Tried a few of the Pumpkin items at Noah's Pumpkin bagel - Standard Noah's bagel with a pumpkin tinge to it but little pumpkin flavor Pumpkin smear – mainly relies on spicing for flavor. Sort of along the pumpkin cheesecake... (1 reply, last updated by ilovepumpkins November 14, 2008)

I noticed that the 3 closest former Noah's Bagels (National/Barrington, Pico/Beverwil, and Pico/Westwood) are now a faux french bakery type of place. Does anyone know if this bakery bought out the chain in this area or is it... (4 replies, last updated by Mike Kilgore October 20, 2001)

not have as many different types of bagels, but I have never been told that they are ‘sold out’ of the type of bagel I want. They are also much better than Noah's, because they also have cookies and heavenly,... (20 replies, last updated by The Chowhound Team October 19, 2007)

I don’t want to get into a discussion of the relative merits of Noah's bagels, but I got some bagels today from my local and found them spngier and more wonderbready than I remember. Has anyone else noticed a change... (3 replies, last updated by free sample addict aka Tracy L October 27, 2009)

hand, if you’re looking for bread in ring shapes masquerading as bagels (light, airy, puffy) there’s always Noah's. I haven’t done any OC bagel research yet... I’m honestly not expecting much. (18 replies, last updated by Mr Taster March 11, 2007)

(With All due acknowledgement that Noah's Bagels is not well respected on this board AND that "peppercorn bagels" do not appear, anywhere, on the authentic-bagel-radar) My chowpup LOVED them (they’ve been discontinued) and... (0 replies, last updated by l.g.i. February 3, 2004)

What’s the best place to get bagels in San Francisco? I’ve been pretty unimpressed by Noah's. (9 replies, last updated by ironmom September 11, 2002)

I’m tired of Noah's Bagels, where can a New York girl get a good freakin' bagel in Portland? (2 replies, last updated by Rachel M. April 10, 2001)

I know it’s probably impossible to find a true NY bagel in L.A., but which place comes closest? I’ve tried Goldstein’s and find it too floury and the crust lacks good, well, crustiness, and Noah's is just OK,... (13 replies, last updated by ciao ny September 29, 2004)

've heard they’re criminally expensive. There’s also the Brooklyn Bagels factory in East Hollywood, which I’ve yet to hit but also is rumored to be good... Are there any other’s out there worth trying?... (12 replies, last updated by lanetechie June 30, 2008)

It’s hard to find good bagels in Portland. Noah's are okay but rather bready and they lack that distinctive crust of Northeast bagels. One day at Stumptown coffee I had a decent bagel and they said it came from the Broadway... (3 replies, last updated by lisa September 20, 2004)

I like Murray’s the best. Ess-a-bagel is OK, but too big for my taste. I’d skip H&H, as the style of bagel they serve is pretty similar to Noah's in the Bay Area. (11 replies, last updated by sea97horse August 24, 2007)

for bagels (good for other items), but it moved anyway. Canter’s is not bad. Broadway Deli on the SM Promenade is pretty good. I’ll eat Noah's in a pinch, but I’m not a fan. What else is around that I might not... (26 replies, last updated by mike g. February 21, 2006)

The old I n Joy on Pico were the best! Since that’s now gone – I too recommend Brooklyn Bagel. We get a few fresh and always a dozen frozen, to have on hand. And I confess, I agree – the description of a white... (151 replies, last updated by apple7blue October 2, 2009)
