Our motto is to serve only the freshest cream puffs from beard papa's kitchen. Our cream puffs do not contain any preservatives. Only the highest quality ingredients go into making them because we want to serve you only the best. We use only natural-grown vanilla beans.

    About Noah's New York Bagels

    In 1989, an entrepreneur with just the right amount of chutzpah dreamed of bringing a taste of his native New York to the Berkeley, California neighborhood he called home. With that, Noah’s New York Bagels introduced the West Coast to high quality, fresh-baked New York-style bagels for the first time. At Noah’s, we believe every bagel should be fresh-baked and that ingredients matter. Our dedication to quality includes cage-free eggs, thick-cut bacon, and bagels made of dough that starts with simple ingredients: flour, water, brown sugar, salt and yeast.

    We guarantee two things: first, a box of our fresh-baked bagels will be gone in a New York minute. Second, we are committed to serving food you feel good about eating, so that your best days start at Noah’s.
