I have to go with the middle of the road on CB&C. On the plus side, the bagels are Fabulous! This is the only place in Slidell to get anything approximating an NYC bagel. I buy extra when I can because of the minus side... It is almost impossible to get in here! I don't mind queuing up to wait at a restaurant, but every time I try to go they are lined up out the door. I have tried to go at off-times and it's still busy. Being so busy, the experience at the counter always feels rushed and there is nowhere to sit, so I never stick around once I have my bagels. I realize it's a good problem for a restaurant to have, but it still makes me want to go elsewhere. Most times I do. The bagels are a definite 5+ stars. The overall experience is 2 stars at best. Splitting the difference and giving them 3. I keep going back (well, trying to, at least) because the bagels are that good. Your results may vary. If you figure out a decent time to go in, give me a holler and let me know. I'll buy you a bagel! read more

Great spot for breakfast. Don't be discouraged by the line when you walk in it moves very quickly. The staff are warm, welcoming and helpful for those of us who are overwhelmed by too many good choices. The fresh bagels are delicious as are the house made cream cheeses. I got a half dozen to take home with everything and oat being faves but the cherry almond and pumpernickel didn't disappoint either. They have a nice serve yourself coffee bar offering all Abita Roasting coffee in all varieties. Creole Bagelry and Cafe also offers a huge selection of bennys, omelettes, Belgian Waffles and breakfast sandwiches , lunch sandwiches, salads and lunch platters. Don't skip the frozen coffees and teas ! read more

Delicious and soft bagels, fresh-made cream cheese and quick counter-service, Creole Bagelry exceeded our expectations for both a brunch and bagel spot. We ordered everything from the Asiago bagels to the breakfast bowl to the DIY omelette and it was all delicious. My favorite bites were the smoked gouda grits and the crispy everything bagel, complemented by the spinach and artichoke cream cheese. 9/10 I think my husband and I have found our new bagel spot! read more

Walk in and order at the counter. The line moves pretty fast so don't be worried. There are a lot of bagel options as well as a whole list of different cream cheese flavors! We ordered breakfast this time, but next time I'll be sure to order some bagels to go. I ordered the smoked salmon Benedict with side potatoes. My husband ordered the Big E omelette with side grits and an everything bagel. The food was excellent and came out pretty fast. Casual atmosphere, nice service, you walk up to another counter to pickup your food (they'll call your name). Remember to bus your own table after you are finished. read more

The food here is very good. The servers are all friendly and helpful. We are from California and came to Slidell during Mardi Gras season. We were pleasantly surprised to find this little restaurant close by. We especially enjoyed the thin catfish and grits special plate, and the waffles were equally amazing. The only thing that we didn't like was the fact that we had to bus our own tables. This was kind of disappointing when we left a hefty tip with the cashier. read more

The girls here are so nice I love the South. I didn't know what to expect but the food is so freaking good.

The service was amazing everybody in there was so kind and so full of energy and smiles.

While my husband's order was correct, mine was a complete mess. I ordered shrimp and grits, which should've been easy at a place that claims to serve "all-day" breakfast. I didn't even mind the $2.00 up-charge to sub potatoes for eggs. It was only after I paid, and we sat down, that I was told they were actually out of grits. So I agreed to sub more potatoes for the grits, with the shrimp and sauce on the side. Instead, the plate arrived with the sauce at the bottom of the potatoes. The shrimp were dry, and looked pitiful. Again, a mess! And a not so affordable one! read more

Never ever been disappointed with this establishment. Food and service has been amazing. It is really busy so expect a reasonable wait but nothing crazy. They keep the dining area picked up and it's packed with families. Very family friendly with a good variety of kid dishes. Follow them on Facebook to see their limited time bagel releases because some of them are amazing. They have a good assortment of spreads too. They're not just bagels, they breakfast and lunch plates, with quite the variety I'm struggling to try them all because one would be so delicious I get it again. Join the read more

I went to Creole Bagelry in Slidell for the first time today. I got the Blue Bayou salad. It was a generous size and tasted delicious. I thought the salad dressing was a little too sweet, so I didn't use much of it. A little went a long way. The bagel chips were delicious and I got two bagels to go. They all looked so good it was hard to make a choice. I will be going back again. Nice place. read more

Lovely cafe for breakfast and lunch tucked in shopping center next to Copelands. Fresh NY style bagels, about 15 daily flavors with at least a dozen cream flavors to choose from. Multiple options from bagels to Benedict's, omelets, Belgian waffles, salads, sandwiches and more. Gourmet coffees with cookies and muffins round out the menu. Excellent food, very clean environment and friendly service. read more

We always come here a few times when we visit friends in Slidell. It is just too good! The bagels are fabulous! The cream cheeses are out of this world and all of the other menu items are great! We have ordered items to go and we have sat inside. Super cool local feel inside. Never disappoints! read more

Absolutely love this place the staff are always super friendly and helpful. I ordered the breakfast egg rolls and my eating buddies ordered a praline waffle, bagels with various cream cheeses and a plain Belgium waffle. The breakfast egg rolls were a favorite for all of us. I ordered the Asian sauce on the side which was a great idea. They were the fan favorites at the table. The combination of eggs, bacon and cheese wrapped and fried were just phenomenal. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well and came out fresh and hot like the egg rolls. Simple but delicious. The waffles were fluffy and the praline sauce was perfect not to sweet but just right with a nice amount of pecans on top. read more

It's early. The smell of freshly brewed coffee perks my senses. The crunch of perfectly toasted bagels that were baked right there that morning is simply irresistible. My family decided to try a blueberry, a jalapeño and an everything bagel, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The bagels were chewy on the inside with a delightful golden-brown crust on the outside, bursting with flavors. Topped with a generous spread of their homemade cream cheese (lots of flavors to choose from) it was a match made in breakfast heaven. read more

It was great having an Elite Experience close to home. Today I took advantage of the Experience and ordered the shrimp florentine quiche and the frozen green tea with almond milk. Surprisingly, the green tea was good. If anyone knkws me knows I'm a green tea fanatic so the taste is very important for me. There was a short wait because something was going on with the register, but other than that the servers were very friendly and all smiles. They gave an extra smile and a little excitement when I said I was there as a Yelp Elite. The restaurant was clean. I was able to sit and observe while my food was being prepared. As mentioned in the email, no one wore mask. The quiche was tasty and had 3 nice size shrimp in it. Plenty of egg for sure. I had the bagel chipz as a side and they had a savory taste. Really good. Thanks for the Experience #yelpnola #yelpeliteezxperience read more

let me begin by saying I took my elderly mom and dad here for Father's Day breakfast. For the 3 of us the bill came out to $75. Neither of my parents can stand in line for long so I ushered them to their seats. I then proceed to go to the counter order the food then I pour the drinks and I set the table. When the lady at the pick up window called my name I had to go pick up the food and bring it to the table. When we were finished I had to bus the table. The whole place runs like an inefficient McDonalds restaurant except at McD's breakfast isn't $75 bucks. The food is mostly prepackaged and warmed up. I had chicken and waffles with like some kind of Chinese sweet and sour sauce on it. Terrible. We should have just gone to McDonalds. Also, access for mobility impaired people is minimal at best. My family and I won't be going back. Overpriced nonsense. read more

There was a line at the restaurant when I got there around lunch time Saturday, which I assume is just a sign that they have very good bagels. There weren't a whole lot of tables - possibly due to continuing COVID restrictions - but the wait wasn't bad and I wasn't dining in anyway. I placed a catering order online in advance, which I might not have needed to stand in the line to pick up if I hadn't been getting lunch too. I got the Cuban Bagel Sandwich for lunch, a cinnamon apple scone for dessert, and a box of special jalapeno everything bagels with jalapeno popper cream cheese for later snacking. The sandwich was good, and the coleslaw side was actually very impressive: peppery, with a vinaigrette-like dressing instead of smothered in mayo. The scone tasted very good, though the texture was a bit cake-like. As for the straight-up bagels, they were a revelation. I've never actually bought a bagel - just got them as freebies at work, hotels, etc - and always viewed them as the misbegotten cousins of donuts: right shape, but tasting like dense, chewy sadness. There was nothing sad about those Jalapeno Everything bagels. When combined with the jalapeno popper cream cheese, my only regret was that I could only manage to eat 1-2 bagels in a sitting. I have to admit that, were it not for this Yelp Elite perk, I may have gone my whole life without ever spending money on a bagel. I'm not sure that I'll start eating bagels with any regularlity, but I'll definitely be keeping The Creole Bagelry in mind for north shore events from now on. Pro tip: Do not refrigerate your bagels. Trying to cut open a bagel that has been refrigerated and reheated is a game that you don't want to play. The knife nick on my palm is proof that such bagels are feisty opponents. read more

Definitely a spot for the bagel lovers. A wide variety of bagels and different flavors of cream cheese. The menu also has omelet selections paired with grits, potatoes or a bagel of your choice for the sides. Don't feel bad subbing for other options they highly recommend if so. Prices are really fair and the Irish coffee is spot on, mimosas are really small so do yourself a favor and order two. Ample parking in the front and clean business even though it's order when walk in and seat yourself. read more

Ok so I've been living in Slidell for about 5 years & tried this place out this week & I'm upset no one told me sooner to come here! I tried it out on Tuesday & have been 3 times this week! The food is so good!! There are so many bagel & cream cheese options!! I tried the spinach & artichoke cream cheese & I'm obsessed! The Pontchartrain omelette was good! The Crawfish Monica omelette was ok. Love their breakfast potatoes. The coffee is pretty good too! Give them a try if you haven't!! read more

As good as everyone says! We got lucky and arrived just before the rush. Everything was hot and tasty. I had the Monique omelette and potatoes. I loved it and ate every bite of the omelette. The potatoes are seasoned and crispy. I didn't eat them all as I needed room for the bagel. The bagels are fantastic and you can order them with a corresponding cream cheese. I don't usually eat all my bagel and toss half but I couldn't do that in good conscience as it would be travesty! A very good variety of drinks so you don't need to be pigeonholed into ordering plain coffee. The place is a bit small for the crowds but seems to be enough seating for everyone. Definitely would want to go back. Wish they had one in Clear Lake in Houston! (Hint, hint) read more

Who doesn't love bagels?! The bagels at Creole Bagelry are freshly baked daily and there are SO many flavors and SO many different flavors of cream cheese. I do have difficulty deciding but tend to favor the savory onion bagels with plain cream cheese. Yum. I feel like I'm back in NYC! read more

I mistakenly ordered my breakfast from this gem & realized much too late that I couldn't eat immediately because I had a call to jump on (yep, camera n mic)...so unfortunately I had to wait forever to try it. It was made to order & was super fresh when I got it...was able to steal a potato while it was fresh & it was so de-lish, seasoned to perfection!! The bagel, even as a reheat, was very good & the cream cheese was the best. The cream cheeses looked like tubs of ice cream...yeah, they got it like that!!

Good bagels for the road. Lots of flavors of bagels and cream cheeses to match. Staff was friendly as well.

People are super nice and service was great... but... the food was terrible! I got the shrimp and grits and could t finish it. The sauce was nothing but vinegar and just terrible! The quality of food is just subpar.. they got three stars because the bagels are really good and love the cream cheese bar, but the breakfast menu needs taken out to the shes and hit with a paddle! I just can't understand why we can't get freshly made high end breakfast.. so if you want bagels and coffee this is the place.. read more

Oh man. It's so hard to finish a breakfast here, and yet so hard not to. The portions are huge AND the quality is superb, so what's a girl to do? Well, I guess the answer is a to-go box. My favorite breakfast item so far is the chimichanga, but I've also had the avocado toast and traditional breakfast. The salads are really good too if you need a lunch to go. The service is always great too. Everyone is friendly and upbeat, and the dining area is always very clean. The decor is very homey and inviting as well, and I often see families and friend meeting here in the morning for breakfast and coffee. read more

After seeing Yelp New Orleans promoting this place, we decided to drive out and give it a try. Overall, this place is a really promising option for bagels. We both got sausage egg and cheeses, with hers on an everything and mine on garlic with scallion cream cheese. The bagels are smaller and lighter in color than your average NY bagel. They are pretty good though! Easy to eat, not too tough or overly salty. They make for a great sandwich. The iced coffee didn't have enough ice in it, but tastes like your run of the mill iced coffee. However I did overhear someone talking about their blended coffees being delicious. Will have to try that next time! My fiancée is from New Jersey and has a high standard for bagels. She was pleasantly impressed, and of course, as the true New Jersey native she is, still noted that New York/Jersey bagels are better at the end of our meals. Honestly, it gets four stars just based on her average reaction- that's hard to do when it comes to bagels in Louisiana! We'll be back! read more

Reasonable prices for delicious baked goods. What more can you ask for? I had a garlic bagel with cream cheese and got a white chocolate scone for later. Both were incredible and if I ever venture that way again I'll probably pick up a dozen bagels to throw in my freezer to give myself better bagel options than Panera. read more

My choice stop for breakfast in Slidell turns out to be this centrally located bagel place. It is actually a fairly large restaurant, nice inside, but it's quick for takeout too, and opens early enough to be practical. Their wall of bagels looked impressive, and the sundried tomato bagel was especially so, delivering ample flavor with every bite. Their jalapeno wasn't quite as delicious, but I appreciated the spice. They aren't quite as sour and chewy as my faves, but they're good. I got both with butter, which was ample. Their menu includes a variety of other breakfast dishes. There are only a few things that would fit my diet, but I wouldn't mind coming back for a bag of bagels to go if I were in Slidell again. read more
