When it comes to the best desserts in Louisiana, there are plenty to choose from. Sure, we love a good bananas Foster or bread pudding … and during Mardi Gras, king cakes show up on kitchen counters all across the state. But when you want to really treat yourself to something special, make your way over to Elsie’s Plate & Pie, home to some seriously legendary homemade pies.
You’ll find Elsie’s in the mid-city neighborhood of Baton Rouge.
A favorite for those working in the downtown area, Elsie’s Plate & Pie is known for its desserts, and we’ll get to those in a minute, but first, let’s crack open the menu and check out some of their savory options.
In addition to traditional pies like apple pie, coconut cream pie, and chocolate pie, Elsie's also offers several unique creations you won't find anywhere else.

So while we would normally tell you to save room for dessert, in this case, we think it's perfectly acceptable to throw out the rules and eat dessert first.
