The baked goods all looked so delicious but we only tried several, the bear claw, mixed-berry danish and the blueberry muffin. Very yummy . The brunch options were wonderful as well. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious making us question our decisions, but at the end everyone was happy with their choice. Be aware that Sundays are quite busy so plan accordingly. read more

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 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. read more

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. read more

Everything's good! Food...Service and Ambiance. My only only complaint is , if you are elderly and a little hard of hearing, you might have a problem hearing your friend across the table. Other than that, it's a lovely place and I love going there or just picking up to take home. Thanks for being here! read more

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!! read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I'm sad my favorite spot in Lake Charles isn't open on Mondays, so we had to run in Sunday during their busy hours just to grab some pastries. It was definitely worth it as usual, but I wish we could've found an open table in their stunning dining room, under one of the glowing crystal chandeliers to have lunch. Especially seeing the menu had changed since the last time I was there several years ago. The only criticism I have is that we have nothing in comparison like this in Baton Rouge and I'm jealous of anyone that gets to frequent this gem more than once every 5 years. I adore you Bek. Make a Bekery baby location in Baton Rouge if you're ever up to it. Love, your biggest fan. read more

This was a nice surprise during my weekend trip to LC. I was able to get a spot pretty close on the street. We did have to wait in a line which didnt end up being too long...and then we were able to get a table indoors. I tried the cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant, and a rum cake latte, a seasonal item. Everything was really delicious, although the rum cake latte did not have much of a rum flavor. The ambiance reminded me a little of Common Bond in Houston. read more

All of their quiches are delicious! Highly recommend the harvest with sweet potato. Their unsweetened match was nice and light too.

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Always delicious , fresh and friendly service. Haven't had anything that wasn't fantastic.

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 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

I've been coming to lake Charles for 1.5 years and been stuck eating steamboat and Nina ps (not that those are a problem) but I wanted to try something new. I'm glad I saved it. I had the breakfast club with a Caesar salad. The sandwich was great. Had it on a croissant. The croissant was super flakey! Had an it with an over medium egg. The Caesar salad could've been better. It was sorta warm. Needed a little salt. Had a mimosa and lemonade. Bomb. Also had a chocolate croissant and it was delightful. The service was good! And the ambiance was so chic and fancy. Will add it to my list. 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

Great spot for freshly prepared pastries and breakfast items. I went daily when visiting in Lake Charles because the food was super good. The only criticism I had was the coffee was always at a Luke warm temperature which was not palatable to me. Hopefully, they will adjust this issue. Would definitely be a 5 star rating if corrected. Also, forgot to mention the service was great. Will go back when in town. 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

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

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

Good pastries - bad coffee! We stopped by at 2:30pm for an afternoon break and ordered two coffees and two pastries. The service was friendly, the outdoor patio was inviting with a water feature and shaded tables. The pastries came out first and were quite tasty. HOWEVER - when the coffees came out, they were barely lukewarm. Some may not prefer scalding hot coffee, but one would at least expect the liquid to be hot when served. It woud surely cool over time for those who prefer it that way. BUT - it was lukewarm from the first sip. I took the cups back and politely asked if they could warm them or replace them with some more freshly brewed. The young lady responded that she would try. When our cups were brought back to our table, the coffee was STILL ONLY LUKEWARM. I may sound unreasonably whiny, but one would expect the main event at a coffee shop would be the coffee. Sadly, this was not the case. if you're wanting something yummy and sweet and prefer something other than hot coffee, this is the place for you. read more
