50 Best Bakeries near Westwego

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Crumbl Cookies offers a delightful treat with its rotating menu of gourmet cookies. Each cookie is large, soft, and packed with unique flavors, making every bite a satisfying experience. The in-store ambiance is modern, with a welcoming open kitchen concept. While the cookies are a bit pricey and sweet, they’re perfect for indulging or sharing. Overall, Crumbl is a top choice for anyone craving something special.“

“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!“

“The Gooey Brownie is Delicious☺️“

“Hope brought our baby shower cake dreams to life with this one. The flavors were absolutely delicious and the cake was so fresh. Absolutely 10/10!! We had one tier that was chocolate with raspberry preserves filling and the other was red velvet with white chocolate cream cheese.“

“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.“

“My first but not my last time!“

“Don't get the beignets. They're absolutely terrible. I'm sorry, but they are. I wish I could say 1 positive thing about it, but I honestly can't.“

“Been obtaining bread,pastries and king cakes from them for years. Loved the elder lady who worked the front counter and now I believe it's her Son, amazing gentleman!! The items we purchase is ALWAYS first class!! Scrumptious!!❤️❤️❤️“

“The absolute BEST King Cake I’ve ever had!! It’s not dried out and it has the perfect amount and flavor of cream cheese inside!“

“Amazing cakes!! We order king cakes from here every year!!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“We just came back from France again and I was complaining how much better everything is over there. Standards down here in nola are extremely low so when I go somewhere I don’t expect anything special in regards to customer service “you won’t get a hello or thank you most the time”, and the food isn’t nearly as good as people think it is. Nor is it priced accordingly for the quality. I find everything pretty meh down here for the price.However, with all the negativity there are a few positives. Bellegarde and their euro sandwich. Currently sitting at 6.50 it’s a normal deal considering in France they were around 5 euro. Bellegarde’s baguette is one of the best also in the city. I rank it up there with breads on oaks in terms of crust, quality and taste.“

“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. ???“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “best place ever! Food so good and dessert good. Beautiful cool chair. Nice bathroom. Cool music. Definitely recommend” Margaret, age 7“

“Their soup noodles variety and the dimsum taste good. And ll of their pastries are great, it is highly recommendable.“

“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!“

“The drinks were fabulous!!!!! My friend got a cake for her birthday and it was amazing taste. I got the breakfast wrap, the biscuit bacon and the croissant bacon. It was delicious and yummy and so so fulfilling. We got three alcohols and it was so tasty !!! I love this space and it was def a spot I will go again. The worker was great service ! def stop by.“

“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.“

“Incredible neighborhood bakery with the best biscuits I have ever had. Staff was knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. The owner was behind the counter and said he was an award winning professional pastry chef that decided to leave that part of the industry to open his own shop. Today, we tried the individual monkey bread with bananas foster sauce and the biscuit with cranberry jam. No butter was required in the biscuits, they were the perfect level of buttery and flaky. They offered coffee and bottles beverages. The other diners in the shops were raving about the cinnamon rolls, so we have something to try on our next visit! Don't miss this hidden gem!“

“The cake is delicious and the icing is even better. The staff is always polite and very helpful.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! We got several empanadas to try. Such a cool find. The staff was friendly and it had a cool New Orleans vibe but different. You can sit and enjoy the views of magazine street and the spinach and artichoke empanadas will make you lick the plate. Hands down awesome“

“Have been eating Manny Randazzo’s king cakes for several years now, but the pecan praline purchased Sat. was the best ever. It had a little more icing but a lot more delicious filling. So, so scrumptious!!My only suggestion is to put the king cake in box to prevent icing from sticking to the bag. Thank you)!“

“Great staff with great breakfast and lunch selections!“

“Absolutely loved my sons cake from The Sweet Life Bakery. The cake came out amazing in looks and taste! Would absolutely recommend!“

“I recently just moved to the neighborhood so I was really delighted that I would get the opportunity to visit this wonderful place they have such delicious food. However what I do not like is that they have horrible service and the attitude of the staff is lackluster that it is very confusing when you walk in there as far as directions. That aside they tend to miss plate items simple as meat and bacon I have to keeping me waiting seems that I was number 16 and they call 17 18 19 20 then I became a little concerned they hastily put together my plate where the items did not match my order it was no due diligence in checking the tickets to make sure that the items match with the person actually paid for as if there’s no kitchen manager or it’s just a free-for-all back there seems I’ve worked in the kitchen previous places I can spot the weakness maybe they need a staff that’s more enthusiastic about working at such a fine establishment and if they can appreciate that maybe that whole family dynamic atmosphere that they try to create something that’s really a hindrance to the business model and with overall discourage people who want to return and spend their heart on money so that they can keep this black on establishment on and Poppin but as you can see this is why people say black on establishment suck and black on businesses suck and they don’t give you a type of business and respect that you deserve because Black people suck but as another black person I’m not able to say that because that means that I suck so what a predicament this put me in oh my gosh and bring back the turkey Bacon please.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! Honestly no complaints. I came with my family just to get gelato and we are OBSESSED. The owner was so nice and started conversation with my crazy family. We enjoyed playing chess together and felt welcomed to stay a while. We got seconds of gelato because it was so good and we plan to come back to have lunch soon. Their macarons have also appeared at family gatherings and are delicious. I would strongly recommend this place for lunch or dessert. Such an amazing hidden gem!

Kid-friendliness: This place was so kid friendly! The little ones with us felt very welcomed.“

“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.“

“Perfect cookies for any occasion.“

“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.“

“Oh my goodness ! Beats krispy Kream hands down!!! They have the best donuts and smoothies. I tried the boudin Kolache it was amazing ! I’m calling them Boulaches lol very good. Friendly people.“

“This is a neighborhood favorite! The food is very good and consistent. The staff is friendly and professional. The price point is inexpensive, especially for seafood. I die here frequently and will continue to. I usually get the butterfly shrimp and sweet potato fries with potato salad.

Parking: The restaurant has his own free parking lot“

“Great almond croissant paired with smiling service makes for a wonderful start to the morning!“

“Stephanie at Haydel's went above and beyond to work with me and Ryan on orchestrating their first groom's cake that would be two different college stadiums in one cake, half LSU Tiger Stadium and the other half FSU Doak Campbell Stadium.
She also helped us with our mini king cakes that we gave as welcome gifts to our guests staying at The Westin for our Room block. Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous too! Both of our cakes were absolutely amazing and they tasted delicious! We had so many compliments on the cake, they are the best! We highly recommend Haydel's Bakery!“

“Got some amazing desserts earlier today… There were so many options, I ended up with a big box of goodies. And that berry cheesecake was fantastic!“

“If you’re looking for a sweet potato pie, you should try Antoine’s in Gretna! It’s not the sweet potato pie that I’m accustomed to as far as how it’s prepared (based on how it look), baked, and the taste but it’s close enough. The customer service is always top tier! It’s inexpensive, to me and meets my need for the most part! I don’t live on the West Bank so it would be nice if they answer the phone before I drive ‘cross the river!! Reason being, two separate times that I went, it was closed! However, check them out!“

“Cool atmosphere and good cakes!“

“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.“

“Great planty outside seating and the nicest people. Delicious iced coffees, spinach and feta croissant, spicy shirmp nola-chés, and bread pudding. Definitely a must on your list if you're passing through the area.“

“The lady was really helpful and patient with helping us decide what we wanted, since we weren't familiar with the products. It was obvious that they were busy but she never made us feel uncomfortable or rush us. She also gave us extra to taste after our purchases!! My best customer service experience in forever. Thank you!!!“

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

“I went for the Bakery and it was Amazing, first time trying Pastelitos de Carne Cubanos 10/10 the people there were nice and amazing customer service, people dancing with the music and just enjoying the moment, you have were to sit and enjoy your cafe con pan definitely coming back.“

“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.“
