Same Taste, New Name for Mercer Island Bagel Shop

The five Seattle-area Noah's Bagels shops, including Mercer Island's, are changing their name to Einstein Bros.

You may have noticed the new sign already.

The owners of Noah's Bagels have recently rebranded their shops to the brand.

The move lets the shops offer a larger selection of healthier fare and a broader specialty beverage offering, the company said in a news release.

“Seattle continues to be a favorite market for our company and by now offering 15 fresh bagel flavors and adding our Smart Choices menu, we hope to be able to provide local residents with more options that fit into their healthy lifestyle,” said Jeff O’Neill, chief executive officer of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group.

Besides Mercer Island, Einstein Bros. has locations in Kirkland, and four Seattle shops: University Village, Fourth and Cherry, and Queen Anne.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
