But Zuhause has been operating with a limited menu the past two weeks while training staff, and word-of-mouth has spread quickly.
"We are doubling and tripling our recipes every day," says Hannah Ellaham, who is working as the executive pastry chef. Ellaham formerly owned and operated Bibi's Patisserie.
"I can't believe we're still running out," she continues. "It doesn't matter what we put in that case; there will be nothing in it by the end of the day. It's crazy, but it's keeping the staff motivated."
Cory Bourgeois, whom you might remember from Dark Roux, is developing a lunch menu for Zuhause.
The menu will utilize the bakery's bread and include options such as heirloom tomato toast, house-smoked salmon toast, avocado toast, kale salad, shrimp po'boys and banh mi — which can be described as a Vietnamese-style shrimp po'boy.
Shrimp will arrive fresh daily from Nguyen's Vermilion Gulf Seafood.
"We're starting with a simple menu that will showcase the bread and talent inside of the bakery," Bourgeois says. "It'll change along the way, but we really want to focus on the simple, seasonal things that go along with what's happening in the bakery."
Hanh Krischkowski is thankful to be back in her hometown with her mother after so many years away.
"It's wonderful to have all my family close to me. My mom loves it," she says. "And it's wonderful that I can work with my brother to have a bakery here."
The hot, humid weather has been an adjustment for her and her husband.
"I moved here on the 19th of May, and I'm still alive," Rainer Krischowski says with a hearty laugh. "It wasn't too hot, but I still get lost every time I go out. Johnston Street is the only one I know."
Although they'll miss opening the windows inside of their bakery like they did in Germany, they have nothing but gratitude for the warm reception they've received in Lafayette.
"I'm just thankful that customers have given us the chance," Hanh Krischkowski says. "I hope that everybody who comes feels at home."
Zuhause Bakery & Coffee is located at 6774 Johnston St. in Lafayette.
The bakery offers indoor and outdoor seating for about 140 people and drive-thru service.
Zuhause will be open 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. to 6 pm. Sunday. The bakery will be closed on Monday.

A LADETTE due to fly out on a girlie trip to Ibiza had to be frogmarched off a holiday jet after she subjected fellow passengers to a foul-mouthed racist tirade following a drinking bout.
Zareena Shaid, 24, called one passenger a “'f*ing n*” and referred to another who had a speech impediment as a “mg” after they asked her to quieten down ahead of take-off.
She broke down and sobbed in a courtroom today as she was jailed for 12 weeks.
The lout - who by her own admission was ''eight and a half to nine out of ten drunk'' - had earlier been knocking back alcohol in the executive lounge at Manchester Airport with three female friends.
As she was led away from the Monarch Airlines A320 airbus, Shaid, from Widnes, Cheshire even defiantly gave passengers the middle finger salute before heading off to the cells.
Witness, Paris Chambers later told police: "I was left feeling physically sick and shocked.
"I was placed in fear for my safety and the Asian female in particular who was loud and aggressive.
''At the point she started racially abusing another passenger I felt there was something that needed to be done before we were trapped in the air with these passengers on board."
Another witness, Amber Ferguson, said: "I've flown many times and passengers can often be loud and boisterous but I've never experienced something like this.
"To say I found they're behaviour offensive is an understatement."
A third passenger Kathleen Johnson, said: "I've flown numerous times and never experienced any behaviour like this. They had no regard for the other passengers on board. One verbally threatened me for looking in her direction."
At Manchester magistrates court Shaid sobbed as she admitted racially aggravated harassment and using threatening behaviour in relation to the incident on September 13 last year.
Shaid - who has a variety of pouting selfies on her Facebook page has previous convictions for criminal damage, drink driving and car theft.
At Manchester magistrates court Shaid - who had graduated from Liverpool Hope University but has since lost her job as an 'early years' teacher - admitted racially aggravated harassment and using threatening behaviour.
Passing sentence District Judge Nick Sanders told her: "No one who heard the facts of the case were not shocked by your behaviour on the aircraft those months ago, it was frankly disgusting.
"The level of your intoxication gave rise to this abuse of passengers, racially aggravated, aggravated by disability was as I said disgusting.
"I work on the basis that often young people make mistakes in life and once they make that they can learn and move on.
The level of your intoxication gave rise to this abuse of passengers, racially aggravated, aggravated by disability was as I said disgusting.
"This case is not your first mistake. You have been in court before for drink driving and criminal damage and yet here you are again.
''The offence crosses the custody threshold. I do take into account you have not been to custody before and your relatively young but custody is inevitable.
"You need to learn from your mistakes and it's for that reason immediate custody has to be given."
Prosecuting, Carl Miles, said: "According to witnesses the party had been drinking alcohol in the executive lounge. Initially when they gained entry there were no particular issues but a member of staff was aware there was an argument between the defendant and the row in front.
"There's an argument that commences between parties and racial language used by the defendant. The phrase 'f***g n**r' was used towards a black man who said 'just be quiet no one wants to listen to you'. She said 'just shut up you n..er'.
"This defendant was very vocal, shouting and swearing. One gentleman reported to a witness, Kathleen Johnson, that he spoke slowly and slurred his words due to a brain injury that caused him to have a speech impediment and they said 'you can't even speak you f..king mong'.
''It's clearly targeted at his disability. Eventually police were called before the flight took off, the aircraft was never in the air. They were removed and the defendant stuck her middle finger up in front of one of the passengers' faces as she was escorted away.
"She was arrested and interviewed and described herself as being drunk and she said she was an eight and a half to nine out of ten. She said she would not use threatening or abusive language or racist language because she has been on the receiving end of that in the past.
Defending Gary Lawrenson said: "It's a lesson well learnt, a lady that's had to put up with that kind of abuse over the years.
"Her understanding must be better as well. She's lost so much and had such a frightening experience that the lesson has been learned."
You won’t find Malabourg on a map, but if you’ve ever been to the Gaspésie you should be able to picture the town conjured by Perrine Leblanc in her newly translated second novel. It’s a composite of several communities on the north shore of Baie des chaleurs, where the author’s mother was born, and for Montrealer Lebl...
If Leblanc already feels like an established face on the literary scene, it’s partly because her 2010 debut couldn’t have been more auspicious. L’homme blanc won the Governor General’s Award for French-language fiction and the Grand Prix du livre de Montréal, and picked up its fair share of English readers when transla...
Orphanhood as a state to be desired, choosing to lose one’s very voice — here are some deep, dark currents. In a place where the one agent of social glue, however flawed — the church — has ceded its role, the hardest hit are the most vulnerable. The young women of Malabourg have it hard at the best of times; when a fig...
The raw material of The Lake could easily have stretched to a novel three times the length, but Leblanc knows how to make a little go a long way. Images grab you with a force that feels physical, as in a scene where boys play hockey on the frozen lake, unknowingly skating just inches above the remains of their slain cl...
So far, so archetypal, you might think. A whole tradition in Québécois and Canadian literature can accommodate the small-town noir note Leblanc strikes. Halfway through, though, things change radically. After what had appeared to be the novel’s main thrust — who killed the girls, and why? — is resolved quickly and perh...
NDG Arts Week, which wrapped up on Sunday, was a model for what an urban arts festival can be: varied, human-scale, well organized yet spontaneous in feel, and fully integrated into the community. Highlights among the limited number of events I was able to attend included NDG Off the Wall, a set of short neighbourhood-...
Finally — and the reason I’m able to sneak all this into a books column — there were the literary readings, organized and curated by Su Sokol, two of them at Shäika Café (the first including, full disclosure, your friendly columnist) and a third at a seniors’ residence. All encompassed the full range of genres, ages an...
This festival, now six years into its life, looks to be growing exponentially in profile and popularity. Here’s hoping it can retain the grassroots flavour that is so much a part of its appeal.
When you fail, are you making a habit out of failing forward?
This week, we're highlighting five events that can help move your career forward.
Teamwork, competition and fierce training exist behind the computer screen, not just on the field.
Here are the top five reasons why students should be active in associations that align with their career path.
The latest FTA inspection report finds 'poor radio fidelity' and several other problems along multiple Metro lines.
WASHINGTON – Metro radio problems go beyond the stretch of the Red Line where rail controllers struggled to contact the operator of a train that derailed last month.
Federal Transit Administration inspectors twice found “poor radio fidelity and frequently encountered radio reception dead zones” while riding the Orange and Silver lines from downtown D.C. through Arlington, Virginia, this fall, newly available inspection reports show.
Some other train operators could have difficulty hearing even properly functioning radios since one new train had loose door seals that meant whistling wind drowned out the train radio when traveling approximately more than 40 mph.
In several parts of the system, tripping hazards remain in the event of an evacuation, such as extra pieces of rail sitting in the middle or on the edge of the track bed. In one case, another piece of extra rail sat just a few inches from the electrified third rail.
The inspection reports from October and November also found missing or expired elevator inspection certificates for four elevators at Friendship Heights, two elevators at Pentagon, three elevators at Pentagon City, two elevators at L’Enfant Plaza and two elevators at Archives.
As in previous inspections, the FTA found that some prior issues were cleaned up. But there were other continuing problems: areas where mud caked around the electrified third rail; areas where water backed up or dripped onto the tracks; or batches of deteriorated fasteners meant to hold the rail in place.
On the Silver Line, which Metro accepted and opened in 2014, FTA inspectors noted the fasteners on bridge structures are beginning to show signs of failure. Several areas have already been corrected.
On the Blue Line near Braddock Road where trains can switch from one track to another, major rail tie problems were noted Oct. 12 that appeared to be similar to the issues that contributed to a July 2016 derailment near East Falls Church.
At the other end of the line, near Benning Road, inspectors found issues near newly installed fasteners, mud and silt up to the third rail showing signs of electricity flowing through it and significant fastener issues in a curve.
On the Red Line between Friendship Heights and Woodley Park, a significant amount of water backed up from drains and one of a few tunnel leaks dripped onto the tracks “allowing severe corrosion” of one of the rails down to its base. A similar issue was noted Nov. 11 near Medical Center.
Metro’s preliminary investigation found that rust was an apparent reason a rail shattered near Farragut North Jan. 15, leading to the Martin Luther King. Jr. Day derailment.
Overall, Metro has 909 specific open remedial actions identified by the FTA and 155 broader required corrective action plans that either have yet to be approved or submitted as of the end of November. Six of the remaining corrective action plans were under review by the FTA, 127 were past Metro’s original target date a...
Metro trains displayed the wrong speed limits for operators during a series of checks that also showed some operators were not aware of or following all technical requirements.
Federal investigators noted a series of issues where trains were showing zero for speed commands, which requires train operators to radio in for permission to move in most cases. In other cases, new trains showed speed limits of 75 miles an hour, even though the top authorized speed is 59 miles an hour.
In each of those instances, inspectors found train operators followed proper procedures.
However, several did not know they were supposed to carry around a large pile of papers detailing operating rules and procedures, and there were certain circumstances where train horns were not sounded at required times. Other operators were not carrying required flashlights.
On the Blue Line, a train operator did not see the flash from a system meant to warn that there are workers ahead.
Safety procedures became a big focus for federal investigators this fall, and while they noted a number of successes, they also found some risky situations. In one case, a worker who was supposed to be warning trains of workers on the tracks ahead had failed to do so.
In another, on the Red Line in Montgomery County Oct. 1, work crews in a dark tunnel where few lights were working used gas-powered machines and left a diesel maintenance vehicle running to light the work area without any ventilation. Federal inspectors were concerned the crews might have been exposed to carbon monoxid...
The workers were only wearing paper filter masks, and there did not appear to be any air monitoring devices available that would have served as a canary.
Metro now has a cleaning and testing program for tunnel wall lights meant to improve visibility for workers or in the case of evacuations.
As of November, special scaffolding built to maintain key parts of the new 7000 Series cars only accessible from the roof remained out of service at the New Carrollton Rail Yard due to safety concerns. Metro was building new, similar scaffolding elsewhere and planning to upgrade the New Carrollton facility.
At New Carrollton, an FTA inspector found a ceiling heater got in the way of some work being done and access ladders for the scaffolding needed improvements. On top, extenders meant to close the gap with a train when it is not lifted also were not working properly, so new rollers had been ordered.
The particular part of the facility was due to switch to working on maintenance machines in December.
Seven-term Republican Congressman Mike Rogers announced early on Friday that he would not seek re-election this November.
According to Detroit News, Rogers told WJR-AM radio this morning that “They may have lost my vote in Congress, but you haven’t lost my voice." His show will be syndicated by Cumulus Radio.
Although Rogers's pre-congressional career was in the FBI and not in talk radio, Rogers noted that he used to host a show in college. He's also a frequent Sunday talk show guest. Lately, Rogers's highest-profile opinions have been about the NSA and whistleblower Edward Snowden. The congressman has, for instance, called...
More recently, Rogers and the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, introduced an NSA reform bill to compete with the bulk collection reforms announced by President Obama yesterday. Obama's reform plan would require the NSA to get a court order to access metadata records stored by te...
Rogers is the 22nd member of the House to announce his retirement this cycle, as Roll Call points out. That's still around the average number of retirements from the House per cycle. This year, he's the 12th Republican to do so.
The legal department is said to have made the payment in the 2016/17 financial year without adequate documentary evidence.
Last year, the department was on the spot for spending Sh480 million over the Sh100 million budget for the 2015/16 financial year.
Acting County Attorney David Oseko explained that the payments were necessitated by warrants of arrest and garnishee court orders.
City Hall has once again been put on the spot over the Sh318.4 million in questionable payments to 12 law firms representing Nairobi.
The legal department is said to have made the payment without adequate documentary evidence.
During the 2016/17 financial year, the department’s legal costs totalled Sh645.3 million despite an approved budgetary allocation of just Sh105 million.
The cost was Sh540.26 million higher, 515 percent above the allocation for that year.
The revelation came up during a session by the county assembly's Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which arose from queries raised by Auditor General Edward Ouko.
Mr Ouko's report indicated that Sh592.4 million in legal fees was paid outside the Integrated Financial Management Information system contrary to the National Treasury directives.
“No authority for the supplementary expenditure was sought from the county assembly contrary to Section 196 (1) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. Consequently, the validity and propriety of legal fees for the year as disclosed in the financial statement cannot be confirmed,” it stated.
The report further revealed that Momanyi & Associates was paid Sh85 million for a 2011 case pitting the county against Edward Rukaya and two others.
Koceyo & Company Advocates was paid Sh83 million, with the county failing to produce files for audit review.
Wachira, Mburu, Mwangi & Company advocates was paid Sh32.37 million for a case between Josmass Enterprises and the county, in which the plaintiff sued for damages yet the evaluation of tenders had not been completed.
