Update review after 2 years. One thing you can count is slow service. I ordered 2 bagels nothing from the kitchen. After sitting outside for about 5-10 mins I came in to check on my 2 bagels. I stared at my 2 bagels sitting on the counter at the toaster waiting to have the cream cheese spread on them. Girl one was looking at the orders that came in online and writing them down and girl two was taking an order for a customer. Girl one started toasting those bagels (my bagels still just sitting there). Finally she came back to my bagels put the cream cheese on them, put them in a basket and left them there!! Hello!! Can you just hand me the bagels! I had to ask her to hand me the bagels? I probably would've had to wait another 10 mins for them just to give me my cold bagel. I understand that even though there weren't busy with customers in store (see photo) that they may have had lots of online orders. However, you should be tending to the customers that are there currently. It should not so long to get a toasted bagel with cream cheese. The flow is still broken and they're not even friendly. read more

I wish I lived closer to this place again! I used to live down the street and would come here most Saturdays for a bagel and coffee. Its such a cute and cozy place to sit in and I love how hot and fresh the food and coffee is. It was my perfect small breakfast date with my boyfriend. All the employees are very kind and energetic too. read more

This place just isn't what it used to be. This was our usual breakfast place every weekend but we keep away now. Service is super slow, the employees have no clue on how to greet the customers and getting the orders right is their biggest challenge. They need someone to manage the front end to keep the big line moving. The line is out the door with one person taking orders and at the register. Not sure what's happened to this place and not to mention that the bagels have gotten much smaller. Asking them to toast the bagels seems like a huge task for them. It's hot and stuffy inside with one person running all the orders to the customers. We loved this place and value the fact that it's veteran owned and want to support it but if it continues this way they will lose a lot of customers. Please make it better! read more

I normally don't write a review but this was the third spot I stopped at to finally find a bagel sandwich. The staff was chill and I feel bad for them. Their ac has been broken and it's so hot in here, like unworkable conditions. I also found out if you tip them electronically the employees don't get the tips... absolutely NOT. Coming from industry that's unacceptable. I will make sure to bring cash for tips if the food is good, which I haven't even tried yet. Tipping culture is outta control! So why did I tip? I'm giving them 5 stars cause the service was good. Review edit: Now the owner replied and assumed he knew who told me about tipping and everything that was said, extremely petty. Higher wage or not customers should not be tipping unless going straight to the employees, PERIOD. I personally want my money back from the tip if it's not going to the hardworking staff. It's a shame because the food was good and the staff is top notch! Not a fan of this owner though. My social media presence isn't a lot on yelp but it sure is on other media platforms... Do NOT tip digitally here. read more

I like this place. Bagels are tasty for AZ (I'm a bagel snob from NYC) Kona coffee is great! Some of the girls at the cash register are so lovely; others don't smile and are rough around the edges. Good place to start the day. read more

Used to be alright. Last bagel I got here was huge and soft like a floppy piece of bread. It was super weird. Not really a bagel. Also, the last 3 or so visits have all taken like literally 15-20 minute for me to get one bagel with cream cheese. Their processes are trashed. Can't recommend anymore. read more

Love the concept of ordering at the kitchen and waiting for food for pick-up or to be delivered at the table. The cafe has a good amount of options and their bagels are fresh, large and made quickly! We didn't mind the wait in line as it gave us time to think about what we wanted. There was plenty of seating outside, even during prime brunching hours. Unfortunately the food itself wasn't super tasty. We tried items off the grill and cold (parfait) and both were fairly underwhelming. They weren't able to complete the substitutions I requested, and the items came out pretty greasy. The manager was young, super polite and juggling a ton of challenges at once! Sending love to her as she navigates a Sunday morning breakfast rush. We probably won't be returning here as I cannot eat any of the gluten items. Would maybe recommend for anyone looking for a tasty bagel! read more

Amazing food and service! Love the coffee and fresh bagels. Very clean atmosphere, will definitely be returning! If you're looking for a new breakfast spot, this is the place to go. read more

Great bagels, good selection. They also have good breakfast and lunch sandwiches. It's a nice place to stop at for bagel and cream cheese.

The service person today was preoccupied and could not take care of me. I ask for a simple WiFi password and she was too busy doing nothing. What about teacher discounts? read more

Grandpa's BELT! Wow, this took me right back to 1978. The fried egg with bacon, lettuce, tomato on whole wheat toast that was buttered on both sides! The sandwich an absolute Time Machine, even though the store was short staffed and we had to wait 30 minutes for this delicious sandwich, I want to say it was worth it! We will definitely be back next year. read more

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. read more

Super friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and cute decor. I sat at an outside table and was happy to see a condiment station outside as well for easy to grab items. The French toast was one of the best I have ever had! I ordered bagels and cream cheese to go for family who was visiting and they loved it!! I definitely recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Originally was stopping at a nearby location as I was really craving me a breakfast bagel sandwich. However they were closed and this location was close. Shame on me as I should've made this my first stop! Bagels were fresh and the bacon and egg ratio was perfect. I also grabbed a toasted bagel with cream cheese and it was perfection. In and out pretty quickly and my day was off to a great start. They had so many options so I will need to return especially for that French toast! read more

Amazing burrito, I also got the French toast and it was really good. I appreciated the to go packaging with the burrito so it didn't get soggy! It's huge I only had half but I'll definitely be going back. read more

Meh. They don't boil their bagels, which IMO makes them nothing more than round bread. I LOVE bagels - grew up in NYC and at many times in my life have eaten a bagel every morning. A true bagel has a specific texture - soft on the inside and chewy on the outside, and it does not need to be toasted if it's fresh from the oven. This place will toast your bagel whether you want them to or not. Looked at me like I was not only crazy but extremely bothersome when I asked if any of the bagels were hot. This is a standard question at bagel shops that make real bagels. I will say that the bacon egg and cheese was tasty, but the texture was lacking due to the non-boiled "bagel". Also took quite a while to get to me. I'm always on the lookout for places that serve eggs past 1030 am, so I might be back for that reason. But I'm still searching for a place to satisfy my bagel cravings. read more

Small, local neighborhood bagel shop with outdoor seating. Stopped by after doing a South Mountain trail. It seemed fine. Staff is mainly teenagers, so it's a bit of a mess, but it's still cute and homey inside. I got the chicken sausage omelette, and it was good, but for $12, it was such a small portion, which is truly my biggest pet peeve. The whole thing may have cost $3 to make, and it should've been sold for maybe $6-8. For $12, you can get triple the amount of food elsewhere. It comes with either fruit or toast. I got fruit, which is a super small cup of grapes and cantelope, and my friend got a bagel, which was actually the best part of the whole experience. So I'd recommend coming to grabbing bagels, but I would not recommend their omelettes because I feel that I overpaid and left still starving. read more

I've been coming to nosh for a few years now and I've never had a bad experience. Employees are nice and friendly. I love sitting outside the most but inside is nice too. I've brought my dog outside and the employees have given him water to drink which is sweet of them food is really good. I like the cinnamon bagel with honey nut cream cheese. read more

I really wanted to like this place. When placing our order, the lady had trouble inputting the prices. She seemed all over the place and said she is just ready to be closed for the day. The place closed at 2 and we got there at 130. This was not the issue though. I ordered the country omelet. The description seems enticing. It was served with hash browns, but theres also hash browns in the omelet. There was sausage inside as well as cheese. It was covered in a sausage gravy. I was looking forwarded to this gravy, but it was tasteless. Just the first bite of the omelet was just lack luster. The dish only improved once I put ketchup, and I don't usually like to use ketchup. But this seemed like a necessity. I also ordered a chicken soup. The chicken noodle soup was the best item I tried there. It was very chunky and had flavor. It wasn't the best chicken noodle soup I've had, but it was definitely better than the country omelet, in my opinion. The coffee was good too. read more

This review is all because of service. Decided to use the online order for a few simple breakfast items. App quotes 25 minutes. Go in at 20 minutes - watch two people order burritos and sandwiches get their food and leave while I am still waiting. I ask the status of the order and the lady goes to check - the cook snips at her loud enough for me to hear "I told you it would take 20 minutes" Not only should associates not be rude and loud enough for guest to hear how angry they are but why have an online order system if walkins get prioritized over people who were thoughtful enough to not crowd the store and utilize a service your provide. Very dissatisfied and and waste of people's morning to wait 30 minutes to get a bagel sandwich and a burrito and have to listen to an unhappy employee. read more

I went to this place for their bagels. Unfortunately, they recently changed their recipe and I can no longer recommend this place for bagels; they are more like Kaiser rolls now. That said, if you're looking for typical breakfast offerings, it's a very good place- service is great and prices are fair. Just really disappointed in the change in bagel quality. read more

This is one of my go to bagel shops. Delicious! I usually get the breakfast sandwich. They're quick and very consistent. They have a small area outside to enjoy the weather (when the weather is nice) and the inside is very welcoming. read more

My review would be 4 stars for food and the only only only reason I keep coming back to this place ... not one time that I have come here which is probably over 30 times that I can seriously recall a time where everything went smooth. Always something missing from the order, no one paying attention to the window, god forbid you want to add something to your order like a side of bacon you can't even get that in 5 min no that takes 15 minutes then you don't even want it anymore. I swear this place hires ppl with 0 urgency .. I have to say a prayer before coming here. I honestly I know better but if it wasn't for the pancakes I'd never come back the service makes your whole day RUINED! Be prepared to be pissed off once you leave, but the pancakes take a slight edge off. read more

Came here for the first time and it was a nice little cafe. It was fairly busy when we arrived around 11ish on a Sunday. The line was outside the door but we were already committed, haha. We ordered our food, they gave us our number and someone brought our order to our table. All employees were nice. They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. Food was descent and finished it all. The only thing I would say is that their door to their patio should get fixed. We were seating on a table right beside it and it made a high pitched awful noise anytime someone would open/close. Next time I'll have to try their coffee drinks. read more

Since I quit being in the coffee business in 2010 (owned and managed The CoffeeBuzz on Chandler Blvd. and 48th St.) I have been a regular customer here, always liking their bagels, fresh and tasty, baked on the premises. Not today! I had a lightly toasted works bagel that tasted like cardboard, even felt like chewing cardboard! Lacked salt as well. The amount of shmear was also different, much less than before and also with less salmon (lox) in it. My wife's Ranchero bagel was also tough, with a very thin and tasteless egg, no onion rings like we were used to before, rather some chopped onion. She had to dip her bagel in coffee in order to be able to eat it. Very disappointed. On a positive note, glad they kept the Kona coffee going. We'll give it one more try in the near future. read more

Excellent bagel sandwiches! Service is always slow, so plan ahead. They take phone orders, which is helpful if you don't have time to wait.

Good food. Small tables. Small sitting area. It's in a shopping center you might miss if you didn't know it was there. The prices were decent IMO. Most plates were marked at $10. You order at the counter and then sit down and they bring it to you. The food was good but the servers were not friendly. At least the ones I encountered. I would eat here again though because I did like the food, just probably with a party of four or less which is hard because we are a family of five lol. read more

After repeatedly going to a few of the same breakfast / brunch places, we figured we would try somewhere new! The Nosh Cafe came up in our Yelp search, so we went at around 11am on Saturday. There was only a short line in the front where they take orders, and I'm not sure how busy the cafe usually gets, but we were able to snag an empty table right away after ordering. I got a create your own sandwich: toasted jalapeño cheese bagel with veggie cream cheese, turkey, tomatoes, sprouts, red onions, and cucumbers. The sandwich came with either a bag of chips, potato salad, or pasta salad; I chose the potato salad. My fiancé ordered the Mediterranean Omelet which had olives, onions, tomatoes, artichokes, spinach, & feta cheese. It came with a side of hash browns. The first thing we noticed when our order was brought out to us is how large the portions were! The bagel sandwich had a ton of turkey on it along with very thinly sliced veggies. I thought it was good, however it didn't have any unique flavors that I haven't been able to get in the same type of sandwich elsewhere. I did consider when I initially ordered that their non-custom-made sandwiches would maybe be more unique, so I'd be willing to come back to try one of those. The Mediterranean omelet, similar to the sandwich, was stuffed with a ton of toppings as well. My fiancé really liked it and was happy that they didn't skimp on anything, but he did say that the hash browns were just okay. We were not certain if they offer another side with the omelet but if we returned, he would definitely ask about it. Overall, we had a good experience! Unfortunately, I can't see myself driving out of my way to come here, however it would be somewhere I would consider stopping by if I were already in the area. read more

Saturday morning 7:10a. Just dropped my car off across the street for an oil change and used Yelp to locate Nosh. Walked right in, went up to the counter to order a build your own Frittata and coffee. The gal at the counter was very nice and full of energy. The wait time for my food was acceptable. My Frittata was good/delish too. It was delivered hot, tasty and fluffy. Served with hash browns that were good but average. I would return. read more

Sunday breakfast = pancake was in my mind and pancake here is one of better one I had. Fluffy and soft yet has that chewing texture. Their pancake is huge! (See my pics I posted). Also ordered South Mountain Burro as this name was mentioned several times in reviews. While it doesn't look exceptionally huge, but loaded with protein, perfect breakfast before hiking South Mountain or any mountains. This place is very small and we got lucky to have found a table after a short wait. Friendly staff and they work hard but it seemed they are understaffed from what I saw on the day I visited. While it didn't have wow factors but I would still choose this place over chain restaurants next time when I am in the area during breakfast time. read more

The only thing consistent about this place is the HORRIBLE customer service. If you are okay with getting your order completely forgotten about or waiting 23 minutes for a subpar bagel well then you're in luck. This place is for you!! My own fault I keep giving them chance after chance to fix it, but they never do. Today myself and another customer stood in the "ready to order" line for 7 minutes while the front register person acted like we weren't even there. It was only until the man behind me in line said "do they not see us" that the kid working the front finally said "oh would you like to order". Hahaha I felt like saying no I just like standing here for no reason. Absolutely ridiculous. Highly DO NOT recommend. read more

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

Screw all the nice things I've said in the past about this place. Notice a turnover in the counter help? Yeah me too - I'd say I wonder why but I'm guessing it's the owner (or at least the lady who claims she is the owner). I was patiently waiting for my not that difficult to go order (single cinnamon sugar bagel with cream cheese and bacon) and it was crowded but OK fine no problem with the wait - I feel for the people behind the counter bc right now their AC is down and it's quite warm if you are running around. One lady who was serving tables asked my name and told me mine would be up shortly (this was after 15 or so minutes of waiting). She then tried to give me somebody else's to go order with the same name (you're welcome Carolyn Castenada bc I stopped them and did not take yours as the bag seemed way too big for a single bagel). Cue 10 more minutes of waiting but I thought ok it's kinda crowded. Then I noticed a guy who had been 4 people behind me in line get his to go order called - what the heck? I went up to the counter and asked where mine was - I figured since the employee already knew my name she would have said if something was wrong. Well this "owner" claims she had been calling out my name for a while multiple times to tell me that the cinnamon sugar bagel I wanted was still in the oven - BULLSHIT. Bullshit on at least three counts - (a) when I came in there were at least 4 cinnamon sugar bagels in the wire basket when I got rung up and its not a super-popular flavor (b) I was standing right there and should have been able to hear you *even over the rumble of the portable AC units* and finally (c) your employee who tried to give me the other Carolyn's order KNEW MY NAME. If you had actually called it out for so long and so many times how come she didn't hear it either?! Screw you, you liar and screw The Nosh - never going back and I hope you go out of business. TLDR: waited 30 minutes for a single bagel only to be told to it was still in the oven. read more

This place continues to suck. Service sucks when it's busy, service sucks when it's slow. While I was waiting over 10 minutes, another lady came up to the counter to discuss an issue with her order. keep in mind there was nobody in front of me and nobody behind me waiting for food. The younger girl that was working cashier could have cared less about customer service today. She took my money through the bagels and the toaster and then walked to the kitchen and relaxed while my bagels sat on the counter getting cold. Slurped on her drink with no cares in the world. When the other customer came up to discuss her incorrect order, she didn't even turn around to acknowledge and apologize. The older lady just defended their inaction. After waiting over 10 minutes for two basic bagels to get some schmear, I told the older lady with curly black hair I would like a refund. Never once did she ask why. She didn't need to. She knows this place sucks. I really wish this place would fix the issues, but Rob doesn't care, the staff doesn't care. I've never wished a small mom & pop business would close, until now. But glass half full, I hope this place closes so a new owner with passion and priorities will open a new shop. Called to speak to Rob, of course he's out of town. I truly hate this place and will not be back. read more
