Leo's Bread

bakery·$·Bayou St. John

An artisan bakery near Bayou St. John with a serious sourdough program — crusty loaves, seasonal pastries, and simple coffee in a minimalist space. The sourdough loaves are the draw; grab whatever seasonal pastry looks good alongside. Come early in the morning before the good loaves sell out, and combine it with a bayou walk. The neighborhood already knows, so arrive early for the best selection. It is bread-first in the best way — a pared-back room where the loaves are the point, ideal for assembling picnic supplies before heading to the water. Minimalist, excellent, and gone early.
