    This is a gem of a coffee shop and bakery. The array of sweet and savory baked goods is impressive. We had a banana cinnamon bun that was served warm and was familiar and comforting but also a little surprising. It was also large enough for two adults to share. The fresh squeezed OJ was truly a highlight, so sweet and refreshing. Eve the plain old drip coffee was good.

    I love bearcat restaurant so I was excited to try their bakery. I got the Thai ice tea donut and the ham and cheese croissant. The pastries were solid, nothing special. Taking off stars for cleanliness. I dined in and the floor was gross. There was food crumbs all over the floor. There's no way all of that was from one day. Additionally, the chairs were nasty and I could tell hadn't been cleaned in awhile.

    In town for a conference and I'm always seeking out good food, great atmosphere and good vibes. Highly recommend the staff and anything they make. Btw they make the ricotta in house.

    This was a nice and roomy bakery/cafe near my AirBnB. Thought it would be interesting with their unique goods + coffees they offered and I'm glad I did. One of the employees (didn't catch his name) recommended the Coconut Donut and Pain Au Chocolat as that's what Bearcat is known for. I grabbed a Maple & Sage Latte for myself along with five different pastries - Everything Bagel Bun, Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Bun, Pain Au Chocolat, Bear Claw w/ Almond Filling, and Sweet Bun. If I didn't do a to-go order, I'd definitely sit here. It has a very chill atmosphere.

    We love bearcat. Plain and simple. This bearcat ups a level with their baked pastries and coffees. If you can get a fig berry jam croissant, it is worth the wait. Decedent and crispy. Would not hesitate to eat seven of them. The breakfast platter is similar to other bearcat establishments, but amazing overall! This is the place to grab bearcat favorites and pastries!

    Why wait in line at the restaurant when you can sneak right in here for the same quality food, a large selection of baked goods, and your morning coffee. I'll admit, there were 6-7 people in front of us at 8am when they opened the doors, but the line moved quick and most people took their pastries and coffee to go. That leaves you with plenty of tables and a quick turn on the breakfast menu. Pancakes were nice and the fresh blueberries are a great addition. However, the breakfast sando was the true standout - the eggs were light, the sausage tasted freshly made and perfectly spiced, and the biscuit was deliciously buttery. I grabbed an eggnog and white chocolate cookie that came across like a lightly dressed up sugar cookie, but I'd gladly go back and try all of the other pasties. Get in here before people find out they don't have to wait 2 blocks over.

    Absolutely loved my time here! Went on a little brunch date this afternoon and we had a great time! Although it was downtown NOLA, we found a sound place to park right down the street from here. As we walked in, we were immediately hit with a wave of hot pastries being made and coffee being brewed -- Absolutely love that smell! Originally, I planned to get some pastries and try a selection of drinks but then we realized they serve the full menu of Bearcat brunch so we got the Hot Chicken sandwich and Classic Bearcat breakfast. For food, I'd give it a 8/10 but I would still go back for more! The Hot chicken came out to be a large sandwich with a side of their potatoes. The chicken was crispy and not too spicy, but a little bit more on the charred side for cooking. The classic breakfast is always a hit in my books but the bacon was more well done than i'd like. I'll be back for the bakery items! Also, the hot Purple mountain was pretty good! I would rate this separately as a 9/10! The service was okay. Nothing too special.

    Small little bakery with big flavor, great service and coffee! Definitely recommend this for a breakfast if you are in NOLA! We walked from the French Quarter (about a mile). We'll be back!

    Everything was delicious! Had to wait in a line outside the shop but it was worth it! 5

    Bearcat Cafe was jam packed with a long line and wait list for lunch, so we walked a block to their sister branch Bearcat Baked. So glad we did! Ample empty tables and a chiller vibe. They serve a similar menu, along with fresh baked goodies. Service was quick. Staff were friendlier and less harried. I loved BC's shrimp & grits and it was available here. Shrimp were plump, juicy and cooked just right, although the sauce tasted a bit different than the cafe's. Grits were oddly cold in one spot in the bowl. Also had an Americano and a slice of coffee cake -- a lovely finish to the meal. Bearcat Baked only had blueberry muffins and coffee cake in the pastry display case by early afternoon. Go early for better selection!

    I had a great experience at Bearcat Baked! The bakery was a few minutes from our hotel and still had plenty of goods within closing hour. My party tried an iced vanilla latte and maple latte with sage. Their espresso is excellent and the drinks were tasty and well crafted--it takes a few minutes to get your drink order, but it's worth the wait! We also tried the coffee cake and bearclaw. While both items were a tad dry, they were full of flavor and served in large, shareable portions. They had many other pastries that looked good and their sandwiches smelled amazing too. I highly recommended this spot if you're looking for a quick coffee/snack break in the downtown area!

    Couldn't get a seat at Bearcat Cafe? In a hurry and need a quick pick me up?? I recommend stopping in to Bearcat Baked! They are a small cafe offering the baked goodies from the restaurant, plus a little more if you need something a little heavier. They offer counter service. Place your order, get a number, and take a seat. The breakfast menu boasts sandwiches, burritos, and scrambles. They also offer a smaller lunch menu including wraps and sandwiches. The pastry menu is just amazing! And honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the offerings. I plan to make either the restaurant or the cafe part of my regular rotation when I'm in town.

    Strawberry Iced Matcha Latte with oat-milk. Such a well prepared drink. If you love matcha, you will love this one!

    I had the opportunity of eating at Bearcat Baked and I love it! Such a great gem, especially when I am at work. I get fresh air and walk up a block. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is just how I like it. The team is also very sweet. Try it out if you're ever in the area!

    Excellent croissant breakfast sandwich. That's exactly how the scrambled eggs should be prepared…read morewith the proper flavor and texture! The almond croissant was even better. Delicious and beautiful latte. The price is right. Great service too. There is plenty of seating in the light-filled space. I did not venture to the patio out back, but there is seating there too.

    Croissant D'Or Patisserie is located in the former home of Angelo Brocato's ice cream parlor…read more Angelo Brocato moved to a new location but its name is still in the tile on the floor at the entrance. This French bakery offers authentic pastries, hand-made croissants, brunch fare, & espresso drinks. The high-ceilings, white tile, and marble tabletops emit a European café vibe. There is also a charming courtyard if you want to soak in some sunshine. I first learned about this bakery when staying at the Hotel Villa Convento across the street. They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines. When I have guests, I bring them back a Ham & Cheese Croissant - a bargain at $5.50. They always ask me to bring another the next day.
