Noah's Bagels

Best gourmet bagels if you're on a budget. Great for quick breakfasts and lunches. The wait gets considerably long during peak hours, but the food is awesome. My only complaint is the coffee, not drinkable. They might want to rethink their vendor.

Great place to get breakfast. Lot of local folks regularly visit on Saturday mornings for a bagel breakfast, families in tow. The big brand coffee shop came in next and quickly left - that’s how popular this joint is. The regular bagels and coffee hit the spot but they also have bagel sandwiches for weekday lunchtime. I always grab fresh juice and/or yoghurt parfait if I am in mood for something different. Note, I sometimes show up late mornings bland fond they run out of some selections.

My bagel sandwich was absolutely delicious. Since I'm from the south, wouldn't mind options for bigger meat portions!

Tasty bagels. The bagel bread was soft. The ambience was good. Breakfast style ambience. Service was good. Enough seating place. Enough parking place. They have lunch menu too. Jalapeño bagel was too good. Coffee was good.

Love the jalapeno cheese bagel with Jalapeno salsa or garden veggie

Friendly staff greeted me promptly and was very pleasant. Bagel was perfect! Coffee was fresh! Thank you for the great start to the day.

Great selection of fresh bagels. A plethora of cream cheeses, and they have lox.

Love it. It’s a tradition!

Over the past two decades, I have been a steady customer at Nosh’s Bagels since my mother’s introduction in high school. I’ve always liked their tables, display, coffee, and orange juice. Most of all, the hashbrowns. To the point where I am willing to drive 2 cities over for it. Today, I was running between gym class a and Pilates and stopped by the Milpitas location. I ran a very quick order by them and so they understood I was in a rush. I am honored that they chose to expedite my order. I just wish I kept the receipt so I could give the cashier a shoutout.

Noah's has the best bagels in town! I tried the turkey egg sandwich with a cup of coffee, and both were excellent. The sandwich was hot and fresh, and the coffee was smooth and delicious. It's nice to see a place that really takes pride in their food. Definitely a 5-star experience for me.

I normally go in the morning and usually get the Nova Lox bagel. Extremely delicious and their cold brew helps me not be a zombie for the rest of the day. Love the staff in the morning -- super friendly and the customer service is on point. Not sure about customer service at other times though, since I only go at 5-7am.

We loved everything and if I don't give 5 stars it's because there's always room for improvement

They are quick but inconsistent. Maybe it's the early mornings or the repetitive work tasks, but I got an egg 'n cheddar and the cheddar wasn't even melted. Like, yuck. I could make that myself. The avocado toast ain't bad. The workers are pleasant but engender sympathy.

The jalepeno+salsa cream cheese is awesome. The bagels are cut on Y-axis rather than X-axis, works surprisingly good. Review2: disappointed; received a broken challah bread this time (see the picture)

Love this place.. hopefully for a continued consistency with its freshness both on bagels and its ingredients; preparations for both dine in & take outs . Thanks Great job everyone!

Update 12/3/2021: We submitted an order through their online catering process on 12/2/2021 for pickup 12/3. Went to the store to retrieve our order and it was not ready. They said they did not have an order from us. When we produced a hard copy confirmation, they said we saw that but were to busy to prepare it. One has to wonder... ------------------- We are a local business. We ordered 2 dozen bagels and smears to be delivered by Door Dash. The delivery only included the smears, napkins and plates. No bagels. The Door Dash person said that was all that was given to them. Really? You go to a bagel shop and don't get bagels? Tried calling the store, no one picked up my call. Frustrating. I jumped in my car and drove to the shop to pickup the missing bagels. Once there, the cashier looked confused and got the manager. The manager came out with our bagels and said "We wondered why the Door Dash person did not take the bagels?" Manager? 30 minutes, 7 miles, $25 delivery fee later we had our bagels.

The place is actual a nicer Noah's. Good seating area. Good place to hang out. Strong fast wifi from Starbucks nearby. However, the staff seemingly received very little customer service training. Rather indifferent and a bit self absorbed. Not very well organized. Confused on pricing. When I pointed out an error, I get an attitude back. Eventually resolved things amicably. Still room for improvement.

The asiago bangles are not fluffy. The cut is not good

First time at Noah's and definitely will not be coming back. I am not sure which is a copy of which but this is just a remake of Einstein Bagels. Small bagels, mediocre cream cheese and less than friendly service.

I got a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and one Swiss and spinach bagel with jalapeño salsa smear. There was little to no cream cheese on both. Very disappointed with this, at least put a spoon full of cream cheese

Never consistent at service or bagels. I asked for Jalapeño cheddar bagel and this is what I get - 1 jalapeño on the top. Blueberry bagel was rubbery today. Once in the past me and my wife were sick after eating their bagels. Sometimes they are good and that’s why I keep going again after few weeks when I crave it. But it’s like 50-50% chance that it will come out to be good.

Food okay, coffee is good. Tables are never cleaned, floors are lined with empty wrappers, napkins. Behind counter help stand around (could you maybe be wiping down tables? Sweeping?) Self service coffee is either almost empty or gone including creamers. Messy as well.

Reason for 2 stars is that they’re so slow and under staffed. took 30mins to get a lox bagel and it was not busy at all. imagine when it get busy!

I came in to claim my Complimentary Egg Sandwich/Bagel I settled for the Spinach Egg on Swiss spinach bagel it comes with egg with a lot of black pepper tomato spinach avocado And the smear Well It was as ready I less than a minute I don’t feel the bagel was toasted at all I didn’t worry much as I knew I wouldn’t be eating it right away mind you the had been open about 30 minutes when I arrived Makes me wonder if the eggs were prepared this morning The cream cheese smear is my biggest complaint It’s like in the middle and from the appearance not even a teaspoon full on the bottom layer just in the middle I should of retrieved my receipt I had such high hopes With 5 slivers of spinach leaf .having the steams hang out is unacceptable presentation is everything This sandwich is regularly $9 bucks so not worth it -I have yet to have a bite as I really don’t want it just do to its appearance nothing like the advertisement-I sort of leaning toward feeding to the birds Actually that’s not even a teaspoon it’s a licks worth There is no way I would want to pay for this I mean I just purchased a bundle of spinach for .79 cents at 99 ranch .59 for an avocado This wage increase has gotten the consumer compensating for the government screwing up sending out pandemic payments

Fantastic collection of bagels, no complaints at all for the quality of bagels that they serve. It has been a go to place both for me and my fiancé for bagels. Everything bagel and five cheese are my fav! However, the service we received today wasn’t upto the mark. We ordered 1 five cheese, Asiago and two everything bagels and in one of the wrapped bagels, a very small piece of bacon (third attached picture) was found, which isn’t acceptable especially as both I and my family are vegetarians. What I also didn’t like is when we were waiting for our order to be prepared, I saw that a tray filled with bacon was placed right next to where the person was wrapping the bagels. What if a person ordering is either vegetarian or vegan? When we saw the bacon piece, it also made us think that may be the person who wrapped a bagel with bacon for someone else’s order, prepared our order too. It was extremely disappointing to see this coming from Noah’s. Last, because of a bad experience for ordering through the app last time, we went inside the store to order the bagels so we can pick what’s available, today when we asked for a free coffee that you usually get with each purchase of a bagel if ordered from the app, they denied the free coffee as the bagels weren’t ordered through the app. I would think twice before coming again here!

Place was clean and the staff was nice. While I wouldnt mind tipping for service, I dont like to be forced to tip. Paid with CC, tip screen comes up. No optional tip choice OR no tip choice, the "0" option did nothing, nor did the back or "X" option. Had to select a tip to continue. Feels like a scam. Also, when did a bagel and cream cheese cost $4.50?! Next time, I'll just add my bagel order to my Starbucks order for $2.69

Always out of six cheese bagels! Doesn't matter what time of day I come they're out. They have plenty of the kinds nobody buys like egg and sesame seed and pretzel but all the specialty are always sold out. I've asked numerous times to make more of the popular bagels and they refuse. If you want variety DONT come here!

With the recent remodel, they took out the soda machine, which is fine, but now the only way to get water if from a small pitcher they leave on the counter, which always has stuff floating in it (I've been here 3 times since the remodel). Water is a basic necessity for a restaurant. Improve.

Been here a few times. They run out of their popular bagels and you are left only with the sweet ones be it 6:30am or 7:30am. The lines are long and peeps it doesn’t hurt to smile and be nice to your customers

Still after 2.5 years after pandemic, they intentionally dont have indoor dining for saving costs

I came in around 1030am and order a breakfast burrito and the staff shared they didn’t have “breakfast items” so I ordered lunch. I asked if I could add cucumber to my sandwich and staff said “no”. I also ordered a cold brew vanilla cream coffee, staff gave me the coffee with no vanilla or cream and said I had to that myself but there no vanilla to be found, my coffee was awful. I then asked staff if they had hot sauce and again they said “no” and laughed as if I was asking for something unusual.. I’ve gone to other Noah’s bagel cafes and I’ve never experienced this. My dad worked for years making bagels in the Santa Cruz location before they closed so I know what to expect. the experience at this location was poor and unpleasant

DONT GO TO THIS NOAHS. Last straw here,. Every time I come here there’s an issue. This time they forgot to put an extra 1oz of $4 lox on one on my bagels, while the other one didn’t have any cream cheese or onions. I’ve never been a proponent of automation taking workers jobs, but I can’t mentally comprehend how you can mess up a sandwich with only 4 ingredients. So thank you - you’ve made me an advocate for at least one store. Last time I’m spending $30 here 🙄

Our director showed up from SoCal this week, before leaving today she wanted to have one last minute meeting with high-level management. She asked me if I could arrange for some coffee and snacks for the meeting. However, I had a meeting until half hour before it, so I thought a delivery from Noah’s Bagels would be perfect. I got online, found the perfect package of snacks and coffee and ordered it right away. Everything went great; I got my order and invoice copy in an email right away. To be on the safe side I called the local store where the delivery is going to come from, they found my order in their system and confirmed everything, but this is where my good experience ended. My order never showed up, when I called the local store again, this time they had no idea about my order. Lastly, they found out that the order never went out and the “catering personal” had already left. So I said could you people just make something happen, considering the place is just 5 minutes’ drive away and we are talking about an order for about 12 people….long story short, 45 minutes later I called Noah’s Bagels’ main number and cancelled the order. Here is my take: they have great software engineers to design ordering system, they have good people answering the phones too but really non-reliable service/delivery system. I am not ordering from here again!

I was in line on Saturday to get my 3 orders of bagel/sandwich. I actually stood in line to order in person. I saw there were 6 people ahead of me, so I used the app to place my orders. I still stood in that line to wait for my turn. When it was my turn at the front of the line, I alerted the cashier that I already placed my order online, and just want to let she knows that I am here already. I waited and waited as time passed. People who ordered after me already left and my orders were still not ready. After 40 minutes of standing and waiting I approached another associate there to ask her why my orders were not ready. She said she would make it soon. After 1 hour of waiting in the store, I finally got my bagels. There were a couple things that failed here today. One, they don’t schedule enough people to work on weekends. Two, the associates failed to checked the time that orders came in. If the orders were placed at 12 pm, it should be handled before the ones that were placed after 12. If they just slow down a little to organize their workflow, then it would not cause them to make me wait 1 hour for my small order.

Normally I don't go out of my way to leave a bad review, but this place really deserves it at this point. Over the last few months I have probably been to Noah's 5 or 6 times, always giving them the benefit of the doubt that the next time will be better. Every single time I go to Noah's in Milpitas my order has been wrong. They always forget the cream cheese or the avocado. Every single time. Honestly it blows my mind that a place could get my order wrong on 5/5 different occasions. I won't be coming back.

I have been coming here for longer than a year and today has been horrible. The staff was clueless. They gave my order away to the wrong person. The whole crew is new and being trained and the one at fault is the manager. He was hiding in the back instead of doing his job. When asked to speak to him, he mentioned all the crew today was newbies because the rest of the crew is in vacation. Seriously??!! As a manager why would you let your whole crew take vacation at the same time?!?! Manager, if you are going to give that excuse, you should be sat the front TRAINING. My friends and I (6+ people) will be going somewhere else next weekend.

The people here seemed very nice and the service was fast, but this has been the only time I’ve been to Noah’s bagel and they make it horrible. First off we asked for both bagels to be toasted and they were not so I cold bagel is kinda tough to bite into. Another thing is the cream cheese, usually there’s a lot of cream cheese that goes onto the bagel which the picture on the left got enough to cover the bagel while the one on the right barely had any at all so my boyfriend ended up throwing it away. Waste of our money for it not being made right.

15 minute wait for a bagel and cream cheese at 10am....not even that crowded. Bagel had barely any creame cheese on it. Poorly run operation.

Pathetic service the morning of 3/4 at approx 920am. Person taking my order didn’t know how to operate a register , didn’t have a pleasant demeanor, showed no interest in expediting and fixing through a manager. It’s a simple order of a bagel and coffee. We tried two registers, and both of them failed to take an order and the cashier was just showing no interest to fix the order quickly. Just whispering for help to the manager who in turn showed more interest in online order than in the person in front of him, which made me just walk out of the store without placing my order. This type of customer service attitude is absolutely atrocious. You need better training, and given the prices we pay for a single black coffee for $3 which we serve ourselves, show a better attitude. I won’t return to this location or potentially any Noah. You lost a loyal customer over one incompetent cashier.

Very mean lady pick up the call but doesn't want to take the order. Want us to use app for ordering, very mean

One of the worst experiences today. We ordered bakers dozen box at 9:30 and kept waiting for our order for more than 15 mins. The staff kept on delivering orders for the people who came after us. The ignorant lady at the counter was rude and told us without even trying to find why we were not served the order that they serve small orders first . They even served the same bakers dozen box to some other customers who came after us . Lastly they couldn’t find our exact order in their system and just put all the bagels we asked for without slicing, within 1 minute by the way. Staff is too unorganized and too rude.
