East Cobb restaurant comings: Einstein Bros.; Playa Bowls

Einstein Bros. Bagel coming to East Cobb

East Cobb will be getting a Einstein Bros. Bagel location soon.

Renovations are getting underway at a space at Providence Square Shopping Center (4101 Roswell Road, Suite 801), between Sprouts and Mattress Firm.

The store’s website says it’s open, but when we went by on Monday, there was only a branded “coming soon” sign and the start of filling out of the interior.

East Cobb News has left a message with Einstein Bros. seeking more information about the opening.

This will be the second Einstein Bros. in Cobb County (along with another on Barrett Parkway) and 22nd in metro Atlanta.

In addition to bagel items, Einstein Bros. serves up bagel-based breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The company began in 1995 by Boston Chicken and was purchased along with Caribou Coffee by Panera Breads in 2021.

The fruit-bowl shop chain Playa Bowls will be entering the East Cobb market soon.

The 11-year-old New Jersey-based company will be occupying space at Woodlawn Square Shopping Center formerly held by Clean Juice (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 124).

Playa Bowls serves a menu of açaí, pitaya, coconut bowls and smoothies, inspired by surf locations in the U.S. and Central America.

The chain has more than 300 locations, including eight in Georgia. The East Cobb store will be the first in Cobb County.

Clean Juice did not announce a closing, but the Woodlawn Square shop’s location is no longer listed on the company website. Its most recent social media posting was in early April.
