    Chicken cutlet sandwich
    LaVonna V.

    Great customer service. Beautiful space. Fresh made. Quality bread. Bagels croissant all good. Tried the new chicken cutlet it wasn't seasoned well so I wouldn't try it again but those chicken salad and turkey sandwiches are consistently yummy. Highly recommended

    Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Bread
    Liz W.

    Saw that they had a special Ricotta, Chocolate, Orange King Cake. Had to try it so we came in for a slice. It's a small bakery so we were lucky to get the last open table. We got the king cake slice and a slice of the vegan lemon poppy seed bread. The king cake was good, a little dry for my liking and the chocolate overpowered so I didn't taste much of the ricotta. The lemon poppy seed bread, however, 10 out of 10 and would totally come back just for that. Their other pastries and sandwiches looked good so will be back. Also, I was able to see in the baking area from my seat and the gentleman back there keeps a clean area, was wiping everything down and sweeping and just keeps it looking nice. Nice little spot.

    Breakfast sandwich on an Everything bagel

    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!!!

    Chocolate

    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.

    Best bagels in New Orleans. I dream about the croissants also. Pecan croissant is very special.

    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 attitude of the staff has COMPLETELY IMPROVED!! It's like they realized that they are in the South and are expected to be nice unlike the New York attitude I have previously experienced. I never questioned the quality of the bagels or the cream cheese. I definitely recommend going early to ensure they still have product. This has become my weekly treat.

You line up, order at the front, and they call out your name when it's ready. I had a sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel which I found very comparable (if not, better?) to the bagels I've had in New York/Jersey. They gave me the option of the type of cheese!! I've never been offered this option. I selected pepperjack, and thought it was great. The bagel sandwiches are huge. It's not a huge menu, only ~5 cream cheese options, but basically anything you could want. They had coffee, water, juices, gatorade. Lots of families and Tulane students in pajamas. They even had some green, gold, and purple swirl bagels. Awesome!

The store has a cozy vibe, and it wasn't crowded when I walked in during lunchtime on a workday. So, it was easy to grab a table inside. The staff at the counter was super friendly. She gave me some recommendations when I asked as a first-timer (and don't know much about bagels, haha). I ordered the Prytania and Vietnamese iced coffee and enjoyed them both. The bagel sandwich was freshly made and filling. I would definitely come back and explore other options on their menu.

I guess I'm going through a New Orleans bagel touring phase, testing all things bagels here, trying to find ones similar to New York style bagels. The quality of their bagels were pretty decent and the service was fantastic but I really liked the variety of homemade cream cheeses. Never seen so many before. They also deliver their freshly made bagels to local grocers like Rouses, so if you can't make it in the store, visit your nearest supermarket. The space can be a little cramped but there wasn't a ton of folks in there so that made for a great visit. Otherwise, I would certainly recommend going there for a taste of varied bagels and cream cheese.
