The production area

This quaint bakery produces New ORLEANS style bagels with delicious spreads. Boasting 12 types of bagels (with daily specials to boot), there are a variety of breakfast options (pb, cream cheese spreads, eggs and sausage/bacon). The bagel with lox is done very well. Kindness at the register and swiftness at the assembly, Humble Bagel is a great place to stop in for breakfast.

Yep. It's a bag.

Great little gem in New Orleans. You need to get there early as they sell out each day. Prices are reasonable for singles and there are multiple topping options. The garlic pesto cream cheese was fantastic and it tasted like garlic and pesto. Who woulda thunk? So often the flavors are muted but this was strong and tasty. The scallion cream cheese was delicious with nice, sizable chunks of scallion. Delicious. The cold brew was decidedly mid. Just stick with hot coffee.

Egg, Ham, and Swiss on a plain Bagel.  Delicious!

Humble Bagel comes highly recommended by my daughter. She has sung their praises for years. I finally got to try it Thursday May 30th. I liked it so much that I came back the very next morning! Thursday, my wife and I shared a plain bagel with veggie cream cheese, and a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese. Friday, we split an Egg, Ham, and Swiss on a plain bagel and cinnamon-raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. Everything was delicious! Service is great and prices are reasonable.

For my first time here, I chose egg whites with grilled tomatoes and onion, scallion cream cheese and a honey wheat Everything bagel. The line was long but service was quick and I found a table outside to enjoy my bagel breakfast. I thought it was going to be toasted which brings out the flavor of the bagel topping and also adds some crunch. When I unwrapped the bagel it was mushy, messy, and unspectacular. Everyone else looked really pleased with their bagels so I think I'll leave off the tomatoes next time and go for a different bagel. It's really busy and loud inside and there is limited seating but if I were with friends, I wouldn't mind. We're loud anyway.

Egg ham and cheese
Jon B.

Had a chance to get a couple of bagels at this place. Bagels were very soft and the ladies working there were super nice. My only feedback would be to put a little more meat on the sandwiches. I got an egg, ham and cheese and would have loved a few more slices. Other than that , solid place. I also had a traditional bagel with cream cheese which was pretty good.

It's a Sunday bagel morning

Great stop for a New York bagel in New Orleans. What a great value for delicious bagels. $20 for a dozen or $3.50 for a toasted bagel with cream cheese. The everything bagels are so good. Add cream cheese for a perfect Sunday breakfast. Love the veggie cream cheese, but they have an assortment of daily and seasonal flavors. May try their honey whole wheat everything bagel next visit. Sit inside or outside. Nice for a walk on Freret on a sunny Sunday morning.

lox bagel
Amelia A.

this place is so cute and has very nice staff. they make their bagels fresh everyday, so i would recommend going earlier in the day so they don't run out of whatever u want. i got the lox bagel, and it tasted so fresh and i honestly thought it was perfect. i will definitely be back

First of all, there are no better bagels than New York style bagels purchased and eaten in NEW YORK! I'm in the Big Apple pretty often and my family and I will go straight to a crazy delicious bagel shop in Long Island after Sunday church service. So much has changed in my city since Katrina that I decided to Google something I'd never searched for in NOLA...a NY style bagel shop. Well...I found Humble Bagel not too far from home so of course I had to check it out. I pictured a line outside the door similar to my favorite Long Island bagel shop but much to my surprise, the line was short. There were quite a few people waiting for their orders but they were in and out in no time. Food: Legit! Totally NY style and my everything bagel was EVERYTHING!!!! I ate half for breakfast and the other half for lunch. I wish my bagel was still nice and hot/toasty when I received it but it wasn't. However, it was still delicious! Service: Professional, friendly, and great smiles!!! Atmosphere: NEW YORK style bagels served with NOLA love. It doesn't get any better than that! I'll be back for my must have cinnamon raisin toasted with plain cream cheese

Garlic bagel with...bacon

The bagels are good. I will give them that. Got the garlic bagel and it is very delicious When you order make sure they hear you very clearly. Ordered an egg, cheese and BACON bagel on garlic cause they were out of plain bagel. Got two bagels and a coffee and orange juice it was $25 a little pricey in my opinion when I just go bacon on the bagel. I will say the garlic bagel was very good. The everything bagel was amazing according to my teenager.

egg and cheese on an everything bagel

Humble Bagel is love at first bite. I have tried many bagel shops, but I can confidently say that a humble bagel is the best bagel I've ever had. I go out of my way to come here once a week for a breakfast sandwich and to stock up on bagels for the week (pro tip: the day you buy them, slice them in half, put them in a zip lock bag in the freezer, and pull it out when you want it and toast as normal for it to taste fresh even days later!) I've tried pretty much every type of bagel they offer and my personal favorite is their sourdough bagels which sadly are only available one day of the week as a special. However, their everything bagels are pretty spectacular too. Humble bagel is a very popular spot and it gets pretty crowded on weekends. The line is often out the door especially when the weather is nice. I wish they made bagels later in the day too because they close once they sell out, and sometimes they sell out earlier than you would expect!

Bagel sandwich minus the lox.

The bagel sandwich was delicious. Service was friendly and fast. Coffee was a dollar off since I got it before 8 am. Lots of families meeting up for a bite before school. The space was inviting and sunny. I would return again.

Good social distancing markers

Pandemic update: HB is open from 7-12 (or until they run out) Thursday- Sunday. Last night I was really really craving a bagel with cream cheese so went over to HB's social media and discovered that they are open with social distancing. So I walked over this morning. They've used their small tables as a barrier for their employees to keep them safe and distant. Everyone was wearing masks and they had markers on the floor to keep everyone apart. I was tempted to get a sandwich... that veggie mix which looks delish (and is vegan) or the egg and spinach or ... or ... but I got my standard poppyseed bagel with strawberry cream cheese! Easypeasy

Basically the lox bagel with out the lox. So good.

If you're looking for the best bagels in New Orleans, Flour Moon Bagels is the absolute go-to spot…read more The fact that they bake their bagels fresh daily is a huge plus, and you can definitely taste the difference. The Food: The menu is fantastic, featuring a great variety of cream cheeses, made-to-order tartines, and breakfast sandwiches. On my recent visit, we tried the breakfast sandwich and the Fortuna tartine--you honestly can't go wrong with either one. While all of their bagels are top-notch, my personal favorite is the Cheddar Everything Bagel. It pairs perfectly with anything you order. Secret Menu Alert: You'll find the Cheddar Everything on the online menu but not the paper menus in-store, making it a fun hidden gem! The Service: Because the food is so good, expect a long line if you go on a weekend. Don't let that deter you, though; the staff is incredibly efficient at keeping the line moving and getting the food out fast. They do offer online ordering, but keep in mind they seem to turn it off during peak rushes. The Vibe: Overall, this is a perfect spot for brunch with friends or family. There's plenty of outside seating, and with a brewery right next door, you even have the option to pair your fresh bagel with a great local beer. Highly recommend!

The kind of thing you think about after you leave, which is exactly why we found ourselves back there four days later. The bagels themselves are perfectly chewy, beautifully blistered, and clearly made by people who take this very seriously. For a New Yorker to admit that a bagel outside of NYC is this good is not something we say lightly. If you're in New Orleans and you don't go here, you're doing it wrong. We went twice in five days and would have gone a third time if we'd had more time. Absolute must.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.
