I don’t know if bagels are da bomb diggity, but they have a fairly good selection of bagels and a good choice of spreads. The service can be slow if they get overwhelmed(takes less to than it should) in the morning.

Okay so, I really love carbs. Hence, bagels are da bomb diggity and when you give me OPTIONS for both my bagels and the cream cheese you’re slathering on it my carb loving self is thoroughly pleased. This location is on-campus and is run by student workers. I can’t provide any comparisons between this location(in Phoenix Grill) and any other Einstein bros locations. However, I have no complaints for service. The servers who are understandably students as well, have always treated me kindly and greeted me accordingly. They make suggestions when asked and have never burned any of my bagels so wooo that’s a plus! & I always love getting my bagel toasted, I don’t know when I haven’t asked for my bagel to be toasted. I have never ordered anything too fancy between bagels with cream cheese, but I have seen people get bagel sandwiches and whatnot here. They look appetizing, but I stick to the basics — aka cream cheese bagels. My favorites are typical and basically basic. — Chocolate Chip Bagels, Plain Bagels(I know… but they are plain but tasty esp with veggie cream cheese), & I forget… I typically get the two previously mentioned. — I REALLYLOVETHEIRHONEYALMONDORWHATEVERNUTITWASCREAMCHEESE. It’s sweet but so yummy. — Strawberry Cream Cheese is good too. — Veggie adds a savory element, yum da nom. Since it’s located in Phoenix Grill, there’s plenty of seating. It can be hard to find seats during the lunch or dinner times or during times when people are desperate to have a place with food + study space all the best spots are gone fast. AKA the booths and seats near the outlets. OH! They also have a fancy shamncy coffee machine now. So they can make drinks like white mochas and stuff. I’ve only ever ordered an iced coffee. It was decent and got the job done, but if I’m on campus and since there’s Starbucks and Au Bön Pain — I’d go with the other two options. They also have other non-coffee drinks(lemonade, juice, teas, etc.), which is nice when you’re thirsty and don’t need the jolt from coffee BUT if you want water what I love about Phoenix grill is that they set out water cups by the fountain drink station :) So help yourself to a glass of ice water.
