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!

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 textureChocolate tahini babka knotLondon 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 flakyChocolate 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!

Levee Baking Co. is a gem for artisanal baked goods that can be found just off of Magazine Street. Their offerings range from buttery croissants and classic baguettes to creative items like the mushroom tart and grilled onion focaccia. Everything is handmade, flaky, and packed with flavor. While the location is slightly hidden, it's well worth seeking out for the quality of the baked goods.Arriving early is key if you're hoping to snag popular items like their egg sandwiches, which often sell out quickly. The line was already long when I arrived early on a Saturday morning. On my visit, I had the Prosciutto N Swiss Twist sandwich on a fresh baguette, which was absolutely delicious. Whether you're grabbing a pastry or something more savory, this is a standout spot for bread and pastry lovers in New Orleans.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
