Menu                                     Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery is the first DC establishment to offer authentic delectable southern sweets with a selection of savory casual eats. Choose from a variety of original pressed-to-order hot sandwiches on New Orleans-style French Bread: Veg Head - grilled portobello, asparagus, red onions, and smoked gouda; Creole Pilgrim—blackened turkey; and Muff-a-lotta—ham, salami, provolone, and olive dressing. Guas’ Louisiana country cooking shines through in Boudin and Andouille sausages, savory Breakfast Biscuits, Pimento Cheese, and Chew Dat nightly dinner specials. And that’s not all—Beignets and Chicory-Coffee Pralines, layered cakes, pies, puddings, Heavenly Hash.

Venue                                    Located on the corner of North 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 is a “funkified” yet traditional coffee house and retail bakery, full of casual charm and vintage Southern character. Wide-plank wood and weathered looking concrete cover the counters; warmed cement flooring and booths, banquettes, and bar-like seating accented with fashionable patterns and a deep southern palette of tropical lush greens, mossy gray, cypress brown, and sun-flower yellow anchor the interior. Bustling sounds of the kitchen – shielded by re-claimed shutters – is a source of entertainment filtering through to the dining area. Black and white photographs grace the walls and original drawings on distressed panes in the lower windows catch the sunlight playfully. For quieter gatherings and cozy conversations, a lounge area partially sections off in the rear.
