I was parked right out front of the store and witnessed an employee organizing or going through their trash bins which were out on the sidewalk and yelling profanities. It was definitely a Noah's employee as he had the 'nosh' apron on. Quite unprofessional to be screaming profanities so loud while working like that. read more

ZERO stars that's is what they deserve, they messed up my order two times. I were so happy to finally find a place, where sells delicious food. I ordered the Texas brisket onion bagel, they sent to me, jalapeño bagel. I hate spicy food, after I gave a second chance. My order was Texas brisket onion bagel, I got two plain bagels. Enough not buying anything from this place anymore. read more

Noah's NY Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

Absolutely delicious bagel sandwich, I think my new fav! If you haven't tried this place please stop by and try the double stack sandwich ( I replace the bacon with avocado) and thank me later! Fresh, perfectly toasted bagel (with no black char), well made eggs and fresh avocado + delicious cheese and sauce - this is a great combination! It is very well priced for the good flavours too. The staff is very friendly and they open really early in the morning when food options are less making it a great place to grab bagels on the go to enjoy during a hike/ beach day! I will be back :) read more

Slowest service ever!!! 4 people behind the counter and all 4 running around trying to take and fill orders..looked at each other trying to figure out what to do..which order to fill ..sad read more

Don't buy here. They skimp!!! Or mess up AND skimp. Its a really bad location, and nothing is prepared well. I've tried this location many times out of habit but im done read more

I ordered this to go and it was a regular carry out experience. I changed the bagel on the sandwich which made it better. The cheese taste came more from the bagel than the cheddar. read more

Noah's NY Bagels - Turkey-Sausage & Cheddar - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

In the base material of our reality, this place is located on Solano, near the top. In the spiritual world, though, it lies prone and bleeding where Fast Food Street and Crap Service Avenue slam into each other at 60 miles per hour, every hour, on the hour between 5 AM and 2 PM, seven days a week. By the numbers, because that's how I do it: 1) Food: It's adequate for a bagel, but the more involved options may cause some concern. A while back I stopped in and ordered a bagel option involving an egg. I wish I hadn't because it was, to be polite, disgusting. That lone instance cured me of ordering anything beyond the basic bagel. 2) Service: See my rating above? Well, two of the missing four stars are gone because of the service. Dead eyed stares, intentional misdirection, and barely concealed hostility are pretty much the norm directly across from the Golden Gate Bridge, however, parading these fine qualities at 6:30 in the morning is an innovation of note. Yes, there's worse out there, but come on. 3) Ambiance: Cramped and corporate. Soak it in. 4) Location: Berkeley. I'm not a fan. read more

I love there bagels you get it very quickly and it's always very tasty. Over all great service and yummy food

​I have been a customer of Noah's for a long time, but my last two recent visits to the Solano Avenue (Berkeley) location have been unacceptable. The store clearly has major operational issues regarding inventory and customer service. ​On both occasions, I placed an in-person order and did not receive what I paid for. The staff demonstrated a complete lack of regard for order accuracy or customer preference: ​Missing Ingredients/Overcharge: I was charged for add-ons (specifically tomatoes) that were completely omitted from my order without any warning or refund. They just left them off and failed to communicate the shortage. ​Arbitrary Substitutions: When a specific requested item was out of stock (like a Poppy Seed Bagel), the staff simply substituted it with a different bagel of their choosing without consulting me or offering an alternative selection. ​I understand inventory shortages happen, but proper customer service dictates that you inform the customer immediately when an item is unavailable and give them the choice to pick a replacement or receive a refund for the missing component. ​This level of poor service and negligence regarding customer orders is appalling. I miss the quality and service of the "old days" and will not be returning to this location read more

At 9am, I called and ordered 2 boxes (each box with a baker's dozen) of bagels with cream cheese for a 10:15am pick up. When I arrived, they said "they were slammed" and I would need to wait for the next batch of bagels to come out. I asked when that would be. The response? 30 minutes! They didn't prioritize my order? What's the point of ordering in advance? I was buying them for the oncology nurses at the infusion center who have been caring for my terminally ill loved one and many others. I could NOT wait 30 minutes and miss his appointment. It's only when I asked to speak to the manager that the woman who I was actually speaking with identified herself as the manager-- she didn't seem very sorry but did offer to give me the bagels for free the next time. No thank you. I honestly have concerns about Noah Bagel's business model and practices. read more

Today was the third time that they have gotten it wrong. Twice now, even after selecting onion bagel, they sent me plain bagel. One time, they got the bagel correct but added bacon to the order... I'm a vegetarian! This is going to be the last order I ever place with them. Too disappointing and too difficult to correct. They seem to not be paying much attention to what they are doing and they SHOULD! read more

On the rare occasion they get your order right, It is still a mediocre at best. For almost $11 you get this much Lox. read more

Noah's NY Bagels - Rip off lox bagel - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

I have loved Noah's bagels ever since I was a child there is something special about a fresh, warm, soft bagel with lox & shmear warms the body right in the morning. The atmosphere is small but always smells amazing with fresh bagels coming out all the time. My personal favorite bagel is an onion bagel with Lox & regular shmear lightly toasted OMG! it makes the morning so much more worth it. Their prices aren't bad either it's still cheaper than a cup of coffee at Starbucks lol! The staff is attentive and work very hard but always have a great attitude. If you want a warm soft delicious bagel come here you won't be disappointed! read more

I found paper INSIDE my bagel 3x and ive asked for plain bagel almost everytime and they give different bread everytime. They also put tomato in my bagel after I requested for none because of allergies. read more

I almost never write reviews, and when I do they are almost always positive. But I have to share how poor my experience was here. I did a mobile order, went to pick up my food and no one was near the pickup counter although there were a bunch of employees in the back end of the store. The store did not seem very busy for how many employees were there. I went to grab my food and try to get someone's attention to say thank you to staff, but none of them are paying attention. I immediately noticed that my iced coffee was made hot, which I didn't care too much about because I was in a hurry. When I got home, I noticed that they had made my order incorrectly as well. I do not recommend going to this location, there are other local spots that can give you much better service. read more

I haven't been this disappointed with a food order in a long time. I ordered the Half Dozen Bagels with Schmear via DoorDash and received only 4 bagels--without any schmear. I also ordered two Single Bagels with Schmear, but there was barely any cream cheese, and the bread wasn't even a bagel; it was floury, lacked a hole, and seemed like a different type of bread altogether. For nearly $50, I expected the order to at least resemble what I paid for. read more

I would give 2 stars but overall, it's a 1 star situation. I'd give 1.5 stars because the workers were reasonably nice. I ordered online 4 breakfast sandwiches, 4 hashbrowns and a cinnamon roll. With tax and a 20% tip, the order was $83. I got there and noticed the workers did not add utensils and did not slice bagels in half as requested. I asked them to and they did with no hassle so I added an additional $5 cash tip for their trouble. Then I got to my destination and discovered that my order was incorrectly filled. I ordered double egg on each bagel and got single egg. And I can guarantee we got shorted on meat. There was barely an ounce of brisket on my bagel and hardly any meat on the other 3 sandwiches. According to the website, there's supposed to be 2 ounces of meat on each bagel. This was an embarrassing disappointment to those I was feeding. They were all enthusiastic when I said I was bringing Noah's and then it was uncomfortable silence thereafter. I called and reported being shorted and I was told to go online or come back for a refund of the eggs only. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to seek a refund online can't get back there before close so I guess I learned a very expensive lesson. Not coming back. Happy Donuts for breakfast sandwiches it is! read more

I ordered a Bacon and Cheddar breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel, a heavenly chocolate chip cookie and a small orange juice. The bagel was delicious, the bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted. The egg was a real egg! That's extra plus points with me! The cookie was so decadent and the OJ was cold and fresh. Good job Noah's! read more

Does anyone else get that random craving for bagels? lol. Noah's bagels are light, fluffy, airy, and a bit chewy. I recommend ordering them toasted well done and they come out perfectly every time. The prices are quite reasonable and the bagels are fresh. I ordered the jalapeno cheddar bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese and a fresh squeezed orange juice. I took it to go and enjoyed it at the racetrack. Lunch with a view! Not to start the Bay's best bagel war, but send me your favorite bagel recommendations :) read more

It's really a good place. You have many options on the menu. The food is delicious and suitable for the price you pay

The experience/workers were fine just that this is my third time when I have missing items when I purchase from the store. The first two times were because they didn't add double egg or the correct egg .This time and will be my last time I will order from this store, THEY FORGOT THE BACON!!!! The only protein in my bagel sandwich. Shame because I always came to this store because it's so near to my home. I understand no one is perfect, but we can work on being correct. read more

Food good service lousy cashier girl stayed on her phone ignoring customers. Stay home if you don't wanna work. Just saying

I have been cravingggg for some cinnamon bagels from Noah's since I tried it a couple weeks ago at work. I was a bit skeptical to stop by this location because of some of the negative reviews I saw but decided I would treat myself to some brunch here. I ordered ahead and ordered the cinnamon sugar bagel with honey almond spread, the Nova Lox Sandwich, a cookie and their blackberry lemonade. My order did not disappoint. The Nova Lox Sandwich was DELICIOUS. This will probably be my go-to whenever I visit again. I've never tried a sandwich with salmon inside of it but wanted to be a little adventurous with my food and I do not regret buying it. I wasn't a fan of the chocolate chip cookie. It was very hard, they might have baked it for too long. The BlackBerry lemonade was SOO good. The sweet flavor of blackberry and the tangyness of the lemonade was a great combo. The cinnamon and sugar bagel had a nice amount of spread inside (they definitely didn't skimp on that.) Food and beverage: 4/5.... Would have been 5 if the cookie wasn't so hard. The Nova Lox and lemonade drink were definitely a 5.... That might be all I order from here from now on. Service: 5/5 the male cashier was very nice and friendly. Atmosphere/Inside: a clean and nice environment Parking: limited street parking that you have to pay for.... Maybe.... Overall: 4/5 stars... Btw I opted for the asiago bagel instead of the plain bagel for the Nova Lox read more

It has been years since I have been to Noah's bagels and this was my first time at this specific location. I walked in and was greeted by a tall slender gentleman who advised someone would be with me shortly. I was then assisted by Juliette who was extremely patient as I was debating between either a spinach & swiss bagel or six cheese bagel which when I use to frequent Noah's in the past, was my favorite. Another employee, Olivia chimed in and suggested six cheese, SOLD! I also ordered a caramel macchiato which was good but very sweet. I arrived at work and as I opened my bagel, I Thanked Juliette again in my head. I asked for extra butter and that's EXACTLY what she gave me, PERFECT! I honestly forgot what these yummy bagels tasted like DELISH. The customer service was great but I was honestly surprised the store was not clean at 6:15a given they open at 5:30a. I was thinking to myself how is the floor this dirty in less than one hour, clearly it wasn't cleaned the night before. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Again, the service was great and the bagel was delicious but surprisingly not clean for just opening less than one hour prior and given there were at least 3 ppl working when I arrived, just seemed strange the store wasn't clean. Both the floor and bagel counter needed attention. read more

The biggest bagels! The freshest bagels! Always quick n friendly service. Good selections even later in the day.

Don't waste your $8-12 here. Paying this much and absolutely no where to sit is CRAZY...No seats and no customer service. All wearing masks and don't give a crap about you. Go down the street to Peet's coffee! Plenty of seating! Better food, seating outside, and MUCH better coffee! read more

On the one hand we don't think of Noah's as being anything special. On the other hand, when it comes to California, Noah's is kind of the go-to for bagels. If you're in New York it's another story, but we're not in New York. So, today I was craving a bagel and made my way over to Noah's to grab the last jalapeño cheese bagel, toasted w plain shmear. The lady helping me was super nice and friendly. I asked for twice toasted and she even made sure to show me and ask "Is this how you want it?" Yes please! It was golden brown, not burnt. It's not H&H bagels in NYC, it's Noah's on Solano. Recalibrate expectations and you'll be able to enjoy your bagel as much as I did. read more

Noah's NY Bagels - Burned bagel - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

It's Monday and I stopped by this location for the $8 Baker's Dozen deal. Arriving at 11:30, there was a socially distanced line of five customers. They did a good job in placing markers on the ground as to where customers were to stand inside and outside the store. Seeing the fairly empty bagel display case, I was concerned that they were out of stock in the varieties I wanted to buy. The worker said more bagels were being baked and would be ready in 45 minutes. I placed my order for Blueberry and Everything bagels, paid and was told that my order would be ready for pickup when I returned. Returning in 45 minutes, my order was packed and ready for my pickup. Workers were courteous and efficient. Metered parking was plentiful on Solano Ave and unmetered spaced around the corner on The Alameda. read more

Every now and then, my guy and I will go over to Solano to get bagels for breakfast. We always order the same thing, the Nova Lox Bagels on everything bagels with red onion, capers and cream cheese. We then go outside to eat them outside while people watching on Solano. It's kinda of our Noah's ritual. Someday I may venture out and try something else, but I just love these bagels. read more

So I ordered delivery once from here and was not at all satisfied with my order (see previous review). However, on sunday morning (11/12/23) I thought I would go in and give this place another try as I enjoy the bagels, and I quickly learned why my order got messed up. The stress. I was embarrassed by the number of people who were outright rude to the staff. I get mornings aren't for everyone. I myself am not a morning, afternoon, evening, or night person. Yet, I at least know not to be a complete a$$ to the people just trying to do their job and who are touching my food. At one point, one of the workers was trying to refill the milk & cream used for coffees, and someone marched right up to the counter and shoved their phone in the workers' face, demanding their pick-up order. I'm being literal, the worker even jerked their head back so they could see the order on the phone. Frankly, I was disgusted to see so many members of my community be so incredibly mean and rude. The condescending tones, snippy replies, and entitled attitudes were just over the top. If this behavior was a constant occurrence at my place of work, I'd quit. No one deserves to be treated that way, and I hope this was just a one-off. Its a pretty cowardly way to treat someone when you know they can not respond because their job depends on it. Thank you to everyone working that morning for maintaining their composure, responding professionally, and keeping positive attitudes. I appreciate you. read more

Just bad. All around not good. The bagels taste like store bought. The "sandwiches" they serve are like 7-11 sandwiches only on a bagel. Gross. I ordered the turkey club... What was I thinking? This was awful. It was literally just a pile of cold slimy turkey slices rolled up like a wad of 1's between two rubberized slices of bread. Just impossible to eat. Also, if you're going to have tomato in a sandwich, don't use a partially frozen unripe red blob and act like it counts. The breakfast sandwich was also bad. Just a pile of melted cheese and some undercooked bacon. No egg either. Just weird. TL;DR: Just get bagels here... I guess... Or don't go. That's also a good idea. read more

Ordered ahead with curbside pickup thanks to new SIP precautions. I hold a soft spot for Noah's bagels egg sandwiches as I grew up enjoying them with my family on weekends. Sadly, the quality/accuracy of order has declined since they reopened with stricter SIP regulations. I used their app to place an order for curbside pickup. **Separate critique for their online food app, the app did not allow me to redeem my free, birthday egg sandwich; which was the initial motivation for me venturing out of the house for a breakfast indulgence.** The Solano location was slammed. I saw multiple families enter/exit while I was parked curbside waiting for my order. Inside, I could only see 2 individuals working; which may account for the subpar experience. I received 2 egg and cheddar bagel sandwiches on the wrong bagels (was supposed to have one everything bagel and one jalapeño cheddar bagel and instead received two, three-cheese bagels). I also ordered 2 large iced coffees and was brought 2 medium iced coffees. I didn't feel like I could speak up about the mix up since they were so busy. The bagel sandwiches were still good, but not what I ordered. I am also bummed that I am unable to redeem my birthday bagel reward when I order ahead. Will probably wait until I can dine-in before I return. read more

Blueberry bagels are not chocolate chip bagels, not even close. If you don't have what someone orders, and you don't have the manpower to call about it, just cancel the order, stop wasting peoples time and money on incorrect assumptions of what would be a fine substitute. Shit gets expensive with food delivery, and paying $20 for some $3 bagels as a treat occasionally is already hard enough, but to get the wrong thing when it arrives? More often than the correct thing? Nah. I'm bouta start calling the location before placing orders to make sure that what I want is actually there, since apparently that's the level of thoroughness I need to have to get my order correct. read more

Overall, solid bagels and quick for on the go meals! Food: B+ Bagels were solid and the cafe latte was good too. They came our fresh, dough was chewy and they gave ample cream cheese. The latte had just the right amount of foam to coffee ratio, although I would have liked a little less milk in mine. Service: A No issues whatsoever. The staff was cordial and efficient. Everything came out in less than 5 minutes. In and out really quickly. Parking: C This area is overall pretty busy so finding parking on the side streets is your better bet. Price: B- For what you get for taste and quantity, it's not the best, but also not the worst. It's overall comparable to Starbucks or other coffee shops. Given the times, it makes sense prices may have adjusted accordingly. Overall: B I would come back here from my positive experience. My items came out quickly to where I didn't it was a hindrance in my schedule. read more

This location needs to close for a day solely to clean. I visited for the first time and it was filthy. The stainless steel cases were covered in at least an inch of dust and dirt and the area with the condiments was nasty. Do better, Noah's. I also watched one of the workers physically move the trash bin with bare hands and immediately turned around and touched patron's food. This is not ok! read more
