Bayou Bakery

New Orleans-born TV personality and chef, David Guas, is widely familiar from his frequent appearances on "The Today Show," “The Talk,” “Food Network,”
“CBS This Morning: The Dish,” and his role as host and co-judge of Travel Channel’s summer competition series, "American Grilled."

The casual, counter-service community gathering spot, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery, made its debut in November 2010. As the name says, this is an establishment with southern hospitality – and plenty of sugar – in its soul. Guas produces alongside his talented krewe a balanced menu of delectable southern sweets and a selection of savory casual eats. Winner of the 2019 Arlington Best Business Award for Retail Small Business of the Year, Bayou Bakery and Guas have garnered national praise in publications like Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, Saveur, Southern Living, The Local Palate, Bon Appétit, Garden & Gun, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Every day, it’s all about sharing the culture and community of Southern foodways.

With a focus steeped in the heritage and rich culinary culture of New Orleans and the South, menu choices include Buttermilk Biscuits with house-made Pepper Jelly, Pimiento Cheese and Triscuits, Roast Beef Arm Drip Sandwich, Muff-a-Lotta, Red Beans and Rice, Gumbo, Jambalaya and confections like traditional Beignets, Southern Layer Cakes, King Cakes, Pies, Pralines, and his signature PorKorn - Salted Caramel Popcorn tossed with Allan Benton’s Bacon. A rotation of daily baked goods includes seasonal Scones, Muffins, Croissants, and Breads - all displayed in the glass pastry case. Refrigerated provisions of ready-to-go items are Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Red Bean Spread, Deviled Eggs, Pimiento Cheese by the pint, and more! Signature libations include Frozen Cocktails such as The Hurricane and the Meaux Mudslide, boozy brunch sips like the Bayou Bloody Mary and Brandy Milk Punch, Abita Beer, and Wine. Caffeine connoisseurs get in line for artfully poured java with the highest quality organic beans from Counter Culture Coffee.

Located on the corner of N. Courthouse Road and 15th Street, a lively spot where each Saturday the Farmer’s Market emerges in the morning hours, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery exudes casual charm and vintage Southern character. Wide-plank wood and weathered looking concrete covers the counters; warmed cement flooring and booths, banquettes, and bar-like seating accented with fashionable patterns and a deep southern palette of pastel blue, tropical lush green, mossy gray, cypress brown, and banana-cream yellow anchor the interior. The bustling sounds of the kitchen – shielded by re-claimed shutters – are a source of entertainment filtering through to the dining area. Historic maps of Louisiana grace the walls and original drawings on distressed panes in the lower windows catch the sunlight playfully.
