Best baked goods that I tried anywhere near the Quarter (and I tried half a dozen places after careful scrutiny!). They have a scary-good selection of delicious things and I wish I could have tried it all.
Amazingly friendly people, and not just the staff -- the local patrons as well. I had the babka, kaya bun, two kinds of frittata, a muffaletta breadstick, and iced masala chai, decaf espresso, and Americano across my two visits, and I tried really hard to get there a third time, but had to catch my flight.
The culture of the community and neighborhood feel outstanding here. And maybe the best thing I've seen in a bathroom for a very long time - a lotion dispenser! Nobody has time for dry hands.

Probably the only place in all of New Orleans where the bread and pastries are approved by even the pickiest French. Everything is delicious. It can get crowded easily though.
I've found the staff here to be about 50% absolute sweeties and 50% not so much, but I. DON'T. EVEN. CARE. I would come back here 1,000 times even if they gave me the middle finger along with my (literally perfect in every way) cinnamon bun. The chocolate babka king cake is a yearly favorite, the muffaletta breadstick is heaven, and the dinner rolls at the holidays are pilowy perfection. You can't go wrong here.

Visit Ayu Bakehouse, you won't regret visiting... but you will regret NOT visiting! You can also order online if not local anymore.
The delicious and game changing Queen Bee king cake arrived in all her glory! Thank you thank you for sharing this Queen Bee 🐝 filled with local love to us! We are a small but mighty urban farm with beehives and other local produce. So, it was an honor to find your bakery. It's vital to source and utilize local ingredients when possible. Not to mention, you can never go wrong with citrus and honey! So, supporting a local Bakery who sources local ingredients, while creating seasonal flavors with local ingredients... is a Bakery to GET BEHIND!
The Queen Bee herself was a gastronomy lovers delight. Our family may be used to the classic king cake and I am thrilled to have introduced them to their first non traditional king cake.
We normally try new spots every year, without repeat, but not Ayu! We plan to order another from you this season (if not sold out online). We will be back year after year.
Thank you for going above and beyond. While creating a memorable experiences for our New Orleanian family

This bakery is a popular spot among locals, and for good reason. While it can get a bit crowded, the high-quality, delicious baked goods make it well worth the visit.
All products are fresh and very tasty We met Chef Merve, she was great.

I saw this on so many different websites, and I just had to check it out. There was a line that went outside, but only waited about 10 minutes to order. This was on a Monday morning. They had quite the assortment laid out upon entering, and the smell was amazing. I had my eyes set on the Boudin Boy. There were only 2 left around 9 AM, I don't know if they restock. I loved it. Very flaky with sausage and a boiled egg inside. It came with chili oil, which amped up the experience for me (lover of spiciness). I'm not a big breakfast person, but I'd eat one of these almost every morning if I could. The other item that also was great was the Muffaletta Breadstick that had olives, salami, and more inside. So good. My friend really liked his Chocolate Croissant. Try to get here early if you can.

We came here twice in our 4day stay. This was an absolutely amazing and delicious spot. I am so glad we ventured out of the tourist area. We even took some pastries to go for our trip back to FL. Great location, great food and super sweet and helpful staff.

The only negative is the waiting in line. The chicory chocolate croissant was good.
