Really good bagels that are cut funny. To me it's not a big deal but I'm sure if this kept happening the owner wouldn't be too happy. But I understand, it's Saturday morning.

Ordered a spinach mushroom egg and swiss bagel on a Saturday morning. It was pretty standard and nothing spectacular. It came out hot and tasted decent. Bagel was toasted appropriately. Service was friendly and fast. I was able to get a cup of water without paying the extra non-resuable cup fee.

This review is for the bagels ONLY. I've experienced nothing but fine service, and the interior is fine as well; industrial hummm aside, it seems like it would be a nice place for me to work. Fine bathrooms too. Wifi. Music's not too loud. But when you call a place """NY""" bagels...and brand your """New York"""-ness everywhere...You're begging for someone from the tristate area, like me, to critique your bagels. And the verdict? Nope, sorry, y'aint got it. It's missing the classic chewiness and density of NY & NJ bagels, and is instead more bready. Mind you, it's obviously *less* 'just bread in a circle' than *supermarket* bagels...but a NY bagel this is not. Add some of their diverse, tasty toppings, and you'll enjoy yourself regardless. But for a bagel purist? It's a miss.

Grab a quick bite or stay and take advantage of their free WiFi. This Noah's is new to the downtown Berkeley scene and is clean, welcoming and spacious when you first enter via Shattuck Ave. I popped in mid-afternoon on a Tuesday looking for a easy/filling meal I could take with me. I ordered the sausage, egg & cheese bagel sandwich on an Asiago bagel. Spent about 5 minutes waiting in line and another 5 minutes waiting on my order. Order was accurate and filling- just a solid "filler meal" when you need something fast and portable!

I absolutely loved Noah's back when they had their Telegraph location. I'm just happier this one is in downtown because it's so much more spacious. It's very clean and bright. Great place to study with a lot of tables and plugs. I love their coffee and pastries. Of course their bagels as well. Staff is nice, coffee area and tables were clean. Also just smells so darn good Overall, just a solid place to go.

I just placed a phone order at their Berkeley store, and I had one of the worst service experiences. What is the point of placing a phone order for pickup if they take more time than just coming in and placing the order! The bagels are pretty good, but I wish they had better service and cared for their customers.

This place is beautiful, clean, great bagels and I was also really surprised by how good the brewed coffee is. Cold brew is great too. Not sure why the reviews aren't better, this is one of my fave new spots on Shattuck

Nice new location- clean, spacious and good bagels. Glad it's here!
I like Noah's bagels. I don't know why this location doesn't have the Monday special 13 bagels for $8. Very disappointing.

Noah's Bagels recently open when I came home for thanksgiving then it's back home to vegas. They are the second business to open in that building after marugame udon and soon Bbox Cafe. This Noah's is different from the rest I'm thankful for them not to be stuffy with high ceilings. Seating is limited counter with AC outlet or regular cushion back seating, but I like the single seater high off the ground with space just enough for laptop. The service was great staff was happy-go-lucky some workers took their break socializing among themselves. I have no problem only when pot ran out of coffee, but they took care of me first cup on the house for the wait and second cup is what I paid. I'm not sure when they started nitro and cold brew coffee, but it's cheaper than most third wave coffee and decent, strong. Apple & cinnamon bagel was good real pieces of chopped apples had mushy apple taste from bulk commercial out of bucket type, but strusel crumbs were good. Coffee is strong and decent depending on which flavor you choose. #northberkeley #bagel #nitrocoffee #coldbrewcoffee #counterseating #wifi #breakfastcombo #boxcoffeecarrier #corporatecatering #nicestaff #grabngobagelbox #noahsapp #cagefreeegss #twicebakedhashbrown

Extremely long wait times. Was not at all busy but I waited over half an hour to get my food. Will not be coming back until they get it together...
