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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Flour Moon -- 5 (and I don't say that lightly)…read more Let me start with this... I didn't even come here to work. But babyyy, the vibe pulled me in and sat me down real quick. The atmosphere? 10/10. It's one of those places that just feels good. Calm, airy, aesthetically pleasing without trying too hard. Perfect for getting work done, studying, catching up with your friend, or a cute little meet-up with your boo. And it's family-friendly, which I love. Inside + outside seating, so you can really choose your mood for the day. Now let's talk about what really matters... the BAGEL. Listen... it has been YEARS since I've had a goooood bagel sandwich. Like the kind you think about later. The kind that makes you pause mid-bite. This is THAT spot. The menu isn't overwhelming, but the options?? Whew. So many bagel choices, cream cheeses, jams--because let's be real... what is a bagel without cream cheese?? I went in fully planning to get two sandwiches just to try more (greedy, I know ), but this one humbled me real quick. I got the BlueBird... and I've been eyeing it for a minute, so I already knew I had to. Turkey, jalapeño cream cheese, banana peppers, blueberry jam... Yeah. Let that sit. Sweet, savory, creamy, a little kick... it just works. I was SOLD. While I was sitting there working, I asked a couple next to me if they were regulars (because their food looked too good not to ask ). They told me they come all the time and basically get everything. That told me everything I needed to know. And honestly? I believe them. You will NOT be disappointed here. And the drink?? Oh it had a little punch to it--in the best way. Not watered down, not playing with you. One of those "okayyyy I taste it" moments. IYKYK. Overall, this was such a great experience. The food, the vibe, the energy... everything aligned. I will absolutely be back--especially when I'm on that side of the river again. Flour Moon, you did your thing.

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!

Also got a chocolate croissant which was crispy and delicious. There's a few tables inside and outside. I forget that people smoke a lot in this area so sitting outside was unpleasant. The staff member at the register was pretty much rolling his eyes at any questions and did not appear happy to be there.. he was unhelpful and had similar demeanor when I returned with my friends. This was unexpected to encounter.

Rude service from start to finish. We added ourselves to the waitlist because they had a…read morereservation available, yet watched several families get seated ahead of us while we continued waiting. 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.

We went all in: shrimp and grits that were downright phenomenal (I'm still thinking about them), a goat cheese omelette that was so good it made me question all my past breakfast decisions, and pancakes with berries that tasted like they were made by someone who genuinely cares about your happiness. The coffee? Strong enough to fix your life. The service? Warm, attentive, and somehow psychic--they just knew when we needed refills or another mimosa (which, for the record, felt less like a drink and more like a lifestyle choice). Honestly, this place doesn't just serve breakfast--it gives you a reason to get out of bed. 10/10 would wake up early again... and I do not say that lightly.

It has to be one of my favorite breakfast items I've had this week in Nola. One more note-they have many vegetarian and vegan options! Typically I am neither, but I think vegetarians and vegans would find a dish to love here. This shop is small, but there is lots of seating indoors and outside. You order food at one bar, and the coffee at the other. Everyone here is so personable and was so kind to chat with me about the menu when I was torn between many options. They have a bathroom that was very clean. I can tell the food and drinks here are made with love. It is a little walk from the French Quarter, but it is a walk well worth it.
