Lagniappe Bakehouse in Central City is a charming new gem serving exquisite, flavor-packed pastries and baked goods that bring a fresh vibe to New Orleans.
"The beautiful Lagniappe Bakehouse is the culmination of Kaitlin Guerin’s years-long practice of perfecting her viennoiserie, something she approached with the same artistry as her lifelong dedication to dance. The result is the most exquisite selection of baked goods in New Orleans, served out of a quaint Central City space bustling with excited customers. There are cornmeal muffins, pain au chocolate, seasonal Danishes, cardamom buns, gateau Breton, focaccia sandwiches, and more — all of which sell out quickly." - Clair Lorell
"A bakery in New Orleans known for its innovative king cakes during the Mardi Gras season." - Kayla Stewart
"A bakehouse offering pastries that nod to Southern and African influences, located in a breezy cottage."
"A bakery owned by chef Kaitlin Guerin, a semifinalist in the Emerging Chef category." - Clair Lorell
"Kaitlin Guerin’s Lagniappe Bakehouse is making waves: The pastry chef approaches her viennoiserie with an artistry and deliberation honed by decades of training in professional ballet. Everything about Lagniappe is superb, from the decadently flaky croissants to the savory pastries to warmly spiced lattes. The canvas tote bag, only sold in-house, is not only adorable — it has great utility. It’s a keepsake to gift the Lagniappe lover in your life so they can carry a little piece of the bakehouse with them wherever they go." - Clair Lorell
