“In a city full of amazing bakeries, Ayu may be the best! Their flakey, melt in your mouth pastries are something you would expect to find in France. Their coffee is perfection- Family and dog friendly.“

“I love Crumbl cookies and love how they give you different cookies to choose from each week. I don’t think I ate one that I haven’t at least liked. I put a four for service only because I usually do Uber eats and they always forget my milk atmosphere I only put a three because I never actually been into the store, otherwise love love love“

“I’m from out of town and wanted to grab some cake or cupcakes for my husbands birthday. Some friends and I walked over to Bittersweet Confections and took in all the delish smells ! The place was clean, they offered water & everything looked amazing. We had the best service and everyone we interacted with was so kind!! These cupcakes we had were AMAZING!!! My friends got a scone and a brownie and they said they were so good as well! I love that they had some local jewelry, books, and other cute things as well. I picked up a child’s book for my daughter, she will love it! They also had cake toppers and candles with a match book, which is a great touch!

I highly recommend checking this place out. Thank you so much!!“

“I moved to the area about two years ago and after trying many bakeries in the area Levee is my favorite. Not only are their pastries seasonal and delicious, but the staff are al so welcoming and friendly. I live their savory croissants and their seasonally flavored cuffing. They also have fantastic sandwiches, cookies, and bread. You can't go wrong with Levee.“

“We were staying nearby for a few days and visited the bakery several times. We tried several different treats, and my favorite was the chocolate caramel croissant roll! It was heavenly! My only regret is that I didn’t get a king cake to bring home!“

“One of the absolute best breakfast biscuit sandwiches I've ever had. Not some freezer thawed airfryer junk, this had the fluffiest texture of biscuit and cheese and egg... would've shared a photo but eating and enjoying it was way more important. I'm actually sharing this the day as I reminisce how delicious it was 😏🎉👑“

“2025 UPDATE: Previously, I gave this place 2 stars in 2021. They've worked their way up to 3.5/3 75. They've mostly done away with those overly sweet novelty donuts and instead stepped up their basic glazed donuts. A fresh, warm. glazed Hurts Donut has become my favorite bakery donut in the city. (Since Blue Dot closed)

2021 Review:
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL!!! These are NOT good New Orleans donuts like that of the old McKenzie's, Shipley's, The Buttermilk Milk Drop, or Blue Dot. These donuts look cute, but they HURT your stomach! Poor POOR quality ingredients, LOADS of crappy sugar, and NO real FLAVOR. They are just trendy and Instagramable, but as far as actually eating them... never again. We ordered a large box with a variety of flavors. The Jesus donut was the absolute sweetest! The Strawberry Cheesecake was the most artificial tasting and disappointing. No strawberry. No cheesecake flavor. Walmart Great Value Graham crackers thrown on top.. Just a large quantity of crap disguised as cool novelty donuts. Then I read they are from Michigan, no disrespect to Michigan, but that explained a lot. I'd take a classic donut from a place like Starbucks before I ever subject myself to another night on the toilet with these. FLAVOR over AESTHETICS!!! I gave them 2 stars because I do love the Andy Warhol theme boxes, but obviously, the bandaids over the donuts were a warning. Also,the best one seemed to be the Butterfinger/Bart Simpson donut. Still super sweet but actually tastes good when slightly warmed up.“

“Chicken Salad Sandwich and the Muffaletta were great! The bread is delicious! Will be back to try more items!“

“We ate there while on vacation and their coffee and their twist on french toast was the best I’ve had. The service was top notch and the cafe was very clean :) Highly recommend stopping in.“

“Excellent desserts and great service. However, the owner desperately needs to consider having two employees working the dessert counter. Having one employee making drinks and preparing desserts for patrons creates an unnecessarily long queue and overwhelms the worker on duty.“

“The most delicious empanadas!!! The Asian Dumpling was our favorite. 100% highly recommend!!“

“Oh my goodness ! Beats krispy Kream hands down!!! They have the best donuts and smoothies. I tried the boudin Kolache it was amazing ! I’m calling them Boulaches lol very good. Friendly people.“

“Jenny and her staff did an amazing job on our cake for our baby shower! We did a cake tasting and Jenny was so helpful with decor ideas and flavors. We tried a few different flavors and it was so hard to pick just one! We will be back for those Tiramisu cupcakes because they were out of this world! The cake delivery was executed so perfectly, it actually made it to the venue before I did! Everyone LOVED the cake and I had everyone asking what bakery I used. We will be using Sweet Life for all our events going forward!!“

“The cake is delicious and the icing is even better. The staff is always polite and very helpful.“

“Got some amazing desserts earlier today… There were so many options, I ended up with a big box of goodies. And that berry cheesecake was fantastic!“

“Perfect cookies for any occasion.“

“I recently just moved to the neighborhood so I was really delighted that I would get the opportunity to visit this wonderful place they have such delicious food. However what I do not like is that they have horrible service and the attitude of the staff is lackluster that it is very confusing when you walk in there as far as directions. That aside they tend to miss plate items simple as meat and bacon I have to keeping me waiting seems that I was number 16 and they call 17 18 19 20 then I became a little concerned they hastily put together my plate where the items did not match my order it was no due diligence in checking the tickets to make sure that the items match with the person actually paid for as if there’s no kitchen manager or it’s just a free-for-all back there seems I’ve worked in the kitchen previous places I can spot the weakness maybe they need a staff that’s more enthusiastic about working at such a fine establishment and if they can appreciate that maybe that whole family dynamic atmosphere that they try to create something that’s really a hindrance to the business model and with overall discourage people who want to return and spend their heart on money so that they can keep this black on establishment on and Poppin but as you can see this is why people say black on establishment suck and black on businesses suck and they don’t give you a type of business and respect that you deserve because Black people suck but as another black person I’m not able to say that because that means that I suck so what a predicament this put me in oh my gosh and bring back the turkey Bacon please.“

“The Best! Thank you Aunt Dotti and David.William and Victoria loved the Canoli cake! The rehearsal dinner people loved it!“

“Amazing and delicious jobs on all my cakes! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“I was uptown visiting my sister and passed by here.Back in the day when I wanted to use Daddy's car ,I would pick him up from work and would drop by here and they would have the bread hot and ready when we came. Once we got home, we added a little Parkay butter, and oooh wee dinner would be so good .
The colonel was the best dad in the neighborhood. All the kids looked up to my parents because they loved everyone. Good memories
, yall, be blessed!“

“Great staff with great breakfast and lunch selections!“

“Food on my daughter’s birthday was great!! And Don Jose is on top of everything. Thank you so much. 💖💖“

“The beignets here are the best in town BUT! they charge $2 to take your order over the phone. Aside from that hiccup I really enjoyed this place

Apparently they stop making beignets at 5pm but I never found any signage warning of that. Just a heads up“

“WOW!!!!!!!! Today I had Nothing But Bundt Cakes deliver a beautiful red velvet Bundt cake and an assortment of mini Bundt cupcakes to my daughter who is attending a conference in New Orleans. I could never imagined that I would have such an extraordinary experience like this from a business establishment outside of my own neighborhood!L Lorraine Lanzilotta is such an amazing person to deal with. Her kindness, professionalism, helpfulness and beyond outstanding customer service offered gave me chills! This employee treated me as if we had been friends for many years! She made the entire process so much fun and personalized my order knowing how much the recipient (my daughter) would just LOVE her baked goods. Lorraine’s interpersonal skills and attention to detail are like no one else’s . I sent the most creative and charming cake and cupcakes to Nikki for a special celebration…and not only did she ensure it was artistically designed and personalized to perfection, but she also wrapped it in cellophane and attached a gorgeous notecard. My girl received it less than an hour from when I placed the order and was blown away by the presentation. Nothing But Bundt Cakes earned my business today and certainly deserves to earn yours. FUN FACT:Coming in March this franchise will be opening up in my neighborhood. ANOTHER FUN FACT:Lorraine Lanzilotta is as sweet as the cakes that she sells at the bakery; MAKE SOMEONE’S DAY AND HAVE ONE DELIVERED TODAY!“

“Cool atmosphere and good cakes!“

“This lady is the nicest she had a cake that was beautiful and I fell in love with the cake. the cake was delicious. I just want to say thank you very much and it was a blessing For you to make my cake for my special day.“

“Great food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“I was in Tremé for four days, and I ate and drank coffee at Fatmas each and every single one of those days. The coffee was amazing. The food was delicious and their pastries were just beautiful. I loved the atmosphere and the outside seating. There’s even a couple of open windows where you can just stand and look out and feel the breeze while you’re waiting for your food. I wish that I lived closer so that I could go there every day.“

“Amazing Italian cookies the best I’ve ever had in my life over 100 year-old Sicilian recipe. They are a treat. I love them and buy them all the time.👍“

“Me encanta lo fresco que se siente el pan y el sabor ni se diga 😍❤️“

“My friends and I got informed about this little hole in the wall from a waitress at Smitty’s Seafood Restaurant in Kenner. I am so blessed that we were told about this great bakery. Very sweet ladies were very helpful and knowledgeable. We got back to Houma and cut into the first one, we bought 2. Moist, yummy and fresh. 2 thumbs way up!“

“I ordered the Cream Cheese King cake. Knowing that it was traveling from LA to GA, I was a little leery about how it would taste. It came without the icing and the sprinkles, but the packets of these items were included. I iced and decorated it and served to friends. It was DELICIOUS! Best king cake I have ever had...and I have had many. It was moist, the cream cheese filling was perfect and the icing was amazing! I will be ordering again.“

“Their cupcakes are Made from scratch and are always fresh, and absolutely delicious. Their candles also smell amazing and last surprisingly long. 20/10

Kid-friendliness: Proves an atmosphere that makes you feel at peace. Also cupcakes. So...“
