Bixby's Cafe New Orleans, LA

A casual atmosphere features walls full of windows surrounding a large dining area. The slow spin of the ceiling fans sends the wafting aromas of delicious food throughout the room. The "click click" of staff shoes on the tile floor is a testament to the quick service. This bagel emporium offers a wide variety of bagels, in addition to the most divine spreads. There are also a number of soups, salads, and a case full of gourmet desserts. Soup is served in bulbous bowls (French bread with the center carved out), a New Orleans creation. Two of the best choices are the homemade chicken noodle and the chicken chili. Gourmet coffee and tea come in plenty of choices.
