This is my local bakery. There are not many bakeries like it and this one is mine! Lol! You absolutely have to have the cinnamon rolls here. Please leave one for me though. The staff is very helpful and I have also had their egg sausage cheese muffins for breakfast. My partner loved their veggie sandwich. Mid-city y'all!

Great things were promised by what I read online, but I have to say I was a bit miffed when I arrived at this bakery and found it to be small, with a couple of tables, and only a handful of baked goods on sale. One or two types of loaves I think, a couple of pastry-type items, and a sandwich menu. The pizza I read about was nowhere to be found. I ended up taking a muffin, which was sugar coated and quite tasty, if indulgent, but there must be something more to what this business is capable of doing than the meager selection I walked into.

Loved this place for breakfast, would 100% visit again.

Stopped on our way to the airport, wish we would have found it sooner. The Olive Loaf was divine. We tried the ricotta cake and the raspberry bar. Ricotta cake was moist and delicious and the raspberry bar was soooo buttery. I wish I had bought 3 olive loafs to take home.

I had been reading good reviews and seeing good food pics for this place for a while. Some of those included their pizza. I walked in, I wasn't greeted super warmly. Grantid, it was during Mardi Gras and I think they planned to close the next day or after so they didn't have many options to choose from. They had their king cake and I heard good things so I wanted to try a slice. The women behind the counter, who really didn't seem friendly she was more I think stressed out, said to try the cinnomon bun instead and that they taste the same. I was little bothered that they couldn't just let me try a slice or the king cake, but oh well. And cinnomon buns are not king cakes even though that is what alot of out of towners say. I actually did end up loving it though, for a cinnomon bun and not a king cake, it had a huge amount of icing on it and that bread was truley baked perfectly. I loved that bread. So, then we ordered some pizza and a sandwhich from the glass case. The lady didn't ask or explain what the toppings were since there wasn't a sign. I had to ask. Again, she didn't seem willing to help, just stressed out. And she gives me the slice and she gives me the sandwhich, tells me the cost and thats it. I didn't know where the napkins were or forks or anything. I had to find that on my own which was on the right of the back door when you exit to the open, grassy area where picnic tables are located. I sit down to take a bite out our food and its cold. Why didn't she mention that? Or off to heat it up? I just think we came at a very time.... But the bread on the pizza was very thick and actually really beautiful. I thought the toppings were nice and fresh too. But who serves a cold pizza? I didn't know it wasn't warm siting there. Anyway, the sandwhich had so much flour on it, we looked like we snorted a whole bunch of cocain covering our lips and chin. It was odd. I enjoyed sitting outside. There was a random drum circle playing music, so we had some nice tunes to go with our cold meal. Overall, I probably wont be back or at least wont be back when it is so close to Mardi Gras. It was not the best experience unfortunately.

Absolutely delicious! Cream cheese cinnamon king cake. French king cake, thank you for the small version! Strawberry oat bars, to die for! Looking forward to many more visits!

Found this little bakery on Yelp while visiting New Orleans. Bought a nice box of Christmas cookies, beautiful baguette and an amazing cinnamon roll. Would definitely visit again.

Jam-bam may be the best ham sandwich I have ever had. Simple- just fresh baguette, thin sliced ham, butter and brie, but damn that was delicious. The pizza here is fantastic as well.

Pizza is really good, meatball sub one of the best I've ever had. But I've been three times, and all three times the staff have been super unfriendly -- enough that it kind of soured the experience a little. :-(

They are never open and are always out of everything. Meatball sandwich was good but I had to go back later in the day to get one cause they wouldn’t make it before 11, even though they were out of breakfast.

So happy we stumbled in here Saturday morning. While I was looking for breakfast loaves and pastries they were cleared out before 11 am. However, I cannot complain about the pizza we then ate for breakfast. The Sicilian slices hit the spot perfectly. Mayhew's dough is flavorful perfectly balanced (not too dense but not to airy either). The sauce and topping were so fresh: perfect Saturday morning.

Stopped in for some coffee and a cinnamon roll today. The latte I had and the cold brew my husband had were solid, and the cinnamon roll was one of the best baked goods I've had. Nice staff. They have pizza too, it smelled amazing.

They had the softest doughnuts and breakfast Sammie's Went two days in a row. Also enjoyed the coffee

I'm in the minority and maybe this business was off when I decided to patronize. First, it is unclear what is in stock at any given time. Even items pictured on Instagram the same day were not actually available. That is a tough sell for such a small menu. Second, some things did not work for me. I am talking to you Rosemary Sweet Potato Pie (tasted old) and Amaretto Cookies (tasted uncooked like I could actually taste the pinch of salt in its original form). Finally, I know things are tough in the food business, but some genuine engagement would have been well received. At the end of it all, the pizza was fine, but it will not bring me back. Hoped that it would've been and could've been a lot better.

This bakery is so good, we have to limit our visits since we leave with two boxes of baked goods when we visit for a biscuit. Great pastries, fluffy old-fashioned honey biscuits, crispy crust deep dish style pizza, plus sandwiches (recommend the meatball and the ham & cheese). A big plus, the pastries and cakes are not too sweet. Check it out, you won't regret it.
