“Bought some of their cookies at the New Orleans Regional Black Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Holiday Party today. Delicious!!“

“best experience ever will be back nd the cake melt in ur mouth🤤🥰🥰“

“The food is really good - especially the almond croissant.
The service was great, as everyone was really friendly. (But ofc it would be nicer if you could just take a seat and if the waiters come to your table.)
The cafe's interior could honestly be a bit cosier and, hence, more welcoming, because it looks a bit like a barn. 🥲“

“Parkway will ALWAYS be a favorite for me and my family. We absolutely love their poboy’s. This place is #1 in our opinion ❤️“

“My twin sister and I would get a half chocolate/half lemon doberge for our birthday, until I brought a brownie cake . Now it’s Brownie cake, soo good .“

“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“

“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 😏🎉👑“

“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!!“

“Ordered a birthday cake for myself from here. It was my first time ordering, but I wanted to try and see how I liked it. Ordering was extremely easy and no trouble at all. Service has been incredibly friendly. Pick up was a breeze with absolutely no issues at all. Staff was sweet (pun intended) and I was greeted and assisted quickly. I asked for a baseball themed almond cake with buttercream and dark green writing. I wasn’t able to cut into my cake immediately after getting home, but I was able to a couple of hours later. It is delicious! The cake itself is not overly sweet, but moist and flavorful. The frosting is smooth, not grainy or chunky. Absolutely delicious cake and I will order for them again! I can’t say anything bad about my first experience with Baes Bakery but I will be back for my next birthday cake!“

“Levee is so clearly the best bakery in the city. From the sweet items to the savory things like the breakfast sandwiches or sausage rolls, they really are just the very best. They use fresh, seasonal ingredients that taste like they were harvested that morning. The technical excellence in their baked goods is up there with the best in the country. Just a fantastic staple, long may it reign.“

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

“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“Martha delivered a beautiful cake for my daughters birthday. Not only was the cake beautiful but it tasted amazing! I definitely recommend Nolita Bakery!“

“Beautiful setting and perfect food. Best avocado toast I have had in a while. The croissant was flaky and the orange juice fresh. Superb!“

“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.“

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

“The best Turkey club sandwich I’ve ever had here, everything on the menu looks delicious“

“Assumably good coffee, best croissants you’ve ever had.
The other day, while enjoying a pastry on Leo’s patio, I listened in on a couple breaking up. Breakfast and a show!
Every Friday, I pick up one of their amazing sandwich loafs for my girlfriend so she’ll stay in love with me.“

“this place is great I tried breakfast one time now I must stop for breakfast every day I like this place cleanest is priority in this place restrooms are clean I love this place I wish you can have a location in Kenner near future thank you for the great service Luis monterroso chucho“

“Perfect cookies for any occasion.“

“Fresh Baguettes, bagels, English muffins, bread!“

“While other wedding cake bakeries told me no to the flavors I wanted, multiple flavors on the different layers, and even the design, Jenny said yes and that's easy. After being told no so many times and tasting dry, flavorless cakes, I was at a loss on where to get a wedding cake. A coworker recommend Sweet Life and I contacted Jenny and we set up a tasting for all the flavors I was interested in. We ended up getting 3 different flavors for the different layers because they were so good that I couldn't choose. Jenny also told me the design I picked out was easy for them to do. The cake was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I was very glad I asked for pieces of the cake to be brought to our suite so we could try some of the delicious wedding cake since the rest of the cake was eaten at the reception.“

“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.“

“The best experience ever!! maravilloso biscocho y hermoso, todos mis invitados quedaron encantados, tanto por lo bello como por el sabor. Muchas gracias Juliana Gourmet. La picadera de Ju estuvo fabulosa también.“

“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.“

“I love TM Breads and Pastries! They serve high-quality chai, and their pastries are deliciously balanced. It’s a great spot for a morning meetup with friends or even to get some work done. Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: They do have alternative-milk options!“

“We drove from Lafayette to Metairie just to go to Everyday KETO To Go! This little bakery is every type 1 diabetic/ Celiac’s dream come true! Everything was 5 carbs or less. Our son has throughly enjoyed everything we splurged on so far from cheesecake to cookies, pancakes and more. They were so sweet and welcoming, we’ll definitely be back!“

“It’s a seasonal pastry but I love it with a cup of Joe ☕️“

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

“I saw this lovely place on Uber Ears and decided to give it a try. I AM HOOKED! Unfortunately I don’t go to that area of town often but I may have to in the future! The Bavarian Cream and Venetian Cream iced coffee drinks are off the chain! But the best is the Wellness Tonic…their signature wellness shot with tonic water and ice! Chef’s kiss!“

“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 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!“

“Great staff with great breakfast and lunch selections!“

“I was surprised at how delicious the pizza was-and so fairly priced.! The restaurant was clean and the workers took good care of us! Loved it!“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“We try something new every time and it never disappoints! If you live in this area, this should be your go to when cravings tacos or just chips & salsa!!!“

“The Best Praline’s and My God the Crab Beignets . Ive never tasted crabmeat in beignets , until I went to French Quarter Festival . THE BEST, in the Entire in New Orleans . Thank you 🙏🏾 All. God Bless the Owner Mr. Robert. Overflow ! The Original Praline from the Old School.“
