Best French Bakery in Edgard

"Built in 1862 as a part of the French Market, this cafe is known for its iconic green and white awning (which has several imitations across the French Quarter). We’re fans of its minimalist outdoor seating. This past summer, Cafe du Monde opened a location in the circa-1912 City Park Casino building, styled during the Spanish Mission Revival period."

"While there’s only one dish available at this restaurant, it’s a famous one. Cafe du Monde’s beignets are a beloved local treat, an affordable indulgence available at any hour. The brand is known around the world, and many a celeb and influencer have posted a powdered sugar-covered selfie."

"Parkway has been a master of pivots throughout the pandemic, from quickly establishing an efficient curbside service model to adding tenting to let seating spill outside. This patio isn’t the most open-air of the bunch — it’s more of an extension of the restaurant — but it is one of the most protected from the elements; no need to fear a storm spoiling your po’ boys and gumbo here."

"This family-owned, casual neighborhood joint is a top choice for classic, overstuffed po-boys. It has grown in popularity but the friendly staff still takes care of the locals, welcoming tourists like they’re family as well. Shrimps are fried to perfection, roast beef is sufficiently messy and the Barq's (and beer) is served icy cold."

"American , Sandwiches"

"A fellow travel friend suggested Willa Jean, as did several of you from our online communities on Facebook and Instagram, and our first breakfast experience in New Orleans didn’t disappoint. When you first enter, if you can get your kids to walk past the counter display of fresh bakery treats then grab a table in the cafe area and order off the menu. Our kids ordered what I think was the thickest avocado on toast we have ever seen, whilst we went with a colorful and healthy quinoa bowl (quinoa + farro + white beans + avocado)."

"If biscuits make your heart go pitter patter, then make your way to Willa Jean restaurant and bakery, where you'll find insanely fluffy ones. Head for the CBD near the Superdome to try the fried chicken and Tabasco-honey biscuits or get really deep into Southern tastes with the crispy boudin and collards version. There's cornbread, banana bread and a "hangover bowl” (short ribs, grits, poached egg), as well as avocado toast and summer hash (made with sweet and new potatoes). Something for everyone, in other words."

"This historic hideaway, named of Monaco’s first American princess, this totally romantic wedding venue in the French Quarter will steal your heart away; it’s just a sheer spacious 150-year-old courtyard featuring fountains, and lush landscaping with romantic French doors to carry you into your wedded live together forever – unforgettable memories!"

"Cafe Amelie is home to one of the most romantic courtyards in the Vieux Carre. The menu revolves around Louisiana fare with some international influences. If there is no time to linger over a meal in the lush courtyard, its sister restaurant Petite Amelie serves delightful sandwiches and salads and makes an ideal lunch spot."

"For anyone who is in a hurry but still enjoys a good outdoor snack, stop by Chateau Cafe in Lakefront. For more than fifteen years, this small shop has provided everything from breakfast food to salads to seafood to anyone who wants a quick meal. If you have time to enjoy the fresh air, grab a table outside to savor one of their sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, or dinner."

"A neighborhood hotspot, you’ve got to check out Treme Coffeehouse when you’re in the area, New Orleans!. We suggest anything with whipped cream as their sweet treats are awesome. But their espresso makes any coffee you purchase worth another visit, and another!"

"Treme Coffeehouse is a gem; bright, cheery, full of local art, free wifi, tasty savories and sweets, excellent java (yes, including cold brew) small and community minded — all reasons to visit again and again."

"Baristas serve cold and hot coffee drinks made from their own beans at this LGD espresso shop. The small shop fronts French Truck's roasting facility, which provides beans for its own customers as well as a thriving wholesale operation. Open for to-go beverages, and as always, and available for home delivery."

"Famous for its doberge cakes since 1949, Gambino’s Bakery ships cakes (and king cakes during Carnival season) all over the map. Order a half and half (lemon and chocolate) or opt for a chocolate peanut butter cake, or maybe a coconut cream. The designer cakes are swank."

"4821 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, (504) 885-7500; www.gambinos.com. Lemon and chocolate doberge cakes feature six layers of buttermilk cake, buttercream filling and fondant icing."

"Sure, it’s the most touristy spot in the city, but no list of beautiful Big Easy buildings can be complete without its most recognizable building. Overlooking Jackson Square sits the St. Louis Cathedral, one of the oldest continually operating cathedrals in the United States. After the original structure was destroyed in the Great New Orleans Fire of 1788, multiple rebuilds resulted in the current—and much larger—structure designed by Louisiana architect Jacques de Pouillyin 1850."

"What looks like a castle in the French Quarter is actually the oldest cathedral in North America. This alone makes it one of the best things to do in New Orleans, especially when you head inside. You see, St. Louis Cathedral was founded as a Catholic Parish in 1720 and includes both Renaissance and Spanish Colonial architecture that is totally gorgeous."
