally, i tried to order a medium coffee and was told they were out of medium cups & i would have to order and pay for a large unless i wanted a small. used to love it here but i am extremely disappointed & confused with the service and the lack of product stock at 7:30 in the morning?? don’t think i will be returning.

Enjoyed a beautiful morning in the shade. The location is perfectly placed near the train that pops by every so often. Was able to sit at the outdoor seating in the shade and enjoy iced mocha latte and a breakfast bagel. The wind blowing was a great add. Things are getting so expensive, but, what can ya do. I enjoyed the morning.

Update: I reached out to email I was given in response to my review regarding our service and never received a response! Again, terrible service!I just moved here from Maryland where I was a big Einstein frequent customer! Very disappointed in this location in regards to the actual food received. Amount of bacon is so small you can’t even taste it for the cost! I barely got a whole slice of bacon on my whole sandwich.

Reminds me of Cheers - Everyone of the staff knows the customers name & the atmosphere is friendly not rushed & staff is patient. It was my first time but I witnessed a lot & felt welcomed & like a regular. Food was great made fresh & I left out wishing there were more locations in the area.

We ordered two Texas brisket with two eggs each and were charged accordingly. Both sandwiches came with one egg and very little brisket. We’ve tried calling twice to talk to someone about it and no one answers the phone. Time to find a new breakfast spot that is worthy of 20.00 for two breakfast sandwiches.
