“this place is my favorite! pork and chicken bahn mi are both incredible, pork breakfast roll is amazing good and crispy, and the ice coffee is simply the best. the bahn mi has homemade bread that is simply incredible. and the sandwich does NOT skimp on vegetables and meat, the second time i went i just decided to give in to my deepest wishes and bought two lol. for whatever reason the address on google is listed wrong, behrman HIGHWAY not avenue!! i hope anyone who accidentally drove all the way out there makes it to this holy mecca one day. it is incredibly worth it.“
“I've been searching for marinated carne asada to grill and finally found my spot. They have everything you need for a carne asada. I picked up produce, meat, and tortillas. You can even get yourself a treat on the way out from the restaurant located inside the store.“

“I stopped here on the way home from New Orleans, only 2 miles off I-10, so not really out of the way. We have a long drive, so I selected a steamed char sui bun, Pate Chaud, meat pie, Crawfish pie, coconut macaroons, mochi, and a pineapple bar. Omg, the Crawfish pie! It had so much filling, Crawfish, bamboo shoots, scallions, and seasonings I'm not sure of, but it was very spicy and delicious! I'm trying to find a recipe for it in my Vietnamese cooking group, because Google turned up nothing. The Pate Chaud was delicious too, but not as much filling as I wanted. The coconut macaroons were amazing, and surprisingly made without sweetened condensed milk, but you would never know that except for the ingredient list. The pineapple bar was not too sweet, as it looked, perfect for me. The mochi were delicious, with the all familiar chew. Have two more pies to sample, but I have no doubt they will be delicious too!“
“Best beignets ever! You also can't go wrong with their other delicious desserts. This was recommended by locals and now I see why. We are always bringing some home everytime. Light and flaky, not thick. The Rampart location has more selection, but you can grab your favorites in the French Market“
“Willa Jean was one of the top suggested places by friends when visiting New Orleans. Running out of time, I went for a quick pastry since there's a to-go bakery counter near the large dining room. Ordering a blueberry muffin, they warmed it up for me. It was large and really good. It filled me for several hours!“
“This is one of the best lunch cafes I have ever been to! I am a vegetarian and sandwich options are always so limited anywhere else. So many options I had a hard time deciding. Even if you’re not vegetarian you should check this place out!!“
“I stopped in this morning for a little treat for me my girls at Voodoo Harley-Davidson, I got the chocolate knot, Boudain Boy and the shroom boom and let me just tell you, Y'all put the happy in the "Happy Dance"!!!! Everything was delicious!!! We love you Ayu!!!“
“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.“
“What a great little bakery and coffee shop! A small slshop but it's whimsical and clean. A small selection that is done very well. The prices I found to be reasonable too. Got the brioche buns and the olive bread. Both were delicious The pastries looked tempting. I will be ba“
“Wow. That is my immediate take away. I just devoured the best savory scone I have ever tasted. It was so incredible that after I finished it I wanted to call them to tell them. I stopped in for my first time this morning after reading about Levee and living close by. Service, staff, and atmosphere were fantastic but that scone .... Just Wow.“

“Great beer and wonderful baked pretzels! The best, though, is the outdoor beer garden atmosphere. It is just so nice to come here. There is a group that gets together on Thursdays at 6:30pm to meet and speak in German. Very welcoming of all levels of German speaking!“
“Always appreciate the "Welcome to Pontilly Coffee" and the food is great. I had a frappee that they did for me on request with chocolate and soy milk it was delicious.I'm French and can tell the croissant with chocolate is not the best, to dry to my taste.But still 5 stars well deserved !“
“Very good French sweet shops! We went two times and had vallina, chocolate, mango gelato . And had one chocolate eclair and one macaroon.The quality was so good and definitely have to try it!And also want to share they offer very nice and very clean bathroom here, the waitress was very friendly.“

“My first time here. I got an iced pistachio latte with oatmilk and my husband got a frozen mocha latte with oatmilk. We live on the northshore and had to go to the southshore for something and instead of stopping at Starbucks, we wanted to try something new! Definitely recommend. Customer service was great and our coffee order was delicious!“
“Absolutely a great, delicious, and quick! Food was one of kind. MUST try atleast once... Our first time here and we will be back tomorrow morning! The team member behind the counter was friendly and personable.Vegetarian options: Egg and cheese options.“
“This shop is delightful! The pies are stellar, from sweet to savory. We visited from KC and stayed across the street, were able to visit a few times. The hand pies are insanely good, unlike anything we have at home, unfortunately! We bought several mini-pies to take to a family dinner and all were a huge hit. The owners are great. Thank you!“
“I love this coffee shop! A little pricey, but the coffee is great and so is the food. My go-to is the BLT and whipped espresso drink. The backyard/courtyard is super nice on a sunny day. Wheelchair accessible. There were tampons in the restroom, my ram in the bush today ??“
“Popped into Bae's just to look and walked away with soooooo much. Beautiful variety of goods. A little something for everyone's taste. Not only was everything so beautiful and beautifully displayed, it was also super yummy. My fav was the lemon tart dessert, but I really like lemon so I may be a tad biased. Street parking only and soooo worth the trip there.“
“We were looking for breakfast place and did not notice that this spot is vegetarian when we got there. When I saw the menu I was kind of disappointed, but when I tried their food, ohh god, this is the best bread I had in years. Food, service, everything, so even if you are afraid of places without meat like me, don't be, because they do have some delicious stuff everyone would like.“
“Fancy but not bougie! Everything is delicious tho I wish the fig date cheese loaf had all those goodies running through it not just on top. Flavor and bread quality was exceptional tho!! Space was welcoming and staff were friendly and helpful! We devoured the baguette, croque monsieur was delicious and I LOVED the freshly squeezed orange juice!! Great touch!! I’ll be back!“
“Y'all. This is THE place. Out of all the spots we tried while in New Orleans, this was by far the best and our favorite! I loved their grits and what they had to offer dessert-wise. I tell any of my friends who are visiting NOLA that they will always find a tourist restaurant around any corner, but they'll only need to find this place once to know they struck gold. My only regret was not coming back a second time before we flew out!“
“Best bakery in town.Tried several things from here. Staff were friendly and service was great. They are true bakers here.Apple butter biscuit tasted good, having moist fluffiness and good chew and a crunch to its too. It hold the slightest sweetness and would pair well to make biscuit sandwiches.Party bread, tasty bread with a solid bite to it, could pair well with olive oil or be made into a carrier for meats and cheeses, good call for a party.croissant was Rich and crunchy with the perfect amount of bite to it. The pecan center was well balanced and not overly sugary but rich like the met of the bread, smartly made, these folks can bake. I think the savory croissants must be something with their style of bread and I will have to try next time. Nice music playing and has a small patio area in the back.“
“Friendly staff. Excellent bakery. Amazing drinks! I wish there were plenty more locations of this well thought out bakery. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best king cake in all of New Orleans area too (Parisian cream cheese one)“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Haydel’s Bake Shop on Magazine St in New Orleans, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The King Cakes, a New Orleans staple, were nothing short of phenomenal. The perfect blend of flavors and the richness of the cake made it a true delight.What surprised me even more was the coffee. In a city renowned for its coffee culture with places like Cafe du Monde and Cafe Beignet, Haydel’s managed to outshine them. The coffee was robust and flavorful, complementing the sweetness of the King Cake impeccably.Service at Haydel’s was another highlight. The staff was not only friendly but also went above and beyond to make the visit enjoyable. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to assist made the overall experience memorable.If you're in New Orleans and craving an outstanding King Cake paired with exceptional coffee, Haydel’s Bake Shop on Magazine St is a must-visit. It has undoubtedly secured its place as a top contender in the city's vibrant culinary scene.“
“We came in on a whim and were so delighted with how good this was! We had crisp cucumber salad, mini steamed pork buns, spicy crawfish pocket dumplings, and Szechuan hot & spicy dumpling soup. Everything was so good, especially the soup and surprisingly the cucumbers (my husband doesn't even like cucumbers but enjoyed these). Especially considering the price, this was a really nice lunch. Service was pretty quick here! But also be aware, this is not a place to bring a large group to. It is tiny and can really only seat like 2-4 at a time, maybe 5 if you don't need the elbow room. Definitely better for a quick lunch date than a group meal.“
“The donuts from here are outstanding. I was in New Orleans for a training class, and our host brought donuts from here one morning. He told us a little about the owners/bakers and how important this shop is to the community. I only got to try a glazed donut, but it was on my short list of the best I have ever had.“
“Ohhh myyyy! I was in town for the weekend and my Uber driver mentioned this place. He was awesome and stopped here so we could grab some donuts. This place is adorable, smells amazing, and it was nearly impossible to choose because they all looked incredible. My favorite was the strawberry cheesecake! Delicious and worth every calorie!!?“
“I had ordered cookies, and after an hour they still weren't delivered turn out the driver had brought them to the wrong house. Not only did they refund my money but they sent out another order. The manager was very nice and understanding.“
“I bought their guava and cheese king cake this week, it was delicious! I liked that it was NOT drowning in icing. Just the right amount to add sweetness without going overboard. I think guava was also an excellent choice for a filling. I would definitely recommend. I also picked up a couple of empanadas, they were also very tasty. I am interested in trying some of their other baked goods.“
“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“
“I was in Tremé for four days, and I ate and drank coffee at Fatmas each and every single one of those days. The coffee was amazing. The food was delicious and their pastries were just beautiful. I loved the atmosphere and the outside seating. There’s even a couple of open windows where you can just stand and look out and feel the breeze while you’re waiting for your food. I wish that I lived closer so that I could go there every day.“
“Update: the Reese's flavor is not really good. Skip it.IMOBest flavor: Lemon2nd place: white chocolate raspberry3rd place: red velvetService is always great at this location. I do wish they would have samples out everyday or more often like other locations.“
“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.“
“If I could give this atmosphere a 10 star- I would! Every holiday is just magically with amazing decor. I love this place. Coffee choices 5/5, gelato is 5/5! Breakfast 10/10- the waffle was the best I’ve ever had. Bagels were fine but the breakfast croissant was “
“Simple set-up and also superior customer service, especially during the super King Cake rush during Mardi Gras season. These guys also made sure my children's cake and cup cakes were up to par and exactly what I needed. Highly recommend.“
“We were travelling from DFW for a surprise birthday bash. I called 6 or 7 bakerys in the area and Haydel's was the only one to accomodate. Not only were the very kind but she took my vision to another level. The cake was amazingly moist and light, not to mention beautiful. Thank you all! We were more than pleased!“
“Fav breakfast place without a doubt.All the staff are 5 star humans and I like them more than any other places around! And the food is always amazing. I regularly get the Tuscan bagel and it’s so delicious.Couldn’t recommend laurel street bakery enough!They will take little things you like (such as a bit extra toasted or just egg whites) and implement them without the slightest sign of annoyance like I’ve experienced in some other spots.If you haven’t been here def come try them out!“
“Cheesecake Heidi is amazing!!! I needed cheesecake for a birthday at the last minute, and I wound up ordering a bunch of different small cakes. Heidi was super communicative and sweet, got the order together in time, and the cheesecakes are sooooooo goooooooood! I’m so glad I found this spot, definitely will be my go to for special events.“
“This was the first time I’ve been to a wedding and actually seen every last crumb of the cake eaten!I had an all vegan wedding with a ton of non vegan guests and they could not believe how amazing our vegan wedding cake was. Not only was it the talk of the party both in taste and looks, but the entire process was so easy! Lisa was a miracle worker, an all star communicator, such a calm positive energy. I could not have been happier!Thank you so much for making the perfect day even more perfect!“
“The pastries were delicious.I visited New Orleans for three days and started every morning with a freshly made sweet roll and cup of invigorating coffee. The owner and staff were so bright and friendly. Loved the set up and really enjoyed the outside space! Try the satsuma bars too! They’re heavenly! And there is a cute little bookshelf for the kids to check out too! And dog friendly!!“
“My husband and I visited New Orleans, Great Place Great food! We took a Lyft with an Amazing Woman named Veronica ( aka Ronnie) . We asked her who had the Best Beignets.. she told us Antoines Bakery. The next Morning she stopped by our hotel with these Glazed delicious warm, soft delightful, sweet, Heaven sent pastries.. it made absolutely no sense how good these things were. God Blessed the hands that made them.....Sorry -Cafe Du Mond -but you don't have nothing on Antoine's.“
“I stopped by Mr. B's Bakery and purchased 3 dozen glazed beignets for my coworkers and I. Some of them have never had a glazed beignet before until now, and needless to say, they absolutely loved them. Hot, fresh, and a beignet. Their beignets are a 10 out of 10. Service - 8 out of a 10Ambiance - 5 out of 10. Please don't think that this is a fancy spot because it is not. I normally go in, order what I need to order, then leave. Yes, they sell breakfast plates and breakfast sandwiches as well. Grab a plate of liver and grits while you're there.“
“Our cake tasting was absolutely amazing! It felt very personal with the baker sitting with us giving us flavor suggestions and talking about how to make our vision come to life. Plus the tasting was all set up for us right when we walked in. The cake, fillings, and frostings were delicious!“
“Coffee is really good. All food is made fresh and in-house. Really unique flavors and options! Delicious lunch options with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Plenty of seating and even offers covered outdoor seating. Definitely recommend!“
“I dont know how I made it through my first 18 months of Keto not knowing about this place. I went with my daughter (who isn't keto) to pick up a few goodies for me to try. she asked me to get her cookies while there, and I warned her "it is keto" (she always complains about my "keto food") but she wanted it anyway. She got cinnamon cookies and I got key lime cookies plus a strawberry pie and olive bread. Everything was so good! I've tried baking my own keto baked goods for the lady year and a half and crumbly or too soft baked goods is my biggest complaint. The texture and taste of everything I got was so good! To both of us. I will definitely be back.“
“I always find something extra tasty at Hi-Do. Bread, croissants, many different pastries. And of course fabulous King Cake in carnival season. The way they package them shows how thoughtful they are about even the smallest detail. They put the king cake in a box, then in a bag to keep it fresh. Don't need to drag the cake in & out of if a plastic bag getting dust sugar & mess everywhere. One of many reasons they're at the top of my list!“
