"Ayu is one of the best new bakeries in New Orleans, a bright, quaint corner shop with a mellow vibe. From savory pastries like a muffuletta breadstick and a shroom broom; to seeded sourdough and crusty baguettes; to sweets like a kaya bun, croissant, and chocolate chip cookie, everything is excellent. Sandwiches rotate and include a seasonal vegetarian option, and during Carnival season, the bakery serves one of the best new king cakes in town." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
