If you live in California but are craving a fresh New York-style bagel, you must visit Noah’s Bagels for a mind-blowing experience. Noah’s Bagels is by no means a small bagel bakery but has many stores open all over California. It is a popular eatery that provides some of the freshest, most delicious, and delectably savory bagels available on the West Coast.
Noah’s was started in 1989 by an entrepreneur who brought over the taste of original New York bagels to Berkeley in California with Noah’s Bagels. He showed Californians what an original New York-style bagel tastes like and how the quality of each ingredient matters.
Noah’s Bagels is dedicated to providing customers with products that are high-quality and prepared fresh. The bagel bakery uses cage-free eggs, thick-cut bacon, and bagel dough made from simple ingredients like brown sugar, salt, yeast, flour, and water.
We have compiled some of our top favorites from the bagel bakery below. Try these out on your next visit and see if you agree with our top picks.
Here Are Some of the Best Menu Items from Noah’s Bagels
Asiago Bagel
If you want a no-fuss delicious bagel, you must try the Asiago Bagel from Noah’s Bagels. This bagel is made from asiago cheese chunks and is topped with more asiago cheese for added flavor.
Unlike any other bagel, the asiago bagel isn’t mellow. It packs a punch of flavor and offers patrons a sharp, tangy, and savory flavor that perfectly complements the schmears by the eatery.
Since the asiago cheese is sprinkled on top of asiago bagels before baking, they develop an irresistible aroma that is enough to make you stop in your tracks as you pass by. If it’s your first visit to Noah’s, then you should definitely try a delicious asiago bagel with their cream cheese schmear.

Turkey-Sausage & Cheddar
If you don’t want to eat something greasy when you start your day, you should try the turkey sausage and cheddar bagel sandwich from Noah’s Bagels.
This sandwich is much lighter and healthier than the bacon and cheddar sandwich. You can pick out your favorite bagel for this sandwich paired with one or two eggs, depending on your preference.
The bagel sandwich will also have delicious turkey sausage and cheddar cheese to complement the perfectly cooked eggs. The turkey sausage is well-flavored and pairs well with the sharpness of the cheddar.
Texas Brisket
If you want something different from the regular breakfast-style sandwiches, you should go for the signature egg sandwiches section on the menu. You will find more exciting options in the section and be able to choose more ingredients for your sandwich.
The smoked beef brisket sandwich is the most fantastic signature egg sandwich you can try at Noah’s Bagels.
The smoked beef brisket sandwich contains sweet and smoky beef brisket with a creamy, smoky chipotle aioli which pairs well with the beef brisket and isn’t too cloying or heavily seasoned to take away from the beef’s flavor. These ingredients are sandwiched between a jalapeno bacon gourmet bagel, adding a spicy and mouth-watering umami taste to the sandwich.
Hot Pastrami
Aside from serving delicious breakfast sandwiches to patrons, Noah’s Bagels also serves classic deli sandwiches to customers. They focus on Jewish-American cuisine and serve delicious pastrami sandwiches piled high with well-seasoned pastrami for lunch.
The pastrami sandwiches contain diced pickles, red onion, mustard, and Swiss cheese on a fresh, everything bagel. Each pastrami sandwich is made hot for the patrons so they can enjoy it to the fullest with a side of pickles or chips.
Nova Lox Sandwich
Nothing complements fresh bagels better than lox and cream cheese. When you visit Noah’s Bagels for lunch, you must ask for their Nova Lox sandwich.
Noah’s Bagels prepares fantastic Nova Lox sandwiches with fresh vegetables such as tomato, cucumber, red onion, and capers. Aside from that, the lox sandwich has a plain cream cheese schmear on a plain bagel with soft lox that melts in the mouth as you bite into the sandwich.
If you enjoy this sandwich on a hot day, try it with a cold iced tea or soft drink to refresh yourself.
