One of the best parts about this time of year is undoubtedly the king cake. Bakeries, grocery stores, and restaurants all have their own unique recipes that are sinfully delicious and the perfect accessory to any kitchen countertop in New Orleans. There's still time to get your hands on a tasty king cake, and there's one little bakery that's got some of the best king cake in New Orleans.
Welcome to Bywater Bakery, a local eatery in the heart of the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans.
This laid-back bakery is much more than meets the eye. Part art gallery, part restaurant, part bakery, this locally owned and operated eatery does it all.
It’s a great pit stop for a quick breakfast or a light lunch. Breakfast options include everything from breakfast gumbo to a traditional bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. On Fridays, snag one of their house-made bagels for a carb-tactic way to start your day.
But the real stars of the show here are the king cakes.
Just look at that beauty. Perfection!
They’ve got several options to choose from.
King cakes are traditionally a sweet treat, filled with everything from cream cheese to pecan pralines, but the folks at Bywater Bakery also have a selection of savory king cakes that will blow your mind.
