Lagniappe Bakehouse: A Creative Haven Redefining Pastries with African Flair
In the heart of Central City, Lagniappe Bakehouse stands as a beacon of creativity and innovation in the pastry world.
The Birth of Lagniappe
Founded by Kaitlin Guerin, a former dancer turned pastry chef extraordinaire, Lagniappe Bakehouse offers a unique experience with treats like the 'Vaucroissant' - a flavorful creation filled with Creole hot sausage. Guerin's pandemic pivot led to the birth of Lagniappe Bakehouse, where she combines her passion for baking with an artistic flair that shines through in every bite.
A Taste of Innovation
At Lagniappe Bakehouse, innovation knows no bounds. From the miso caramel apple galette to the Africano - an African-inspired drink that complements their pastries perfectly, every item on the menu is a testament to Guerin's dedication to creating unique flavors and textures. By incorporating African ingredients and collaborating with local businesses like Piety & Desire, Lagniappe Bakehouse brings a fresh perspective to the traditional pastry scene.
Building Community, One Pastry at a Time
Collaboration and community roots lie at the core of Lagniappe's success. By supporting local businesses and serving as a community hub, the café fosters a sense of togetherness that extends beyond the walls of the bakehouse. Whether you're savoring a specialty chocolate from Piety & Desire or indulging in a Vaucresson sausage-filled pastry, every bite at Lagniappe Bakehouse tells a story of partnership and passion.
The Future of Lagniappe
As Lagniappe Bakehouse continues to delight customers with its innovative pastries, the future holds even more savory surprises. With plans to expand their menu to include more savory options, Guerin and her team are constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional baking to bring something fresh and exciting to the table.
