Louie's Mandarin Gourmet

Just north of downtown Carson City on N. Curry Street is one of the best breakfast and lunch favorites in Carson City. L.A. Bakery has a wide variety of made-from-scratch pastries, pies, breads, cookies and quiches, many of which are inspired by European and Mediterranean cuisine. For something warm and savory for breakfast, look to the menu for omelets and bagels. For lunch there's soup, sandwiches and wraps like the Falafel Pita Wrap. All are made from organic ingredients. Order a coffee and sit on the backyard patio, or if you feel like staying indoors, L.A. Bakery will deliver directly to you. They are also the area's go-to bakery for specialty and wedding cakes and catering.
