Reviews for Bywater Bakery in New Orleans, LA
Fabulous experience with Bywater Bakery for our wedding! They made a delicious gluten-free and dairy-free strawberry coconut... cake which may have been the best dessert I’ve ever tasted - feedback we also received from guests with no dietaryrestrictions. They also made a variety of king cakes that were phenomenal. Can’t recommend enough!! We loved it so much wewent back to the bakery the day after our wedding for breakfast and more king cake!

After having their Chantilly king's cake and Chantilly cake for special occasions, we knew immediately that we wanted Bywater... Bakery to do our wedding cake. The hardest part was choosing the flavors after our tasting! They were so friendly and helpfulthroughout the process. We ended up going with a 3-tier and a sheet cake: top - hummingbird with cream cheese, almond withchocolate custard, red velvet with cream cheese, and a Chantilly half-sheet cake. The cakes were moist and flavorful. Nobodycould agree on their favorite because they were all so good! Read more
People literally formed a huge line at our shower to get cake. It all disappeared, and many people didn't get to try it because... we ran out. Super happy with the taste and the design. 10 out of 10 would order again from you guys. Thank you!!! Read more

I stopped by Bywater Bakery first thing on a Friday morning since I had read about their bagels on their website and wanted to... make sure I got some! When I arrived, I was told that they don't make bagels during King Cake Season, which thoughunderstandable, is disappointing, especially since the bagels are advertised on their website, and there isn't anything on therethat specifies that this is the case. As a visitor to New Orleans, this (King Cake Season) isn't something I was aware of, so anote on the website would have been very helpful! In any event, I decided to purchase a slice of King Cake (they had one veganoption) as well as the Tofu Scramble. The Tofu Scramble is served over grits, which was a first for me (I'm from theNortheast), but was surprisingly good! The King Cake was DELICIOUS and now I'm tempted to go back and buy an entirecake. Overall, they have some nice options. The staff is friendly and clearly were hustling and working hard. It was clearfrom the line (six people deep right when they opened) that this is a fixture in this neighborhood and community; I canunderstand why! :) Read more
Bywater Bakery did the cake and cookies for our wedding. The cake was not only delicious but so beautiful! A member of their... team did an amazing job decorating our cake with flowers from our florist, Leaf+Petal. The chocolate chip cookies were gone in amatter of seconds and people still rave about how good they were. We also loved that we were able to pay for the tiered cake andsheet cake as a total vs by the slice like some other bakeries. Additionally, Sara was a joy to work with every step of the wayfrom answering our questions to the tasting to collaborating with our wedding coordinator and florist. Highly recommend BywaterBakery for any events needs! Photo credit: Maile Lani Photography Read more
Ordered some king cakes while in town. Super yummy! We tried the regular carnival, cheesecake, and praline king cakes. Cant go... wrong with any of those! They also have the best chocolate chip cookies my family has ever tried - and that’s saying a lot (wehave some extreme cookie lovers). Would definitely recommend Read more
Cute spot. Nice outdoor seating available. Fantastic customer service. The food seemed a bit dry and lacked flavor. Could... have just been the morning we were there. Yaka Mein was pretty good. Coffee was super strong which was fantastic. Read more
