Good bye Noah’s Bagels.
I will miss Alex and the rest of the crew. Starbucks Bagels are terrible.
i guess i go to House of Bagels in Sunnyvale now.
:(

Very busy on a Saturday morning, I ordered half a dozen bagels with a tub of schmear. They have this cool machine where the bagels are thrown in and sliced. Very nice! The garlic and herb cream cheese is very good, reminds me of the Boursin garlic/​herb that you can get at the grocery store. I like Noah’s better than the house of bagel but it can be a bit of a wait if you go around 930 am on a weekend morning.

Noah’s Bagel, it’s like being along the sidewalks of New York City, except with an overpriced mediocre bagel in hand. I think my experience was disappointing mostly because of the confusing service. This was my first time (possibly my last), so I was not a savvy experienced customer. Their menu was bloated and difficult to decipher. I finally decided on trying their smoked salmon «shmear» on a honey wheat bagel which I thought was at a reasonable price of $ 4−6ish. But when my order came out to be $ 8, I was like holy sh*t. Somewhere along the lines I was asked what kind of side would I like? Potato salad, chips, or cole slaw. I chose the potato salad. Complimentary sides? Awesome! Turns out, the guy who took my order was just unclear. I guess it was an extra $ 2 for this tiny bowl of a salad (5.5 oz), which I didn’t intend on ordering.
Normally, I would say something, but I didn’t think much of the price today nor did I exactly care. It wasn’t until when my food came out that I began to feel confused. My thought was: really, $ 8 for this? The bagel was alright. Nothing special, didn’t even taste fresh nor was it nicely toasted («half-​ass toasted» as my friend described it.) The side of potato salad was tiny and tasted straight up like pickles. I didn’t finish it. This was not worth $ 8. Throughout our whole meal, my friend and I were trying to figure out how a bagel came to be that price. We couldn’t even find the sides on the menu. Flustered, we ate what we could of it and quickly left, regretting our decision not to get Ike’s down the street.

Worst service imaginable
Walked in to give them a try instead of Starbucks. Was the only person at the counter while a staff member was at break and in the back. Cashier walked up, asked her for iced coffee which is on the menu. Without an apology or anything she goes «we don’t carry iced coffee». Confused I go «…but it’s on the menu. A little more rudely this time she says «We don’t carry iced coffee, Starbucks is next door».
Never coming back.

1 star for horrible service and so-​so bagels.
By the time I got home, I realized they gave me a cinnamon raison bagel when I asked for an onion bagel. If it were any other kind of bagel, I would have just eaten it. I am allergic to raisins, so I threw it in the trash. I drove a total of 25 minutes round trip. My mistake for not checking.
Additionally, when they called out my name for my order, the girl behind the counter was extra surly for some reason. I was standing in front of her, holding my hand up trying to get her attention but she kept yelling over me. She was yelling, looking around the room and I was standing in front of her, politely trying to get her attention. When she finally calmed down, she shoved the bag in my face and walked away.
Tell me, why did I throw a $ 5 bill in the tip jar again? I shouldn’t have bothered.

Coming from NYC I tried to have an open mind. Even with the local water issue at least hard work and good ingredients could salvage a decent bagel out of this so called New York bagelery. What I found was microwaved bacon, microwaved eggs Crap coffee. OJ was found in plastic cups mimicking fresh squeezed stuff and even the staff guarantees it fresh squeezed but the label on the size says ‘concentrate’. I had a spinach bagel toasted with butter — meh. There are several shops in the area but none were open early. I’ll try something with better reviews next time.

A late quick lunch was what i needed. Needing the fix for a breakfast sandwich i dropped in. Sausage, cheese and egg bagel is always a good go to. Unfortunately the turkey sausage they use is a bit thin and mealy. Cheese, egg and bagel are good though. I think ill go bacon next time.

Man, I just came here for a quality bagel before class and well, that couldn’t happen for me.
This place must be the saddest excuse for «New York style» bagel I’ve ever seen! The bagels don’t taste like or are the texture of a proper New York bagel. Not to mention these bagels are literally half the size.
I’ve had better New York style bagels at other bagel spots that don’t even say they try to be New York style.
The bagel did not taste bad, but I could of had the same experience with a packaged product from Safeway.
Not a fan of this place.

The attitude here is unbelievable !
I was waiting for my order then they called out my name, so I walked up to grab a bag on the counter.
The worker says with major attitude and a dirty look, «uh, that’s not yours.» I was like «you called my name» and then another worker handed me my bag which was on a different counter.
She could of said «sorry miss, your order is on the counter to the right». I was with my daughter and she agreed that the employee was really rude, just to make sure I wasn’t being sensitive.

Loved the bagels and the jalapeño salsa shmear. I got the turkey sausage sandwich! Loved it! They had four different coffee roasts and two of those were empty. That cost them the 5^th star.

I am trying not to leave one star reviews if I can help it anymore, but I called in to this place twice to place an order and it rang and rang and rang both times. Then I finally gave up and I just came in to place my order. I waited a little while before someone helped me which was understandable because they were busy with the lunch rush hour. I placed my order and still had to wait at least 10 minutes for my sandwich to be made. Since i was waiting I called to see if the phone even rang. It did and I watched one of the guys walk past it a few times while it rang and rang and rang. Real nice. Is it their policy to not answer their phone at all??? hmmm… not cool. Made my short lunch hour even shorter because I had to wait a long time for my food. No Bueno. They need more employees and another round of training at this place.

If I could put a ZERO for service I would. My husband & I went in Sunday AM early. First customer I think. We ordered two small coffees & one onion bagel. The kid Alex was horrible. First no one was in the place and instead of taking my very small order he made me walk back & forth after I told him what I wanted. I said really… Than he started saying a bunch of bla bla bla. I just wanted my bagel & two small coffees. I sat down to do my work & he & the girl started talking so load I could here all they were saying & I couldn’t even think to do my work. ¹⁰⁄₁₅ min. later I said can I get my bagel?
They were so busy talking they forgot it. And the shop was not busy at 6:30 AM.
They got my bagel & put a huge amount of cream cheese on it. I hate cream cheese. I asked for butter. Alax should not work at your shop, HORRIBLE!!! And the gal I think she was the manager, was just as bad…
Your probably loosing business over these two employees. Will not come back…
Please get people that Understand Customer Service. I love Noahs Bagels But they are hurting your business.
Nanc

Dang. The Garlic bagel with one of their smears (can’t remember what flavor it was) dang! It was soo good. Just be prepared to stand behind a party of 5 who’ve never been in a bagel shop before. It seriously took me like 15 minutes to get a damn bagel and cream cheese. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE!

I live in New York. These are not New York bagels.
They wouldn’t let me try a sample of their spread.
Not fully toasted.
Not round in shape.
Not cut in half for easy eating.
The bagels are full of air and flatten quickly so what you end up eating is a sort of bread and cream cheese sandwich. I’m saying that the entire bagel height, including the two slices and the spread, became about a centimeter. Horrible a d not what a bagel us. (See my picture of this)

Like other reviewers have stated: the manager is seriously a grouchy, old fart. Besides the fact that he sweats as if he just ran a 10k, he just never seems to give off a welcoming vibe. Although I must say that every other employeethere had a cheerful smile on their face.
Anyways, let’s get to the food: all of the bagels here are great, always crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy inside. Other than a few sandwiches, this place is just bagels. Also, they have a nice selection of smears which all taste equally yummy.
So, although the manager has an extremely irritable look on his face, the food makes up for his attitude. But in general the vibe if this place is unwelcoming while the manger is there.
*one note: on Sundays they tend to get pretty busy but the line moves pretty rapidly.

They are fairly fast in prepping your food. I love how organized they are and How they take time to get your order right. They are conveniently located next to a Starbucks, so you have a chance to grab coffee while waiting for your bagel, or just get it from Noah’s (cheaper)
Their whole wheat thin bagels are my ultimate favorite. Add a little bit of salmon shmear, and you’re all set! The nova lox is also good! it’s one of the things I usually order, especially when I have more time to wait for food.

While not my first time eating a Noah’s bagel, this was my first trip into the actual store.
Small and [conveniently] sharing walls with the next door (literally) Starbucks, this corner of the plaza was geared to kick-​start any morning. The menu was sizable, the bagels were all lined neatly in their baskets behind the glass, and they were relatively quick… relatively. I’m not sure if she unaware, but the cashier took three sweet minutes talking to my friend while customers were busing piling up behind her.
Regardless, I walked away with their lox bagel and I was impressed with the flavor and freshness packed into it. The bagels might be a tad small, but the smoked salmon was on-​point that morning. Cheers.

Very good beagles they make feel happy after I eat the bagel they good sitting place in and out

Wow, first time getting my order right ever! Possibly because it’s morning the employees are on their A game but finally happy that there wasn’t something wrong with my order.
As usual, there are barely any customers; probably since it’s right next to starbucks. In any case, glad to see the bagels stocked & full this morning. The employees still are t friendly or in a good mood. Next time I’ll go to starbucks but I’m glad my order wasn’t messed up for once.
