Located on New Orleans’ bustling Frenchmen Street, Ayu Bakehouse is one of the city’s hottest new bakeries, with an open kitchen inspired by the live performances the neighborhood is known for. Ayu (which rhymes with “bayou”) was founded by pastry chefs Samantha Weiss and Kelly Jacques, who they met while managing Breads Bakery, one of New York’s most beloved and popular bakeries. At Ayu, they’re putting a distinctly New Orleans spin on classic pastries. With one bite you’ll understand why Ayu has quickly become a NOLA must-visit!
