John Gendusa Bakery

It doesn’t get any better than this. Born and raised in New Orleans. The French bread here can never be completely explained on just how it’s different than any other French bread I have ever eaten. It’s crunchy yet tender taste and feel in your mouth after coming out of the oven melts in your mouth! It’s good plain, with butter, with garlic & butter, or with anything you put on it. Trying it is the only way to know what I’am talking about. This place deserves a “10” star rating 5 just isn’t good enough.

A Gentilly tradition Always Naturally Nawlins. Nicest bakery guys Just roll up knock on the door and they'll sell you restaurant quality beads, French bread $1.50, bag of pistolettes about 15 for $3 and baby muffuletta bread by the bag, The earlier the better bc after 2-3pm its sporadic They sell to the neighborhood but main objective is selling/delivering to local restaurants, Sat is ok til 1-2 then they run out but they've worked with me I told them then tell me when I'll come bk by 6-7pm they had more of everything but No Sundays even if they're working they're not selling, but pistolettes/french bread sells out fast Earlier the Better, best in town...

We always buy our poboys from perino's seafood in Marrero, the bread is so good I finally had to ask where did they get their bread from. They said from Gendusa's bakery.....just want to let you know for my taste buds Gendusa makes the finest French bread around, bar none. Thanks Gendusa the your fine quality product....Mr. B..
