About

About Einstein Bros. Bagels

Einstein Bros. Bagels was founded in 1995 in Colorado and quickly grew into the largest bagel chain in the United States, now operating more than 700 café locations across the country. The brand takes its name from the Einstein family legacy of craftsmanship, and its bakeries hand-roll and kettle-boil bagels fresh each morning before baking them to achieve the signature chewy crust and dense, satisfying interior that defines the New York–style bagel tradition.

Einstein Bros. is owned by BBCE (Bagel Brands Company of Einstein), which also operates Noah's New York Bagels and Manhattan Bagel under a shared supply chain and bakery model. Despite the shared ownership, each brand maintains its own regional character and menu identity. Einstein Bros. locations are particularly common in university campuses, airports, and suburban strip centers, where the combination of a quick breakfast and reliable drip coffee fills the gap between a full sit-down meal and a grab-and-go convenience stop.

The menu centers on a rotating roster of more than a dozen bagel flavors available daily, paired with eight or more schmear cream cheese varieties, from classic plain to jalapeño salsa and honey almond. Breakfast sandwiches — particularly the Farmhouse Egg Sandwich with cage-free eggs and the Nova Lox & Bagel with smoked salmon — have become the chain's highest-revenue items alongside catering orders for bagel boxes. In recent years, Einstein Bros. has expanded its coffee program with a full espresso bar lineup and added lighter options under its Thintastic bagel platform to appeal to calorie-conscious guests.
