Gendusa John Bakery Inc is a family-run business that has been operating in New Orleans since 1922, making it one of the few surviving traditional bread bakeries in the city. They are renowned for their famous Poor Boy Bread, which was created by founder John Gendusa to feed striking streetcar workers. Today, they continue to supply their delicious bread to various establishments throughout the city.
Despite facing extensive flood damage after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the current owner, Jason, and his father took on the responsibility of rebuilding this historic bakery. While their bread is primarily sold wholesale, locals can still knock on the screen door to purchase a loaf if they happen to pass by and catch a whiff of the irresistible aroma. Gendusa John Bakery Inc remains a beloved institution in New Orleans, preserving the tradition of quality bread-making for four generations.
