Bywater Bakery

I already loved Bywater Bakery from stopping by their window for treats a couple times. But we ended up choosing them to make our wedding cake, and could not be happier we did! We had a 3-tier cake with both chocolate and vanilla cake options, and fresh fruit in every layer. It was so delicious! We had multiple people rave to us about how yummy it was. They were super easy to schedule a tasting with and communicate with in the planning process.

I asked my coworker for her favorite bakery and she replied quickly with the biggest smile, Bywater Bakery. It was her going away party and I ordered their amazing ‘Chocolate Strawberry Chantilly’. The Habitat for Humanity team loved the fresh chocolate dipped strawberries, the icing, the filling, and yes the cake. Ordering and paying online was easy and when I picked up, they offered to bring it to my car. They have excellent customer service and so many choices. Inside is very unique with tons of art and New Orleans memorabilia with history and displays of treats. And it smells amazing. Thank you so much!!

In A Nutshell: -The Bywater Bakery is a hub in the Bywater neighborhood of NOLA. -Located on the the corner of Dauphine + Independence Streets, you'll easily spot this red painted neighborhood bakery. -I tried out their Bacon, Eggs, Grits + Cheese in a cup breakfast & it was perfect. -They have many other delish baked items that I saw such as Pecan Sandies, Apple Turnovers, Chocolate Croissants, Sweet Potato Sticky Buns, Oatmeal Cookies, Blueberry Coconut Scones + Butterscotch Pecan Scones. -Unfortunately, I didn't try the baked goods, but that shouldn't stop you from trying them out. -They also are famous for their King Cakes, which I saw many people order & pick up while I was enjoying my breakfast. -Everytime someone was handed a cake, they would say, "Happy Birthday". Overall, this is a mom & pop owned store where everyone can feel welcome!

If I got my birthday cake here, this place has to be great. I had the pleasure of trying the Berry - Chantilly cream King Cake here around Mardi Gras and fell in love ! The apple turnovers are perfectly light, tasty and delicious. Whoever took my order over phone, was amazing and a charm. Thank you!!!
