NOLA Mother’s Day 2020

 

It’s time to celebrate mom, and while that celebration may look a little different this year, there are still plenty of great places to get gifts, delicious treats, festive spirits and more. Here are some of our top choices for a sweet and special day.

 

Start the day

Treat mom to a special breakfast full of her favorite treats to kick off the day in style.

La Boulangerie has pick up and take out from its Magazine Street store. Grab an assortment of sweet and savory pastries and croissants for a Mother’s Day breakfast in bed.

Gracious Bakery has two locations for pick up, has limited delivery and constantly updates its available menu on social media and on their website. All orders are for next day pick up, so be sure to plan ahead. And be sure to order extra hazelnut cruffins for the rest of the week.
