A new Our Daily Bread location is set to open in Downtown Roanoke this April.

Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, is Feb. 16. As a French café and bakery with multiple locations throughout the region, Our Daily Bread in Blacksburg has been baking king cakes all season long. Usually, during carnival, there are parties, the person who finds the baby in their piece of cake is king for the day, hosts the next party and brings the king cake. Our Daily Bread has been baking king cakes the Mardi Gras season for years while this is the very first year Evie’s Bistro and Bakery in Roanoke is getting in on the celebration. Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 16th and it just isn't Mardi Gras without the King Cake.
