    Breakfast sandwich on an Everything bagel
    Jolene G.

    I visited Leo's for a slice of their orange, chocolate, ricotta king cake and got some breakfast to go. The breakfast sandwich (egg and cheese on an everything bagel) was popping hot and fresh. It did what I needed it to do.

    What an absolutely lovely small bakery I found! I would highly recommend you try a few items. You can taste the quality. And when you walk in, the smell of yumminess will KNOCK UOU OVER! Great spot!

    Roasted pumpkin, goat cheese and honey
    Gabriel N.

    Charming bakery tucked near the intersection of esplanade and broad. The breads are full of flavor and carry all the signs of high-quality, small batch loaves - pleasant air pockets, perfect spring. The croissants are flaky and properly buttery-moist, and exhibit fine artisanal work in the layers; there are also a variety of croissant types - from plain, to chocolate, pecan, apple, and other seasonal delights (like pumpkin, goat cheese and honey this morning). There are also several other pastries that I look forward to trying soon! It's the kind of bakery that you may go in for just a croissant, and you leave very satisfied and carrying a couple loaves to slice and enjoy at home.

    This little place was fantastic. Bagels, pastries, everything was just on point. We had a couple of bagel sandwiches which were excellent. The bagels were crispy toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. The crunch in the outside made the difference in my opinion compared to your traditional bagel sandwich. We have a cookie and a cinnamon sugar type of pastry that was delicious as well. The place has a hipster vibe with a few tables inside. Cool spot which we will be visiting again.

    This place had such delicious baked goods and it was located in such a cute neighborhood and part of town I've never been to! Almost everything inside the bakery looked so delicious and it was so hard to choose something to eat because everything looked so good, but that mean's I've got to come back again in the future. They had really cool speciality croissants and I went with the blueberry jam with candied orange and mint and it was great and so much flavor. I also grabbed one of their seasonal speciality sandwiches for lunch (mine had eggplant, spicy mayo sauce, and leafy greens all on sour dough) and it so fulfilling and delicious. Can't wait to stop by again to try other things one day soon!

    Bagel and lox
    Shari B.

    I'm a sucker for bakeries, especially if they make their own bagels. I tried the loaded sesame bagel & lox, bagel breakfast sandwich and a croissant. The bagel and lox was nicely prepared and fresh, but a little skimpy on the actual lox. Bagel sandwich was decent, but didn't love the texture of the egg. The croissant was nice and flaky. I would definitely recommend this place to those who enjoy fresh baked breads.

    Sesame bagel and cream cheese
    Alex K.

    Food was AMAZING. Bagel had PLENTY of cream cheese and was slightly burnt (in a good way) and very crispy but still soft. Everyone working here was super sweet and helpful. The focaccia is a lil more firm than most I've had, so if you're looking for a super soft one be warned this isn't it. It is still amazing and tasty, so don't hesitate. The croissant breakfast sandwich (custom made) was fantastic as well. My Ollady had the ham n cheese croissant and she said it was amazing. It's a very simple setup inside but it's not too loud and it's overall pretty chill. This was one of my absolute favorite places while visiting, so don't miss it!!!

    Adorable little spot we love to walk too! Amazing croissants and drinks! I had the ham and cheese and my wife had chocolate. They're flaky, packed full of filling and SO BUTTERY! Highly recommend! You can also find them at the Crescent City Farmers Markets.

    I always love a good bagel and Leo's Bread delivers. I stopped in here for a quick lunch- bagel and lox. The sandwich is outstanding and I got mine loaded up with all of the goodies like onions and capers. The place is small, but there's outdoor seating and wifi if you want to do some work.

    Get the veggie bagel with the chili crunch oil...your life will be changed. The service was amazing. The bagels delish. The coffee strong and smooth. The perfect way to start our day in the 'Big Easy'.

    The bagels are like chewing on leather, tasteless, and over cooked. At $2.00 per bagel, this bakery should look for a better recipe.

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.
