Einstein Bros. Bagels Opening Downtown Location

[dbacksfan 2.0]

Guess I'm one of those that frequented Einstein Bros Bagels and miss them where I am. I don't know if they are frozen or fresh at each location, but the one's that I went to in Arizona were really good, and if we needed a variety of bagels and a variety of schmeers of cream cheese, they are one of the best choices, unless you are close to Chompie's. And  forget Adam Richman and his Jewish Slider challenge.

Try eating this pastrami Rueben......

That looks amazingly similar to something a co-worker of mine ate yesterday at, of all places, Jason's Deli.

That's a fine mound of pastrami

Jason's isn't bad for a national chain. The thing I love about Chompie's and a couple of others in Phoenix is they make their own pastrami, corned beef, breads, bagels, bialys, cannoli's.

After eating that pastrami Rueben, I did not need to eat the rest of the day.

Haven't been to the 5th & Boulder location yet.  I remember eating at one of their places in the Kansas City area about 20 or 25 years ago.  It was called Bagel & Bagel then (I think).

A friend lives right by there and is glad to see that vacant gas station replaced.  Hoping the old Border's gets a new life soon, maybe as a small grocery store. 

Einsteins has barely been open and already half their landscaping is dead or dying.
Too bad they arent compelled to water them in 100F heat.

I would probably recommend a modest neon "OPEN" sign for that location, as it's nearly impossible to tell when they are.

Odd hours too.  Don't they close at 2pm or 4pm?  They can't figure out how to do a dinner menu?

They close at 4. 
They seem to be limiting themselves to the nearby office building clientele, not realizing people are coming by in the evenings to locked doors.

Even with completely dead landscaping, this is still way better than the old Citgo station.  I thought they stayed open later than 4 because it seems like they are still open when I go by at 6 or so.

I don't necessarily blame them for not doing dinner hours as a bagel/lunch shop, but I do wish they were open for breakfast and lunch on the weekends.

As discussed earlier in this thread ALL Einstein Bagel shops nationwide close after lunch.
