Best French Bakery in Arkansas

"Located Downtown in the old Sweden cream building, The Root is a tremendously popular farm-to-table breakfast and lunch spot that offers a number of delicious vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. They source 100% of the meat, eggs, and bread they serve, as well as the majority of their vegetables, fruits, nuts, and cheeses from small farms and producers in Arkansas. Menu highlights include eggs banh mi, house-made brats and burgers, and sweet potato fries."

"No city guide is complete without ice cream, and no Little Rock flavor roundup would be complete without the eclectic, locally sourced offerings of Loblolly Creamery. While many restaurants in the city serve Loblolly’s cool treats on their own menus, the ice cream wonders are best enjoyed at the old-fashioned soda fountain within the Green Corner Store in Little Rock’s SoMA District. Buttermilk, honey-green tea and Little Rock-y Road are outstanding – as are the fantastic collaborative ice creams created from local products such as Rocktown Bourbon Pecan made from Rocktown Distillery’s award-winning bourbon and Death by KYYA from KYYA’s bean-to-bar chocolate."

"The Loblolly Creamery is a small-batch ice cream shop providing cold refreshments for the hot Arkansas days. Their assortment of unusual flavors includes Black Cat Vanilla (yes, it’s black) and Red Velvet Pig Sooie. Coffee and baked goods, as colorful as the ice cream, round out the menu."

"Although the Community Bakery has had a few different owners throughout the years, it is still famous and most visited for its homemade cakes and recipes its bakers have been using for 60 years. Serving everything from breakfast, sandwiches and warm soups, to scrumptious wedding cakes or typical European pastries, the place is never empty, especially during holidays when its seasonal desserts come into play."

"They also have the most delicious cakes and loaves of bread you can imagine. Its long history means that many of the recipes used 60 years ago are still in use today. Their cake cabinet is a sight to behold and I had to fight the urge to buy “all the cakes”."

"King cakes come in three varieties: cream cheese, raspberry and praline and pecan at $19.95 each. They also have fleur de lis sugar cookies for 60 cents a piece or $6 for a dozen."

"Arkansas loves pie, and nowhere is pie exalted more in the city than at Honey Pies. Sharon Frizzell Woodson’s inviting café offers plenty of pie options, including classic caramel-apple and the more inventive Possum (cream-chocolate-cream cheese), and she takes requests. Whether serving gorgeous golden-topped fruit pies, delectably caramelized meringues or impossibly fluffy creams, Honey Pies has quickly become the place to find the perfect slice in Little Rock."

"Try: The signature Good Morning Honey Latte is a delightful blend of honey and cinnamon. For Kids: In addition to delicious sweet treats and pie, kids get an entire area outfitted with kid-sized tables and chairs, coloring sheets, crayons and more."

"The Blue Cake Company’s King Cake offers 2 pounds(!) of brioche, cinnamon sugar, cream cheese glaze, plus festive decor. This crowd-pleasing confection serves 8-12. To order: Visit their online menu or call 501-868-7771."

"The cozy Heights grocer offers more than just fresh local produce — Walter’s Green Room also doubles as a perfect event space for the holidays. The Heights Corner Market team can host your group of up to 45 people or more if you include the entire market space. The market’s chef will meet with you and help create the perfect menu for the evening."

"2907 Lakewood Village Dr, North Little Rock, 72116 Japanese, Chinese. I only had the sushi here, but my rating includes the service as well.... This was my first visit (5.2.15/SA)."

"The Junction Railroad Bridge is a pedestrian and cycling bridge connecting Little Rock and North Little Rock. The Junction Bridge has been a backdrop of Little Rock and North Little Rock for over 100 years. Originally built as a railroad bridge in 1884, it was rebuilt in 1970 and converted for pedestrian use in 2008."

"Well, come here at night and admire this bridge that is lit up with an array of colours. At 40 feet above the Arkansas River, come here at night for a colourful shot of the bridge with the River in the background."

"But the Castle on Stagecoach provides the English castle feel right here in Little Rock. The indoor space is beautiful on its own or can be easily dressed up with florals and décor to make it the winter wonderland of your dreams. You can rent the inside of the castle for $500 for two hours."

"The home of Daisy Bates, who was president of the Arkansas chapter of the NAACP and liaison for the Little Rock Nine, was vandalized and bombed by those against integration. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; tours are available but must be scheduled in advance."

"Taj Mahal Indian Kitchen brings the authentic taste of Halal Indian food to Little Rock. Those with a vague familiarity with it may think that high spicing is required in Indian cuisine, but in actuality, it is the delicacy of spicing that cultivates its taste. Many of the delicately prepared Halal dishes at Taj Mahal Indian Kitchen are cooked in a tandoor (a clay oven), ensuring their flavorful nature, like Chicken Tandoori, Tandoori Masaledar Lamb Chops, and Seekh Kebab."

"Go for the sampler naan bread, it has 4 different types of naan and they're all good. Definitely going to come back."
