Noah's New York Bagels - Walnut Creek

One of the chai latte's tasted like the milk was old and the Texas Brisket had egg shells in it. Typically, I love this store, but today wasn't a good look.

This place is usually pretty good. But I've noticed that they've gotten a bit stingy with some of the ingredients. Today, I tried their Texas Brisket sandwich, and it seems that they took a pinch of brisket, nowhere near an even layer as depicted in their photos. The Chorizo Avocado Sunrise sandwich was also decent, but the avocado portion seemed like an afterthought. Decent flavors, though.

The type of sandwiches I ordered was correct. For the Farmhouse I requested it be on the French toast bagel and they put it on a poppyseed cheese bagel. Not sure if they were out but I would have preferred them to put it on a plain bagel if they didn't have the bagel I requested. I recommend ordering at the store so you get in on the bagel you want.

If I could give Noah's Bagels a 0 star rating I would. Time and time again I am disappointed by the service at Noah's. The ingredients are great (which is why every now and then I decide to give them another try) but there's a lack of training and oversight at every Noah's bakery I visit (I worked at one many years ago so I can say this first hand). Today I ordered the garden avocado sandwich which has the incorrect sauce completely changing the taste of the sandwich-I ordered it because of the roasted tomato spread and instead they put chipotle sauce-probably because they look the same. I could also barely detect the avocado on a GARDEN AVOCADO sandwich! It's really unfortunate to pay $20+ and be completely disappointed with my meal. Please do better Noah's, treat your workers better and actually take the time to make sure everyone knows how to make the menu items the correct way.

The only Noah bagels near Concord. Food is good most of the time. Few times we got our meal made not so good.
