Kaya buns are devine. Also love their boudin boy, chive biscuit, muffuletta sticks, focaccia and olive fougasse. Coffee is mid though, but def a great bakery in NOLA.

Most delicious pastries I have ever had- snagged the last coconut Kaya bun of the day and will be thinking about that for years. Muffaletta breadstick was deliciously savory and olive forward. Also the cocopresso was a surprising hit- sweet but also balanced. Love u guys :)

Kaya: Highly recommend the kaya bread! It’s true to taste, moist and very yummy! Shroom boom: Cheesy and mushroomy, exactly how I expected it to taste (but it’s quite smol 🤭) Chai latte: Not really a fan of this. The latte wasn’t thick enough and the chai was extremely spiced. I don’t even know if it’s the taste of chai, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg? I drink a lot of chais, but this was a bit much for me.

Ayu honestly exceeded expectations (visiting from out of town, saint louis); everyone working behind the counter was attentive and super friendly. they didn’t make me feel rushed and were very helpful in moving us through the ordering process. we got there within the first hour of open and it wasn’t too crowded (week day) and we had the pick of what we wanted. the kaya bun especially lives up to the hype and i will be ordering at least 10 more before we leave town. the espresso is also quite good and overall the prices were comparable to our top bakeries back home.

I’m not exaggerating when I say these were the best pastries I’ve ever had in my life! Everything was so good, my went back the very next morning to try more items. The flavors were so unique and highlighted classic New Orleans ingredients. Flavors and textures were perfectly balanced, nothing was too sweet, salty, or overpowering. Safe so say this is my new favorite bakery in NOLA. The hype is real and so deserved!!

Located at 1825 Euterpe St in New Orleans, Lagniappe Bakehouse & Coffee offers warm, inviting bakery and café experiences. Guests rave about flaky, buttery pastries, especially the coconut–passion fruit danish, and solid coffee including a popular flat white. Friendly service and a courtyard setting make it a standout spot for a tasty treat and a relaxed neighborhood stroll.
