Noah's Bagels, located in the Marketplace, is a neighborhood deli that serves award winning bagels, artisan breads, home-style soups, signature sandwiches and tasty sweets. On Fridays, they also have Challah. The employees are friendly, the bagels are fresh daily and are made to order on the spot. On weekend mornings Noah's is usually very busy and the line extends to the door, but it moves so quickly that you are in and out quickly.

One bagel costs 99 cents, and a "shmear" (bagel with spread) for only $2.39 They have an extensive menu which includes smoked salmon, egg mits, soups, sandwiches, salads, "Heavenly Chocolate-Chip Cookies", muffins, strudels, coffee cakes and over 18 different flavors of bagels. Noah's now features PIZZA BAGELS which are incredible. You can get cheese, pepperoni, spinach and mushroom, or you can customize you own. They are made to order and also come with a side salad— talk about a complete meal (and very filling). Noah's has also extended their sandwich line to include wraps. Their breakfast wrap, the Sante Fe, weighs over a pound!

Their bagel flavors include:

Plain Sesame
Asiago Poppy Dip'd
Cinnamon Raisin Blueberry
Chocolate Chip
Whole Wheat, WW Sesame and WW Good Grains
Good Egg Cracked Peppercorn
Salted Garlic
Super Onion Everything
Sourdough

They also have Gourmet Bagels....

They also carry 5 different coffee flavors daily.

There is ample seating at Noah's. Inside is counter seating and well as the large patio outside. Many patrons sit outside to enjoy the day, read the newspaper, like the Sac Bee, or just relax and enjoy the good food and friends. Noah's is "dog friendly" as well. They offer bowls of water to the their furry friends and they also carry Doggie bagels, made especially with your canine in mind. Everyone deserves a treat when the visit Noah's.

Like every Noah's Bagels, photographs from turn of the century New York line the walls.

Noah's also has Catering "Nosh Boxes". These are perfect for breakfast or lunch. You can get a variety of bagels and shmears, sandwiches, salads and pastries. They also deliver for a nominal fee.

They also sell a selection of coffees. (Though why one would choose to drink this coffee over Peet's is beyond me.) - =|

My favorite is the group picture of a NY women's sport team. They just have this amused look on their faces, as if the photographer was having trouble getting them to stop laughing. - =)

I just went to Noah's and tried their Reuben ... yummy! —SS

2006-03-06 16:20:42   I really think that Noah’s has gone downhill in the last couple years. In the last 3 or 4 visits, I can’t think of one that has been completely accurate. The wrong creamcheese, forgetting the lox, not doing any toasting

2006-03-06 16:30:33   Yeah I've been disappointed by Noah's ever since they got rid of their four cheese grilled cheese bagel. Was one of the greatest sandwiches in the history of the sandwich. —ZacMorris

2006-04-08 19:46:14   I love bagels! Tony was so very helpful! yay! —VeronicaVillegas.

2006-04-20 02:10:54   This is a revelation, I didn't know that there was a Noah's in Davis. Excellent! —TusharRawat

2006-06-16 12:05:16   I second the going downhill comment. When they did all their expanded sandwiches they took the smoked whitefish salad off the Menu. Le Boo. Bagels are decent, I like mine with lox creamcheese, tomato and onion. Avoid their "Egg Mits" They microwave the egg till its flavoless and has an awfull texture. —CharlesGeorge

2006-06-16 18:28:53   I don't go there anymore since the took away the whitefish salad. I loved that sandwich so much I almost cried when they told me it was no more. Where can I find anything comparable? —WayneSchiller

2006-09-28 17:23:10   Gone downhill? Wait, you hear that? Whaaaaaaaaa!!!! Oh that was the whambulence, haters. This place has tasted the same until high school, ITS BAGELS. Oh, the jalapeno salsa schmear, actually pretty yummy. —SteveBlais

2006-09-28 17:24:35   Since high school, sorry I'm tired stayed up late to study for a midterm. —SteveBlais

2006-11-08 20:49:22   bagels are good. but if your have ever been to 52nd street bagel in so cal, its much better because theyre more flavorful —AnnThiNguyen

2007-12-15 17:07:17   The staff there is very friendly. The service is quick; even when there's a line out the door, I don't wait for more than 10 minutes. The spinach, egg and bacon panini is delicious —drpottsiv

2008-01-17 21:52:35   yumm!! even the plain bagel with just plain cream cheese is awesome...never to sweet or too heavy like others... —SimplyIncognito

2008-11-09 14:16:08   "Noah's doesn't sell bagels, they sell bagel shaped bread." There was a great SNR article a year ago, a blind taste test which Noah's almost unanimously lost (against local Sacramento area bagel shops). Bagels are supposed to be boiled and then baked - dense and chewy. Noah's differs greatly in method (not boiled! either steamed or steam treated or use steam-ovens or some such thing) to get'em lighter and fluffier, and I think I've read about using some sort of oil to help keep'em from being dry. Quite a difference! I'm surprised no one commented about that over the years. I ate here reasonably frequently when I lived in North and West Davis, but please people: be sure to try real bagels at other places! I'm sure JW knows what I'm talking about. —EdWins

2009-03-03 13:51:30   SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I recently had a BAD customer service experience at Noah's. READ THIS STORY AND BOYCOTT NOAH'S FOR SHITTY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the employees handed me the wrong bagel, and i was holding it in my hand as I paid. (Which is fine, ok, people make mistakes)...

When I got back to my office I noticed that it was the wrong bagel with smear i was allergic to. So I had to go BACK to Noah's to get the RIGHT bagel, in the rain, got soaking wet, and it took about a half hour to drive back, find parking, wait for the bagel that they said would be ready when I got there but it wasn't... all the meanwhile I'm on a deadline at work which has now passed... (Which is also fine, shit happens).... But all this....

...TO BE COMPLETELY INSULTED BY THE EMPLOYEE!

First, he accused me of "grabbing the wrong bagel" even though he HANDED it to me and saw me HOLDING the bagel while I was paying for it. He basically called me stupid for not noticing it was not mine, even though it was in the bag already at that time ("It SAID Vikki on it, not your name... not my fault!"). If that wasn't RUDE ENOUGH!!!!!! he noticed my angst as I was waiting for the bagel and missing my work deadline and said "dude, don't you work like, down the street?" What an ass. I NEVER make rude comments on wiki, but when it comes to treating people, especially CUSTOMERS with respect, that irks me.

I work in customer service, and you should always treat that person with at LEAST respect, if not like royalty. GET A CLUE, NOAH EMPLOYEE! Never going there again. —Squeekyclean

2009-03-04 19:11:34   No, I'm upset at Noah's for not training their staff to be professional. So, I still hold my comment to be valid. I'm very passionate about great customer service so bad service is a peeve. If Noah's does not train their staff on the importance of customer service, then they suck and people should not go there! —Squeekyclean

2009-06-06 06:58:46   I just got a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a bagel and the soup was BAD! I called them and they said I can get a refund or they would give me a fresh bowl (it wasn't even fresh, i saw them microwave it). I went back to get my refund, they didn't even apologize. NOTHING. —AngelaJ

2009-07-30 09:19:10   I've now had two equally horrendous experiences at this joint and my wife and I both decided we're never going back. Both times I've gone, I've had to wait 20 minutes-plus for a bagel people, not a bagel with anything special - just a "smear" or whatever they call it. Also, both times, the person taking the order recognized someone in line behind me and made a B-line to take their order before mine. Finally, this last time, after waiting like I said for more than 20 minutes, I see a guy place an order on the counter, but not call anyone's name. I assumed maybe the order wasn't finished. He was going to put more up there, or whatever, anyway, they call your name when your order's ready. This time, he placed the order on the counter, looked around sheepishly, and just walked back to do his slow-paced work. After it sat up there for five minutes getting cold, I walked up and saw that it was my order. To add insult to injury, the coffee tastes like slightly darkened water. No wonder they give you bottomless coffee. You'd have to drink an entire batch to get the buzz you get from a cup from anywhere else. I tried two different blends, thinking the first was just a fluke, and it was still horrible.

I think the only reason so many people go there is it's the only breakfast joint on that end of Davis. BTW: I grew up in Philly and New York, and these things, I don't know what you call them, but "bagel" is a charitable word at best. More like "chewy-bread with a hole in the middle." The only positive I give is the strawberry smear, which is delicious no doubt. I rarely leave such a negative comment but I'm just so disappointed in a place that tries to come off as some New York delicatessen when they know and I know, this place has a long way to go to meet those standards.

In NYC, they know that smiling and making small talk is no substitute for good food and timely service. —condemned2bfree

2009-10-09 10:00:55   I really don't get why every one is so upset with Noah's. Its a freaking bagel chain not a three star michelin. We don't complain about the quality of the meat at McDonald's because we know its crap and its supposed to be. We don't cry about how bad the service is at Carl's Junior because we know that they get paid nothing to do demeaning work. I mean seriously... "I'm from New York and blah blah blah..." "They made we miss my work deadline blah blah blah..." "Bagels are supposed to be boiled not steamed blah..." you get the point. I guess I just want to clarify to those who are reading this and aren't familiar with Noah's; ITS A CHAIN don't expect anything more than what you would get at any other corporate eatery. If you want quality and kindness support small business. —swiftling

2009-11-19 23:38:29   I'm addicted to their bagels with LOX and cream Cheese. OMG their lox is so amazing. —BryceH
