John Gendusa Bakery Inc

This is the backbone of my favorite Nola must haves, the muffuletta! Fond memories of Cochon Butcher and their version made with in-house made charcuterie and this amazing bread!

2023 Love the bread.

I love this French bread, don't get me wrong, I like Leidenheimer, but I love this one. The addition of the sesame makes a huge difference and the loaves being a little wider makes for a better PoBoy. This place needs to be protected at all costs, a true treasure of New Orleans.

Excellent French bread. Need to go back over there.

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

This Italian bakery makes the best French bread for poor boys!

Purchased Gendusa’s French bread at Zuppardo’s a few years ago but unfortunately no longeravailable. Also like Leidenheimer’s French bread but don’t care for Reisings!

It doesn’t get any better than this. Born and raised in New Orleans. The French bread here can never be completely explained on just how it’s different than any other French bread I have ever eaten. It’s crunchy yet tender taste and feel in your mouth after coming out of the oven melts in your mouth!It’s good plain, with butter, with garlic & butter, or with anything you put on it. Trying it is the only way to know what I’am talking about.This place deserves a “10” star rating 5 just isn’t good enough.

Nothing like a family business to get it right! The bread is perfect and always fresh. It's heart warming to have them operating in this city.

This is the best bread ever

Gendusa has the best French bread around. And the price is unbeatable. Takes me back to my childhood when we would take the ends of the bread and toast it with butter. If you want genuine frechbread Gendusa is the place to go.

A Gentilly tradition Always Naturally Nawlins. Nicest bakery guys Just roll up knock on the door and they'll sell you restaurant quality beads, French bread $1.50, bag of pistolettes about 15 for $3 and baby muffuletta bread by the bag, The earlier the better bc after 2-3pm its sporadic They sell to the neighborhood but main objective is selling/delivering to local restaurants, Sat is ok til 1-2 then they run out but they've worked with me I told them then tell me when I'll come bk by 6-7pm they had more of everything but No Sundays even if they're working they're not selling, but pistolettes/french bread sells out fast Earlier the Better, best in town...

Simply the BEST!

This is the best bread ever

Thank you for keeping the tradition going! There is no comparison.
