    Blended caramel Mocha
    Asad K.

    A good stop by between Sacramento & Stockton. My wife picked it, and came back to the car with a power house breakfast bagel, and a blended caramel mocha. Safe to say, I enjoyed both. My wife got a biscoff latte. Amazing! It looks like they offer a lot of outdoor seating, but the weather isn't cooperating today so I don't blame anyone for not being outside. The staff was very attentive and helpful.

    Avocado toast
    Tamara R.

    Ordered the avocado toast this morning on door dash and as shown on my receipt I did NOT select to have chili flakes put on it. This is not the first time this has happened this is the 3rd or 4th time now. Very disappointed and wasted $12 on this to have it be thrown in the trash.

    Strawberry cloud matcha with oat milk
    Becca D.

    Great coffee shop with lots of options. The staff was friendly and service was quick! I really enjoyed the matcha from here. I've had it both hot and cold and will be adding this to my coffee shop rotation! There's plenty of seating outside so it's a great place to sit back and enjoy the nice weather.

    Iced Mexican Aztec Mocha

    I was looking for a coffee spot on my commute to Elk Grove and this spot did not disappoint! Everything was amazing. The mocha was perfect with an amazing spice blend. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the house sauce was like the cherry on top. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy.

    Display of bagel and sweets
    Maritza N.

    Unexpectedly came upon this cafe. We were in the area and came two days in a row bc their drinks are great! The first day we came in the late afternoon and it wasn't busy. The next day we came in the morning and it gets really busy but service is quick. The staff were very friendly and patiently explained the menu and answered our questions. First day we ordered: -orange cream refresher: wasn't feeling anything w caffeine. Creamy orange flavor and I like how it's the right contrast of sweetness and creaminess. Very unique fruit smoothie. -mocha Java chip: blended smoothly without any icy bits! Strong coffee flavor with nice texture of tiny chips to chew on. Such a good drink! Second day we ordered: -mocha Java chip (again) since it was so good! -three chocolate mocha: a little on the sweeter side with less coffee flavor but still good! I think it has dark chocolate, white chocolate and vanilla flavor. - powerhouse on croissant: comes with choice of cheese plus lots of meat (bacon, sausage, eggs and ham). The croissant was flaky and crunchy, toasted well without being burnt. Def recommend this one! - bagel with Swiss, eggs and bacon: didn't order it but they have the breakfast powerhouse option on bagel as well. Comes out very hot since they prepare it fresh. The egg serving is very generous and bacon is crunchy. Overall, great option for a yummy breakfast! The price point is right for the quality. They have sweet and savory food options, and different coffee drinks. Their blended drinks are must. Would come back again if I'm in the area!

All bagel sandwiches came with refreshing and spicy pepperoncini, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion thinly sliced, mayo, mustard, your choice of cheese. California club bagel- with all of the above in your choice bagel with bacon and sliced chicken. 5/5 Chicken platter salad - peppery, light mayo chicken salad with crunchy celery, tomatoes, cucumbers and fresh romaine. Balsamic vinaigrette was great not too sour or sweet. 6/5 Pastrami bagel- Good solid pastrami, with all of the above. Solid. 5/5 Breakfast bagel- tomato, bacon, egg. Not sure of the rating, did not eat. Overall, i will be back for the healthy bagel sandwiches and delicious salad

    Review #1,022 Posted on 3.18.26…read more We've been stopping in here for a few bites since we moved to Tracy 8 years ago, most recently today Wednesday the 18th. I was kind of surprised I hadn't reviewed this spot yet. This spot is located in a small strip mall at the corner of 11th/Corral Hollow, same lot as Safeway, next door to Togo's, Verizon, Starbucks. You can smell the fresh bagels when you approach the door, smells great. This spot has some very cool options, it's not just a bagel shop. They've got sandwich options, salads, tons of drinks, bakery items, including sweets, then obviously numerous bagel choices with numerous cream cheese options too. This place is packed on mornings & weekends. Parking is scarce too, better off parking by Safeway & walking over.

My only exception being no milk products the coffee was still sweet but not overpowering and is also the fuel behind this review being so long. Evidence in itself. Let me tell you whoever was back there cooking up those bagels on 3/30/26 around 10am absolutely SMASHED IT. Made me a perfectly cooked bacon egg and cheese and surprised me with a delightful PESTO bagel. Never even heard of that s**t!!!!! So fire, nice folks. Couldn't recommend more. Will be back. Probably a lot. Fr

They have a huge variety on the menu, so everyone can find something they like. We love their iced mochas.

It's smooth and strong and makes all their drinks taste better. The staff is always friendly, and it's just an easy, reliable stop when you need a good drink or a quick gift for someone. Definitely one of our local favorites. Always a good vibe here.

The bagels themselves were actually good very fresh, and you could tell the bread was nice, fluffy, and soft even after being toasted. That part was definitely the highlight. However, the coffee bar area where the fountain drinks are located was extremely dusty. It looked like nothing had been moved or cleaned under or around it in a long time. The soda fountain machine itself also appeared like it hadn't been cleaned recently. While ordering, I could also see the cutting board behind the counter and it's no longer white, it's basically gray from buildup. That definitely needs a deep clean. Service was also disappointing. When we walked in, we greeted the staff but some had AirPods in and didn't acknowledge us. The main cashier saw us standing there but didn't respond right away. We ordered breakfast bagels and waited about five minutes, which was actually pretty quick. When we finished and were leaving, we said "thank you, have a good day," and no one responded. That was honestly a little sad because this place really has potential. Overall: 2 stars. The bagel was decent, but with the cleanliness issues and lack of customer service, I probably won't be back.

We walked in and saw the huge huddle by the phone order pick up area. We decided to go next door and get our drink order. We waited next door for about 3-5 minutes and then went back to Noah's to grab our phone / app order. We saw a line still for the phone order/ delivery order pick up. We patiently waited for 10 minutes and did not hear any orders being called out. I walked over to the rack that had three items that were still sitting since we originally walked in. I was trying to see the name on the bag. I was promptly scolded by the lady that was supposed to be calling out names and packaging the orders. She said " don't touch those, that's why there is a rope." I started: in the 10 minutes that we had been standing there waiting she had not called out the names for those items and I was checking to see how if they might be ours. She was rude about it. She waited a bit more and then called out those items names. There was now a few more items that were sitting on the counter rack that still had not been called out. But we waited. It was 1152 and I walked up to the counter and said our order should have been done close to 30 minutes ago. And the phone order lady was rude, and not really calling out orders so people could know if theirs was ready. The nice lady that was taking regular orders let me know that they only had 6 egg cookers. And they were doing the best they could. (Understandable) however the phone order lady could be calling out orders more often so if someone that walked in would know if theirs was ready and sitting there. Overall the food was still good but owner / manager/ corporate needs to address the lack of egg cookers and have some type of board that states what orders are ready so customers are not standing there for 30 minutes wondering where there order is.

All the donuts looked very appealing, so decisions were hard. We ended up ordering the Mango Sticky Rice, Mango Sago, Ube Coconut, and Dubai Chocolate donuts. Also ordered a couple of the chewy Dubai cookies. The donuts were about $6 each. Hubs noted the way the donuts were decorated were like pieces of art. As for the taste, they were good! My fave was the Ube Coconut. The mango ones were good too; the mango flavor really came through. They both tasted pretty much the same - just that one had sticky rice and the other had sago. The donuts were soft and not too sweet. If you like chocolate, you'll love the Dubai Chocolate donut. The chewy Dubai cookie is like a stuffed mochi - quite sweet. If craving sweets, I'd return again, especially for the ube donut. They also have a drink menu that looked interested that I'd like to return to and try.

    The doughnuts here are amazing . I don't consume them all the time nor do I eat lots of doughnuts,…read morethe when I do I believe Elk Grove donuts is the local gold standard. A lot of specialty doughnuts that they create as trends develop. I know my first experience with Dubai chocolate was with their Dubai doughnut and it was delicious. Local family owned, I would definitely check this spot out if you're looking for uniquely diffrent flavors compared to traditional doughnut offerings. They offer diffrent coffee and drink. Typically paired or similar flavor to their unique doughnuts. Imagine a Dubai coffee or mango stick rice drink.
