There's just something about stepping inside of a bakery and your lungs filling with that sweet baked goods smell that instantly puts you in a better mood. When your sweet tooth starts to kick up, there's one little bakery in Louisiana that's one of the only remaining authentic bakeries in Louisiana, and it's worth a road trip from any corner of the state.
Welcome to Poupart Bakery, a family-owned and operated French bakery in Lafayette.
Established in 1967, Poupart is the only remaining authentic French bakery in Acadiana, and one of the only ones remaining in Louisiana. They just don't make them like this anymore!
From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted with a huge display case full of goodies.
Everything you see is made from scratch, just how it should be.
From Chantilly cakes to fruit tarts, there's a huge assortment to choose from.
The attention to detail that goes into each piece is incredible.
These creations are so beautiful, they're almost too pretty to eat!
...almost.
Poupart Bakery also bakes fresh breads every day, so you can pick up a few loaves to take home.
Freshly baked bread will take your homemade sandwich from good to great. They offer both traditional breads and special signature creations, too.
And before you leave with all of your goodies, be sure to check out the merchandise aisle, where you'll find delicious jams, jellies, oils, and spreads.
Are you hungry yet? We know we are!
