    Great location that is quick and convenient. I stopped in to grab a coffee and there was no wait to order or be served. The place was busy with plenty of seating available and seems like a nice atmosphere to hang out. I was impressed with all the pastries and treats available for purchase.

    Great beignets and pork BBQ biscuit high recommend. Staff was great and scene was nice and calm.

    Fantastic gumbo soup. Flavorful and chicken was tender! Beignets were tough/doughy so they disappointed. My husband liked his Mr. T sandwich- a little pricy for the size but it was good. My sister didn't love the veggies on her veggie sandwich. Lastly, it was a holiday today so they closed early and we were not aware, but they blasted Closing Time on the stereo which I just thought was lacking tact.

    We came here for lunch after a court hearing as the courthouse is just down the road making this a very convenient location. We were a party of four and when we arrived it was not busy but business picked up during our meal. THE DEAL: 100% self service. You order at the one counter , pick up from another counter and you seat yourself. SERVICE: The staff were so-so meaning not rude but definitely not friendly either. We felt like we were bothering them so not very inviting. FOOD & DRINK: We only tried two sandwiches as two of us got BLTs and two of us got Muffulettas. The BLT was meh with way over cooked bacon but the Muffuletta was good. Specialty coffees were weak. AMBIANCE: Great homage to New Orleans (Nawh'lins) and the Bayou and there is lots of awesome attention to detail. Be careful in the main dining area because there is a side door and they were receiving deliveries in the freezing cold winter temps the entire time we were there and that side door opens directly to the dining area making it was ridiculously and uncomfortably cold! Again, the staff couldn't be bothered. Not the worst I've ever had, but definitely nothing to make me wanna go back. C'est la vie!

    Muff-a-lotta sandwich

    Sandwich was yummy! A little too salty, but then again, it's a deli meat sandwich. A little pricey for its size IMO (6-7" diameter). Good amount of seating. Would go for the food rather than the vibe. Service is mainly only at ordering (which was nice), otherwise it's self serve.

    My colleague asked me what I got and when I told her I got the Muffalotta, she said, "I make the mistake of going there and getting that like once a year and it's never what I hope for." Perfectly describes it. It was dry and overly salty. Tons of meat, sure, but not tasty and the meat wasn't flavorful cold cuts... just salty. The olive spread/chopped olives were okay. There was very minimal cheese. Good portion size but meh. I also ordered the everything croissant... and like... it was okay but I think it came in at like $7-8. I wouldn't get it again. In all, this place is okay. I wanted to try the Arm Drip but they didn't have it that day.

    Beignets: two out of three on this plate, and for $5, this treat is worth the money.

    I love the beignets here, and they are usually the only food item I would get. However, for today's eating pleasure, I also got a biscuit with an egg added. You can't go wrong getting the beignets, bringing them home, and drink your own coffee while eating them. They are chewy, perfectly sweet with powdered sugar, and if you don't watch out, the powdered sugar can get all over your face. They are a great treat once in a while when I visit DC. The biscuit and egg was good. I think I could just order the biscuit by itself and have some strawberry jelly on the side with some butter. Service for today was good. No one was in line before or after me, so I was able to ask the young man behind the counter a question. The ambiance was quiet this morning. Probably because it's the day before Christmas, and everyone is where they are supposed to be. I enjoy returning here when I am in town. With the taste of their biscuit, this will be an added item for me to order.

    I've been wanting to stop by this place for years, and I finally did for restaurant week. I got the extended lunch special, which is 1/2 of a muff-a-lotta, a cup of gumbo, 3 beignets, and a sweet tea, all for $18.50! What a deal! Stepping inside made me feel like I was in The Big Easy again. There are lots of New Orleans decorations, and since it's almost Halloween they had a lot of spooky decor up too! For me, the best part of my lunch was the beignets! So warm and fluffy!

    The beignets were very fresh. I would recommend those. The Mr. T sandwich had a good sauce but it wasn't anything crazy. My friend got a grilled pimento cheese and it was cold. It's a pretty casual spot.

    It is always fantastic to come by Bayou for breakfast. It's always crowded on the weekend so you might have to wait for a table, but it's definitely worth it! They have all your standard coffee options, but their food is consistently very good. I got their strawberry loaf, which had a very nice texture and a cute pink strawberry icing on top. The must have are always the beignets, but their tuna salad sandwich is also very good if you're looking for something low-key. This is a place I return to again and again!

    Very vibrant sit down cafe with Nola fare. Gumbo was pretty salty, but the gumbo I've had in New Orleans were also very salty so maybe that's how it's supposed to be? Portion size was not too big, so it allowed us to try other things. They sold out of the smoked douille dog and we went with the muff-a-lotta samdwhoch instead who h was pretty good. But def get the beignets. 3 big ones for $5 is a deal and they were well made and fluffy. Not sure if I'd come back again for food but def for coffee and beignets. We came on the coldest day of winter this year and it was still packed, so pretty sure I'd breve worse on better days!

    Very comfy bakery. I absolutely love New Orleans vibes. Can't get enough of them. The beignets were delicious the tea options were solid. The staff was friendly and provided recs which were helpful. Happy I was able to stop in again and thankful I remembered this place. They have plenty of seating and it's a cozy vibe.

    Beignets (3 for $5, one had already been eaten)
    Sweet T.

    Bayou Bakery is a bustling but friendly environment. The service was quick for how busy it was on a Saturday. The pastries in the displays looked delectable, and they were ginormous! I ordered the beignets and they were fluffy, covered with powdered sugar, and most importantly, delicious! I definitely would go back and try their other pastries, such as the strawberry lemon scones or the large croissants!

The carrot cake was a standout. The slice was huge, moist, and not overly sweet or heavy on the coconut. There were bits of toffee (I think!) around the outer frosting that added a delicious little crunch. The croissant itself was flaky and delicious, but the ham and cheese filling was pretty minimal. Good thing I wasn't too hungry! If you're looking for something more substantial, the lunch sandwiches they were putting out looked like they would do the trick. The interior is bright and spacious, with a high bar along the wall, several chairs, a high-top table, and smaller tables throughout. There's also a patio for nice-weather days. One thing to watch out for: some of the tables wobble. I discovered this the hard way when I accidentally spilled my wife's coffee just trying to sit down. Apparently, the table wanted to participate in breakfast too. The staff was friendly, and with so many options to choose from, there's definitely something for everyone. I'd happily come back to try more of their pastries and sandwiches. A great first visit with plenty of tasty options, though I'd like to see a little more ham and cheese in that croissant!
