Unbelievably, we are over halfway through November. Even more surprisingly, Thanksgiving is only a little over a week away.
If your table is looking a tad more savory than sweet right now, Baton Rouge restaurants and bakeries have your back. Do you want chocolate on the big day? A big slice of Key lime pie? Or maybe you’ll be extra thankful this year with a classic piece of apple cobbler.
We’ve compiled a list of places around town to pick up desserts for Turkey Day. Be sure to order ahead of time to claim yours. Did we miss a sweet spot that’s dishing out Thanksgiving desserts? Let us know by emailing [email protected].
