Bywater Bakery is by far my favorite place for King Cakes. Every year, during Mardi Gras, we order at least two cakes from here. One sweet and one savory. The Crawfish King cake is a MUST try. It comes ready to heat up in your oven. It comes out toasty, flaky on outside and crawfish goodness on the inside. Think Crawfish bread. They creatively put colored Parmesan cheese on top.

I love BB as a nice little neighborhood spot to grab coffee and a treat. However, I'm disappointed with the walk-up window being self-service now. It was nice to be able to walk up with my excitable hound and wait for a coffee and snack to be brought out while she enjoyed pets from new people. Now I have to go inside, attempt to fix my coffee while hanging on the the leash of my excited dog who is trying to meet everyone, and feel self-conscious about being inside with her. So it's not really the perfect little take the dog out activity anymore. Boo. I did always tip appropriately for the service and I miss it : (

Lovely place, great food, Shrimp and grits is wonderful. It's a neighborhood spot filled with friendly local people in a very artsy area. The owners are a wonderful couple.

Very cute spot, visited during free cake Friday which was awesome. The crawfish bread was insanely good and so was the croissant sandwich. Will definitely try to visit anytime I’m in town.

Awesome pastries and coffee. We went here multiple times in 3 days and the service was great. Also live music played out front making it a fun experience to drink a cup of coffee.

We were told this place was great, so we went there for breakfast. I got the breakfast Gumbo, which was a 4 on a scale of 1-10. Pretty disappointing.

Best coffee I had my entire trip. Still trying to replicate it. We had a ton of pastries from there as well and they were all so so yummy and flakey. Definitely recommend the apple fritter.

Super delicious blueberry king cake. Be careful though, the one I bought spoiled after 2 days!!I reached out to Bywater Bakery to let them know that the cake I got went bad, especially because there is no labeling on the cake that indicates this. At first, they said their cakes don't need to be refrigerated and that I should check in with King Cake Hub.I explained to both of them that the cake went sour after 2 days even though it was kept cool and dry. They then switched to saying that the Hub gave me a refund, which they didn't. They also said they'd start telling customers to keep the cake cool.I felt like they didn't take my issue seriously at all. Customers know to keep cakes cool, that's obvious. Bywater Bakery needs to tell customers that if they don't intend to eat the cake within 2 days, then it should be refrigerated.I dont make much money and spent $45 on this cake. Really sucks that not only did it go to waste, but Bywater doesn't want to do anything useful about it.
