“Oh my gosh! I stopped in here on a whim just for one doughnut and I was treated to the most excellent amazing, friendly family like service I've ever experienced. The doughnut was fantastic! And I even got a little lagniappe. This is the definition of a family business. They were so so so sweet. I want nothing but good things for this young couple and their cute little donut shop.“
“This cake came in the mail.!! I got my King Cake on the exact date they told me. It came very fresh, Not stingy on the icing or colored decoration sprinkles. The cake was absolutely delicious and fresh, Full of cream cheese. We be getting our King Cakes here from now on. Excellent ..!!“
“These cookies are definitely made with love. I also especially love the secure packaging and personalized messages written on the container. Might I also add that every delivery that I've order have ALWAYS arrived warm. I've ordered several times from UberEats and once directly through the site (and I assume an actual employee delivers them if you order through the site). The quality was nothing short of amazing. 10/10“
“Not to be mean and disrespectful, but this company cannot be a miracle worker. If you couldn't afford the cake, don't go in those people shop and then make crazy accusations about their products. I think everything from the business and employees will never disappoint you. The customer service is outstanding, those young men have you wanting to buy the entire store out.. I do and will continue to buy from this business and I will continue to tell every and anyone if you are going to New Orleans make sure you go to Harahan for some sweets from Chosen Cakes and Catering. I live in Oklahoma but I travel a lot and that is one of my favorite states. Don't let misable people deter you from tasting one of the Southern most best cakes and catering.“
“La Madeleine never disappoints on catering orders. Ordering online is easy and the staff are friendly and willing to accommodate. Shawanda was a big help today when placing my order. She was kind and customer oriented and gladly updated my order. My order was for 40, and this is not my first time ordering. They do a great job all the time!“
“They Got Vegan Poor boys!!!Parkway Bakery is a true gem for poor boys enthusiasts. Their wide selection, steeped in tradition and history, offers a nostalgic and delicious experience.

“Willa Jean was one of the top suggested places by friends when visiting New Orleans. Running out of time, I went for a quick pastry since there's a to-go bakery counter near the large dining room. Ordering a blueberry muffin, they warmed it up for me. It was large and really good. It filled me for several hours!“
“This is one of the best lunch cafes I have ever been to! I am a vegetarian and sandwich options are always so limited anywhere else. So many options I had a hard time deciding. Even if you’re not vegetarian you should check this place out!!“

“Best beignets ever! You also can't go wrong with their other delicious desserts. This was recommended by locals and now I see why. We are always bringing some home everytime. Light and flaky, not thick. The Rampart location has more selection, but you can grab your favorites in the French Market“
“What a great little bakery and coffee shop! A small slshop but it's whimsical and clean. A small selection that is done very well. The prices I found to be reasonable too. Got the brioche buns and the olive bread. Both were delicious The pastries looked tempting. I will be ba“
“Wow. That is my immediate take away. I just devoured the best savory scone I have ever tasted. It was so incredible that after I finished it I wanted to call them to tell them. I stopped in for my first time this morning after reading about Levee and living close by. Service, staff, and atmosphere were fantastic but that scone .... Just Wow.“
“Very good French sweet shops! We went two times and had vallina, chocolate, mango gelato . And had one chocolate eclair and one macaroon.The quality was so good and definitely have to try it!And also want to share they offer very nice and very clean bathroom here, the waitress was very friendly.“
“My first time here. I got an iced pistachio latte with oatmilk and my husband got a frozen mocha latte with oatmilk. We live on the northshore and had to go to the southshore for something and instead of stopping at Starbucks, we wanted to try something new! Definitely recommend. Customer service was great and our coffee order was delicious!“

“Absolutely a great, delicious, and quick! Food was one of kind. MUST try atleast once... Our first time here and we will be back tomorrow morning! The team member behind the counter was friendly and personable.Vegetarian options: Egg and cheese options.“
“I love this coffee shop! A little pricey, but the coffee is great and so is the food. My go-to is the BLT and whipped espresso drink. The backyard/courtyard is super nice on a sunny day. Wheelchair accessible. There were tampons in the restroom, my ram in the bush today ??“
“Fancy but not bougie! Everything is delicious tho I wish the fig date cheese loaf had all those goodies running through it not just on top. Flavor and bread quality was exceptional tho!! Space was welcoming and staff were friendly and helpful! We devoured the baguette, croque monsieur was delicious and I LOVED the freshly squeezed orange juice!! Great touch!! I’ll be back!“
“We were looking for breakfast place and did not notice that this spot is vegetarian when we got there. When I saw the menu I was kind of disappointed, but when I tried their food, ohh god, this is the best bread I had in years. Food, service, everything, so even if you are afraid of places without meat like me, don't be, because they do have some delicious stuff everyone would like.“
“This shop is delightful! The pies are stellar, from sweet to savory. We visited from KC and stayed across the street, were able to visit a few times. The hand pies are insanely good, unlike anything we have at home, unfortunately! We bought several mini-pies to take to a family dinner and all were a huge hit. The owners are great. Thank you!“
“Popped into Bae's just to look and walked away with soooooo much. Beautiful variety of goods. A little something for everyone's taste. Not only was everything so beautiful and beautifully displayed, it was also super yummy. My fav was the lemon tart dessert, but I really like lemon so I may be a tad biased. Street parking only and soooo worth the trip there.“
“Y'all. This is THE place. Out of all the spots we tried while in New Orleans, this was by far the best and our favorite! I loved their grits and what they had to offer dessert-wise. I tell any of my friends who are visiting NOLA that they will always find a tourist restaurant around any corner, but they'll only need to find this place once to know they struck gold. My only regret was not coming back a second time before we flew out!“
“Friendly staff. Excellent bakery. Amazing drinks! I wish there were plenty more locations of this well thought out bakery. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the best king cake in all of New Orleans area too (Parisian cream cheese one)“
“The food at Mawi is so fresh and tasty. I’ve just recently been introduced to this restaurant and I’ve eaten her twice in one week. On top of having really delicious food at a fair price with generous portions, the owners and staff are above and beyond friendly. They take great care in preparing the food and maintaining a comfortable and clean environment! This is a very casual establishment - no fuss, no frills, just authentic goodness! Order at the counter and have fun taking your choice of table in the dining room. I’m a fan, would recommend a thousand times over and will continue to frequent this as a new go to eatery!Vegetarian options: Several dishes you can do without meat - just choose beans as your protein.Kid-friendliness: Casual environment you can definitely bring your kiddos to. Lots of seating options to accommodate all sizes of humans!“
“Best bakery in town.Tried several things from here. Staff were friendly and service was great. They are true bakers here.Apple butter biscuit tasted good, having moist fluffiness and good chew and a crunch to its too. It hold the slightest sweetness and would pair well to make biscuit sandwiches.Party bread, tasty bread with a solid bite to it, could pair well with olive oil or be made into a carrier for meats and cheeses, good call for a party.croissant was Rich and crunchy with the perfect amount of bite to it. The pecan center was well balanced and not overly sugary but rich like the met of the bread, smartly made, these folks can bake. I think the savory croissants must be something with their style of bread and I will have to try next time. Nice music playing and has a small patio area in the back.“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Haydel’s Bake Shop on Magazine St in New Orleans, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The King Cakes, a New Orleans staple, were nothing short of phenomenal. The perfect blend of flavors and the richness of the cake made it a true delight.What surprised me even more was the coffee. In a city renowned for its coffee culture with places like Cafe du Monde and Cafe Beignet, Haydel’s managed to outshine them. The coffee was robust and flavorful, complementing the sweetness of the King Cake impeccably.Service at Haydel’s was another highlight. The staff was not only friendly but also went above and beyond to make the visit enjoyable. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to assist made the overall experience memorable.If you're in New Orleans and craving an outstanding King Cake paired with exceptional coffee, Haydel’s Bake Shop on Magazine St is a must-visit. It has undoubtedly secured its place as a top contender in the city's vibrant culinary scene.“
“We came in on a whim and were so delighted with how good this was! We had crisp cucumber salad, mini steamed pork buns, spicy crawfish pocket dumplings, and Szechuan hot & spicy dumpling soup. Everything was so good, especially the soup and surprisingly the cucumbers (my husband doesn't even like cucumbers but enjoyed these). Especially considering the price, this was a really nice lunch. Service was pretty quick here! But also be aware, this is not a place to bring a large group to. It is tiny and can really only seat like 2-4 at a time, maybe 5 if you don't need the elbow room. Definitely better for a quick lunch date than a group meal.“
“I had ordered cookies, and after an hour they still weren't delivered turn out the driver had brought them to the wrong house. Not only did they refund my money but they sent out another order. The manager was very nice and understanding.“
“Ohhh myyyy! I was in town for the weekend and my Uber driver mentioned this place. He was awesome and stopped here so we could grab some donuts. This place is adorable, smells amazing, and it was nearly impossible to choose because they all looked incredible. My favorite was the strawberry cheesecake! Delicious and worth every calorie!!?“
“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.“
“This place is absolutely amazing!! We got several empanadas to try. Such a cool find. The staff was friendly and it had a cool New Orleans vibe but different. You can sit and enjoy the views of magazine street and the spinach and artichoke empanadas will make you lick the plate. Hands down awesome“
“I bought their guava and cheese king cake this week, it was delicious! I liked that it was NOT drowning in icing. Just the right amount to add sweetness without going overboard. I think guava was also an excellent choice for a filling. I would definitely recommend. I also picked up a couple of empanadas, they were also very tasty. I am interested in trying some of their other baked goods.“
“Update: the Reese's flavor is not really good. Skip it.IMOBest flavor: Lemon2nd place: white chocolate raspberry3rd place: red velvetService is always great at this location. I do wish they would have samples out everyday or more often like other locations.“
“We were travelling from DFW for a surprise birthday bash. I called 6 or 7 bakerys in the area and Haydel's was the only one to accomodate. Not only were the very kind but she took my vision to another level. The cake was amazingly moist and light, not to mention beautiful. Thank you all! We were more than pleased!“
“Fantastic! All aspects of food and service were great. My phone died wish I got more pics but either way you'd have to be there to experience what I did. So put your phones down and go! Definitely worth the time your belly will be happy you did“
“If I could give this atmosphere a 10 star- I would! Every holiday is just magically with amazing decor. I love this place. Coffee choices 5/5, gelato is 5/5! Breakfast 10/10- the waffle was the best I’ve ever had. Bagels were fine but the breakfast croissant was “
“Fav breakfast place without a doubt.All the staff are 5 star humans and I like them more than any other places around! And the food is always amazing. I regularly get the Tuscan bagel and it’s so delicious.Couldn’t recommend laurel street bakery enough!They will take little things you like (such as a bit extra toasted or just egg whites) and implement them without the slightest sign of annoyance like I’ve experienced in some other spots.If you haven’t been here def come try them out!“
“We just came back from France again and I was complaining how much better everything is over there. Standards down here in nola are extremely low so when I go somewhere I don’t expect anything special in regards to customer service “you won’t get a hello or thank you most the time”, and the food isn’t nearly as good as people think it is. Nor is it priced accordingly for the quality. I find everything pretty meh down here for the price.However, with all the negativity there are a few positives. Bellegarde and their euro sandwich. Currently sitting at 6.50 it’s a normal deal considering in France they were around 5 euro. Bellegarde’s baguette is one of the best also in the city. I rank it up there with breads on oaks in terms of crust, quality and taste.“
“Coffee is really good. All food is made fresh and in-house. Really unique flavors and options! Delicious lunch options with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Plenty of seating and even offers covered outdoor seating. Definitely recommend!“
“The pastries were delicious.I visited New Orleans for three days and started every morning with a freshly made sweet roll and cup of invigorating coffee. The owner and staff were so bright and friendly. Loved the set up and really enjoyed the outside space! Try the satsuma bars too! They’re heavenly! And there is a cute little bookshelf for the kids to check out too! And dog friendly!!“
“I dont know how I made it through my first 18 months of Keto not knowing about this place. I went with my daughter (who isn't keto) to pick up a few goodies for me to try. she asked me to get her cookies while there, and I warned her "it is keto" (she always complains about my "keto food") but she wanted it anyway. She got cinnamon cookies and I got key lime cookies plus a strawberry pie and olive bread. Everything was so good! I've tried baking my own keto baked goods for the lady year and a half and crumbly or too soft baked goods is my biggest complaint. The texture and taste of everything I got was so good! To both of us. I will definitely be back.“
“this place was recommended by a friend...it did not disappoint....the food was tasty altho they ran out of the croissant I wanted to taste...yet my spinach quiche was delish!!!..the interior needs an upgrade yet that may be the charm of the place..rate a 3 for the interior...4 for the food and service and attention...keep up the good work people!!Wheelchair accessibility: my mom drove her scooter into the place“
“Cookies by design swept in and made my granddaughters day!I live in Indiana. My granddaughter has been sick.I called and they were more than accommodating.They were so kind and helpful and went over and above what any other business was willing to do.You made a little girl and her Grammy very happy!Thank you so very much.“
“Friendly, great environment and food was fabulous. We had brunch, with delicious mimosas made from freshly squeezed orange juice. Melt in your mouth pancakes, awesome breakfast sandwich, baked goods were top notch (that coarse sea salt- really next level). I suggest you get there early, but the wait moves quickly.“
“The lady was really helpful and patient with helping us decide what we wanted, since we weren't familiar with the products. It was obvious that they were busy but she never made us feel uncomfortable or rush us. She also gave us extra to taste after our purchases!! My best customer service experience in forever. Thank you!!!“
“The name of business is aptly named. It is located within another business Chicken Kitchen ? both black owned. Let me get get back to this scrumdillyumshushness!! I bought two hunks of cake the praline covered one and the red velvet. I saved the red velvet for me and WHAT!! in my Lol Jon voice WHAT!!! moist moist moist, this brought me back home to my Granma's house!!! Ike would have had to stop me from cramming 3 or 4 of these non portion controlled hunks a cake down my pie hole. Let me be the first one to tell you that this young lady's hands are blessed. Do not sleep on these creations you cannot go wrong. Please keep patronizing her and telling your family and friends about her. She deserves to have her own storefront. Let this baby..get her some bricks and mortar. She is talented with those treats...trust me!!!“
“Celebrated a friend's birthday in town and opted for the classic local cake.Pros:- Seamless online ordering, responsive phone service for changing pickup times - Very friendly staff- The birthday girl and the group enjoyed the cake, though I found it a bit too sweet for my taste.- The 6" half lemon/half chocolate definitely serves more than 6-8 people Cons:Not my preferred type of cake, but still glad I gave it a try“
“Sweet Life made my daughters cake for her quinceñera. We had over 160 people. Not a sad person in the place. The cake was perfect, the design was better than my daughter's vision, and they worked with us from start to finish to make it absolutely our dream. Did I mention it was delicious! The almond cake is perfection. We were beyond pleased with the experience. This is the third cake we have gotten here and plan to continue coming back.“
“La Louisiane did a phenomenal job on our wedding cake and groom's cake. We got so many compliments from guests not only on how beautiful they both were but how great they tasted also.Shannon was incredibly helpful and responsive at every step of the process, explaining all the different flavors and varieties during the tasting (so many great flavors it was almost impossible to choose!), providing multiple pricing options for different sizes, and working with me to bring my vision of the groom's cake to life!We 1000% recommend them for any couples getting married or planning special events in the area.“
“Luxe is my new fancy snack spot. Everything was EXCEPTIONAL: the food was AMAZING; the snowball ice was soft as butter, and the customer service was welcoming. I take my food seriously, and I seriously recommend this place for quick dates, girlfriend check-ins, and family experiences. Even been twice, and I intend to go again soon.“
“Visited here for the first time today. It was easy to miss because the sign off the street didn't say The Wandering Goat. I believe the sign said gelato and bakery. I parked in a spot near the pizzeria. Fortunately I didn't have to walk far to get to the bakery. I was expecting to see more baked goods. There were only about 5 or 6 that I could see. But maybe that had to do with the day of the week that I visited. I decided to try the strawberry Bundt cake. The owner said it was recently removed from the oven. I really enjoyed the cake. I initially thought it seemed a bit pricey. But after tasting the cake I realized it was definitely worth the price. I plan to return in the future to try other desserts.“
