The jalapeno bagels are good here. Really good. The place is not too special, always seem crowded when there are more than one person in here. For some strage reason they don't toast the bagels very well, they just get warm and mushy.

Still, for coffee, this place is a great alternative to Starbucks which is, like, 25 feet away. Personally I try to avoid Starbucks if I can help it. Nice little out door patio area to relax in.

I'm a big bagel fan, but this particular location has disappointed me quite a few times. (I keep going back just out of convenience to satisfy my bagel craving.) Their bagel selection is often limited if you show up when I do, usually in the early afternoon.

This particular location is no different from other franchise locations, except that 2 out of 3 times you will get a customer service person that will get your order wrong.  For whatever reason, "extra toasted" and "no capers" seems to mean nothing to them.  

One particular perk to this location is that it is next door to Starbucks, so if you want your bagel and coffee, it's a very convenient stop.

I LOVE NOAH'S BAGELS!!!

I always get the jalapeno & cheese bagel with plain cream cheese or the sundried tomato pesto bagel with plain cream cheese.  Sometimes I get a flavored cream cheese but then the flavors become overwhelming.  

You got to be careful with the jalapeno one because they're bunched up in the center of the bagel and you might end up taking a bite into a huge chunk of it.  So I pick some off and re-distribute it to other areas of the bagel.  

These two are considred "gourmet bagels" and are actually a lot lighter/airy than their other bagels.  It feels less condensed with bread.  They are overly generous with cream cheese; I always end up scraping at least half of it off.

Bagels are a decent size.  Chewy, but could be better.  Nonetheless, still like this place for bagels and their cream cheese.

mmmMm I love Noah's Bagels. Came here around 11AM this morning after craving for some freshly toasted bagels. I had a minestrone soup and Poppyseed Bagel w/Onion and Chives Cream Cheese. The place was full and there was a pretty long line when I came in. Although this was the case, the staff was on top of everything and working very hard and fast to get everyone's orders made quickly and efficiently. The staff here is also very friendly and energetic and seem to love their job- which is cool since I'm sure they've been working since very early. Anyhow, the bagels here are always fresh and very good and I love how they give you A LOT of cream cheese.. yummy. The soup I ordered wasn't hot, but I'm not really caring too much for that since it is Noah's "Bagels" and not Noah's "Soups". All that matters is that the bagel was toasted and fresh and delicious. I really want to come back and try one of their egg mit sandwiches.

I tried their sandwich to go here today and it was yummy. They were quite crowded but it didn't take too long, maybe 5 minutes, for me to go in, order, and pick up my order and leave. I've come here before and gotten their breakfast bagel a long time ago and it was good also. As for their bagels themselves, I really like the chocolate ones for some reason.

I love eating breakfast here, but they can never seem to toast my bagel enough. And what's up with always running out of everything bagels.

Blueberry Bagels are the best. I don't care if others people say this is not authentic NY style bagel. I like my bagel a little fluffy and soft on the inside. Sometimes if you come early enough, the bagels just came out of the oven and still warm....add a little cream cheese... yum...
BTW, they take credit cards, which in my book is always a plus.

I like Noah's Bagels BUT I got to this location about 20 minutes before it closed and seemed pretty irritated that I came in to order and eat in when they were getting stuff put away and close for the day.
They had most of the bagels put away and I had to make do with what they had out.
I knew while we were eating she was keeping an eye out on us hoping we'd leave soon.
That's just so tacky. I would understand if I came in one minute before closing but I came in about 20 minutes before closing and even managed to eat and get out of there by the time the store was supposed to close so WTH?

Upgraded to four stars.  Last week Noah's shorted me four bagels on my order.  This is the first time it happened and I sent an email to them.  The store manager was very apologetic and responsive.  Noah's is a very well run organization.  I'll keep going back!

/*******************
A very competent bagel.  Nothing earth-shattering but they do have a good selection.

Service is very good and extremely effiicient.  The line can be backed up to the door yet the wait is short.  They have plenty of staff who do work.

Recommended.

Perfect toasted bagels. Schmere was better when it wasn't blended.
