The Nosh Cafe

Excluding the bagels, I really enjoy this place. It's an inviting cafe with some of the best hash browns in the Valley, and the food and presentation are above average.Alas, I'm not a fan of their bagels, which are just oversized puffy soft rolls. They are not boiled like traditional bagels, only steamed, and the taste and texture are not nearly as good as "serious" bagel bakers such as Chompie's and NY Bagels 'N' Bialys, which take the time to boil and bake bagels with proper density and taste.

The lox was recommended by others, but it didn't really stand out to me. There was so much cream cheese on the bagel that I couldn't finish it without feeling like I was eating a whole tub of cream cheese. The bagel was also not very soft and didn't taste too fresh, despite coming in the morning. The staff were friendly and there were plenty of tables available for working! Maybe it was an off day for the bagels.

Tried the Nosh Veggie, which was basically a bagel and cream cheese with a few veggies on it. The chicken salad looked miserable with hardly anything in the bin at 11am...aka leftovers from yesterday. The side dish of macaroni salad is so tiny, it is ridiculous. Obviously cheap owners and then the cashier guy can't wait two seconds to check his text messages after I order? Place stinks.

This was a quaint little bagel stop- nothing fancy, but they did have friendly service, hot food, all the breakfast staples, and plenty of seating both inside and outside on the patio. Slightly expensive for what you get as the bagels didn't stand out to necessarily justify the costs above an Einsteins per se, as my egg/cheese bagel ($10+) was rather dry and I likely wouldn't get that again. The cafe did stay rather busy and seemingly is a favorite amongst locals.

I haven't been here in almost a year. This was my favorite place in AZ for NY style bagels. I'm not sure what happened or if I hit them on an off day, but my bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was less than stellar. The egg reminded me of McDonald's powdered eggs, the bagel wasn't toasted, sparse bacon. Definitely not worth the $11. A cup of coffee was $5. Tasted watered down. Hopefully they do better in the future.

I think it's time for an update of The Nosh Cafe as it is under new ownership. The cosmetic facelift was needed and the snappy colors give it a more modern feel, kudos to the interior decorator. One of the owners is a former Marine and I love to give patronage to military veteran owned businesses. The orders are taken at the counter and staff pleasant. The food from the kitchen was well prepared, attractively plated and delicious. Bagels and cream cheese are of course standard fare here which I have yet to try but while eating my meal I've seen fresh trays of warm bagels delivered regularly. I'd recommend The Nosh Cafe for quick bagel order or a sit down breakfast. Will be back soon.

Very good bagels, looked like there were a lot of other traditional breakfast options as well. Always love an option for fresh orange juice too! Everyone working there was super friendly. It was a pretty good size inside and they have outdoor seating as well.

The Saturday shift is amazing. Always happy!! My bagel is always perfect!! Restaurant is always clean I would highly recommend The Nosh Cafe

Great service! Super friendly at the front. 10 out of 10 recommend this place if you're looking for some fire breakfast!

Really slow service and uncoordinated function of the kitchen. I watched my eggs get made and sit for fifteen minutes while other orders were taken out. It required the toasting of pre made bagels and putting those same eggs on them. Restaurant wasn't even busy and they kept apologizing and saying they were working on it. Working on putting two bagels through a toaster? This place used to be much better but the new ownership really fell off and focused solely on profits and excessive signage rather than food quality and good service. They were also out of many varieties of bagel with empty baskets. Go anywhere else.
