The Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for La Baguette Bakery & Catering on Saturday, March 6^th.  The ceremony was held at their location, 363 S. Governor’s Avenue in Downtown Dover, as part of their Anniversary event and Customer Appreciation Day. Chamber members, ambassadors, and staff members joined owners, Ludovic and Anita Bezy to celebrate La Baguette’s 4^th Anniversary and the introduction of their new Comfort Food Kits!    

      La Baguette Bakery & Catering is Central Delaware’s only authentic French bakery. Married in Chaumont in 1990, Ludo and Anita dreamed of bringing a piece of France to the area and opened their business in 2017. All their products are baked on the premises with no additives, preservatives, or high fructose corn syrup.  From baked goods, such as breads, pastries, brioche, croissants, cakes, and much more to delicious sandwiches and other savory items, La Baguette has become a popular neighborhood destination for “Beautiful Food. Exceptional Taste.” 

      During this past year’s global health crisis, the team at La Baguette was required to work diligently to “re-invent” the wheel so they could continue serving the community in a safe and efficient way. Customers were able to order online and pick their orders up at a convenient walk-up window. During nice weather, La Baguette’s patrons gladly moved to the business’s two outdoor patio area to enjoy tasty treats with friends, family members, and business colleagues. The bakery’s “Breakfast Club,” an always enjoyable experience on the last Saturday of the month and featuring breakfast specials and live local entertainment, even moved outside.

      The catering portion of the business became essential and grew in the face of closures and capacity requirements for indoor dining. Holiday meals were added to La Baguette’s repertoire for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. Now, the folks at La Baguette are pleased to introduce their new Comfort Food Kits. These amazing kits include 32 oz. of homemade soup, 4 handcrafted assorted roles, and 4 handcrafted assorted cookies. The kits can be ordered and picked up at La Baguette, or they can be ordered and, with advanced notice, delivered to a loved one (with a Dover zip code and for an additional fee). What an incredible way to show love and concern for those who are unable to get out during this time! 

      La Baguette Bakery & Catering is proud to be a part of the Central Delaware Community.  The folks at La Baguette love to form partnerships in the community with other small, local businesses, as they offer and highlight each other’s products and find ways to collaborate for the good of the community. At the end of each day, any leftover items from the day are shared with the local homeless shelter.
