50 Best Bakeries in New Orleans

“Parkway will ALWAYS be a favorite for me and my family. We absolutely love their poboy’s. This place is #1 in our opinion ❤️“

“We thoroughly enjoyed all the trays we got at Ayu Bakehouse on our recent trip to New Orleans! The staff is very friendly, and it’s clear they love the place and the products they produce! Of all the items we tried I would have to say that the one that was hardest for me to share with my family was the muffuletta sticks!“

“I came to love Nolita after someone recommended their King Cake at the King Cake Hub right after Covid and I never looked back. By far the tastiest confection I’ve ever had. That brown butter satsuma glaze is to die for. Perfection to say the least. Everything I’ve eaten from the display case has been so delicious.“

“Arguably the best bakery in the city. Its location, offerings, and the story behind their culinary chef make it absolutely worth visiting.

Everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made, with a great mix of pastries and savory options that showcase real craftsmanship. It’s the kind of place where the quality stands out immediately.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the experience feels authentic from start to finish.

Overall, a must-visit bakery in New Orleans—simple, memorable, and incredibly well done. Go early to avoid lines and them selling out!“

“Perhaps the best bakery/pastry place I’ve ever been to (and I’m from Montreal!). The chefs here have mastered laminated pastries and the flavour combinations are unique and thoughtful. I hesitate to share this widely because I want to gatekeep a place this good but it should be praised for how awesome it is! Major kudos to the whole team!“

“yum yum yum! enjoyed the ham n cheese, regular croissant, chocolate cookie but the star of the show was a sweet potato feta with chimichurri!
the pecan croissant was just ok, I wished there was more pecan.
the staff is friendly & made great suggestions, including their seasonal sando, i was happy to stop in a few times on my trip.“

“I got my wedding cake from here and they were very accommodating to alter my cake based off the price range I gave. The taste of this cake was really outstanding. Most wedding cakes I find dry but this one was moist and delicious! I highly recommend using them, they're the very best!“

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“We ate there while on vacation and their coffee and their twist on french toast was the best I’ve had. The service was top notch and the cafe was very clean :) Highly recommend stopping in.“

“Everything is delicious here, really good. Best biscuits in the city hands down. They use what they have grown from the garden. The prices are unbelievable and the food is so fresh and high quality. I love the cause and helping kids on the spectrum learn skills and socialization! Truly amazing!“

“The most delicious empanadas!!! The Asian Dumpling was our favorite. 100% highly recommend!!“

“Bread 101 class was great! We got a little behind, but Kira and Sara did a great job of pivoting and making it work. Looking forward to more classes.“

“Quick n easy line for king cake. Good bao also. Will be back to try the bahn mi“

“I love TM Breads and Pastries! They serve high-quality chai, and their pastries are deliciously balanced. It’s a great spot for a morning meetup with friends or even to get some work done. Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: They do have alternative-milk options!“

“Great staff with great breakfast and lunch selections!“

“First time in and tried the s'more bar and the almont petit four. I liked the toasted marshmallow on the s'more. The chocolate layer was unexpectedly light and mild. I expected a darker flavor and a denser texture. So this is a delicate, melt in your mouth s'more. The thin graham cracker base was soft and it's contribution was lost in the overall velvety experience. It is a very good elevated pastry, and I discovered I'm a bit of a traditionalist who prefers the more familiar textures of a traditional s'more.
The almond petit four was recommended by staff and it was exceptional. Great texture, aromatic almond and petit enough for its sweetness to not overwhelm.“

“The best experience ever!! maravilloso biscocho y hermoso, todos mis invitados quedaron encantados, tanto por lo bello como por el sabor. Muchas gracias Juliana Gourmet. La picadera de Ju estuvo fabulosa también.“

“Beautiful setting and perfect food. Best avocado toast I have had in a while. The croissant was flaky and the orange juice fresh. Superb!“

“Sought out the best bakery in the city & we hit the jackpot! Your lemon meringue tarts are probably the best things on earth- SO good! We also absolutely loved the chocolate tart and your chocolate cream puffs are amazing! Thank you for making our experience in New Orleans unforgettable!!“

“Top tier!!! Is all I have to say‼️ Highly recommend.“

“Oh my gosh I bought a box as a souvenir to share with the family. All the pralines I have ever had have been too sugary and hard. Miss Loretta’s Pralines are better than chocolate and her Praline Stuffed beignets are better than the “other very popular place!” I also love the Jesus signs!! I wish I would have bought more!“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream with a creamy texture. I really recommend the strawberry ice cream or the cookies and cream ice cream both are delicious! Bakery is decorated so cute and welcoming atmosphere. Service is great and staff is friendly.“

“Love this bagel shop! I work not to far from this place and I get the bacon, egg and cheese breakfest bagel multiple times per week. The sandwiches may be on the pricier side but you know what they say, you get what you pay for! Myah and Walter always tell the best jokes and keep the energy high! And the quality here is always excellent!“

“Food on my daughter’s birthday was great!! And Don Jose is on top of everything. Thank you so much. 💖💖“

“The Royal Cakery nailed both our wedding and grooms cake. We showed them pictures to mix together and they understood the assignment. The cakes themselves were absolutely delicious too and kept their freshness for days! I will be using them in the future for birthdays, etc.“

“great food, clean place, quick and efficient“

“If you're lucky enough to have ever visited this place then you know why I say that you are lucky. Where else can you find good Texas toast for a dollar and just about any other product in there also is for a dollar? In addition to the ridiculously cheap wholesale prices the staff is amazing and friendly. Like the Dos Equis beer man was say I don't always eat bread but when I do I get it from here.“

“I was uptown visiting my sister and passed by here.Back in the day when I wanted to use Daddy's car ,I would pick him up from work and would drop by here and they would have the bread hot and ready when we came. Once we got home, we added a little Parkay butter, and oooh wee dinner would be so good .
The colonel was the best dad in the neighborhood. All the kids looked up to my parents because they loved everyone. Good memories
, yall, be blessed!“

“Great experience. Amazing taste. I am a NOLA Cinnaholic.“

“Whoever thought it was a good idea to make a donut shop consisting of only cake-style donuts- God bless you! I ordered through Uber Eats so I can't speak to the service or atmosphere but the donuts were/are DELICIOUS!!!!!! Next time I'm in NOLA, I will be visiting here. However, if you want to open a store in MD, I can promise you at least one faithful customer 😉“

“Awesome atmosphere with amazing owners who go out of their way to give doggo visitors plenty of love“

“I was surprised at how delicious the pizza was-and so fairly priced.! The restaurant was clean and the workers took good care of us! Loved it!“

“My brother and I ordered for Mother's Day and it was a unique gift she loved! I tried a clean house, a garden of flowers but at the end of the day, mom wanted chocolate!“

“Joel made our night when we went to bratz y’all for my boyfriend’s birthday. It was slow, and he took time to discuss the beer options with us. Go see Joel!“

“Really good cupcakes! Beautifully decorated! I plan to come back!“

“it's a great spot for some really good coffee ☕“

“love it have everything you need“

“I saw this lovely place on Uber Ears and decided to give it a try. I AM HOOKED! Unfortunately I don’t go to that area of town often but I may have to in the future! The Bavarian Cream and Venetian Cream iced coffee drinks are off the chain! But the best is the Wellness Tonic…their signature wellness shot with tonic water and ice! Chef’s kiss!“

“We stopped into O’Delice French Bakery for a snack. The atmosphere is very neat and fun, similar to a French Bakery. The nice lady behind the counter explained which pastries contained tree nuts. The lemon tart was delicious and we were very pleased with our choice.

“Unbelievable and life changing bakery“

“Best French bread ever made, I was raised on Gendusa French bread and. Many years ago my father was the bookkeeper for John Gendusa, I believe he was on either Touro or Frenchman st and then I would go buy the bread through a slot in the wall. Best bread ever baked“

“Great food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“Jeanea was wonderful! She really executed the sugar cookies I needed for a styled shoot for a bachelor party. It was awesome. The pretend groom was so excited and surprised. It made for wonderful pictures to look back at. Thank you Jeanea! I can't wait to work with you again soon!“

“We had a fantastic birthday party for my dad and Crazy Waffle Bar went over the top for my family and guests! They were so great to work with, very reliable and professional!! Will definitely recommend them to friends and family! If I ever need a waffle caterer I will be using them for sure!“

“the cakes 🎂 are so good...u have to try them..“

“I was in Tremé for four days, and I ate and drank coffee at Fatmas each and every single one of those days. The coffee was amazing. The food was delicious and their pastries were just beautiful. I loved the atmosphere and the outside seating. There’s even a couple of open windows where you can just stand and look out and feel the breeze while you’re waiting for your food. I wish that I lived closer so that I could go there every day.“
