Nolita - A New Orleans Bakery

This hidden gem of a bakery/cafe has been our saving grace! Before our first visit, they kept selling out and closing early, so we knew it was going to be amazing. We live around the corner, and go multiple times a week now. The owner & Chef, Martha, always greets you when you walk in. Blake always has a huge smile and is so friendly, and they are all so personable. There isn't a single thing they sell that isn't short of extraordinary. Easily one of if not THE best croissants we've ever had in our lives. The chocolate chip cookie is gigantic. The Cinnamon Bun is also huge and delicious. Their specialty options throughout the week are always on point and normally gone if you can't get there early for them. Truly, the best bakery/cafe in the area, and probably the city as a whole. I believe she also does private cakes/cupcakes, other specialty things. If you're visiting, plan to stop here Wednesday-Sunday EARLY. We love Nolita, and I guarantee you will also!

Nolita Bakery made a beautiful cake for my wife’s birthday and it tasted just as good as it looked. The price was very reasonable and they were incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Couldn’t have asked for better service or a better cake. Highly recommend.

We had Nolita Bakery make our wedding cake and it was perfect. Martha was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. We do not live in the New Orleans area so we were not able to do a tasting before the wedding but that was no problem at all because it was literally the most delicious cake I have ever eaten. We had a layer of vanilla and a layer of orange blossom and I am still dreaming of this cake. When I return to NOLA I will most certainly check out the bakery. Highly, highly recommend Nolita Bakery if you are in need of a wedding cake.

I had the Satsuma & rum cake with butter cream frosting. Delicious. Cake was light,flavors tasty but not overbearing. Check out the website. Original creations. Eat in tables available. Not far,short walk, from Lafitte Greenway. I've had other pastries ( brownies muffins, cookies)and haven't been disappointed.Everyone is welcoming. Store is clean. Easy to find at corner of N.Rendon St. &Orleans Ave. Street parking, I've never had a problem parking next to store.

The passion and love behind this bakery are just really beautiful to witness. The crawfish bread is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the smoked chicken salad sandwich is so perfectly savory, smoky and fresh. The breads here are to-die for, and the atmosphere is the cherry on top. The outdoor lounge space is quaint and charming, and they are located near city park if you grab breakfast or lunch to go. Martha created a beautiful custom birthday cake for my mom’s birthday with fresh strawberries and a classic Swiss buttercream frosting. This is my go-to. Do yourself a favor and try it out!

Found this gem while on a Saturday morning walk. By far the best croissants I’ve eaten in a long time. The brownie croissant was flaky on the outside, tender layers on the inside and sliced to include with a healthy spread of chocolate ganache. Definitely try the honey cornbread. Generous portion, tender and just enough sweetness not to be cloying. Pet friendly and warm, inviting staff.

I’m so glad I found this bakery! I’m from Texas and we traveled to Nola for a birthday celebration and I needed to order a cake. I emailed them, and they took my order in so quickly. They even sent me a reminder email a week prior which I really appreciated. We ordered a cookies and cream cake and it was AMAZING!!! It was so delicious! Thank yall so much for making our experience so easy! We will definitely be back when we plan another trip to New Orleans ☺️

Nolita is a great little neighborhood bakery. They make their cakes, cookies and pastries onsite, which makes a super difference. They also have sandwiches and beverages of all sorts. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and all of the staff are really friendly and helpful. This is definitely a neighborhood gem worth seeking out.

Small case but filled with goodies. Personnel were super friendly and helpful. They have an espresso machine and a few pre-made syrups. There is a little side cooler with some cake slices, small cakes for $20, chicken salad, and chicken salad sandwiches. There's a fairly large turf outdoor space, and they indicated that dogs were welcome. Great mix of sweet and savory options! The chocolate cake slice was delicious! Super super moist and loved the icing! The carrot cake was also super moist, but I do wish the flavors were a bit more amped up.

Stopped into Nolita for a quick pastry and coffee on a Sunday morning. It's definitely a bakery, not a coffee shop as they only have basic coffee with cream/milk and simple syrup. No espresso or flavors, but that's fine. All of the pastries looked delish: After asking for a suggestion from the owner who was behind the counter, I decided to go with the cheesecake danish. The dough was soft and flaky. The cheesecake filling was thick, but not too sweet. Very solid pastry. There's a really cute patio with tables and chairs on the side of the building and there's seating inside. Overall, a very cute neighborhood bakery. Perfect stop on a morning walk or cheery location to bring in your laptop and get some work done. Friendly service and you can see a bit of the kitchen, so it was nice to see a small business owner who obviously loves their craft and decided to open their own business.

A slice of Nolita focaccia pizza is HEAVEN! Just to walk into the bakery aroma is worth the trip.

I'm in NOLA for Labor Day weekend and I'm soooo glad we were able to swing by. Upon entry we were greeted, the smells were amazing, and the atmosphere was super chill and welcoming. I absolutely love blueberry muffins, and they had fresh ones ready to eat. It was called Blueberry Extravaganza, and man was this muffin bomb!! So moist, sugary crystals on top, and such a great flavor. Martha, you and your team are awesome!! 10/10 My dad and Martha's dad grew up together. Martha and I have a bit of a similar history, and I've heard a lot about her. It was so nice to meet her and be at her bakery! Thanks Martha and can't wait to see you again!

Got croissants today but they were not flakey, almost stale tasting. And they were shaped like cinnamon buns. I've gotten other pastries and overall they are mediocre.

I ordered a birthday cake and it was outstanding! Usually I have 1/4 - 1/3 of birthday cakes left over. This one was so popular that at the end of the party, I only had a few small slices to take home. The staff provided great service and communication and the cake was flawless. This is where I'll order birthday cakes from now on!

Great little bakery. And the focaccia pizza on Fridays is everything!!! Just be careful the crawfish bread was completely raw inside. I think they sell baked and parbaked options, I could be wrong but maybe I ended up with a parbaked one. Great place though and friendly staff.
