Between the hours of 6 and 9 AM, bagels and coffee are the key drivers behind several national economies, so Einstein Bros Bagels has combined those two aliments into a single snack with the new Espresso Buzz Bagel. The holey creation might look like a standard brown bagel, but it actually gets its coloring from a shot of caffeine infused directly into the dough.
The Espresso Buzz Bagel is a powerful piece of pumpernickel. It comes with 32 milligrams of caffeine, which is about as much as the average cup of coffee. Einstein Bros has also made the creation into a sandwich with bacon and egg, meaning that diners can get their complete breakfast fix in a single meal that's easy to take on the go.
The Espresso Buzz Bagel joins Einstein Bros new 'Boosted Bagels' menu.
