Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery

The Bitches say: B+ for delicious Southern food and Cajun fare in an order-up environment. We’d love a bit more attention to detail on execution and wow-factor on some of the dishes, however. Read more

The beignets are so delicious! And so is everything else. The ambient is extremely cozy , I would be holed up in here if I lived in Virginia. I came all the way from Maryland to check this place out.

Boozicles are exactly what you think, assuming you think that they're booze-filled popsicles that come in tingling-ly handsome flavors like ScrewBerry, Bananas Foster and Berry Coolada. Read more

This beloved Southern bakery offers its cocoa for $4.95. The Bayou Hot Chocolate is made with 64 percent Valrhona chocolate and Trickling Springs milk . Read more

Awesome stop! Get the beignets . Biscuit sandwiches . Basil Mint Latte was AMAZING! One of a kind for sure. Check out the bathroom . Recipes to read while you 'go'.

The food is really good (I like the gumbo and mac & cheese ), and they have great coffee too (1 free refill on drip coffee if you eat in!). Good place to do work during the day.

Very delicious food. It’s worth trying we tried benedict, green salad and beignets . All were good and tasty. Seats were limited but not that long time to wait!

The Buzz N’ Bee Latte was delicious and so were the biscuits . Service could have been a lot better as well as speed. The aesthetics were cute though, I’d come back on a weekday!

This NOLA-themed sandwich shop and bakery in Arlington specializes in muffalettas--which typically layer ham , capicola , salami , mortadella , provolone and peppers or olives . Read more

Pretty lively , not overly crowded , and the beignets are beignets : gotta like that! Fine place to go with a laptop. Many of the customers are talking business/acting professional. Abita on tap.

Ask for a "snowball" to cool off on a hot summer day. It's an amazing combination of the traditional snow come with a touch of cream. Wedding cake , strawberry and nectar flavors are great!

Very good biscuits & nice selection of New Orleans foods. Be sure to try their Candied Spiced Pecans . They are a great snack while waiting.

Free wifi and friendly staff . Biscuits that made this northern girl realize why southerners are obsessed with biscuits . They have a different sandwich special every day of the week. Yum!

Beignets are lightly-sugared pillows . 3 to an order.Don't plan on having a productive work day if you eat all 3 at one sitting. Chicory coffee delish. Owner suggested milk since it was my 1st time.

The veggie sandwich is one of the best things on a menu that abounds in bacon and pork . Also good: Shrimp with green-onion rémoulad ; gumbo ; turkey-meatball sandwich ; crawfish pot pie .

A little bit 'Nawlins style cooking in Virginia! Don't leave without trying either the beignets (make sure you LOTS of napkins!) or pralines , or both! Delicious!

The milk bread breakfast sammies are even better than the biscuit sammies!

Try the beignets ! Breakfast is great here, also delicious coffee , awesome for working remotely, and coffee meetings.

The beignets were amazing. I am very excited to come back for brunch and try more of the menu.

They use quality ingredients. Delicious beignets , really tasty gumbo . Praline latte is very tasty as well

Snowballs are back for the summer! Today's flavors were strawberry , dreamsicle , nectar , wedding cake , and cafe au lait . Make sure you add condensed milk ! Yum!

Omg their turkey meatballs are to die for and the orange juice in the morning is like crack because you keep on wanting more. The beignets are wonderful as well .

The Arm Drip sandwich is the ultimate sandwich . Just be aware of the mess. Add some Crystal hot sauce for some spice.

BLTs are now on the everyday menu, wahoo! They use arugula , but you can get romaine instead if you ask. Beignets are also fantastic!

Missing Cafe DuMonde - We came for the beignets and hot chocolate - neither is their strong suit - they don't serve Po Boys during dinner time - not sure I'd invest in a lunchtime trip to Arlington

This cafe is straight out of New Orleans . BB's beignets are superior to those at Cafe Du Monde. Gumbo , Gumbo , Gumbo ..

The Bitches say: A-. Brunch doesn’t have to have full table service to be epic in terms of experience and food. Bayou does everything right. Read more

OMG the beignets with peach butter! Good Bloody Mary too.

Beignets : "...The light fluffy dough and powdered sugar takes me back to my childhood in New Orleans ." --Aba Kwawu (NVM's January 2013 Eat This Now! issue)

This place is fantastic and was just named one of the top ten sandwich places in america by CNN. Great southern food in the midatlantic.

Do yourself a favor and grab a bag of pork corn (caramel covered popcorn , bacon bits , Virginia peanuts , with a dash of cayenne pepper ). Wash down with a Boylan Root Beer . Yum!

Grits and Grillades is the best Sunday brunch treat!

Amazing Vanilla Latte ! Hands down one of the best I've ever had!

As close to NOLA as you can get in DC. Good coffee too.

Excellent espresso . I, enjoy they provide a short glass of seltzer water as a chaser. Great atmosphere.

PorKorn Chef-owner David Guas ’ New Orleans heritage is evident in his signature creation of caramel corn laced with bits of bacon and peanuts

Bayou BLT is so tasty. The roasted tomatoes and arugula make it a winner.

If you have never had a Sno-ball its time to try one. If you know what I'm talking about Run don't walk to get one!!!

When they have it available the cheesecake bars are the best dessert option .

Really great food and drinks, if you are nearby definitely check this place out

Beignets and deviled eggs were delish!

Delicious coffee & always interesting, Cajun-style food on the menu.

Half the staff is wonderful. Half the staff is rude. It's worth putting up with the latter to snag one of their delicious croissants .

Excellent place for coffee . They serve Counter Culture , which I love!

Limited selection of menu items @ different times of day is frustrating, they also don't offer oyster po'boys and their egg sandwiches have gross microwaved eggs , BUT they have a great veggie sandwich

French press , cappuccino , macchiato , all the weekend brunch specials

I had a breakfast biscuit , tried my boy's grits , and finished up with bengiets. Good stuff.

Get the jive turkey sandwich . Delish for $7
