Treasure Hunting in Breaux Bridge

Breaux Bridge is home to several outstanding antique shops so whatever you’re searching for, the odds are good you’ll find it here. Lagniappe Antique Mall located in the old Domingue Motor Co. reigns as the largest, with 17,000 square feet of collectibles, antiques and handmade art and furniture. Janell’s Gifts & Antiques at 200 E. Bridge St. and Something Old Something New at 801 Berard St. combine the old with some new with a few unique items thrown in.

Dining

All that treasure hunting can make you hungry. Café Sydnie Mae, named for community leader Sydnie Mae Durand, serves up Cajun and Creole staples for dinner and weekend brunch with occasional live music accompaniment. Look for a hearty seafood gumbo, a crawfish Teche Wellington and decadent bread pudding. Since Breaux Bridge is the Crawfish Capital of the World, don’t miss the café’s yummy crawfish étouffée.

Coffee

You’ll need energy to search for treasures, so fuel up first on freshly brewed coffee and craft espresso drinks at Bayou Barista Coffee. This drive-through java spot owned by Jared and Cathi Soileau began as a food truck traveling through Acadiana but now has a brick and mortar spot at the corner of Refinery and Berard streets. If cool is your jam, try their frappes and iced “Moo-cha Latte.”
