Laurel Street Bakery

This place really is a gem. From their iced coffee and bagels to their challah. I enjoyed it every time I visit. The service is always just as great. I'm sure they have something for everybody.

Visited here from our Air B N B down the street. Charming place. I ordered the lox bagel and it was delicious and a good price. I've never had king cake before but I tried a piece there and it was delicious too. I've tried others since and still prefer this one. I plan to have shipped to me in S Florida.

Kinda came across this place when looking for a breakfast place with my daughter. Very cozy, great service and counter person had such a great attitude. There is a lot more sitting along the inside of the cafe. I had the All American breakfast sandwich on a garlic bagel. My daughter had the last piece of quiche, which she said was good. We also shared a piece of lemon blueberry loaf.

So I've tried several coffee shops in Nola and this was my first time here. Great location but the parking situation is horrible. The coffee and morning snacks are good - nice variety, good place for meetings or to work remotely and vibe was good. Service was a little slow but it was a busy morning. I'll have to go back again to try them out one more time before I move on to the next coffee shop -the location on Broad Street is very busy.

Bought their Nutella King Cake this past weekend! It was so good. Placing an order online for it was super easy. I want to go back to try their savory items.

Great service. Comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Decent bagels. Solid cup of coffee. Mediocre food. Fair prices. The brioche French toast was pretty good, topped with plenty of very average bacon. The fruit cup was a pleasant surprise, but overall, not a breakfast to remember.

Delicious bakery goods fro bagels to croissants. Had the Everything bagel breakfast sandwich with sun dried tomato spread and avocado- delish! Croissant breakfast sandwich with egg/cheese- delicious! Their bagels are awesome, toasty crispy and chewy - the best! Coffee teas and other hot and cold beverages, lunch menu includes many salads and sandwiches. Service was awesome, friendly and the best!

So, my first review back after a long hiatus and it is not a good one.Laurel Street Bakery, near my work, parking adjacent, should be a lovely friendship, but nay, nay, this was not meant to be.I was in a hurry, and stopped in for a quick breakfast sandwich to take away my hunger pangs.The line was small enough, and it did not appear busy, and after some wrangling the cashier informed me it should be about 5-10 minutes for a breakfast sandwich.Now mind you the place was not busy, but whatever, I figured this was a canned response to every time inquiry, like a pizza is always 45 minutes, although it may be 15 minutes.I ordered an "All American" which consists of :One egg scrambled with cheese, bacon, sliced tomato, and melted American cheese.I ordered this, and waited, and waited, and waited.My sandwich arrived, and did not feel particularly hot, as it should have been as it was made to order.My Bagel was hard, not over toasted, but hard as though it had been the day's before bagel.The bacon was cold, and the egg was warm. The tomato, was just there like as was the cold American cheese.Now, I am a fan of American Cheese in a Bagel Sandwich, unless it is cold American Cheese, and then it has the worse texture.these facts I found out when I arrived at my office a few blocks away.My sandwich had obviously waited to be given to me, and waited, and waited, and waited.This is what they do for their bread and butter, literally!!Sandwiches!!And mine, was not worth the money I paid for it.$7.50 plus tax.It was about as good as a fast food bagel sandwich, with the price of an uptown sandwich.No Bueno!!The food was nowhere near on par with a bakery produced item, especially my bagel.I cannot see going back, as if the bagel is not good, from a Bakery, then nothing else can be discussed.The bagel at LEAST should have wowed me.This one, left me hard and cold..Oh wait, that WAS the bagel.I cannot recommend Laurel Street.I will not sugar coat this review.This is no place to go to for a satisfying breakfast sandwich, or a beautiful bagel.Nope, my review of a glorious bagel stop will be forthcoming, just not here, at Laurel Street Bakery.On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, and 1 being the worse, this place ranks a "NOPE"!!

This place is disgusting!I stopped in to get a blueberry muffin. It was mid morning and there were two blueberry muffins left on a platter that probably held a dozen when full. Got to the car to find it was cold. Not cool or no longer warm, but out of a refrigerator after probably having been frozen cold. I walked back in and pointed out it was cold. The clerk acted as if I should have known that and then took it and gleefully told me she'd heat it up in the microwave as if this is a normal behavior. She then handed it back microwaved. I asked her when the muffins were made at this...ya know...bakery. She told me (again as if there were nothing wrong with her statement) that they are made the day before...not that THOSE WERE made the day before but that THEY ARE (as in all their muffins always) made the day before!!!Back in the car I took one bite of my nukes days old leftover muffin. It was disgusting. Tasted like chemicals. Had a texture that made you wish for even gas station muffins, and was wholly inedible.It went into the trash which is where this sad joke of a bakery belongs. Save your time and money and just buy frozen factory made faux fresh bakery items from Walmart or Rouse's. They're sadly better and fresher. To the business owner: do the right thing! Laziness is a hell of a bad business model despite how common it is around New Orleans these days!You know better. Your customers deserve better. And, you should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves.

I've been to this neighborhood bakery three times, and while my past visits were wonderful, today was a letdown. Usually, the young lady working there is super sweet--she knows most customers by name and has helped me pick out amazing pastries for my team before, spending over $50.00 on pastries alone each time.But today was different. After ordering my pastries and a sandwich, she handed me the box with a cheerful "Here you gooo"--but forgot the sandwich. When I asked for a receipt, she said it would take a couple of minutes. I waited nearly an hour.I get that the place was busy, but when she finally printed the receipt (which took less than a minute), there was no apology or effort to make up for the awkward wait. It just left a bad taste in what's usually a great experience.Hoping this was just an off day, but I had to share. Selina.
