Reviews for Einstein Bros. Bagels in Alexandria, VA
Pathetic excuse for a Bagel store. This morning I went there to get my breakfast, after an excellent first time experience at... the Springfield store, I was super disappointed. First they did not have more than 6 bagel varieties, even though their own menusays otherwise. The bagels looked stale/leftover from previous day. I asked for an Avocado Egg and Cheese on an Ancient Grainbagel, they don't have that type of bagel. The cashier runs across the other counter because he's the only one working and hasto handle other customers while preparing mine, to ring on another counter with cashier machine. I see him applying leftoveravocado which was already going dark (overripe). Seeing that my heart sank and wasn't feeling like to even eat that sandwich.Then I ask for their dark roast coffee(which I loved it from my previous visit to other store), nope, the only coffee they haveis Americano. Go to Dunkin, go to Panera but not this place. My suggestion, they should shut this place down. Read more
In a pinch, I stop here to get a quick cup of joe. They have about 4 varieties and as far as I can tell only one cup size.... $2.32. Pretty good spot for other things on the menu. A man named Hemanta (I think) is always hard at work. Also Quiznos is inthe same building called Randolph Eatery. #convenient Edit: February 5, 2019 - I came in around 130pm and was cravingbreakfast. Ordered a turkey egg and cheddar on a wheat bagel for $4.69 and it was THE BEST! Read more
So disappointing. First, there is no place to sit and eat inside. The tables outside are of no use on a damp or rainy day. To... begin, no decaf coffee or tea. The breakfast bagels were so poor. The "bagels" were more like bread in a round shape. My wife'stoasted bagel was burnt. The eggs were dry. In general, not much flavor. My suggestion is to go to Dunkin' Donuts across thestreet.

A good place to grab a quick breakfast. I enjoyed the farmhouse special (a bagel with eggs, ham, and some sort of delicious... cream based sauce). They had a decent selection of coffee as well. It was in a combined facility with another restaurant andpaying was a bit tricky. You have to go over to another counter on the other side of the restaurant. Read more
I love good bagels, and Einstein is... not a good representation. Their lox cream cheese tastes identical to the Philadelphia... lox cream cheese you can get at the store, and the bagels are little better. Hard pass. Read more
Stopped in for a bagel. At lunch, the place is pretty empty. No variety of premade salads. Friendly service though.
I come here nearly every workday because the food is consistent and the staff is fantastic. Very cheerful, sense of humor. ... Karla, Rose, and Jess make the place what it is. Oh, and there are deals on getting the same thing over and over. I get theegg, cheese, and bacon bagel. It's good stuff! Read more
I was kind of disappointed, my jalapeño cheddar bagel was just ok and not as good as the bagel sandwich I usually get. It was... cold but that could be due to delivery time. We also got a cinnamon bagel with the frosting inside and that was ok also. I wasexcited about trying it but ehhhhh. I usually get my bagels at a different place and I?ll just stick with that. I didn?t realizeuntil after I received the order that there was no bacon which was probably my fault for not noticing. The twice baked hashbrowns were certainly different and I probably would not order that again I had also asked for the bagels to be lightlytoasted and they were not unfortunately. All in all, everything was just ok. I was kinda disappointed but it was worth a try. Read more
