2024 UPDATE: Colonial Bakery remains the entire family’s #1 MUST STOP spot in Lavalette! We hit them up the first morning we arrive and crave their cinnamon bread in between visits. Not sure if it’s new but we tried the Chocolate Claw this year. It’s pretty much heaven in a pastry. A croissant cookie with chocolates drizzled on top.
We have yet to meet a pastry here we find to be just okay. It’s all mouthwatering!!
If it’s busy, walk in and grab a ticket and patiently wait to place your order. They move quickly and no matter how long, it’s worth the wait!!
Plan to buy pretty much one of everything!!! We brought home donuts, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread, French bread….the French bread was consumed too quickly to snap a pic!! We sampled the Lemon Blueberry pound cake. It all is beyond delicious!!!!! Worth the trip...
Read moreI have been coming to this wonderful bakery for many years. The bakery closes for the season on the last weekend of September.

Read moreBeyond thankful for this place! My mom and I were visiting from Chicago so I had no idea where to go for a surprise birthday cake for her. I took a chance on Colonial Bakery and I’m so glad I did. I ordered online in advance and picked up first thing after eight in the morning. The staff was super friendly and patient during my pick up (as I grabbed some other items too). Not only did the cake turn out beautiful, it tastes amazing! The fudge icing is delicious, the cake was moist and has remained so for days after and the vanilla custard/strawberry filling is divine! Probably one of my most favorite cakes I’ve ever had. We have one piece left and I’m ready to fight for it :) Thanks...
