Sweet and chewy. Their Focaccia is about the only thing worth buying. On a point of order. It’s not ‘Noah’, it’s Noa. Pronounced, naaaw Noa is Manx for ‘new’. It signified the opening of a new bake house on the island and new careers for Pippa and Miles. How on earth it got from that to a biblical character on a boat full of animals is a mystery to me. When I ate it, I preferred Ross’ sourdough over Noa any day. I never tried any of their others. I heartily agree with you that their focaccia is outstanding and miles (no pun intended) better than Noa’s. Ross’ pastel de nata are also excellent but retailing at £3.75 a piece when, in their country of origin, they retail at 48cents, is taking the mick.

With no fear of those same people slagging us off behind our backs because we have just bought a new Range Rover or Tesla. I still hate the hard water though.....

(Stands back, waits for pile-on, comments about mental health, etc) 🙂 I like it toasted with scrambled eggs and spicy sausages in the Market Hall Noa. A regular treat. Just one slice is enough, though. But they aren't doing the spicy sausages any more. ETA probably says more about my mental health than yours!

I'll try an not be so obtuse next time. Noa is still awful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
