| jklrjb's Full Review: Einstein Bros. Bagels |
Those who are lucky enough to enjoy NY bagels on a regular basis needn't bother with Einstein Bagels...but since so many of us either must deal with nasty supermarket varieties or else find a decent bagel shop, we flock to Einstein.
The bagels are Einstein are usually quite fresh and of a normal size, which adds to their appeal....note how many places like Dunkin Donuts tend to make these huge, puffed up spaceship-sized things they call bagels. Bagels should be dense and chewy and of a reasonable size. Einstein does the trick well.
There are also many varieties...your typical plain, sesame, onion, garlic, poppy, etc, plus many berry option, cinnamon raisin, cinnamon sugar, chocolate chip....the list goes on. Typically all options are available, and they are often recently right from the oven.
There are lots of cream cheeses available (called "schmears" at Einstein)....including lite, veggie, and various fruity varieties.
Other breakfast items include "pull-apart" cinnamon rolls (with or without nuts), scones (the low-fat ones are not worth it....the regular ones are great!), and various muffins.
For lunch, try a salad or sandwich. Salads are served with a specialty flatbread, and sandwich options include a tasty 99% fat free turkey pastrami! There are also cookies, chips, and other accompaniments available.
There are soft drinks, juices, and of course, lots of flavors of coffee that is quite good....I like the neighborhood blend (high-test, please).
Lines can be long, especially on Sundays around noon.... it's worth the wait though, as this is a high-quality product and just about the best bagel experience around...outside of New York, that is.
