We waited about 30 minutes, and it was well worth it! Definitely recommend getting there early since their specialty pastries sell out quickly. I was able to snag a ham and cheese pastry which was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. The space itself is beautiful...very cottage-inspired with plenty of seating both inside and outside. It's tucked away in a peaceful, secluded area that adds to the charm. Beyond pastries, they also have great drinks and a full breakfast menu. Service was fast and efficient despite how busy it was.
Truly a hidden gem! Food and pastries are amazing. You truly feel like you are in France when you are at The Bekery. Such a special place!
Hoooooleeeeeee mooollleeeeee!!! This place is sure to leave a lasting impression and 100% you will return over and over again!! This place is stunning on the inside and also offers outdoor seating. The line was out the door when we got there and for good reason. This was one of the best meals we have had in a while. We started with the bacon & Gruyère quiche which was absolutely delicious and so tasty. I would order this again. The cinnamon roll was (I'm not kidding when I say this) THE BEST CINNAMON ROLL I have ever eaten!! For entrees we order the Souther Smother. So so so good!! The biscuit is fluffy and the gravy is out of this world. We also had the grits & grillades. OMG the meat is so tender, juicy, and packed full of flavor. It país so well with the grits, potatoes, and eggs. We also ordered one of every pastry they had to go!! 10/10 I hope we come back to Lake Charles soon just to eat here again. Trust me just go.
The last time I reviewed The Bekery was 8 years ago and WOW has it changed in those 8 years - all for the better. Loved it then and still love it now. Anytime I'm in the LC area I try and visit. This was the first time I've tried the new location and it's beautiful inside. This visit we tried the Quiche Lorraine, sausage quiche, strawberry cream cheese danish and cinnamon roll bread pudding. All amazing and worth every penny. Next time I'll get a regular latte because the snickerdoodle was quite sweet and that's a personal preference, but it was still good. We'll be back next time we're in town!!
What a delight! Came to lake Charles for a girls weekend and had to try the highly rated bakery near the lake and resorts. About a 10 min drive. Once I pulled up I was already enamored. It looked right out of France. The decor was so beautiful. Such a quaint place and I loved the outdoor seating. One area outside had a fireplace in the courtyard. The food line up was unique and mouth watering. I had a hard time choosing. I went in the evening before closing so there was no line. I ordered the cinnamon roll and it's the best I've ever had. I like mine soft and this was exactly that! The perfect ratio of icing and bread. The next day I came for brunch with my friend. I decided to splurge and try a few more items . I tried the quiche, bread pudding and pistachio pastry. All were very good. Quiche was ok. Bread pudding was delish. The pistachio pastry with raspberry was the best!!!!!! Buttery and flaky. They have a rewards system which is nice. The gal the first night didn't offer it to me so unfortunately my cinnamon roll points didn't go to my account. But the next morning, the cashier mentioned it to my friend which I overheard and I signed up. I know it's gets busy here but it would be nice if they were consistent in offering this or asking if each customer has a rewards account. I look forward to visiting again!!! And if anyone is in the lake Charles area, you must try this bakery out!!
Still love The Bekery! Every time I am in town we go at least once, I mean, it's beautiful and always with the delectable treats! On our second visit this trip I met a couple of friends and we were enjoying ourselves (hint: get there early if you're visiting on a Saturday in particular) We each have our favorites but never can resist trying something new too lol This time I ordered the chicken salad croissant and splurged on a lemon scone. The sandwich was huge! I kid you not, as it is served on their amazing croissants it has to be good but, they bake up so beautifully and with the healthy portion of chicken salad the sandwich stood about 7" tall! Beautiful presentation and delicious! Since my sandwich was so generous, I was only able to eat half of it, and as we sat awhile visiting, I decided to nip into the scone it wasn't exactly what I expected, the lemon was missing entirely lol But just then someone came by to check on us and at the very mention she immediately & cheerfully remedied the situation and swapped it for the cinnamon chip scone which was devine! All to say that not only is the atmosphere and cuisine wonderful but the service and hospitality is fantastic!
Food was amazing!! The butter croissant was huge and super flakey. The Harvest Quiche (Butternut squash, kale, ricotta, gruyere) was a delicious combination. The avocado toast was a different level!! Service was great. Decor was very nice. Patio looked nice, but it was raining.
What a beautiful restaurant in Lake Charles. Very large seating area and lots of options to pick from. They also have rotating and seasonal specials. The quality of the food was amazing. However, the service was lackluster, my salmon toast came around 30 minutes after ordering. There wasn't clear communication if utensils were supposed to be delivered to the table. Other than that, I would definitely come back for the food!
Lovely place! It's a very cute bakery/boulangerie. We had the muffalotta sandwich and avocado toast. The avocado toast one of the best I've ever eaten with microgreens. The baked items were also scrumptious! Another place to which we will return.
This was our first visit and my tip is wherever you are in the line, grab a menu--don't try to make a decision when you are at the register because you will incur the wrath of the people waiting in line behind you! Everything is beautiful and delicious. There are plenty of seats inside and outside of the Bekery and most tables seat 2-4 people. Now enjoy!
My wife did a search on our computer and ℹ searched on my phone and we both found this gem and agreed this is where to get Brunch today. They did not let us down. This is the best place around the Lake Charles. LA area. We shared the All American Omelette got two sweet items the Pistachio NY Roll and their Bread Pudding. Our drinks were great too. They have plenty of seating

OMGGGG!!! I absolutely loved this place! This is my go-to spot every time we visit Lake Charles. It has everything you could ask for--delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful, aesthetic café vibe. The place is always packed, which says a lot about the quality of both the food and the experience. Every visit has been consistently amazing. They also have a rewards program where you can earn and redeem points, which is a nice bonus. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Lake Charles! read more

We went to the Bekery in Lake Charles and it was amazing! The lines were long, but it was definitely worth the wait. Somehow we still managed to find a place to sit pretty easily, which felt like a miracle with how busy it was. The food was great and everything tasted fresh and well made. The only small downside was the lemonade--it tasted either unsweetened or a bit watered down. Aside from that, it was a really good experience overall and we'd absolutely come back! read more

First time here at the Bekery and this place is 5 starts all the way. The food and the service is exceptional. Wife had the avocado toast with extra eggs and talk about being elevated. The roaster tomatoes puree was an excellent choice to go along with the main dish. Me I'm simple so I tried the make it your way breakfast sandwich and it was nothing simple about it. Top notch ingredients. When in town this will always be our to go place for breakfast or lunch. They close at 4pm during the week and 2:30 on the weekends. read more

This was my first time going and I would have liked knowing how everything worked. 1. You get in line... because there will be a line and if there is no space for you to wait in the line inside you will be waiting outside in line. 2. I would go to their Facebook and look at the menu before hand so you can have someone what of an idea as to what pastries or food you would want to order. If you don't want to as you get a little closer to ordering they do have some menus out for you to look at. 3. You start by ordering what pastry you want if you want one. 4. Then you move to the cash register where you order your hot food and coffees. 5. If you're in a large party I would recommend getting someone to go sit at the table while you wait in line. I went around 10 on a Sat and the place was packed. I went to sit at a table for 2 while the person I went with stayed in line to order for the both of us. Now for the food. The Ham & Cheese special was so great a tasty. I honestly think two people could have share one of them and be left feeling full. The Latte was good... standard latte. Now the cinnamon roll bread pudding was a 20/10. When we go to any restaurant and they have bread pudding as a dessert we order it every time. This one has surpassed all other places. I wish they would have a Bekery in Texas so I could have it more frequently. The location of the restaurant is super cute and the interior is so pretty . It's exactly what you would expect a little bakery to be. Service was wonderful. read more

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!!! Ok now that I got that out the way.. this is the cutest paris inspired brunch place! How it works is you walk in and grab a menu and wait in line to order. After that you have to find your own table. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The line can look very intimidating, but it seems to go fast. If you are taking to go orders, you have to wait in the same line. Now for the food: They can make any coffee decaf!!The iced banana latte was so good and the regular caramel cappuccino was good as well, just not very sweet. They have so many baked goods, I got the blueberry biscuit 5/5, very mild blueberry flavor. Nothing here is sickly sweet, which I like. For entrees: We got the all american omelette and the southern smother. Both were SO GOOD! Great portion sizes. French toast was also so yummy. Prices weren't too bad, about $50 for everything. Everything we tried we loved, so I think you can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu! read more

We went for my birthday this morning! We have eaten a The Bekery several times and I decided we would go here today. I had the avocado toast topped with eggs and a mocha latte. My wife had the salmon toast with a caramel cappuccino. Both were delicious and the serving size was perfect. They always bring a carafe of water to the table with our order. The flavors on both dishes were amazing. We researched the flavors we could taste and found that we could use some of them in our home dishes. Pricing I thought was a little higher but was well worth the cost for the flavor and presentation of the meal. read more

I dropped in looking for a cup of coffee and a place to work and was stunned by the decor at The Bekery. Is this really Lake Charles? I tried the harvest quiche and it was outstanding. There were so many quiche options and the counter featured real viennoiserie. If you're from the area and want a Paris-style café experience that rivals anything in New Orleans, try The Bekery. read more

Such a beautiful place! We loved the food & drinks we ordered. The prices seemed fair for the quality. Our lattes were way better than we'd have gotten at a chain drive-through, and they were around the same price! Can't wait to go back next time I'm passing through this area. read more
The Bekery is an absolutely lovely hidden gem. If you love buttery flaky pastries, handcrafted coffee, and classy ambiance, you're going to be in heaven. The staff was so friendly and could tell it was our first time. They didn't hesitate to give us recommendations up and down their menu. Huge selection of fresh baked goods and a full menu as well. This place will live in my head rent-free forever. Might have taken pictures for design inspo in my house. read more

Is there a time frame that you guys found when it was "less busy"? It's a nightmare to find a table, especially when everyone puts their personal belongings down to hold a spot.
