Noe Bagel — Restaurant in San Francisco

5 stars for the bagels -- including their breakfast bagel sandwiches with eggs -- but 3 stars for the ambiance. So I average that to get a 4.

The good: the bagels are made fresh and are soft and tasty. The day old ones are a great deal. I've been getting their breakfast sandwiches for two decades and they are great ... while also affordable. Though as somebody else mentioned, microwaving their pre-made egg mix in Tupperware definitely doesn't impress.

The bad: the store is honestly falling apart. The bathroom literally is. They've put zero effort into updating anything in the 20+ years I've been coming here and it's getting just sad. I get it for a while (save costs to keep prices affordable), but it's time for a major refresh to bring the place into the 21st century. I believe it's really holding them back from a significant increase...

Their lox sandwich is pretty good and tends to be on the bigger side as their lox portion feels generous. The place is spacious but they only have a couple tables inside, I think they have some tables in the back too though. It is amazing how the store front blends in if you don't pay attention, I went past a few times while I meant...

Absolutely delicious!! I took a bite before taking a picture. The bread tasted so so fresh, cream cheese was locally sourced from a James Dairy Farm, and there were so many veggies in the smear. You can tell a difference from Holey Bagel that this place has fresher...
