"Oozing Old World appeal, this beloved Riverbend bakery is 100 percent plant-based. In addition to vegan baked goods like cinnamon rolls, Breads on Oak dishes out a hefty sausage biscuit, a “muffanada” version of the New Orleans staple; a TLTA (tempe, lettuce, tomato and avocado); a “live food” veg sandwich; and a substantial simply Impossible burger. There’s now a second location in the CBD on Carondelet." - Eater Staff
"You won’t miss anything with the king cakes from the all-vegan Breads on Oak — these cakes are exceptional, even without eggs and milk. In addition to the traditional flavor laced with cinnamon and topped with a maple syrup glaze, the bakery nails Bavarian cream, cream cheese, and more, all delicious. Order to pick up at the original location or downtown or to ship." - Beth D’Addono
"For vegan and gluten-free cake options made with top-notch ingredients, Breads on Oak is a sure thing. With 48 hours notice, customers can order a seasonal cake flavor (maybe strawberry shortcake, carrot, or coconut), or the year-round grand ganache cake. Order online for the grand ganache or call for the seasonal option, but be warned — Breads on Oak does not bake custom cakes or do special writing on cakes." - Clair Lorell
"Warm, woody, and welcoming with seating inside and out, this neighborhood bakery has become a popular weekend breakfast spot for the Riverbend since opening in 2012. Always popular for its vegan and gluten-free options, Breads on Oak made the switch to 100 percent vegan, serving up delicious versions of crusty artisanal rolls, decadent sweet rolls, brioches, quiches, cakes, and hot and cold sandwiches." - Eater Staff
"The opening of this downtown Breads on Oak outpost was sweet news for the plant-based eating crowd, but really anybody in love with rustic breads and tasty pastry will be dazzled. Just two blocks off Canal, tourists on social media continually rave about the many vegetarian and vegan options. Great coffee too." - Beth D’Addono
