"Opened in 2021, Leo’s Bread is Kate Heller’s first bakery after selling loaves as a pop-up outside Pagoda Cafe and at Crescent City Farmers Market and manning the large wood‑fired oven at Echo’s Pizza; the Mid‑City shop on Bell Street, right off Bayou Road, also continues to sell at weekly Crescent City Farmers Markets. Heller is currently baking two hugely popular seasonal croissants: a savory croissant with roasted sweet potatoes, feta, sunflower seeds, and dill, and an apple version. They’re available 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday." - Clair Lorell
