You’ll find Creole Bagelry tucked away in the heart of Slidell, Louisiana.

This bright and cheerful little restaurant has been a favorite breakfast joint for St. Tammany Parish since they opened their doors in 2003.

Their breakfast menu alone is worth the road trip.

Creative dishes are always finding their way to the menu here at Creole Bagelry. Pictured below is their chicken and waffles Benedict, a powerhouse mashup of two of the most popular breakfast dishes that you’re sure to love.

But you don’t have to wake up early, because breakfast is served all day!

Lunch is served from 11 a.m. till close, and their lunch menu is peppered with delicious wraps, sandwiches, and healthy salad options.

But we’re here to talk about the bagels.

Creole Bagelry is the Northshore’s first and only scratch-made, kettle-boiled New York style bagels.

These authentic bagels are made fresh every morning from scratch using natural ingredients and local produce.

And you’ll have a plethora of options to choose from, including blueberry, cinnamon raison, everything, cranberry almond, garlic, jalapeño, oat, onion, poppyseed, rye, wheat, pumpernickel, sesame seed, plain, and a featured monthly special donut.

Get yours plain, with one of their many cream cheese spreads, or incorporate it into a hearty sandwich to fuel your day.
