If you’ve spent even five minutes on The Mommy Avenger, you know I’m a firm believer that hosting is part art, part strategy—and 100% about feeding people with zero drama. This year, hosting a parade-of-friends-at-our-house for the 4th of July, I knew I’d need all the help I could get. Cue Einstein Bros Bagels, our secret weapon in pulling off a low-effort, high-impact morning spread that actually hit the summer mark.
🎉 Prepping for a Crowd? Breathe Easy
Prepping for a big crew can be overwhelming. But the real magic happened when I tapped into Einstein Bros’ catering menu. Nothing’s more welcome on a holiday morning than ordering everything in a single click, showing up with trays, and—poof—breakfast is served. No chopping, no panicking, no missing grocery runs while everyone’s already hungry.
By 9 a.m., all I had to do was drive 5 minutes away and pick up everything that was perfectly arranged. Bunch Boxes, Baker’s Dozen Bagels with Shmear, and a vibrant lineup of Morning Mocktails—all prepped and ready for rebellion.
Bagels + Shmear = Guest-Loved Simplicity
I ordered a few dozen bagels—classic everything, cinnamon crunch, jalapeño cheddar, asiago cheese—the works. Einstein Bros doesn’t skimp: chewy, well-toasted bagels, and shmear that goes beyond the basics. We’re talking honey almond shmear , vegetable shmear flecked green, and strawberry shmear dotted with sweet goodness.
My approach was strategic: Baker’s Dozen Bagels with Shmear—enough for at least a baker’s dozen hungry people. But I went big, snagging two of them. These bagels were statements: perfect breakfast, no dish pile-up, everyone’s happy.
Crackling light crunch outside, tender inside; shmear spread generously. Everything we didn’t know we needed at the start of a busy day ahead.
Bunch Boxes: Breakfast That Packs a Punch
The Bunch Boxes deserve their own standing ovation. 6 fresh-basked bagels (2 Plain, 1 Sesame, 1 Asiago, 1 Chocolate Chip and 1 Cinnamon Raisin), 1 tub of plain Shmear, 1 Farmhouse Egg Sandwich, 2 Bacon & Cheddar Egg Sandwiches, 4 Twice-Baked Hash Browns, and 4 Blueberry Muffins.
Delicious, yummy options for everyone. Pure hosting gold!
Morning Mocktails: Our Stars of the Early Show
Now, this is the part that really got everyone talking: the Morning Mocktails. Einstein Bros treats drink menus seriously, and these morning mocktails border on genius. We ordered a few of each flavor to share—and honestly? They tasted like sunshine in a glass.
Bros Bay Breeze–cranberry, lemonade and passion fruit–you guys it was so good, I think I may need to stop typing and run back over to get one now…..
DragonFruit Lemon Drop–lemonade and dragonfruit, so so yummy!
Energy Blitz–I’m not a huge energy drink consumer, but I was surrounded by those who were and they couldn’t rave about this one enough. Monster Energy with dragon fruit was a big hit with the crowd!
These morning mocktails elevated the simple morning setup into something special.
Party Flow: Easy, Relaxed, Delicious
Having dozens of people at my home could seem pretty stressful to feed. At no point did I need to scramble to fry bacon, make a huge mess, or worry about who’s hungry again. The preparation time: maybe 10 minutes on Einstein Bros’ website to pick and schedule. The execution time: zero. It was the best!!

We ended up repeating Einstein Bros as the day went on—and honestly, I’m seriously reconsidering my whole breakfast game plan moving forward. A go-to partner for effortless feeding that’s actually delicious? Yes please, sign me up.
