We were at the Tempe, AZ location Sunday, 5/14/17, and received awful experience from the untidy, frankly probably hungover, snobby college girls working the mid-morning shift. The gal taking our orders was not helpful in answering questions and generally just seemed annoyed that we had come in to order bagels and coffee. (We were the only ones in line and, I mean, is it really that hard to toast a bagel?) After receiving cold service from her, we waited for our order. The coffee order came out first and I noticed that I may not have received what I ordered. I asked the gal who had given us our bagels if she could confirm whether not this is what I ordered, and I received an eye roll and a cold “I don’t do coffee.” Then she walked away. The girl who DID "do coffee" was very friendly and helpful once we waited to ask her. I dont mind waiting for an expert to help me with my question, but I do mind the snobby response I got just for asking a question. As someone new to that location, how was I supposed to know who does and does not do coffee? They are all behind the counter in the same spot. Long story short, if I want to pay for average tasting, overpriced bagels and coffee, I will do it at a location where they hire adults and not gossipy, bratty, hungover college kids.

I have been coming here a few times a week to get some work done before I head in to work. No interruptions here! This place combines the best of Caribou Coffee and Einstein Bros. Bagels. I love the iced lattes with skim milk. Not too milky--good strong espresso. Bagel sandwiches are tasty. For a change try peanut butter on your bagel. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the music good without being intrusive. Theres a cozy nook in front of the fireplace for chilly mornings and plenty of tables for two of four. Im not the only person here studying and writing. Plus there is a Pokéstop if that is where your interests lie.

Einstein Bros at Rural and University has been so generous with the nonprofit organization I work. Theyve donated snacks for our volunteers for years, and each time they are so easy to work with and provide more than enough to keep our volunteers happy. When I stop in as a customer, the staff is consistently friendly and the food is consistently fresh and good. Mmm, Im going to have to go get a pumpkin bagel with pumpkin schmear now...

Well alrighty, Im from Texas, and was visiting Arizona, I was looking for a bite for breaksfast, and I found myself at this place, right when I walked through the door I noticed the up tempo vibes coming from the red head girl at the Register, I ordered a farmhouse bagel, it was spectacular, the customer service was extremely well, she had a go, fight, win attitude and a great smile... I strongly recommend this for your next breakfast

I LOVE CARIBOU COFFEE! Im from Minnesota and when this opened up I lost my mind I was so excited. They have great espresso, and the best chocolate Ive ever had in a coffee drink. There is nothing on the menu I would not recommend. Ask the baristas what they make for themselves if you want to try something interesting for sure. The vibes in there are very log cabin/ serenity, so if thats your thing youll have a good time.

I really like this place, the baristas and the owners are very friendly and they always make my coffee exactly the way I want, which is a bit complicated. I also like how there is always a nice light there, mostly due to the windows going to the west and afternoon sunlight being filtered through the curtains. And when I want a break from my writing or drawing, I can always watch some funny ancient shows on their TV :)

The manager at this EBB told me hired to work there. I was excited to start but they kept telling me to come back next week and after a while they completely stopped acknowledging I even existed. It was the rudest and most unethical thing. I tell all my friends and family not to go there and that the manager and all the girl workers there were completely butch.

Love this place!!! They bagels and coffee cake are always fresh. I never like coffee but they offered suggestions different kinds to see what I like, they even offered me to make another one If I didnt like it. Staff is always helpful and always have a smile on, no matter what time of day. Big shout out to Zena for helping me!

Einsteins simply has the best bagels in the valley. This place is a bagel shop first, a coffee shop second. Not to imply that their coffee is bad though - they serve good lattes, frappes and hot/iced coffees. Friendly and fast service with lots of seating. Highly recommended!

Really nice place, situated at a decently busy intersection, but not at all inaccessible. important thing to note is that the hours vary based on college season, sometimes due to that this location may close earlier than usual during the schools-out months.

My experience was quite pleasant. I didnt feel like the employees were rushing to complete orders and they all seem to be in a vary good mode. I know im not 100% in the morning, hence why i needed my coffee fix. I would definitely come back.

Was given two incorrect bagels and was told to BRING THEM BACK to get the right ones. What kind of service is this ? Its their error and I have to drive BACK to get it right. Wow GREAT JOB Einsteins, keep up the good work.

Went here Sunday morning 4.24.2016 and the cashier was less than pleasant. Didnt want to be there, and her attitude showed it. Its an Einsteins, not much you can say about it. Im not a huge fan of their bagels.

The girl with the dread locks does not know how to do her job.......I wish this problem could be resolved. Teach her how to count and use the register an on going problem in a busy high traffic area!!!

There doors were open but everyone was sitting on the floor and chairs and saying there arent open and wont be for a few days.. Then put a sign or something or better yet lock your doors!!!!

The only knock I can make on the place is how stupid the register/ordering works. ANY other system would promote faster service. But ALL Einsteins have this stupid slow two computer system.

Good customer service, good coffee and a good place for some bagels and shmear! It is a little cramped, and during rush hours it gets too loud to really read or do homework.

Quick and pleasant service even though there was a line and someone was filling a large office order. Very efficient and as usual, the food and coffee were great.

I love their bagels but they messed up my order twice in a row within a week... Completely empty store... It doesnt take much to get it right

Hot and Fresh bagels in the morning is just what you would look for and they give you that. Green chilli and jalapeño bagels are my favorite

I love to the service, fast, friendly and good quality. I ordered a protein bar with honey spread toasted and it was beyond delicious.

Caribou is the best coffee ever. I am so glad I found caribou after moving here from the midwest, I was lost for a while.
