Taste the soul
of New Orleans
right here.
Fresh-baked bread, everyday groceries, and the kind of warmth that only comes from a neighborhood store that knows your name.
From our oven
to your table
Fresh-Baked Bread
French loaves, brioche, and daily specials pulled from the oven each morning. Crusty outside, soft within — just like Grandmère used to make.
Everyday Groceries
Pantry staples, Louisiana favorites, and the ingredients you need for gumbo, jambalaya, and everything in between — all under one roof.
Drinks & Essentials
Cold drinks, coffee, snacks, and household goods — the things you reach for without thinking, now just around the corner from home.
More than a store.
A neighborhood institution.
Old Gentilly 4500 has stood at the corner of Old Gentilly Road for as long as anyone in the neighborhood can remember. We're not a chain. We don't have a corporate mission statement. What we have is something rarer — a place where regulars come in by name, where the bread arrives before sunrise, and where you'll always find someone who remembers how you take your coffee.
Our bakery produces fresh loaves every morning. Our shelves are stocked with the groceries Louisiana families actually cook with. And our doors are open because this neighborhood deserves a store that shows up, day after day, with nothing fancy and nothing missing.

Local & loved
Rooted in
Gentilly
Neighborhood First
We source locally when we can, support local growers, and keep our shelves stocked with the brands and products our neighbors actually ask for.
A Place to Belong
Some of our customers have been coming for decades. We know their kids by name, we know what they like, and we always save the good stuff for them.
Proudly Local
Born and raised in New Orleans. We understand this city's food culture, its rhythms, and its expectations — and we meet them every single day.
Come say
hello.
