Einstein Bros. Bagels

I was not greeted when I walked into the restaurant... while there weren’t any other customers in the restaurant it still took 7 minutes to be exact for 4 employees to even acknowledge that I was standing at the register. By the time I cleared my throat to try to see if anyone would take my order the manager proceeded to turn back around and continue cooking. I walked out I’ve never seen such a disgraceful encounter at an Einstein Bagel shop.

The staff was very accommodating and every new face that came to help always asked whether it was our first time at Saltine or not. If you say it's your first time, they'll give you a quick run-down on how everything works. You are provided with an iPad that contains the selection of drinks and the day's specialty dishes alongside paper menus that covers the variety of food.

Good breakfast food with healthy options! Menu board is a tad confusing. Everything seems specialized. Maybe a basic quick menu would be better. I want bagel egg ham basic thing and I need to search and read whole specialty board just to find it. Good food here tough!

A pleasant experience. We waited about 5 minutes in line. Cashier was nice and knowledgeable. They were out of hashbrowns bagels which was disappointed. Bagels were delicious. Overall a good experience.

Worst management I’ve ever come across. Shift leaders express their feelings about not being responsible for training other employees because “I just learned by doing it” and the General Manager wasn’t concerned about herself and employees arriving late to work on a regular basis. I was recently let go for reasons that weren’t clearly stated, but my guess would be due to my honest statements about their lack of care and leadership. My willingness and eagerness to learn doesn’t make a difference here. To arrive on time every time at 3 AM in order to bake apparently doesn’t account for great performance. Don’t worry though, Duncan Donuts is being built next door and their service will blow Einstein Bro’s out of the water.

The best bagels in Chesapeake, hands down. For a family, I recommend the box of bagels. You get 13 bagels or your choice, plus two tubs of cream cheese all for $15.99.

Your standard Einstein Bagels - decent Bagels and lots of choices for bagel sandwiches. This location has a nicer seating area than most. It's not huge, but it's a nice place to sit and study. Pretty quiet early in the morning too.

The Asian cashier has a very pleasant, cheerful, very helpful personality that makes a top-notch, quality customer service! Lox is one of my favorite treat and not all bakery restaurants in VABeach serve a good lox such Einstein Bagels. Though, one male employee called attention upon himself, was arrogant, loud, vulgar, staring and sitting among customer's dining table, it made some of us customers very uncomfortable.

Managed this place for about a year and when I tell you I know the store like the back of my hand, trust me you do NOT want to eat here. Fruit flies coming out of drinks and flying over food. Expired drinks in the cooler along with cross contamination of nova lox, eggs, and bagels. The baker eats all over everyone’s food in the back. The General manager uses old bagels from the day before to give to customers which is absolutely sickening. There is mold on the soda machine and all around the ice machine in the back. This is definitely not the place to bring your child let alone yourself. I have plenty of pictures to provide to anyone if they don’t believe me.

UPDATE: it’s been about a week if not a little more since I’ve posted this. Just to SHOW you how guilty the General Manager feels she went along with her husband who is the District Manager of all the WingStops in the 757 and went to post a complete lie with a complete wrong picture of the food as to what they said lol. NOTICE her description says she PURCHASED a nova lox but there’s a FARMHOUSE in the picture. Also if you visit this location often you would KNOW we DONT use the brand EINSTEIN COFFEE CUPS anymore it’s Caribou Coffee NOW. Also it’s the completely WRONG drink she said. I don’t see a “orange juice”. Last but not least you can tell the profile is ran by them because it’s reviews just for WINGSTOP with bad reviews and ratings.

My bagel was toasted and forgotten about and the manager noticed. He made sure that it was given to me asap so I could head back to work. Bagel was cold by the time I got it, but I appreciated that the manager was able to notice I was in a rush.
