Noah’s Bagels

I stop at Noah’s a few times during the week to pick up some bagels for my office on the way into work and service is always quick and painless. Everyone in my office seems to be a fan of the french toast bagel (I’m not even joking, fights have broken over who gets to eat it). The bagels are always fresh and smell AMAZING. Unfortunately, my favorite was the sun dried tomato cream cheese which as since been discontinued :(Metered parking out front can be kind of difficult depending on what time of the day you go

Any mathematicians?
One guy says: Hey how you doing?
Second guy says as he is mimicking to draw a straight line & says: I’m straight… I’m 180.
(180 degree angle is equivalent to a straight line…
More obviously stating I’m straight…
But subtly inferring I’m cool.)
Anyways, all to state this place is a straight SOLID!
(Another geometric 3-​dimensional twist for you!)
I never truly learned to appreciate this place until I discovered their Baker’s Dozen Bagel Box!
If you order it just with the dozen it’s $ 10.99.
If you order it with the dozen + a choice of 2 spreads it’s $ 14.99.
In the end, those prices are both a major steal and a highlight to any office or drop in situation.
Everyone wins with a Baker’s Dozen Bagel Box.

I should have believed the other reviews. I’m not sure what this sorry excuse for a bagel is but I may as well have gotten a lenders. I didn’t get my full order as I asked for pickles and didn’t get any. Bagel was supposed to be toasted and it was soggy and undercooked. Had to get a different bagel because they ran out of onion at noon and it was going to be thirty minutes before more came out??? Go to the Noahs in Burbank, they’re much better.

I am really conflicted about this place. It’s not that the food isn’t good, or the bagels aren’t good, it’s that I have been there at various times of the day or week, and it seems like they are always short on one type of bagel or another.
On one weekend I came in at about 10am and they were out of plain and sesame bagels. I asked them how is it possible and got a generic response.
This is a bagel shop… how do you run out of bagels? You have a facility in the back, ovens etc. tell me you cannot get someone in back to make more bagels. Better yet, you have been in business for so long, how hard is it to know that you need X% more bagels on Sat. or Sun… or do you just don’t care enough?!
Just yesterday ¹¹⁄₁₇ I went in there at 1:30pm and there were 2, I kid you not, 2 plain bagels left on the shelf. Seriously? Are you waiting for a sign from above to know that you need more plain bagels or do you just not give a _​_​_​_​_​_​enough to do anything about it?
It is this kind of oversight that drives customers to a competitor.

Great spot to grab some Breakfast for the team before a Sales Meeting! The Bakers dozen and 2 tubs of cream cheese for $ 15 bucks :)

Either the quality went down at Noah’s or other bagel places raised their quality. Regardless, my egg and cheese sandwich on a toasted sesame bagel had no flavor. The eggs were bland and I couldn’t taste the cheese.
* If there was bacon in the sandwich, it also didn’t have any flavor and was unmemorable.

So, I hope the corporate office sees this.
This location has three register stations yet they choose to run the register farthest from the only menu that customers can see. It just doesn’t make sense. If I walk straight to the register, which I did today, then I can’t see the menu.
So, the average person would say, why not walk to the menu then walk back? Sounds reasonable. But why not put the menu or add a second menu where you take orders from your paying customers?

How long does it take for three people to make a toasted bagel and shmear. The assembly line does not work. They need to learn from Subway!!!

Been coming here since I was a kid. Bagels are bagels. Though they don’t have the bialy anymore, the bagels are still pretty decent

Today was the last straw…
Went to get coffee at sbux next door for the holy grail of breakfast on the go… coffee n bagels! Sadly AS ALWAYS Noahs was out of bagels and had 1 PLAIN left. i think they were filling a big order or something but wouldn’t you think to have 2^nd and 3^rd string bagels? i mean if i had a bagel place i would have backups for my bagels and backups for their backups since people gotta get dem cheeze carbs in.
Oh did you want to get a quick bagel on the way to work in the little 2 minute window before traffic royally effs you going over the hill? LOL good luck. they like to take their time with their customer by having 1 person work the entire shop. VERY effective…
Save your money and go somewhere else. the bagels are over priced and nothing special by any means. You could blindfold customers and feed them bagels from VONS and they wouldn’t know any better.

The food in the display case was VISIBLY ROTTEN!!! The strawberries had MOLD & the salmon was BROWN. Time to call the board of health before they kill somebody. What is wrong with you people?!?

I took two stars off bc the floor and cider station was dirty, which I saw after i purchased.
Other than that, the bagel was great, the coffee was great.
Newsflash: Noah’s has great coffee.
If they were cleaner if give them 5 stars.

This was walking distance from daughter-unit’s apartment so we had three light breakfasts here in three days.
The counter was a little dis-​organized in that the signs said «place order here» and «pay here» but the people behind the counter were operating it totally different. But it seemed to work.
I actually had meat-​and-​bagel sandwiches that were more like lunch items while every one else had more traditional breakfast items. I liked this a lot, I am more of a lunch type guy, even first thing in the morning.
We used the outside seating that is shared with a Jamba Juice or similar and daughter-​unit got her beverages at a Starbucks immediately nearby.
The outside seating accommodated our dogs and other dogs as well, so it is very pet-​friendly. If the weather was untoward I probably would not come here, the inside seating looked a little crowded and lacked the ambiance of the patio.

I’m a bagel fan! I must have my toasted onion with cream cheese lettuce and tomatoes, almost daily, love it!
I was running late and didn’t stop at my regular stop and saw Noah’s in the area, stopped, placed my usual order to go. The place was empty, rare for a bagel shop in this area, but oh well, faster service for me… service was so fast that it seemed the «smear» was almost left off my very dry onion bagel :/​
Put a bit more cc on, please! Discovered it too late, I would’ve paid extra to get what is standard at my the other shop.

So sad to hear this location is closing. We frequent this store on average 3 times a month. No one had actually said «we’re closing» to me but by the state of the inventory at 11am on a Sunday it’s clear they are just selling everything they have left until it’s gone. We ordered 2 «everything» bagels one with Turkey sausage egg and cheese, and the other with Almond cream cheese. Also on the order was a pretzel bagel w/​veggie cream cheese and a whole wheat honey bagel with honey almond cream cheese and a large coffee (Chelsea).
Here’s what we were informed that they didn’t have: Everything bagels, Turkey sausage, pretzel bagels, whole wheat honey bagels, and Chelsea coffee. It’s also obvious that their cream cheese supplies are running low because the 3 bagels we did end up getting with cream cheese had about half the amount they usually do
It’s also a shame that the managers have clearly left the staff without the skills to deal with disappointed patrons (regulars) who are simply looking for answers or timetables or empathy.

It’s unacceptable to have burnt old bagels when making bagel is their only business. They also ran out half of their bagels and it’s not even noon yet. No wonder why this location has such low rating due to the lack of quality control.

This is the worst bagel place.
They RAN OUT of bagels in SEVEN flavors! It’s a weekend… These establishments need to anticipate that they will be busy and have more customers than usual. Don’t come here unless you are ok with eating something total opposite of what you wanted.

«Noah’s New York Bagels»
Ironically it’s a west coast business…
Just your basic bagel place that pretends it can actually compete with the worst bagel in New York (though I’ve never had a bad bagel in Manhattan).
A name like «Noah’s New York Bagels» seems to promise me that perfect, amazing, and delicious bagel that I’ve only found in Manhattan, but here in Los Angeles; however…
It’s a lie, and an affront to bagel’s everywhere.
Don’t promise me a bagel you can’t bake.
I’m sorry but bagels baked by a public company can never compete with the handcrafted by small family owned bagel shop bagels of New York.
So since they started out this relationship dishonestly, I’m not sure what to say.
Besides they’re definitely not New York Bagels.
The customer service is average, I just would’ve liked to see them care about my day a little more…
Western Bagel’s got a better bagel, but this’ll do if your too lazy…
I’d rather fly to New York for a bagel than to eat at this imposter… but that’d be financially wreck less if I did that every time I wanted a bagel.
Honestly bagels are so full of carbs I rarely eat them but I figured today is my cheat day so I deserve it. The problem is that yesterday and the day before were also my cheat day.
Only come here to eat bagels on your chest days or you’ll gain so much weight that you will start to resemble a bagel yourself.

Have you ever walked into a bagel shop and it didn’t have any bagels? Well that’s basically what happened to me. I walked 1.5 miles to the shop because I was craving a bagel, lox and shmear. When I got there, all they had available were sesame and blueberry bagels. No plain bagels? I thought of buying a plain bagel next door at Starbucks and asking them to lox n shmear me.
Very disappointing. Will I give them my business again or will I just trust in Western Bagels?

2014 Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE — ⁹⁹⁄₁₀₀
Yummm, Noah’s Bagels are my FAVORITE bagels ever! They have such a large variety of type of bagels, and also really good schmear (what they call their cream cheese) flavors as well!
I have been to this location a few times so far. I most recently came in today to buy a box of bagels for my co-​workers. They have a box set that comes with 13 bagels (baker’s dozen) + 2 tubs of schmear for $ 15.99, I believe. I ended up going with that one — perfect for a small office! You get to choose any 13 of the classic or signature bagels, which include the following flavors:
CLASSIC:
Everything
Plain
Pumpernickel
Honey Whole Wheat
SIGNATURE:
Asiago Cheese
Blueberry
Chocolate Chip
Cinnamon Raisin
Cinnamon Sugar
Garlic
9-​Grain
Good Egg
Peppercorn Potato
Pretzel
Salt
Sesame
Sourdough
Super Onion
Whole Wheat Sesame
My FAVORITE bagel flavor of all time is the spinach & swiss bagel. IT IS SO GOOD! Unfortunately it’s one of their gourmet flavors, which costs an extra 55 cents, but it’s totally worth it. I get mine toasted with regular schmear and it is TO DIE FOR!
GOURMET:
Challah
Cheddar Jalepeno
Apple Cinnamon
Power Protein
Six Cheese
Spinach & Swiss
Tuscan Pesto
They also have different bagel items besides your traditional bagels, such as BAGEL CLUSTERS, THINTASTIC BAGELS, BAGEL POPPERS, and bulk bagels.
In additional to bagels, they have coffee & espresso drinks, egg sandwiches, etc.
The employees here have been fine. Nothing noteworthy, but nothing horrendous or absolutely terrible.
Parking is kind of annoying because this Noah’s is located right on the ever-​so-​busy Ventura Blvd. There’s metered parking out front, and supposedly a garage out back that Noah validates for! I’ve never used it but I’ve heard it’s back there.
Overall, I’m a die-​hard Noah’s fan. They will always be my favorite!
AND NOW I’VE COMPLETED THE Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE! YAY!
Who’s up for the 365 challenge, now? ;)
