La Baguette
Seek out the new bakery bringing
authentic French bread and pastries
to hungry Barbadians
Nothing beats the sublime smell
of fresh baking bread. And if
you’re near St James, you can
not only feast on the fragrance
but enjoy the results thanks to
La Baguette, bringing authentic
French bread, cakes and pastries
to delighted Bajans.
After years baking in France,
Jackie and Franck Risler fell in
love with Barbados while on
vacation, and decided to set
up a boulangerie right there.
Opened in summer 2019, La
Baguette bakes a range of French
breads and pastries, from pain
au chocolat to sweet and fluffy
brioche; coffee is also available.
“It is such a pleasure when
customers come in saying how
lovely it smells,” says Jackie. “We
meet people from all over the
world, and we have many regular
customers who come every day
to get their fresh baguettes.”
