While in Longmont several times a year, we always make it to this location. The service is great and the coffee is hot. We love grabbing a box of bagels and cream cheese for the family. Not need for anyone to make breakfast. I recommend you give them a try.

If you eat at this location you must have money to burn because your food will be burned as well and no one will care!

Only reason I go here is for the bulk bagels and because it's close. Service is slow and orders are usually wrong. Coffee is usually out on weekends, food served cold quite often and the staff always seems disorganized. Who ever owns this place is letting it run just on the name alone. Get more involved please. Shame really, other franchises are run better.

This place is horrible. Don't ever go here go buy bagels at the two grocery stores down the street.

Food is decent. I go there in the mornings and they are incredibly slow. They can't clear a line that's practically out the door in under half an hour.

My wife and I have frequented the Einstein's chain often, and this location has some good and bad points. I like their customer service. It is consistently friendly and attentive. Most of the time the orders are completed quickly. Since adding the coffee specialty drinks, I enjoy their mocha lattes rather than their regular coffee. The one item I am consistently disappointed with is the cream cheese schmear. It is very skimpy compared to other bagel shops. Whenever I order a bagel with lox, despite the high price, that too is a skimpy portion, compared to other bagel shops we have visited. The atmosphere is that of a strip mall, but in the morning, it is fairly quiet after the workers and students rush.

Fine bagels, bad customer service. Don't ask me if I want a receipt like it's optional if I will then need that receipt to get you to replace a screwed up order. I just staying for the weekend and it was the closest place to the hotel. I asked for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a plain bagel. I got no bacon and it was on a cheese bagel. Of course not noticed until I had left. Not that big a deal, but annoying none the less. So I go back the next day expecting the same level of service as a Starbucks, which will happily re-make a botched drink the next day with no receipt. Instead I was offered the senior discount of 50 cents off. And then he asked me if I wanted my receipt. If your policy is that a receipt is necessary to get adequate customer service, then don't make taking the receipt optional.

The bagels are eatable once you scrap most of the cornmeal off the bottom. What's up with the cornmeal? I guess no one can make a good bagel at this altitude or west of the Mississippi. If you never had a bagel at a true bagel shop (non-chain) east of the Mississippi, then you have never truly had a bagel.

Ah, Einstein. The Starbucks of bagels. I have never had any issues with Einstein Bros-I always leave getting exactly what I anticipated, but I suppose that is the purpose of going to a chain restaurant. I have noticed that each time I go in (which honestly isn't all that often) they have added a new menu item. This could be a good or bad thing depending on who you are, but I always like the prospect of trying something new. They also have pretty darn good coffee....

Was really looking forward to a bagel but was disappointed. They gave me the wrong type of bagel (only discovered once I had left) and the tomatoes were unripe and tasteless and onion was in huge chunks rather than fine slices. I since discovered there's a much better source of bagels in Longmont!

Disclaimer - I am a Colorado native and NOT from NY or any of those "bagel snob" places... That said, I think this place has the best bagels I've found locally, but this is a chain so I can't go higher than 3 stars. The bagels are soft enough that they don't break your teeth, but not so soft that you think you're eating Wonder bread. Good selection of sweet and savory bagels, good selection of smears, and lots of coffee options. And pretty darn inexpensive. My kids loved the half dozen candy cane bagels (they're not minty..I asked!...just red and white) with the low fat smear that I brought home, and the onion bagel with veggie smear (low-fat again) that I had for breakfast was great. I had to ask them to use only half the cream cheese they normally spread on, but they did as I asked, and I was happy.

Very good bagels for Colorado. I've been going there off-and-on for 3+ years now. However, whenever I have a 'complicated' bagel order (double cream cheese, double-toasted, open-face, to go) they always get it different every time no matter who's making the food or managing the place. Best bet is to take the raw ingredients to work and toast it and top it there. You get it the way you want it every time that way. Bagels are soft, not the typical NY-style 'hard-on-the-outside' kind. Very fresh. I'd stick to the bagels and steer away from the bagel-dogs and other lunch-stuff that's not a bagel or bagel sandwich. Bucket of 13 bagels with 3 cream cheeses is like $15. Can't beat that.

I really like authentic New York style bagels. My wife's Jewish and I've had Sunday breakfast at her brother's place on Long Island several times. Bagels, Lox (salmon), cream cheese, and whitefish. So I have a certain expectation from bagel places. Einstein's is more of a bagels lite type of place. The bagels are very soft, almost like bread and the cream cheese is whipped and airy. When I stopped by the first time for a bagel (and me in motorcycle gear and helmet in hand), the guy gave me my bagel in a large carry out box which meant it was scattered all over the inside of the box when I arrived at work. My office also gets an assortment of bagels and cheeses every other week from Einstein's. Occasionally I'll go ahead and grab one. I find I have to use half a container of whipped cream cheese to get the flavor I'm looking for. I've started hitting our cafeteria and buying a couple of the real cream cheese containers (the little single serving ones) instead of taking so much of the whipped cream cheese. If you're into the foo-foo pseudo bagels, hit Einstein's. There are at least three other bagel places in the Denver area you can visit for the chewy New York style bagels.

Great, fresh food! Friendly staff. Love this place! Yes, it's a chain, but it's clean, and the coffee is wonderful -- always fresh!

Fairly ordinary bagel chain store. Nice and friendly staff. Bagels are chewy and soft, but not quite what you find in Montreal or New York delis. I'm skeptical of the pizza and sandwich bagels which seem rather overpriced. Nevertheless, the basic bagels are probably better than across the street at the Soopers.
