Noah’s Bagels

I asked for a cinnamon sugar bagel and they literally gave me a plain bagel with loose raw cinnamon thrown on top. I had to wipe it off because it was so disgusting. Also the machine for masking hot drinks was broken. Add to that, the cashiers and workers were bad tempered and passive aggressive.

These don’t even taste like a real bagel to me. They were very fast and nice, but they didn’t bother toasting my bagel even though I asked. Even toasted it wouldn’t have been very good. I would not return.

I really wanted to like this place and be a regular (after coming at least 10 times in a month), but here’s what happened that really upset me that I never want to come back now.
First off, most the staff here is not so friendly, you can barely get a smile from them. But there’s one particular Asian guy who looks in his 30 – 40’s; works semi-​hard to hard, and the one day I get lucky enough to come in first; of course no one is ready to take my order. So I stand there patiently at the cashier counter waiting to order. And then some father with his daughter a few minutes later comes in behind me and the Asian guy greets him because I assume he’s a regular and the employee takes his order before me.
That just insulted me because I was there first, but what made it worse for me was the mother f#%er takes his order and then asks me «have you been helped?» and of course I replied, «no!». Why not f#$ing ask me if I was helped first before greeting your buddy or whoever he was and then start a nice long lovely conversation. F this place, I’m not coming back because apparently customer service and professionalism is non existent.

I get hungry. I wanted a bagel. When I went inside they had bagels. I got an onion bagel, lightly toasted, with crème cheese and lox. I like to say lox because my ex was Jewish and it makes me feel relevant. I got an orange juice, too. They were nice to me. Its always great when people are nice to me because i am nice to everyone in the world that i meet and I never lie about anything so NOah’s bagels are the best. Try them out, becaeu just like me, they are wotht a shot!

The French Toast Bagel is my new favorite after trying it. Just like the rest of their bagels it was fresh and delicious as ALWAYS! Will be my new go-​to a.m. stop!

Came to Noah’s bagel for a quick breakfast with my brother. I was reading the review for this place and I was second guessing it but went anyways although I’m from the bay I’m not too familiar with pacific heights in San Fransisco and I for sure did not want to go to Starbucks and spend more money.
I got the thintastic bagel with egg whites, asparagus, mushrooms and Swiss cheese. My brother got the applewood bacon, with cheddar cheese on a cheese bagel. We both liked our bagels. My bagel was a little soggy but it’s understandable because I got a good serving of egg which probably made the bagel soggy. Wish my bagel was a little more toasty but other than that it was very good and got a lot of mushrooms mmm my fav!
I think they might of been short staffed or something it took some time til someone took our order. The line started to build and I guess that’s when they noticed to start ringing up people. On the reviews people talked about how the employees seem mad or something. I get it customer service blows I’ve been in it for sometime and some customers believe they’re entitle for everything but all you have to do is smile and get through your shift and bam you get your money. Although the lady kind of gave that vibe like «ugh I don’t want to be here» she was nice with no attitude and took my order.
I hate to be that person to say to the workers that maybe you should smile more but even if you hate your job it’s good to just fake it, fake a smile and fake that you like people. Happy customers = happy boss = no complaints from boss.
Fair price for a good breakfast bagel

First of all, at 11:15am they had already run out of sesame, one of the most popular bagels. Poor planning in my opinion. After that, I got a dry, barely toasted bagel when I asked for toasted, delivered to me room-​temperature instead of warm or toasty temp. One bagel was mediocre. The second was especially dry, crushed and deformed, and splotched with light shmear, completely disproportionate to the shmear on the first bagel. This Noah’s is conveniently close to my school and has been a favorite quick lunch spot for a while, but I will not be returning during a busy lunch hour when they obviously rush themselves and neglect basic responsibilities. I would much rather save my Noah’s craving for the laurel village location whose customer service is unparalleled.

I feel I must write this review, although I want to like this place, I have been disappointed each time I go there. The coffee is so so, the bagels don’t seem to be bagels, I tried a bagel with cream cheese and it just wasn’t good.
I ended up tossing it out. The workers are quite friendly, but even the stools are not comfortable to sit on. Meh.

No fue el mejor bagel de mi estancia en EEUU pero al menos pude elegirme los ingredientes y evitar las salsas de queso que acostumbran a ponerles. El local no es muy atractivo y estaba medio vacío (era casi la hora de cerrar), pero me dio tiempo a pedir un bagel de pavo y mostaza con el pan de sésamo. Estaba rico, aunque se pasaron de pavo y eso que pedí que me pusieran pocas cortadas porque aquí te meten un pavo entero y se quedan tan frescos.
La chica que me atendió era todo menos la alegría de la huerta, pero en 3 minutos tenía mi bagel entre los dientes. Hay muchas opciones para escoger y entre ellas las miles de salsas de quesos de la marca especial que usan en Noah’s. Igual me equivoqué de mezcla o de pan, pero no me resultó mucho mejor que una tostada. Volvería a probar más cosas porque me encantan los bagels, pero creo que se pueden encontarr miles de sitios mejores en san Francisco para tal tarea.

While they are not authentic NY bagels, I enjoy a bagel and shmear from Noah’s. What prompts my poor review is not the food but the service. I waited over 30 minutes for three sandwiches, and was told they were out of plain bagels at the 28^th minute. Bummer.

The bagels here are generally very good. The staff is horrible. Bought a baker’s dozen. Said I don’t want any cream cheese. Lady proceeds to remove one bagel. I ask her why. She says because you only ordered a dozen. I said, the menu clearly says 13 bagels, with or without cream cheese. She says that’s an old menu — that’s been wrong for a long time…
As I began to explain the concept of false advertising I eventually decided that everyone else who gave bad reviews on Unilocal was right and my breath was wasted on this lady and this establishment. Which is sad. Since it is good food and prime location. Oh well. I’ll spend my money elsewhere.

This place sucks. Never have blueberry bagels! I’m here at 6:30 am! How are you out of blueberry bagels at that time? Makes me think these bagels at this location is NOT fresh!

This is use to be nice place with two happy, fast and friendly girls. New workers are totally opposite! They are absolutely unmotivated, uncaring and disorganized! They even look unprofessional! You have to remind them to give a receipt, ask them to slice your bagels. They are all disoriented and moving slowly in random directions. Very slow and mean. When you ask them to slice your bagels or give them discount card they are acting like you give them hard time and even punching the hole very slow. To be short I can say that laziness took over this place. Giving 2 stars for the taste and no stars for the service.

I actually do think that the bagels taste good but the cleanliness is not good. The last time I went in there (about a week ago) the cashier had on gloves and was handling cash and credit cards and then went and grabbed bagels… so what’s the point of wearing gloves?
Another time the cashier asked the guy who was making the bagel sandwiches to put my plain bagels in a bag and so they had salmon on them… nice…she could have just grabbed them herself. The bagels are tasty but I don’t like to go here because you never know how the bagels will be handled, and that’s just what we can see…

Looking for some entertainment? Read the reviews for this place — and sadly, they’re all true.
Staff — unmotivated, incompetent, and: disorganized. It seems there are no procedures in place for the staff to follow, and that results in bad products. And guys, cheer up. Giving out to each other in front of a long line of customers is highly unprofessional.
It is normal for them to run out of bagels frequently, and you’d have to wait 10 – 30 minutes for the next production to be ready. Want your bagel cut in half? You have to ask for it. And, the bagels are not even great. Ever had bagels over on the East Coast? You wish that Noah’s would take some pride in having «New York» in their name.
Thanks to the absence of bagel stores in Pacific Heights (or, San Francisco!) I’m a regular here, but more like a forced regular. The South Bay /​Peninsula is blessed with Bagel Street Café — a small local chain with fantastic bagels. Not so the city.
Is it so hard to run a bagel franchise? I’ll happily take over for a week or two.

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is the worst not even for just Noah’s bagels but as a general establishment for food and customer service. I ordered some bagels and I order the same one every single time. She tried to tell me I said something else and have me an attitude about it and arguing with me that I ordered this other one and was making noises under her breath towards me. She was also talking shit about me to her other co worker saying I told her 2 different things. I’m not sure if this place is poorly managed or they need a whole new crew because the two girls that were there today were horrible, mean and RUDE!

The only thing positive I could say about this place is that it’s consistent. Every time you come here you can count on
1) Only one person actually making any food (even on busy Sunday mornings)
2) Cashier that is either new to the job and has no idea how to work the system, or extremely rude… or both
I’ve been telling myself not to come back here for quite some time, but this morning was the nail in the coffin. Stopped in to get what I was hoping would be a quick bite. Like always, the line was long and not moving and hey what do you know the cashier was new and couldn’t work the system. This on its own isn’t an issue, I understand new people need to learn somehow. The icing on the cake, this new cashier had a bloody wad of toilet paper shoved up her nostril that she kept taking out, looking at, and shoving back in… WHILE TAKING ORDERS AND HANDLING CUSTOMERS FOOD. The entire line of customers were, needless to say, totally disgusted. Then, this girl takes out the «bloody wad» and starts waving it in her manager’s face, laughing. At this point a girl in line speaks up remarking at how disgusting it was, and that she shouldnt be working the cashier let alone handling food while also playing with this «bloody wad». The manager, even though seeing all this occur, straight up denies it! The ENTIRE line of customers tell her, in fact, this did occur and many people got fed up and left.
So do yourself a favor and go next door to Evolution or elsewhere on Fillmore. Hopefully, this place will get shut down, a new owner, or SOMETHING. Until then, never coming back.

I was really craving a breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon on a pumpernickel bagel). The sandwich I got here was okay. A decent amount of bacon and cheddar cheese, and pre-​cooked frozen egg product. Could have used some salt and pepper (but I took it to go). The bagel was toasted and the egg was (mostly) warm. The bacon was crispy.
Not a place I would frequent, but if I was craving a bagel sandwich I would consider going back.

Slow and rude service. Granted, we were here near closing, but as long as you’re open, friendly service is appreciated.
Bagels are yummy!

Absolutely one of the worst Noah’s you could walk into !! The staff is extremely rude and unaware of what customer service is truly about … They are also really slow with the service to the point where my for here order turned into a to go …
The last couple of times I’ve come here, their refrigerator that displays their cold drinks and smears wasn’t working and the technician wasn’t dressed professionally at all !!
Also the manager with the blonde hair doesn’t care about privacy of her employees … While at the register obtaining my order she yelled at Rachel to take her lunch and they also seem to have employees who look and act like they hate it here !! Lastly they are never fully staffed so most times in the morning it’s just 2 employees and more than likely one of them is training

Good bagel but sloooooow. Do the employees like working here? They don’t look it.
Came in for breakfast in a Saturday morning. 4 or 5 people in line with 1 at the register and 2 fix’n the bagels and smear. Took me almost 10 minutes to get my order in and another 10 for it to be up. My Nova lox and full smear was delicious on the jalapeño and cheese bagel but there was no love put into it. At least across the street at Starbucks, they look happy to be there and be helping you.
Noah, buck up buttercup.

Bons bagels, grand choix, vous serez un peu perdus devant la carte. Seul bémol, le staff un peu expéditif… peu patient et peu enclin à vous expliquer les subtilités de la carte.
