Lila's is a quaint neighborhood bakery run by a very sweet family. It is located in a little old building in Shreveport's historic district, which in my opinion gives it all the ambience it needs. I have purchased their cakes and chocolates numerous times and always found them to be excellent. In particular, their king cakes are superb. I've tried... more

This is one of the worst bakery's I have seen. The pastries and cakes are dry and can crumble in your hands. The food is ok, but nothing spectacular. more

We went to this establishment for the first time thinking we would find a nice selection of baked goods. No such luck. The primary business here is apparently serving sandwiches and soup. Our reuben sandwiches and tomato basil soup were good. The place was busy and we had to stand in a long line to order. The server was very... more

I ordered a 1st birthday cake and smash cake for my son's 1st birthday party. The cakes were excellent! Moist and delicious. When I placed the order, however, I felt like I was being rushed so she could move on to other things. I really had no idea how the cakes would look or turn out until the day of... more

I'm not a sweets person, so Lila's for me is a good (locally owned and operated) sandwich and soup lunch spot. Good food at fair prices. You'll see "ladies who lunch" as well as men from nearby downtown and the area medical offices. Give them a try. I bet you'll like it. more

We visited Lila's for lunch, had the soup and sandwich combination, and were absolutely satisfied. We had to go back again 2 days later. The combos come with your choice of potato chips or a cookie. We've certainly all had chips before so we had cookies, they were wonderful. All the food we had was excellent. Lila's is a 2... more

My co-workers and I frequently visit Lila's to buy assortments of their treats. The sandwiches are nothing great, but all of the sweets are phenomenal. The prices are very reasonable. We usually get at least 2 - 3 boxes full for about $35.00. more

I am fortunate to live only a about 300 yards from the bakery - I have yet to try anything from Lila's that was not absolutely fantastic. If you are not the experimenting type, at least go in and buy a creampuff or one of their chocolate eclairs. To comment on the atmosphere: Lila's is reminiscent of an old-fashioned neighborhood... more

What an incredible find. I ducked into Lila's on a windy rainy day. I was delighted! I was surrounded with the smells of fresh baked breads and pastries as I came in the door. The establishment is located on the corner of Magnolia and Olive at 440 Olive Street. Its in an old building locals have known for years. The... more
