28 Best Bakeries in New Orleans

“It was a HOT day in July today so we were thankful to find Jay’s Place upstairs (with air conditioning.) The food was amazing and our servers were wonderful. We’ll definitely be back to try other poboys! Thanks, y’all!“

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

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

“In town for a wedding, tasked to bring fun things for an informal wedding prep event the day before. I’m admittedly a bakery snob, that annoying person that insists the Americans put too much sugar in everything, especially baked goods (yes, the irony is I am also American).

After light research, swung by Levee. Was a tiny bit suspicious because most of the pastries were the size of a small child’s head. Grabbed several classics (pain au chocolate, croissants) and made a last minute call to snag two of their jamon y beurre baguette sandwiches.

Omg. Those sandwiches. Overall everything was a hit but that sandwich…the perfect ratio of salty ham to soft Brie cheese, the acidic bite cornichons, the crusty baguette. Delivered by a lovely woman who gently sang my order (which didn’t know I needed in my life).

I went back every day of the wedding weekend. And just finished the final sandwich at the airport.

Until next time Levee.“

“Placed a large order and they handled it with no problems. The pralines and gifts boxes were perfect.“

“The Gooey Brownie is Delicious☺️“

“Our king cake arrived yesterday. It is so deliciously fresh and instantly transports you back in time when your mouth would water all day long waiting for the teacher to cut up the class king cake. Thank you for sharing your talent.“

“Very nice and cosy place in the heart of New Orleans, not far from Bourbon and Canal street. We had the biscuit tower, the big daddy burger and a chocolate chip and walnut cookie and it was all excellent. Definitely recommend! I also appreciated that they had a list of other vegan and vegetarian NOLA businesses on their notice board inside. ???“

“I mcLOVE this place. I just finished taking a bread class with Ryder, head baker, and not only learned so much, but we got to take a bakery tour, eat and sample so many yummies they have and meet some really neat people! Take a class or stop in and support this awesome gem. Say hi to Ryder too - he's the bread angel :)“

“Toni made our first visit at sucre wonderful. Helped us make choices with the order. Atmosphere is great. And as we sat and enjoyed our tea and affogato, we saw how hard Toni worked and was able to easily navigate such long lines of people.“

“What a sweet bakery, sandwich shop, and grocery store. The guava cheese King Cake was a light and fluffy brioche dough and absolutely delicious. I could not resist biting into the pastries (both savory and sweet) on my walk.I appreciate having a source for Latinx supplies in Mid-City! The staff was very welcoming and courteous y nosotros hablamos español. I feel like family there and am dreaming of what kind of yumminess I'll stock up on my next trip there.

Parking: Parking right out front of the bakery

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to access entrance and aisles that are wide enough for a wheelchair.“

“Amazing Event Cakes — We had a formal event this weekend for which Bywater provided our cakes. The chocolate peanut butter was to die for. The other cake was not what we ordered but we loved it just the same. If you need a cake for any occasion, we highly recommend Bywater Bakery.“

“We purchased a traditional king cake and some pastries. Everything was excellent, as was the service.“

“If not the best coffee shop in NOLA, I’m not sure what would come first. Be sure to chat with the owner who is a wealth of knowledge on things coffee. Highly recommended.“

“They make a great king cake. It has a traditional feel, but fresher and better than most traditional spots. The dough reminded me of a Hawaiian roll and the cream cheese was sweet. It was delicate and basic and perfect. It is more expensive than I want it to be, but I could say that about every business on Magazine street. I got the cream cheese and almost everyone at my party asked me to text them the name of the bakery.“

“Great food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“Shanice is the most amazing person at the mid-city location! She greeted us warmly and made our experience so perfect!! She offered suggestions and made the best coffee I’ve ever had! The egg and cheese sandwich was like eating a sandwich made in heaven!! Because of your amazing staff and perfect quality food you have a repeat customer out of me!!“

“Unbelievable and life changing bakery“

“Amazing experience. Food was phenomenal and beer was perfect.“

“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.“

“In a city full of amazing bakeries, Ayu may be the best! Their flakey, melt in your mouth pastries are something you would expect to find in France. Their coffee is perfection- Family and dog friendly.“

“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!“

“exactly what a bakery should be. excellent product, no over the top insta-ready look, great service. BEST CROISSANTS IN TOWN by far. and whatever is going on the bagels is perfect. you can make it as simple or as spectacular as you want. and such a treat to grab a fresh squeezed OJ to go with it. and i’m not vegan, but the vegan bagel open face sandwich is often my first choice when going for a big filling breakfast that leaves me feeling ready and light. so delicious!!! i could go on and on. leo’s is a dream.

Dietary restrictions: easy for vegetarians and stellar option for vegan bagel“

“We were looking for coffee one morning on our visit to NOLA and found this close to our stay. Great coffee and one of the best biscuits I’ve ever had! Put a little honey on the bacon and egg and it was killer! Glad to see an environment for folks to learn and improve on their skills.“

“Fresh Baguettes, bagels, English muffins, bread!“

“Yall, I try a donut in almost every city I go to. Hurts donuts is for sure in my top 3… and I’ve tried probably around 40 donuts all over the country/world. Kennedy was amazing the second I walked in! The was so sweet and helpful. I asked for recommendations which she gave me plenty and they were all spot on. The store front is so cute and clean and fun. I will definitely be dreaming about these donuts! Thank you Hurts!“
