I love this place. They serve excellent bagels and drinks. Their coffee is hot, and very delicious. Einstein has many different bagel types that are all good. The atmosphere of the dining area feels very cozy. There are several electrical outlets in the dining area and you can usually find a spot. There are lots of different ways you can get your bagel prepared. You can have it toasted, buttered, sliced, and much more. The workers there are very friendly and will always remake your bagel if needed. Overall, this places is amazing! I go here all the time! Some of the other things Einstein offers is that there is free WiFi. The WiFi is very slow, however, and my iPad Air struggles to load most websites. Apps usually work well, however. Einstein also caters. You can also get a "Box Of Bagels" to take to an office party, for example. If you have never been here, you should really check it out!

Just one comment: how could a high volume bagel place be so poorly managed that it runs out of plain bagels (and three other varieties) before 8:15 am? After being informed of the lack of bagels, the employee just shrugged as I walked out the door.

I want to start off by saying that I'm a frequent customer at Einstein Bagels in Royal Oak on Woodward. This Einstein's runs a totally different operation, and clearly by the 1 star rating, it's not in a good way. NORMALLY, I would place my order while the person enters into the computer what I want. Then, the "assembly line" would make my food. Then I go to the cash register and pay for said meal. THIS experience was much different. And I've been to this specific Einstein's before, but I've never had as terrible an experience as today. Today, my fiance and I went in and wanted to order 2 simple things. The Sausage, Egg and Cheddar breakfast sandwich with egg WHITE. Simple right? Well, the lady at the counter gets half of my fiance's order... instantly throws the egg in the microwave (not listening to his order) and says ok, you may step down to the other register and pay... When I say "We're together" and I say I want the same thing. And my fiance repeats, she ALSO wants egg whites. To which the lady nodded. So we obviously figured she heard. Unfortunately, she did not. So this order was all taken by her, not put into the computer. Then, we walk to the register. The lady at the register was so damn annoying in her voice-- shes yelling at another customer that she got a coffee cup out for him and he didn't take it. So that's just a side rant-- When we were talking to the cashier, we had to repeat the order. We even told them we had egg whites. So we were charged for them. Get to my store to eat the breakfast. Yellow Egg-- and it's totally disgusting, because it's FAKE egg. Hey, At least their coffee is awesome..... Silver lining??

This particular Einstein Bros Bagels location is not as great as others I have been to. I stopped in today at 8AM and they had already run out of several bagels varieties, including my favorite, cinnamon sugar! There were only a few left to choose from, so I opted for a French toast bagel with was amazing! It actually tasted like French toast. I was super impressed. I also ordered a large white chocolate mocha. However, it took forever for me to be waited on. There were several people behind me waiting to be acknowledged as well. I stood by the "order here" register for a good 5-6 minutes before somebody finally came over to me & asked what I would like. There were only two people behind the counter, so I tried to be patient, as I'm sure it is hard to take orders, prepare orders, and work two registers with only two employees, but nobody was even looking at me or acknowledging I was there the entire time I waited! The entire process of getting my bagel and coffee took like 15 minutes, which is quite a long time compared to other Einstein Bros Bagels, or any bagel/coffee place is general. I went from being early to work, to being borderline late. This location is in need of some better customer service, morning preparation (bagel-wise), and apparently more morning staff! My bagel and coffee was good, but the location is lacking much to be desired.

Very slow and rude service today when I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, employee placed in toaster and then walked to back of the kitchen. Another employee asked if I had been helped I said yes but that my bagel was now sitting getting cold. She ignored me after I said yes and moved on to next (regular) customer. I moved on to register to pay, explained that my bagel was still sitting there. Manager ignored my plea and asked for payment. After receiving change it finally clciked that I hadn't gotten my order. Bagel was finished and served to me cold. Got a "sorry the wait" from the second employee and was sent on my way. This location needs a major change

Haven't been to an Einstein Bagel in probably about 10 years - not joking. I went quite a bit as a teenager, but once I was introduced to Dunkin & Tim Hortons, I was converted. Tim Hortons coffee is like crack...and I became a junkie for it! I've since been able to kick that habit, and have coffee at home more often than going out for it. Anyways - I came across a free Thintastic & schmear coupon this week, valid for today (01/15/14). I stopped in today for my freebie & O...M...G! They asked what kind of cream cheese I wanted, and I was directed down to a menu of delicious varieties. Honey Almond cream cheese. Say no more! I wasn't planning on getting anything else, but decided to order a coffee to try them out. $2.11 for a medium coffee. A little more than Tim Hortons $1.59 medium coffee, but you also can't get Vanilla Hazelnut coffee at Tim Hortons either. It was awesome! That free coupon spawned a dangerous discovery for me today. Definitely getting more Einstein in my life!

An Einstein is an Einstein...you know what you're getting when you walk through the door. I wanted a bagel, free wifi, and a place to kill a half hour. I got here just before the lunch rush so there was no waiting. My asiago bagel w plain cream cheese was tasty. The wifi was strong. But there is nothing comfortable about the big dining area of tables, I felt like everything I was doing was on display. Soon, the lunch rush came in and the place got very crowded and full of kids. Very loud as well. Difficult to hold a conversation, let alone focus. Einstein is a good place to grab a bagel/coffee/sandwich if you're going to run in and run out. But not the best place to stick around at long after you've eaten.

Einstein has become my breakfast stop on most Saturdays prior to work. I like to think that since I'm working on Saturdays I deserve to start my day with a little something. What I always find amazing is that every time I'm in line, I'm following a senior ordering a Power Bagel, typically toasted and dry. For all the years I have been a patron of Einstein I have no idea what the secret behind the Power Bagel is? I wonder what gives them their strength? Or maybe it's just these geriatrics think they will have more power after? I just want to eat them after a He-Man like exclamation, "By the Power of Einstein! . . . " More frequently than not I order an Asiago bagel toasted with Garden Veggie schmear. Sometimes I do give in to the Everything, but they have too much fennel and not enough salt, it's weird. They do offer fancy omelet-y sandwiches which are microwaved to order but I always find them to leave the bagel kind of soggy--still delicious, but soggy. I usually grab a coffee too if I know I'm the only at work who drinks it, because, yes, I can be that lazy when Saturday morning comes so quickly after a late Friday night. Einstein fell into the winning slot for my breakfast options after Bruegger's moved from 13 to 14 Mile Road, making them just beyond where I work, and therefore too far to go when time is of the essence. I will say the staff is always very friendly despite the early hours, and they can get people in and out of the restaurant quickly--even when waiting for Power Bagels to toast only to be enjoyed of Sudoku and complaining about the weather/politics/health. I will give Einstein a point too for their pumpkin bagels and pumpkin schmear in the Fall, but I'm a sucker for anything pumpkin. I have also on occasion stopped and bought a "Bagel Bucket" which constitutes of a lucky baker's dozen of bagels and two tubs of schmear for like $13.00 (maybe $14.00?). Either way, it's no that much more when you consider spending $6.00 on breakfast for one--sometimes it's nice to start a workday with bagels for all! At the holidays I think they even gave me a $5.00 gift card for buying a bucket. Let it be known that despite the name, the "bucket" may appear in bags. Alas, what can you do? Someday I will have to stop in for lunch, they do offer salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and soup as well as a full coffee bar, though Starbucks is right next door. Einstein's is a fine place for a quick breakfast on Orchard Lake Road. I will probably continue to stop in because it's convenient and it's kind of hard to mess up a bagel and cream cheese.

I've never been a fan of bagels until my girlfriend got me some one morning and now im a believer! I love the blueberry bagels with a side of turkey chili. I'll stop by to get some every chance i get even if i was running late in the morning. i also love the breakfast wraps and egg paninis if im looking for something different esp during lunch time. What makes it even better is the starbucks next door! both my favorite bagel and coffee all in one go what else can i possibly ask for other then a jetpack that will fly me thru the morning traffic while i enjoy my bagels and coffee.

Schmear, schmear????You must schmear that part to get a good finish. Who said that? Schmear??? I am at work and somebody says to schmear the part, an engine part. It totally made my mouth water for an Einstein bagel. I started to think about the Asiago Cheese bagel and a SCHMEAR.....I had to have one. Wait, no Einsteins around the plant. OK...get one on the way home. I can't, I left work too late. OK, by now I was going crazy, I had to have one. The next morning I left a little late 5:30am just to get a bagel. I did get one, Asiago Cheese with a schmear of plain cream cheese toasted. Oh so good. The coffee is pretty good as well. In fact I prefer it over the Starbuck's next door. This location is always welcoming you with a smile and a "good morning". I even pay for a week full of refills and bring my cup in the morning and get the $1 refill every day. Fast and cheaper....Oh, and once in a while I add that bagel. GOOD MORNING Farmington!

I'll stop by to get some every chance i get even if i was running late in the morning. i also love the breakfast wraps and egg paninis if im looking for something different esp during lunch time. What makes it even better is the starbucks next door! both my favorite bagel and coffee all in one go what else can i possibly ask for other then a jetpack that will fly me thru the morning traffic while i enjoy my bagels and coffee.

Schmear, schmear????You must schmear that part to get a good finish. Who said that? Schmear??? I am at work and somebody says to schmear the part, an engine part. It totally made my mouth water for an Einstein bagel. I started to think about the Asiago Cheese bagel and a SCHMEAR.....I had to have one. Wait, no Einsteins around the plant. OK...get one on the way home. I can't, I left work too late. OK, by now I was going crazy, I had to have one. The next morning I left a little late 5:30am just to get a bagel. I did get one, Asiago Cheese with a schmear of plain cream cheese toasted. Oh so good. The coffee is pretty good as well. In fact I prefer it over the Starbuck's next door. This location is always welcoming you with a smile and a "good morning". I even pay for a week full of refills and bring my cup in the morning and get the $1 refill every day. Fast and cheaper....Oh, and once in a while I add that bagel. GOOD MORNING Farmington!

This particular Einstein Bros Bagels location is not as great as others I have been to. I stopped in today at 8AM and they had already run out of several bagels varieties, including my favorite, cinnamon sugar! There were only a few left to choose from, so I opted for a French toast bagel with was amazing! It actually tasted like French toast. I was super impressed. I also ordered a large white chocolate mocha. However, it took forever for me to be waited on. There were several people behind me waiting to be acknowledged as well. I stood by the "order here" register for a good 5-6 minutes before somebody finally came over to me & asked what I would like. There were only two people behind the counter, so I tried to be patient, as I'm sure it is hard to take orders, prepare orders, and work two registers with only two employees, but nobody was even looking at me or acknowledging I was there the entire time I waited! The entire process of getting my bagel and coffee took like 15 minutes, which is quite a long time compared to other Einstein Bros Bagels, or any bagel/coffee place is general. I went from being early to work, to being borderline late. This location is in need of some better customer service, morning preparation (bagel-wise), and apparently more morning staff! My bagel and coffee was good, but the location is lacking much to be desired.

Very slow and rude service today when I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, employee placed in toaster and then walked to back of the kitchen. Another employee asked if I had been helped I said yes but that my bagel was now sitting getting cold. She ignored me after I said yes and moved on to next (regular) customer. I moved on to register to pay, explained that my bagel was still sitting there. Manager ignored my plea and asked for payment. After receiving change it finally clciked that I hadn't gotten my order. Bagel was finished and served to me cold. Got a "sorry the wait" from the second employee and was sent on my way. This location needs a major change

Haven't been to an Einstein Bagel in probably about 10 years - not joking. I went quite a bit as a teenager, but once I was introduced to Dunkin & Tim Hortons, I was converted. Tim Hortons coffee is like crack...and I became a junkie for it! I've since been able to kick that habit, and have coffee at home more often than going out for it. Anyways - I came across a free Thintastic & schmear coupon this week, valid for today (01/15/14). I stopped in today for my freebie & O...M...G! They asked what kind of cream cheese I wanted, and I was directed down to a menu of delicious varieties. Honey Almond cream cheese. Say no more! I wasn't planning on getting anything else, but decided to order a coffee to try them out. $2.11 for a medium coffee. A little more than Tim Hortons $1.59 medium coffee, but you also can't get Vanilla Hazelnut coffee at Tim Hortons either. It was awesome! That free coupon spawned a dangerous discovery for me today. Definitely getting more Einstein in my life!

An Einstein is an Einstein...you know what you're getting when you walk through the door. I wanted a bagel, free wifi, and a place to kill a half hour. I got here just before the lunch rush so there was no waiting. My asiago bagel w plain cream cheese was tasty. The wifi was strong. But there is nothing comfortable about the big dining area of tables, I felt like everything I was doing was on display. Soon, the lunch rush came in and the place got very crowded and full of kids. Very loud as well. Difficult to hold a conversation, let alone focus. Einstein is a good place to grab a bagel/coffee/sandwich if you're going to run in and run out. But not the best place to stick around at long after you've eaten.

I love the peanut butter and jelly on a plain bagel! Something about the bagel makes it so much better than your regular pb&j. The service is always great!

I love this place. They serve excellent bagels and drinks. Their coffee is hot, and very delicious. Einstein has many different bagel types that are all good. The atmosphere of the dining area feels very cozy. There are several electrical outlets in the dining area and you can usually find a spot. There are lots of different ways you can get your bagel prepared. You can have it toasted, buttered, sliced, and much more. The workers there are very friendly and will always remake your bagel if needed. Overall, this places is amazing! I go here all the time! Some of the other things Einstein offers is that there is free WiFi. The WiFi is very slow, however, and my iPad Air struggles to load most websites. Apps usually work well, however. Einstein also caters. You can also get a "Box Of Bagels" to take to an office party, for example. If you have never been here, you should really check it out!

Just one comment: how could a high volume bagel place be so poorly managed that it runs out of plain bagels (and three other varieties) before 8:15 am? After being informed of the lack of bagels, the employee just shrugged as I walked out the door.

I want to start off by saying that I'm a frequent customer at Einstein Bagels in Royal Oak on Woodward. This Einstein's runs a totally different operation, and clearly by the 1 star rating, it's not in a good way. NORMALLY, I would place my order while the person enters into the computer what I want. Then, the "assembly line" would make my food. Then I go to the cash register and pay for said meal. THIS experience was much different. And I've been to this specific Einstein's before, but I've never had as terrible an experience as today. Today, my fiance and I went in and wanted to order 2 simple things. The Sausage, Egg and Cheddar breakfast sandwich with egg WHITE. Simple right? Well, the lady at the counter gets half of my fiance's order... instantly throws the egg in the microwave (not listening to his order) and says ok, you may step down to the other register and pay... When I say "We're together" and I say I want the same thing. And my fiance repeats, she ALSO wants egg whites. To which the lady nodded. So we obviously figured she heard. Unfortunately, she did not. So this order was all taken by her, not put into the computer. Then, we walk to the register. The lady at the register was so damn annoying in her voice-- shes yelling at another customer that she got a coffee cup out for him and he didn't take it. So that's just a side rant-- When we were talking to the cashier, we had to repeat the order. We even told them we had egg whites. So we were charged for them. Get to my store to eat the breakfast. Yellow Egg-- and it's totally disgusting, because it's FAKE egg. Hey, At least their coffee is awesome..... Silver lining??

Einstein has become my breakfast stop on most Saturdays prior to work. I like to think that since I'm working on Saturdays I deserve to start my day with a little something. What I always find amazing is that every time I'm in line, I'm following a senior ordering a Power Bagel, typically toasted and dry. For all the years I have been a patron of Einstein I have no idea what the secret behind the Power Bagel is? I wonder what gives them their strength? Or maybe it's just these geriatrics think they will have more power after? I just want to eat them after a He-Man like exclamation, "By the Power of Einstein! . . . " More frequently than not I order an Asiago bagel toasted with Garden Veggie schmear. Sometimes I do give in to the Everything, but they have too much fennel and not enough salt, it's weird. They do offer fancy omelet-y sandwiches which are microwaved to order but I always find them to leave the bagel kind of soggy--still delicious, but soggy. I usually grab a coffee too if I know I'm the only at work who drinks it, because, yes, I can be that lazy when Saturday morning comes so quickly after a late Friday night. Einstein fell into the winning slot for my breakfast options after Bruegger's moved from 13 to 14 Mile Road, making them just beyond where I work, and therefore too far to go when time is of the essence. I will say the staff is always very friendly despite the early hours, and they can get people in and out of the restaurant quickly--even when waiting for Power Bagels to toast only to be enjoyed of Sudoku and complaining about the weather/politics/health. I will give Einstein a point too for their pumpkin bagels and pumpkin schmear in the Fall, but I'm a sucker for anything pumpkin. I have also on occasion stopped and bought a "Bagel Bucket" which constitutes of a lucky baker's dozen of bagels and two tubs of schmear for like $13.00 (maybe $14.00?). Either way, it's no that much more when you consider spending $6.00 on breakfast for one--sometimes it's nice to start a workday with bagels for all! At the holidays I think they even gave me a $5.00 gift card for buying a bucket. Let it be known that despite the name, the "bucket" may appear in bags. Alas, what can you do? Someday I will have to stop in for lunch, they do offer salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and soup as well as a full coffee bar, though Starbucks is right next door. Einstein's is a fine place for a quick breakfast on Orchard Lake Road. I will probably continue to stop in because it's convenient and it's kind of hard to mess up a bagel and cream cheese.
