Noah's Bagels - QFC in U-Village

Noah's is a chain. We went to the one in University Village (inside QFC).

Other than Zatz a Better Bagel, this place is the closest to "east coast authentic" bagel we can find here in Seattle. I definitely do not like their bagel "mits" as much as the bagel sandwiches at Bruegger's (an everywhere but the Pacific Northwest chain), but I don't really have many other options. On this particular visit, I did not get a bagel mit because I did not want to have any eggs. I just ordered an everything bagel, toasted, with smoked salmon schmear (this is what they call cream). We also brought our own mugs of coffee with us because I am not particularly a fan of Noah's coffee.

They screwed up our order and put my smoked salmon schmear on Travis' sun dried tomato bagel and his bagel mit on my everything bagel. This has never happened before. I brought our order back up to the counter and the problem was resolved in a few moments. My bagel was very yummy. I don't really like this location, as it is in a supermarket. I prefer the Noah's on top of Queen Anne hill for the ambiance. I have to judge this restaurant based on all my Noah's experiences and, in that case, I give it an A- (for the bad coffee).

He said: I'll save the long commentary for a real restaurant. Michelle wouldn't let me comment on Wendy's in Ballard even though we actually got an entire meal there and we only got bagels at Noah's. (We had already made our own coffee at home and had it with us for grocery shopping.) The review: bagels good, service bad (screwed up order - vida supra). B-.

NOTHING compares to a Bruegger's bagel folks. Nothing.
