How in the world can you be a bagel store and out of bagels at 9am?!?! Come on, man! Two of the popular styles were out and they said they will not make more for another 45 minutes. It's a bagel store! This is either mismanagement or only worried about the bottom line and not making more than they need! What a joke! read more

To the cashier that worked Thursday morning (dark red short hair) 2/15/18, please learn some customer service skills and don't mock your customers when they tell you to have a nice day. If a manager does see this I would highly recommend getting her retrained. read more

My favorite Noah's. They have the BEST iced-coffee for that price. It is better than any other Noah's Bagels for sure. It is strong and flavorful. Plus, you can get a fresh bagel which is more than you can say for most coffee places. I think they do a great job. My favorite is a blueberry bagel with honey almond cream cheese. It is definitely a sweet breakfast treat. read more

Everyone who works here is so nice and the bagels are always super fresh. Same with their coffee. And they are super fast with orders as well read more

Dan, Native New Yorker here. There's no substitute for New York bagels. Noah's is a chain. They happen to be a very GOOD chain -- and much better than their sister stores elsewhere, Einstein Brothers (who don't even carry Salt Bagels) That said, this particular store was the first stop of mine on many a morning commute. I was in many senses a "regular" here for several months. There's a whole other class of regulars, tho -- people you know are just like family, an interesting group to observe, sitting at "the big table" on most of a weekend morning. It's like High School, where there's that one table where the Seniors sit...except these guys are more...Senior. Even though lines build up fairly quickly on the weekends, the staff is amazing. Heavy shout outs to my man Dave (the counter guy). I miss you guys. That said, even though they're a chain doesn't mean you can always expect consistency. While this store carries a solid four (and sorry, a bagel store anywhere other than NYC won't get a five out of me), their smaller sister store in RWC hardly rates a two... (Check for my review of them as well). read more

Food is great but service is slooow in the the am which is not good when I am trying to get to work. I only stop here when I have enough time to spare before work. Other than that I will be returning ;) read more

Slow slow service, you see a line out the door. Need more people working there to get orders done in a timely fashion.

This review is just for the the Wi-fi. Wifi works with valid email.

Bagel sandwiches were just very standard.. Except the mocha was just very gross.. Go to Starbucks across the way.. Bleh...

So I couldn't resist the urge to indulge again.. Whoever said a bagel is equal to 8 slices of bread.. SHUSH! I can't help but think of that whenever I take a bite of my morning goodness.. Ooh toasted sesame bagel with plain schmear.. How I love thee [: So worth the $2.39 and plus I found out an ex-coworker of mine works there! Do I hear hook ups in the future? Free bagel madness! read more

Employees are nice and food is good but please start making more of the Jalapeño cheddar bagels. They are delicious! The last 5 times I have went to Noah's around 9 AM they were out of jalapeño cheddar bagels 4 times. While I waited for my food I heard other customers that are waiting to order say "aghhh they ran out of Jalapeños bagels." My recommendation, double the amount of those bagels in the morning. Thanks read more

Employees are clueless & slow. I am ALWAYS one to give people a chance but it is the same thing everytime. The eggs are gross. The bagels are small but they are fresh and soft & the smear (cream cheeses) are delish. There isn't a another bagel place this close so we seem to keep returning. Ugh.... read more

A hit and miss place for sure. Great egg mits (wish they would cut them in half...and I always forget to ask), the staff is generally friendly. read more

Expect to wait - a long time. Expect rudeness too you are surely going to get it. The food is good here so I will give them 2 stars for that. But I have to agree with the other reviewers the service is the pits. So Bad that I just will not go. But before big tests my daughter likes to get a bagel with salmon... I expect it to be unreasonably slow, I expect to be ignored, but they always come up with new ways to make me angry. Like today I went to get my daughter her favorite pretest bagel with cream cheese and lox, and order a few others for the rest of the family. I ordered 3 egg bagels and one egg bagel with cream cheese and lox. They give me the egg bagels in a bag and tell me "we are out of egg bagels so we are making you cream cheese and lox on plain" are you kidding me- why are you making that decision- ask me what I want. Absolutely rude, stupid and why are you out of egg bagels at 6:30 am??? I wish Noah's would do something about this location, I like a good bagel. read more

Good quality food just don't expect to get in and out in less than 20 min on a Saturday morning. I lack patience even if it's for something that taste like heaven. read more

I don't understand why the employees struggle like they do. We go almost every Saturday with our kids. Without fail, almost every week we have an issue. Usually, it's because we order our bagels and before they get put in our bag, they are given to other customers. We have a 4 year old who gets chocolate chip bagels for having a good week. To get him there and have him see multiple bagels in the case, order them, and then be told they've been given to someone else behind us in line is ridiculous. How do I explain that to my kid? Please do a better job training your employees. At this point, we would rather drive to Pleasanton then continue to put up with your terrible service. read more

Not good bagels. And definitely not in New York fashion. I'm sticking with levys in San Ramon or Posh in Pleasant Hill.

Just like any other Noah's Bagel....but there was a long line almost out the door. The vibe was chaotic in there so we decide to go to the other sandwich shop next door. The service just seemed way to slow at Noah's to wait for a $7 sandwich! read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. Waited 20 minutes and watched everyone behind me in line get their food and went and asked how my order was doing... the lady asked me what I ordered???? They never made my food. very poorly managed read more

This location has its good days and it's bad days but the current staff is great! They take the time to get to know you and truly care about their regulars. Sometimes it's a bit of a wait but by no fault of the employees. Probably not the best place to go if you're in a hurry but if you want a place that knows you this is the spot! Can't beat a good bagel! read more

Oh how I love Noah's Bagels!!! I had a bagel with extra lowfat cream cheese (I know - you don't have to point it out) for breakfast this morning and it was sooo good. It is now lunchtime and I am still pretty full. For some reason it tastes the best when it is to go. I think it is because the cream cheese softens with the warmth of the bagel when it is wrapped up for a few minutes. I don't enjoy them as much when I eat in but whatever it won't stop me from going. Anyway's I especially like the one in Livermore because the staff is friendly and they almost always get the 'extra' cream cheese right - I like a lot of cream cheese. Also, a bribe to Noah's in the morning is the only thing that will get my 6 year old out of bed and dressed and brushed in 5 minutes! He looovvvvess it too:) read more

I'm torn between 1 and 5 stars. Almost all of the reviews fall into two broad catagories - "the bagels are the best!" ~ 5 stars! And "the customer service sucks." ~ 1 star! And both are correct. But most of the customer service problems are caused by the crowds packing the store (seriously, if the crowds went away and a few lay-offs happened, do you think some attitudes might improve?) so I'll split the difference and give them 3 stars ~ "A-OK". read more

I personally love this place. I may actually like their iced caramel Macchiatos better than Starbucks. The staff all seem shy but they're really nice and never messed up any of my orders. I try to go here whenever I'm in livermore. read more

Ive received bad service before and have never felt the need to post about it. Typically an apology is good enough to make good. In this case I received awful service and no responsibility from the manager. this isn't the first time I've had an order go completely wrong and get the response from the manager that I got today. I used DoorDash and show up to the store an hour later, 40 minutes after it should have been ready. They didn't even put it in. I asked if they were going to start it and the manager word for word "if you don't stop interrupting us maybe we can make it". That was the only question I asked of her and she acted as though I'm the inconvenience. I'm just the customer so I guess having an expectation of them to follow through is too much. I don't mind mistakes but I do mind rudeness. They've lost a customer, which I don't think they really care about at the end of the day. read more

Great place for a quick coffee and bagel. Employees are very nice. Seating inside and outside.

I'm not here to slam Noah's as if they're awful, because they're not -- The staff is friendly, the store is clean, although the service is a bit slow, they always got our order right. They have a good selection of coffees. They even have a pretty good selection of pre-packed things for lunches, salads and the like. So if you enjoy their bagels and don't mind paying a little extra, it could be a great place for you. In my view though, if the name of your establishment has a single food item in it (ie: bagel, pizza, chicken), you'd better be good at making at least that item. And even more so if you call out a specific locale (ny, chicago, philly, etc). Noah's is WAY off the mark if you're aiming for a NY Bagel. We found their bagels to be atypically small and in taste/texture/style, not even close to NY (we recently moved here from NY and gave Noah's at least 4 tries to win us over) since it's close to our house and the location is actually pretty nice. I haven't had a good bagel there yet. Mind you, the toppings, shmears, were all good. One visit I had the Nova Lox -- the salmon, onions, capers, etc., were all quite good so I continue to get that when I'm forced to go there, because I enjoy the toppings so I can pretty much ignore the bagel. I found a place that does make excellent bagels similar to those in NY, you can search my other reviews to find it. read more

They never get my order right despite me repeating it multiple times. The bagels are fine nothing to rave about. I have gone several times to give them another try but the results are the same. I'm done with this place. Doesn't deserve 1 star. read more

a bit torn going both ways I only get the bagel box with jalapeño spread. But when I've gone at different times their out of all of the best ones and if you have the time which I don't you have to wait for next batch to come out read more

This morning ordered 2 take out everything bagels with cream cheese and lox, etc. The worst we've ever had. Bad bagels, old lox, and cream cheese that tasted liked whipped heavy cream. It is was disgusting. Needless to say, and to describe the after effect politely, we had upset stomachs. Will never go back there again. read more

Got used to the excellent customer service at the Noah's in downtown SF (Fremont St). With a line going out the door, those guys could turn around a bagel in just a couple minutes, with enthusiasm! Now fast forward to me visiting Livermore Noah's, to get another taste of bagels we all know and love. Going in to the shop there are usually 3-4 people in line with maybe 3-4 people waiting for their bagels and a gaggle of girls behind the counter who are taking their time.. A single toasted/cream cheese bagel for me averages about 5-7 minutes, the customer service is extremely lacking, and they don't take simple orders over the phone (only boxes). Although this is the only bagel shop in town (any competition wouldn't have to try hard to win me over), I will be choosing to go to the local grocery store and try my own hand at buying and prepping my own bagels. They may not taste the same, but at least I'll be happy when I sit down to eat it. read more

The customer service at Noah's Bagel is the best. Being from the southern part of the country we are use to southern hospitality. I would place Noah's up to the best southern hospitality I have had since moving to California. I was ready to leave Stockton a week after I got here because people working in stores and restaurants were so rude. They felt as if you were doing them a favor by coming in, I can go to Noah's, not make it back for 3 weeks and they still know my name. My bagel is always perfect, jalapeño, the smears are delicious and the coffee is top notch. I had it in the car with a friend last week who does not like coffee and commented she had never smelled coffee that good, Chelsea. So, thank you to Noah's Bagel, staff, manager, and owner. I feel very welcomed when I enter your door. Not sure why it shows Noah's Bagel in Livermore. This review is for the Noah's Bagel on Ben Holt in Stockton, CA read more

We stopped here to pick up some bagels for breakfast for all of us before leaving for Reno for a few days. This is definitely a busy location, so be prepared to wait. The service is friendly & efficient & while they have more than just bagels, the bagels are what bring me here. I love the selection of shmeers. I love them all; my choice last week was the smoked salmon on an everything bagel which toasted was nice & chewy with garlic, onions, poppy seeds, & sesame seeds. You do have to wait in a separate line if you are having them toasted, but it imoves efficiently eventhough sometimes they can get backed up. So, for some wonderful New York bagels & shmeers at low prices, Noah's cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys. read more

This place has been one of my favorites my whole life, but lately I've noticed their bagels have been overdone and burnt. They have been not very good.. not going to go back there for a while.. read more

The bagels are delicious! But the customer service sucks. The staff is not friendly and they cater more to the white patrons than any thing else. Talking over orders with customers about trips and personal life, when they should be diligently working to eliminate the huge crowds in the a.m Fremont's location is far more better with customer service and eliminating crowds with their diligent work ethics I give Livermore location THUMBS DOWN! read more

The bagels and cream cheese are very good not as good as bagel street but the customer service was lacking in regards to peoples orders. I got a gralic bagel and cheese bagel with cream cheese on the side. When all the sudden they got busy and they ended up putting the cream cheese on the bagel instead of on the side like I asked. But luckly they where able to fix the problem once I brought it to there attention. Wish I got more cream cheese then what they give out. Over all nice little bagel shop but the attion to detail in a person order is lacking. read more

My husband and I stopped in this morning at 10:45 and orderd two egg sandwiches. Not only did it take 25 minutes to get them but the bagels were not toasted (they were cold) and no salt or pepper after asking for it on the sandwiches. The employee just handed the take out bag to me with barely an acknowlegement of the lenght of the wait. A simple would you like an extra bagel to take home with you, which costs them pennies to make would have softened the wait. I will not go there again which is a shame as I like Noah's bagels but they need to get a handle on helping and satisfying the customers. read more

I actually love this Noah's . Food is excellent and staff is great. I eat breakfast here twice a week. However today i noticed they will be open 6am-2pm on Thanksgiving Day. Really disappointed to see the company doesn't care about the families of their employees. That's too bad. I won't be spending any money here unless their practices change and i hope they do read more

Good bagels and coffee, so -so atmosphere. $5 for a Challah is pricey, but better tasting than the $3.29 Challah at Trader Joes. Service can be slow at Noahs if they are busy. Inside seating is noisy and feels tight/crowded. Better to sit outside if its not too hot. I prefer Panama Red for the vibe and atmosphere read more

I've given Noah's a chance now several times and each time, it's let me down. It is so extremely poorly run (I've worked at Starbucks and Jamba and other similar types of work in the food industry) these poor employees seem to be constantly understaffed and the moral is low. Today, they only had three people working during their morning rush-they were out of coffee (only decaf), half & half, sugar and lids. The place was messy and every time I'm there it's slow-I've seen who I assume is the manager occasionally pop her head out to check on the team (she wore a black chef coat) but didn't helped, just headed to the back. I waited 15 minutes after I ordered a latte for it with only one latte ahead of me because 'there's only one person today who knows how to make it." What is going on?!! Staff needs to be better trained and management needs to be present for the staff!!!! No wonder they don't care/are unhappy/slow/unapologetic when the management isn't there to help, support and hold staff accountable. read more

So I MUST admit, the first time i came, i fell in love with the place. I got one of their thin lunch sandwhiches. The coffee was pretty good as well. So I thought this would be my new spot. The second time i went, i ordered the same thing. But this time, halfway through, i found a nice blond.hair in my sandwhich, Im a brunette. So of course i was disgusted And told them. And yes, they did offer to make me another, And they apologized. So i thought that was good. So this next time i went, just yesterday, i was ordering But the woman taking my order could not understand me. How could she? You have to order over a counter and with all the blending going on, its almost impossible. So when she put in the wrong order, she got upset like it was my fault. And then i ordered a Hazelnut Vanilla Blender thinking it was a cold drink, because on the wall they advertised it with "drinks that will give you the chills" or something like that. And surprise, i get a scorching hot drink. When i tried asking if it was the right one, the woman said "no thats right drink" And kept working . Its all bad. Their workers are rude, and the foods not that great. Id rather eat my own bagels at home. Unless managment or staff changes, I will not be back. read more
