Bayou Bakery, Coffee Eatery - Arlington

I was initially inclined to rate this place 4 stars, but unfortunately, both my friend and I experienced some stomach issues shortly after our meals. Aside from that, the food was quite delicious. We waited about 30 minutes from the moment we joined the line until we received our food on a Saturday around 10 am. Areas for improvement include the biscuit being a bit dry and the sandwich being smaller than anticipated.

Delicious experience at Bayou. We went thinking about biscuits, but seeing that there were shrimp and grits, I went with that and a biscuit on the side. Creamy, cheesy grits, shrimp were just right and the sauce was really good. Biscuit was light and fluffy. My wife had the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, plus got us an order of beignets. Beignets were so good... Just careful with all that powdered sugar.

Great place for breakfast or brunch. Had the egg sandwich with a side order of beignets and a latte. Perfect! There is some outside seating which allows you to bring your favorite canine friend along! Have come here a few times so I would definitely recommend a visit.

As I write this, I've just satisfied my hunger with a hearty and comforting lunch. Although I didn’t manage to capture it in photos, we ordered some flavorful gumbo that included all the perfect ingredients for a delicious stew. We also enjoyed a roast beef po’ boy, topped with an incredible gravy that had me going back for bite after bite. The food vanished before I remembered to take pictures for the memories. However, I did manage to snap a few quick shots of their deviled eggs, which came with a delightful "pork and jalapeño" topping.

The food was amazing and they even have frozen alcoholic slushies. I had the gumbo and their specialty grilled cheese. Go check out the places. The people who work there have a beautiful spirit and you always feel welcomed. The place is like a small art museum with a bit of historical facts posted on the walls. Check it out. You'll definitely return. I know I will.
