Food Scene
Eclectic bakery & deserts in NoDa. The NoDa area is now a popular yet funky arts district known for the unique shops and galleries that have transformed the former mill village. Once vacant properties have been repurposed into thriving restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues. The community's enthusiasm for the arts has brought about an eclectic neighborhood that is especially popular among creatives.
