Standout baguettes! As good as I've had anywhere, including France. Soft interior and crunchy outside. Fantastic! Cozy breakfast spot with a few seats. I perceive this is a neighborhood favorite. This is the go to favorite for L'Union Française where I study French. Can't recommend this place high enough! read more

Delicious baked goods! Highly recommend the potato and dill garlic croissant and breakfast biscuit. So good. The sweet strawberry and cream cheese danish for some reason didn't have much cream cheese in our experience. Very friendly service and bright and cute environment. Would recommend! read more

Pretty good. But in a city where the bar is high this one falls to the background for me.

From the knowledge staff guiding you through the most decadent selections of baked goods to the unassuming and always welcoming interior Levee is a destination for all things good. Had the flakiest almond and lemon cheese danish today and left with a longing for the left behind chocolate and tahini babka knot! I will be back for you soon!!! I always enjoy whatever I have at Levee and I always leave with thoughts of what to try next read more

Levee Baking is amazing! The pace is larger than I expected--it has plenty of seats indoors and a few chairs and tables outdoors. The staff was friendly and helpful. The place was not crowded when I arrived around 11 am on a weekend. I ordered as soon as I walked in the door. I had Breakfast Sammy on a croissant with baked egg and cheddar and got a piece of my friend's London fog glazed twist. Both were delicious. Overall, it was a good experience at Levee. However, they have limited items each day. I wanted to order a brownie, but it was sold out already. I will come by and try more items on their menu! read more

Love their pastries focusing on flavor vs being overly sweet- excellent flavors! Good people and nice neighborhood vibes

I'm so glad I don't live closer because I would be here every day and eat my weight in their pastries. Amazing bakery with so many delicious looking and sounding pastries. You can watch them make their next day's items while you hang out there! Everything was excellent and even their coffee was good! Employees were super friendly and nice. This is also a great place to work for a couple of hours enjoying the buzz of the guests and tasty treats. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to go here when visiting NOLA! Sausage roll: 11/10 love the seasoning on top of the pastry, great crispy outside, and good ratio/amount of sausage in the roll (they sell out fast!) Savory scone: 10/10 really large!! Really tasty! I think it was some sort of mix of squash, onion, cheese, etc. excellent texture Chocolate tahini babka knot London Fog glazed twist: 10/10 yes and yes, I would like more of these! Such good and subtle flavors and not too much glaze. Yummmmmm! Potato, feta, dill croissant: 9/10 good flavor! Wish there was more potato on/it stayed on better, but the pastry was perfectly flaky Chocolate tahini babka knot: 9/10 more tahini flavor, please! But this was a great texture Boudin bun: 9/10 saw them making this the day before and came back for it! Really tasty savory filling in a perfectly baked brioche. Just with there was more filling! read more

Excellent bakery. I stopped in the bakery on a Sunday morning. The café is informal with wooden tables and chairs, and the line of the counter moved swiftly with friendly, happy staff. I had a delicious chocolate Babka with crisp outside and an interesting sesame flavor. Delicious! I also had a very nice coffee flavored twist. This is a wonderful place. read more

A spot for a croissant & nothing more. Ordered a cold brew for myself and an iced coffee for my partner. Asked upon getting them from the bar which is which. We were told "cold brew and iced coffee are the same thing." Very much wrong, tasted terrible. Baking is on point however. read more

I got the croissant with ricotta roasted king trumpet mushrooms, garlic butter, and dill; apple danish, and seasonal squash and goat cheese croissant. Everything was 10/10. Levee is arguably one of the best bakeries in the city. Friendly and hard working team who make the bakery run very efficiently. Also, a nice open layout and clean space. read more

The Levee Baking Company, on Magazine Street. Well, a year has passed, and the offerings at the Levee Bakery are as delicious and as sweet / savory as I remembered. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and need to be, because the huge variety of baked goodies are wonderfully overwhelming. I settled on a Mustard, Cheddar and Onion Croissant ($5) and a Morning Bun with Cream Cheese ($5.50). The dining room, adjacent to the kitchen, is cozy and very busy. You can expect me to return tomorrow. Five Stars. read more

My absolute favorite bakery! I literally wish they had longer hours so I could visit more frequently. All the staff is super warm and welcoming. I would recommend getting there early to catch their day old $1 pastries and $4 baguettes. My favorite cake so far is the carrot cake, it's moist but still has a thick consistency and the icing is to die for! All of the cookies and clusters I've also tried have been excellent. read more

The bakery has a wide array of items for those with a savory and sweet tooth. There are pastries (cruffins, danish, etc.), cake slices, and breads. You can find the usual crowd pleasers and some unique items. It's good to come early on weekends, before the most popular items sell out. The pastries are the all-stars. My favorite is the sausage roll - the filling wrapped in buttery, flaky pastry. read more

Can't say enough good things about Levee! The baked goods are incredible. My go to is their cruffins--flavors vary with the season. The menu is constantly changing so check out their Instagram to see what they have that day! Tip--the best items run out quickly so get there early. read more

Does anything smell better than a bakery? I don't think so. This is a lovely space that is welcoming and warm (figuratively not literally). There is some seating to enjoy your beverage and bun while dining in. They have a wide assortment of items but on my last visit I needed baguettes for a party that night (and they were still warm when I brought them home). And, of course, I indulged in a couple of pastries. OMG the strawberry cruffin? GENIUS. Parking is on the street. Friendly staff; good prices and delicious baked goods. read more

I saw Levee bakery co. on a blog and I stalked their IG and Facebook paged. Trying to figure out a day to come here. Finally had an off day and stopped by. Love Love! Workers were so friendly and the place is bright and welcoming. The pastries look amazing!!! I wanted one of everything but I held back. I got the almond chocolate croissant and saved that to bring home for my girls. The coppa croissant I'm saving for lunch. I mainly came for the shishito pepper croissant because ya know, I LOVE anything that has peppers. Shishito peppers are not spicy but it gives that light pepper taste, combining it with the cream cheese and flaky croissant, absolutely yumm. Wash it down with strong drip coffee, my morning is happy. Amazing bakery for sure. read more

Went for late breakfast. They were out of breakfast sandwiches by that point -- no problem... I don't expect unlimited quantities at a small bakery. Instead we chose a coffee swirl Danish, a sausage roll, a buttermilk biscuit, an apple handpie, and coffee. Staff were friendly and very helpful... truly nice folks. Food was a very mixed bag. Coffee swirl was... okay. A solid 5 or 6 out of 10. Handpie was tasty and flaky. No notes. Biscuit was served at room temp, no butter or jam, and was heavy, crumbly and dry... basically a very dull scone that pretended to be a biscuit. 90% of it went in the trash bin. Sausage roll was generous. Too generous by half, honestly. So overstuffed with filling that hadn't been de-fatted before baking that once you got beyond the top layer of flake, the rest of even the top of the pastry was soggy and soaked in grease. The bottom: inedibly greasy. Half of that went in the trash, too. Coffee: let's just say "don't." Either a really unpleasant blend of beans, or --more likely-- overheated and made quite bitter. Maybe we just made unfortunate choices, given the generally positive reviews, but we weren't impressed. read more

Super tasty and cute bakery! Very happy to have had a chance to try this place while in town. Came in just before they sold out, so I couldn't try many things, but just says how popular this place is. Quick and friendly service, with indoor and outdoor seating. I got to try the babka roll and it was pretty good! flavorful, excellent texture, but a little dry. unsure if that's because I came at the end of the day, but it was still delicious. A great spot to check pastries out, but they do sell out! read more

Went in to try some of the seasonal options. It's time for peach flavored everything! The service was phenomenal today really great people working and they moved like a true team. We ordered morning buns, peach danishes and biscuits. Biting into that peach morning bun was like eating a slice of heaven. I mean the pastry was baked to perfection, the cream filling was like biting into a mixture of peaches and cream. It was baked and made so very well. The danish was equally amazing and delicious. The biscuits were flaky and buttery probably one of the best biscuits I've ever eaten. I'm so glad I came back because the flavors and service were all hands down phenomenal. I wish they were open 7 days a week. read more

One of the best bakeries I went to during my visit to New Orleans. Although the croissants and viennoiserie aren't as good as what I've had in major metro areas, the breads and savory items were probably my favorite. read more

Phenomenal phenomenal establishment- I wish they were open for longer/more days but they truly deliver on divine, scrumptious pastries. I honestly just want to gatekeep them since they have such tasty treats at incredibly reasonable prices. They're probably one of my favorite small batch bakeries that I've ever come across with great value and ambiance, and I make an effort to explore those at all urban cities I visit. It's always such a delight to come across a kouign amann and theirs is certainly a respectable one. Great flakiness on their pastries and a nice place to work from on a chiller weekday. On weekends they're quite busy so get there early for decent selection or hope that the weather looks rainy/dismal for a selection to be left by the time you get there! Truly always a treat that I simply cannot pass up read more

Walking into this bakery made me happy. The smell, ambiance, kind service, and delicious pastries were all a wonderful Saturday morning experience! I came here last Sunday at opening but they were already super packed. It was raining this morning so I gambled that they wouldn't be packed and won. It definitely filled up quick though. I got the kouign amann, which is one of my favorites, was perfectly soft on the inside and crunchy crystallized sugar on the outside. I got the coffee twist which was actually my favorite because it was dense and had a sweet coffee icing. The cruffin with strawberry cream cheese was also a delicious combination of soft flaky croissant, cinnamon sugar encrusted, and whipped not overly sweet cream filling. The drip coffee was also very good but you have to drink slow or else you'll run out. I enjoyed the whole experience and will be back for the olive focaccia! All made in house!! read more

Compared to other local bakeries, it's a small selection, but what they had was really nice and the space in which to eat is a cavernous brick room that feels like history. They also have vegan options. The sandwich I sampled was not that, having goat cheese along with sweet potato and kale. I am not one of those people who adopted kale as a fad, but when it's cooked right it can be good, and in this case the texture of it was perfect, and the flavors balanced nicely, and the foccacia in which it was encased was fantastic. A vegan chocolate cookie based on olive oil was likewise entirely satisfying. Pretty much anything they had on display I would have ordered happily I think. read more

I got a variety of pastries and a piece of cake. They were all impeccable- creative balanced flavor, construction, texture. They didn't have decaf, and they only had drip coffee, which i'd be fine with except that it was quite bitter. I would definitely go back for the pastries. read more

This is my FAVORITE queen cake! What I enjoyed about each bite is the buttery flakey experience until the last crumb. This was a mini pecan, blood marmalade & chocolate chip queen cake this is the perfect size for one person. If two people share the mini you will be disappointed because you will want more because it just won't be enough. This has been added to my king/queen cake rotation for sure. read more

10/5 stars, best bakery in NOLA if not the southern half of the US. This is a beautiful, welcoming space that you want to work from or sit and enjoy your goodies at all day long. The staff is friendly (not to mention extremely talented) and the coffee and pastries are to die for. The knowledge, experience, and technical precision required to produce such incredibly flavorful and delicate baked goods is mindblowing. Just looking at the lamination on the puff pastries brings a tear to the eye, and somehow, they taste even better than they look. Not a detail is missed here, and your only struggle will be deciding which ones to try. I can't wait to come back, and I hope that Levee has found its home here in NOLA for a long time to come. read more
