The Vegan Menu At Einstein Bros Bagels
If you love bagels, then you are in for a treat at Einstein Bros Bagels. There are actually many vegan options to choose from here.
Bagel Breads
If you are unsure which breads to choose from, then you can safely eat the Plain bagel, the Sesame bagel, or the Onion bagel from the Classic bagel menu.
From the Signature bagel menu, you can also order the Everything bagel, the Cinnamon Raisin bagel, the Chocolate Chip bagel, the Blueberry bagel, and the French Toast.
Gourmet Bagels
One of our favorite options from the Gourmet Bagel menu is the Avocado Toast. This is served on a plain bagel, with smashed avocado and some ‘everything’ spice mix on top. It is a great option if you are looking for breakfast or brunch options.
Alternatively, you can purchase the Ancient Grain bagel from the Gourmet Bagels menu.
Sauces
If you want to spice up your bagel bread, then you can order from a few vegan sauces. For instance, you can choose the Salsa Verde, the Chipotle Salsa, or the Mustard.
Optional Spreads
If you do not like sauce, then you can add some spreads to your bagel. The vegan options are:
- Natural Peanut Butter
- Natural Strawberry Jelly
- Avocado
Vegetable Toppings
If you would like to liven up your bagel, then you can add some veggies on top. The options that are vegan friendly are:
- Tomato
- Avocado
- Capers
- Lettuce
- Cucumber
- Spinach
- Red Onion
- Pickle Spears
Lunch Options
There are also some viable lunch options to choose from if you are trying to maintain a vegan diet.
For instance, both the Original Kettle Chips and the Barbeque Kettle Chips are vegan friendly. These go great with a bagel!
Alternatively, you can order the Avocado Toast (mentioned above), the Fruit Cup (as a side addition), or the Vegetarian Chile, which are all vegan.
Finally, we have the Avocado Veg Out. You will have to order this without the Veggie Shmear as this contains whipped cream mixed with garden vegetables. However, this dish will come with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, and red onions served on a sesame bagel.
