"Mentioned as part of the wave of newer, buzzworthy places in town, representing the city’s fresh, small-batch bakery and neighborhood-spot energy." - Henna Bakshi
"The bakery is open Thursday to Sunday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.—although they often sell out before then. " - Atlas Obscura
"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. Guerin, New Orleans’s only James Beard Award finalist this year, serves the most exquisite selection of baked goods in New Orleans from 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
"Owner and chef Kaitlin Guerin was named a finalist in the James Beard Foundation's 2025 Emerging Chef category. Since opening in September, Guerin’s Central City bakery has received national acclaim." - Erin Perkins
"A pop-up-turned-brick-and-mortar favorite celebrated for benne toffee cookies flecked with benne seeds, cornmeal muffins baked in corn husks with honey butter, and a reputation for inventive, regionally rooted baked goods." - Regan Stephens
