A French café-bakery near Bayou St. John, the bakery sibling of Cafe Degas, opened in 2024 with a serious viennoiserie program. Order tartines and a cappuccino, but the real draw is the viennoiserie — croissants and pain au chocolat done right. Come in the morning before a walk along the bayou, a neighborhood that rewards slow starts. It is the perfect anchor for a bayou morning: proper French pastry and coffee from a kitchen with real pedigree, in a part of town built for unhurried days. The Degas connection signals the quality, and the croissants deliver on the promise.
