"For a quick breakfast spot in Noe Valley, head to Noe Bagel. The old-school spot makes a delicious BEC that’s packed with generous amounts of bacon, and is an ideal way to power up before a day full of meetings that could have been emails. You can also stand in front of the glass case and point at whatever looks good—if you want to stock your freezer with something other than half-opened bags of frozen fruit." - julia chen 1
