Boasting New York style and great, chewy bagels, this busy eatery satisfies the San Francisco-Peninsula's contingent of East Coast transplants. Steamed rather than boiled and accompanied by a host of cream cheese shmears, Noah's bagels are ideal singly or as a clutch to take home and enjoy. Lest you think that dough is all you'll find, know that Noah's also offers salads, sandwiches, breakfast fare, and rich, aromatic espressos. Bagels with egg, cheese, tomato, spinach, turkey sausage, and even lox make for substantial morning fare. Scones, muffins, and cinnamon rolls, too.

Noah's does its best to reproduce that old New York deli atmosphere with black-and-white photos of the Lower East Side and tiled subway signs right here in Silicon Valley. Cinnamon rolls and blueberry scones and strong coffee greet early-morning travelers. For lunch, there's a decent selection of sandwiches on regular sliced bread as well as bagels. While most patrons frequenting this location are just looking for a quick bite, travelers can also get a dozen to go.

It's one thing to have a house full of guests or a fully staffed office, but it's quite another thing to have to feed them. Noah's catering lets you bring all the great tastes from the old neighborhood to your boardroom, break room, or home dining table.
