Bagel lovers in Katy, Texas have a new reason to celebrate: Einstein Bros. Bagels officially opened its doors on July 29, 2025 at 23701 Cinco Ranch Blvd Suite 140, Katy, TX 77494, marking a warm return for the brand in the Greater Houston area.
Located in the heart of Cinco Ranch, just steps from LaCenterra, the new eatery is open every day from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, offering residents a fresh and convenient breakfast and coffee stop with signature bagels, shmears, and gourmet sandwiches.

A Bagel Comeback in the Suburbs
The Katy opening is part of Einstein Bros. Bagels’ wider resurgence strategy across the Houston area, signaling a commitment to reconnect with longtime fans. Originally founded in 1995, Einstein Bros. enjoyed strong popularity but saw a gradual disappearance from the Houston market over the past decade due to franchise shifts. That changed after the brand’s acquisition by JAB Holding Company in 2014 and its integration into Panera Brands alongside Caribou Coffee and Panera Bread in 2021.
Since then, the brand has made headlines for its growth strategy and renewed focus on high-demand suburban markets like Katy. The Cinco Ranch location follows another soon-to-open store along Grand Parkway, highlighting a full-circle return to Houston’s breakfast scene.
What’s on the Menu?
Guests can expect a full menu of crowd favorites:
- Signature Bagels: Everything, Asiago Cheese, Cinnamon Raisin, and more.
- Gourmet Breakfast Sandwiches: The Farmhouse, Bacon & Cheddar, Chorizo Sunrise
- Fan Favorites: The indulgent Maplehouse Egg Sandwich, stacked with cage-free eggs, pork sausage, bacon, cheddar, honey almond cream cheese shmear, and syrup on a maple French toast bagel.
- Whipped Shmears & Spreads: Choose from a variety of flavorful cream cheeses, like Garden Veggie, Honey Almond, Onion & Chive, and Strawberry, perfect for customizing your bagel.
- Lunch Options: A variety of Hot & Toasty and Deli Favorite sandwiches are also available starting mid-morning, including the Tasty Turkey, Ham & Swiss, and Avocado Veg Out made with fresh veggies and Garden Veggie Shmear on a choice of bagel. Warm options like the Pizza Bagel, Turkey-Bacon & Cheddar, and Ham & Cheddar Meltprovide satisfying lunch choices for dine-in or on-the-go.
- Beverages for Every Mood: From freshly brewed hazelnut, vanilla hazelnut, and dark roast coffees to iced and hot teas, blended drinks like Caramel Cold Brew Shakes, and fruity Morning Mocktails (Strawberry Banana and Berry Vanilla), Einstein Bros. offers something for every palate.
