Winter Break is around the corner, and for anyone who wants to eat somewhere better than fast food, Noah’s Bagels is a great place option. Their Brunch Box is especially great for a small group of people to share and enjoy. For $38, it features three hash browns, three breakfast sandwiches, four muffins, one spread, and six bagels. Overall, the amount of food and its quality make it a good deal. The six bagels are the centerpiece of the pack.
The bagels range from seed bagels to chocolate bagels and fruit bagels. Unfortunately, the six bagels were already picked, so sadly I could not get six sesame bagels. The bagels represent a range of
flavors. The chocolate bagel actually tasted chocolatey, and I was worried it would be choco-
late chips in a bagel or some other weird taste.
However, what really brings out the flavor is the cream cheese spread; the onion-and-chive spread goes very well with the sesame bagel. For me, this was the first time I ate flavored cream cheese, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted.
Nonetheless, the Brunch Box is not without its flaws. The three sandwiches and hash browns
were the weaker side of the pack. The hashbrowns didn’t seem to be toasted all the way. While the
sandwiches were alright, they pale in comparison to some of the other sandwiches Noah’s Bagels
sells separately. The sandwiches, hash browns, and muffins in the pack were dull and basic. For the sandwiches, it was a typical egg, bacon, and cheese combination.
They taste like every other breakfast sandwich I’ve eaten. The same goes for the hash browns and muffins. Furthermore, I would appreciate it if the pack came with drinks, but it is understandable that it doesn’t because there is already a lot of food included. Overall, these items in the pack felt like filler food rather than a selection of high-quality items.
Ultimately, Noah’s Bagels serves high-quality, delicious bagels, sandwiches, and other baked goods, but it is expensive. In terms of standing, it’s nice in between a fast food place and a restaurant.
The Brunch Box is good for filling the stomach, but not the best of what Noah’s Bagels offers. I would either buy one of their better sandwiches or your favorite bagel with a spread. For anyone wishing
to try Noah’s Bagels, it opens at six in the morning and closes at three in the afternoon, and some bagel
flavors sell out quickly.
