I have wonderful memories of Noah's Bagels. During high school, I frequently visited the second Noah's location on College Ave in Oakland, and it was fantastic. I believe Pepsi owns the chain now, and I've made it a point to try different Noah's locations I come across, but they consistently disappoint me. It's disappointing to see what happens to a once-independent business after a big corporation takes over. This particular location near LAX was no exception. They told me they were out of lox spread, so I asked if they had cream cheese and lox. The clerk said yes, so I mentioned that lox spread is typically made by mixing lox pieces with regular cream cheese. He just stared at me blankly....
I've had breakfast with bagels countless times in various shops around the world. What sets this place apart isn’t its flavor or a unique recipe; rather, it’s the shop manager who makes all the difference. He has a remarkable intelligence and excels at customer relations. He remembers your third order and the previous two, and anticipates what you want before you even have to say it. This is someone who truly understands the art of service. The shop is bustling from 5:30 AM to 10 AM, but the manager handles it all brilliantly, connecting with regulars and newcomers alike. Whenever I stop by a few times a month to enjoy that experience, I always make it a point to visit this shop.

Everything at Noah's Bagels is incredibly fresh and tasty! I really enjoy dining here. Today, I had the spinach and mushroom egg white bagel, and I also tried the six cheese and poppyseed bagel, which was delightful. Two of my other favorite options are the cheddar jalapeño bagel and the asiago poppyseed bagel. They offer a wide variety of cream cheeses as well, including blueberry, strawberry, salmon, plain, onion chive, veggie, and my personal favorite, garlic herb. Everything here is delicious. You definitely need to give it a try!

It's always a great way to kick off your workday! At 5:30 in the morning, the staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the products are of high quality. They really understand when you're in a hurry! I absolutely love this place!
Employee did not wash hands before returning from vacuuming the lobby, to take my order. Did not use gloves to prepare my order. Struggled to place bagel inside bag, I'm sure they touched it.
The food is delicious at any time of day, and the staff is friendly. Parking can be a bit tricky, but the restaurant is definitely worth it.
It was a quick and local place to grab a couple of bagels, a smear, and OJ... did it a couple of mornings while in the area all was good.
