Metairie 2: Orleans Line To Houma Blvd
Anecdotes & Analysis
This old Metairie bakery shot skyward in quality when it was taken over by Jean-Luc Albin, a talented and extremely likable French chef. The entire range of French, Italian, and even American pastries, cakes, and pies are made here. What separates Maurice's from other local bakeries is a set of standards that allows no artificial flavors or other cheap shortcuts. You can come here and have a pastry and a cup of coffee, but for the most part it's a take-out and special-order place.
