About this place Einstein Bagels

This is a branch of the Einstein Bros. Bagels chain at 3455 North Clark Street, on the western edge of Northalsted (Boystown). It is a mainstream gay-friendly café, not a gay venue: bagels, breakfast sandwiches, coffee and a few tables. It opens daily from 6am to 2pm, which makes it a cheap, quick breakfast before a day in the neighbourhood or a recovery stop after a late night on Halsted Street. The Addison Red Line station and Wrigley Field are a few minutes' walk away, so expect it to be busier on Cubs game days.

While the atmosphere inside the store was fine, the service and food were horrible.I ordered a cup of orange juice from here which I later found out was not fresh and instead was made using a concentrate and had 72 grams of sugar in a 24 ounce cup.Since I was on juice cleanse,this ruined my cleanse and my day.When I spoke to the manager , Joseph, he was totally unhelpful and refused to give a refund for the misled product and didn’t give the email address of the store.Don’t come here unless you want deception and diabetes.

This place is incredible. I was killed with kindness by the team and the team was so so so helpful. I will come here EVERYTIME I’m in Chicago. You need to come here! Stephanie, Michelle, Quetta - you three are my hero’s.

I am in town for the NRA and truly enjoyed this location. Very lucky they open early and the staff there is amazing! If it was closer to home I would definitely in everyday!
