Omg!! First time here and this spot makes ahhhmazing everything bagels. It's a small intimate place with lots of sweet treats and fresh baked treats. I called one day to inquire if there were anymore everything bagels and there was only one, I needed 6 and more wouldn't be made until Saturday, (2 days later), so I decided to wait. Within a matter of minutes, I got a call back from Dale letting me know that he could make me 6 for the next day. I was elated and said I'll be there to pick them up. Upon picking up the bagels, Dale was so friendly and welcoming and the bagels were exuding with garlic (my favorite). They were soft, super fresh and absolutely delish!! The store also had other baked goods like chunky chocolate chip cookies, brownies, cakes and a cool dessert....gelato. I have never had gelato before but I will definitely return to give it a try. There were a variety of options and the Yelp reviews speaks highly of them. I'll be a returning customer for sure!! read more

I was heading back from work yesterday and decided to take a different route. In Hanrahan, I happened to look to the right and saw a sign for gelato with a glowing neon sign indicating it was open. I did a quick u-turn and drove to The Wandering Goat, because who doesn't love gelato and I was hungry. I entered in a small but friendly looking place, that smelled delicious. There are a few tables and games filling the nearby shelves. A friendly place that is destined to be a staple in the neighborhood. The owner Dale makes everything from scratch and it's obvious from first bite that he knows what he is doing. Small menu, good food, great service! I had The Goat sandwich and Turtle cookie. The focaccia bread is fresh, soft and delectable. Sandwich was toasted and I watched fresh ingredients used. Worth it! Dale said I would fall in love with the turtle and he was right! I'll be back, Dale, for another one! It's easy to miss the place because the sign for the pizza place is prominent, but I encourage you to seek this place out. It is well worth the visit. read more

Came in one random weekday and was so glad we stopped by. It's a cute little cafe serving fresh pastries everyday. We came in late afternoon and they were almost out of everything which is a good sign for me because that means they make everything fresh. I don't know if he was the owner but he was making fresh foccacia bread at the back. We also had their gelatos. The coffee gelato was really good with the toffee bits mixed in. Will definitely be back for more of their foccacia bread! It was so soft, fluffy and flavorful. read more

I hope this place lasts. The owner is so kind and thoughtful. He offered a sample of fresh Stracciatella gelato, it didn't have the chocolate and I fell in love with it. When I returned another weekend, I mentioned that I didn't realize it had chocolate in it and I'm not a chocolate lover. When ai returned again, he had placed a pint on the side without chocolate for me. That made my week! so amazing! Their muffaletta is amazing also! read more

The Wandering Goat - Stracciatella Gelato - Bakeries Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

This New Orleans gelato and bakery restaurant is noted for their cakes, breads, cookies and gelato and their other New Orleans dessert options. New Orleans has a lot of great food and Wandering Goat is one of the newer dessert restaurant options that could be easy to miss if you're not paying attention. The Wandering Goat is located in a small strip mall on Jefferson Highway in Harahan right next to the Happy Italian Pizzeria. Overall this a nice little spot to check out but make sure to check out their hours. My video review of The Wandering Goat is here: https://youtu.be/Hs1bk4R_66M read more

We came here about 1.5 years ago. It is a cute little bakery and the sweetest owner. He was very friendly but at the time, you could tell he was a little sad because they were about to close for good. I had ordered a few sweet items, I can't remember exactly, one was a cannoli, I think maybe a brownie, a cake pop, and a cookie? I remember loving the little goat they put in the bag. And to show how kind the owner was, he threw in a could of extra cannolis. I remember the cannolis were a little try and I just didn't love the flavor. I don't think they were fresh. I think the brownie was also a little dry. But I think it w a s just bad timing when I went. I would like to go back to try their non sweet items like their Breads and sandwiches. Overall the kindness of the owner did go a long way and I will eventually return. read more

Everything is Fresh and delicious and the Foccacia Bread is Excellent!! I shared with a friends and just the smell made them rush to get some. I just discovered this Gem and intend on being a frequent customer. read more

I've returned to this bakery two more times since my initial visit and it's been very consistent. The owner continues to be friendly. Even though there is a small selection of baked goods they are quite tasty. I've since had the orange cake which was good but the strawberry cake is still my favorite. I've had the chocolate chip cookies, the lemon cookies and the lemon cookies with blueberry icing. They are all very good. I've had about 4 different flavors of the gelato and they were all very tasty. I think this will be one of my go to bakeries moving forward. I look forward to trying some of the non-bakery food items. read more

The best thing about this place is how chill, how approachable and kind Dale is without being at all fake. And you can taste the love in the food. Simple and delicious. The bread is as good as any in New Orleans. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. I had the chicken salad sandwich, goat cheese and fig gelato, and brownie.

Just stopped by for some gelato with my pregnant wife and stumbled upon an absolute GEM. The owner Dale is very friendly and welcoming! The inside was clean and decorated with games to play all around. Dale makes everything from scratch which is a relief from all the processed foods mostly available in the US. He makes a variety of fresh non preservative breads and sandwiches so give this place a try!! SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES read more

Wow! I just discovered this great little place. I got the GOAT sandwich and it was delicious with bacon, turkey, tomato and other great things. I am a huge fan of their cold brew vietnamese coffee and fresh made lemonade. It was very busy when I was there. The owner was so nice. Also, the fresh bread he makes is awesome! Try it! read more

We stumbled across this hidden gem a few months ago, and finally decided to write a review even though I'm not a big Yelper. Everything there is amazing and the owners are so nice and helpful, and they are always wearing masks when we are there, so the previous reviews surprise me. We have tried several things there, and we have never bought anything we didn't love. All of the breads are delicious, but the rosemary Amish bread is probably my favorite. Their turtles are the best in the city (yes I said it!) and the king cake I bought tonight was really, really good. My only complaint is I have gone there a couple of times for a specific item and they were sold out, but they were super apologetic and explained it was a timing issue since they sold more than they expected. No biggie because I ended up buying something else. read more

After many years of saying I wanted to try this place, even though it's less than 5 minutes from my house, I finally made it. The owner was super helpful. We got the caramel gelato and butter pecan gelato mixed into a milkshake, a strawberry lemonade, and two gingerbread cookies. I couldn't figure out which item I wanted more. Great local place to get your sweet fix. We will definitely be back. read more

Visited this place for the first time, today. Absolutely, AMAZING! The Gelato & Turtle Cookies were very tasty & super fresh. I will definitely be back! read more

Kids loved it here had some gelato and a great time Well stop by again. They do have more to offer and trying next time ! read more

Love this place. Everything we've had has been amazing. I never knew how much I loved Focaccia bread- Dale makes the best. Cookies (especially the turtles and the lemon curd filled butter cookies) are great. The gelato is the best I've ever had outside of Italy. Great food, great people- how can you go wrong? read more

I tried their new breakfast burrito today and it was by far the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Full of eggs, two meats, potatoes and cheese. It was flavorful and filling. I also tried one of their choice bombs. If you love coffee, I highly recommend this treat!!! It made my morning coffee extra special!! Of course I can't seem to leave there without one of her brownies. These brownies are a chocolate lovers heaven! She puts chocolate chips and cheesecake in them! She had started doing soups and sandwiches, which I can't wait to try. read more

I have just bought the Sourdough bread. It is very low sugar. Delicious. The people are very friendly. Different pastries in the used to have gelato. All homemade. read more

I highly recommend checking out this awesome, locally owned bakery and gelato shop. The brownies, cookies gelato and chicken salad on fresh made bread were all amazing!! This place also has a unique vibe where you can sit and enjoy playing games with your friends and family. Great fun - check it out! read more

The desserts are awesome and the people are great! All homemade deliciousness. However, I thought it was strange none of the employees were wearing masks even when serving customers. Other customers were also not wearing masks and it's a very small space. I really want their business to do well as it is a great addition to the area. Hopefully they reconsider their safety protocols while we are living through a pandemic. read more

The owners flaunt their choice to be maskless. I was so excited to try this place that I didn't realize he wasn't wearing one until I saw spittle fly into my food. If they disobey one health mandate, I don't trust them with my food. And when I spoke up, the response was "sorry to lose you as a customer". Businesses that don't mask up are increasing the spread and harming all businesses and their community. Don't support them. read more

The Wandering Goat offers delicious items made from scratch. Their weekly sandwich specials, the unique turtles and the grazing goat boxes (charcuterie) are a few of my favorites. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. read more
