$50 gift card for Bayou Bakery!

Louisiana native David Guas welcomed a partnership with Passion Food Hospitality, the warm and inviting restaurant group he calls family, the team who gave him his start 12 years ago at Washington’s DC Coast and their four subsequent restaurants. This is the first acquisition of its kind for partners Jeff Tunks, Gus DiMillo and DavidWizenberg, who saw that stepping forward to support their long-time friend was a clear win-win situation.  Guas, a native of New Orleans, will be Bayou Bakery’s operating partner and chef, producing all the delectable southern sweets and balancing the menu with a selection of savory casual eats.

Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery is the first DC establishment to offer authentic delectable southern sweets with a selection of savory casual eats.

Choose from a variety of original pressed-to-order hot sandwiches on New Orleans-style French Bread:

• Veg Head - grilled portobello, asparagus, red onions, and smoked gouda;


• Spicy Pilgrim—blackened turkey; and


• French-A-Lotta—ham, salami, provolone, and olive dressing.

Guas’ Louisiana country cooking shines through in Boudin and Andouille sausages, savory Breakfast Biscuits, Pimento Cheese, Hogshead Cheese, and jars of Bread & Butter Pickles for purchase at the register.

And that’s not all—Beignets and Chicory-Coffee Pralines, layered cakes, pies, puddings, Heavenly Hash.

Located on the corner of North Courthouse Road and 15th Street in Arlington, a lively spot where each Saturday the Farmer’s Market emerges in the morning hours, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery is a “funkified” yet traditional coffee house and retail bakery, full of casual charm and vintage Southern character.
