a GF Tea House? Yes...in Lafayette!

BiBi's Patisserie - a Tea House a-n-d Gluten Free



Wall mural quote: "The creation of a thousand forests
                                       lies in a single acorn"



not your everyday patisserie...



not your everyday tea house...













except maybe on the front porch...
& the exterior of the lovely old wooden house...
restored now inside & out, painted a blue & white...











my gluten free finds for the day...
an oatmeal raisin cookie, the last one -
left me by the previous ladies ahead of me,
knowing I wanted just 1 to take home for someone at work...
and for me a carrot cake/cream creation & 1 more to save,
because they're dearly healthly baked...
tho I cannot continue living on desserts & coffees?!
(or as the LifeStyle paper says I will 'not' be dressed to impress anybody at all?!)

Link to The Ind, local newspaper, article under Finds from back in March--how did I miss that, but I know I was watching the old wooden house getting finished & waiting to drive by to see that Open Now sign as I'd pass it a lot going to the Oil Center or on to Downtown...

SUGAR(FREE) HIGHTrying to stick to a strictly vegan and/or organic diet, but still want to down a muffin or two every once in a while? If so, then you may want to look into a little up-and-coming bakery service called BiBi’s Patisserie, which specializes in allergen-free and gluten-free baked goods. The brainchild of two recent UL Lafayette graduates, this unique pastry enterprise is, for the moment, delivery only, but there are plans for a full bakery and complementary coffee shop opening in the fall. Try the gluten- and sugar-free strawberries & creme muffins; their moist texture and soft center will make you forget all about regular sugar-laced muffins. A baker’s dozen of these can be purchased from their website, 2countrygrls.etsy.com, or by email at bibispatisserie@gmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , for $20. Also, UL students get a nice 10 percent discount for the remainder of the spring semester. — Wynce Nolley
note: Hey I'm a UL grad too, but not as of this past spring semester?! I do like you're not only supporting local business but local grads & local healthy/vegan/GF/SugarFree/Organic baking--hard to believe that's all possible (then to find the place modern inside is even better?!)

                       ###

A Gluten Frere Travel Site? Yes, there is...

Vegan World Order Site? Yes, there is that too...

Wandering Goat Coffee Co? Yes, it's there as well--all this & more at BiBi's Patisserie/Tea House...



 



Gluten Free Bakeries Map? Yes, there is & not just the big boys like Whole Foods either...

note: You Go Mike?! & Good Luck too with the GF beer?!
So far in LA only Truely Free Bakery & Deli in BR, LA is listed...
someone needs to add BiBi's Patisserie in Lafayette, LA right?!

(+have just tweeted Mike about Nathan & hopefully the 2 of them will find each other on Twitter?!)
