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

“We brought 6small Bundt cakes. As soon you open the container you smell the delicious flavor of the cake. I brought some to my cousin in Sunshine, La. They went crazy over them. They could not get over how moist & delicious. Everyone needs to treat themselves to a Nothing Bundt Cake. Mmmmm“

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

“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.“

“IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!!crab dip is to die for.the cookies were amazing! The CAKE!!! Never had a party where all the cake was gone some came back for thirds!! There are no words to describe how fresh and the FLAVOR was out of this world!!!! My new 1 stop party food place.“

“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 😏🎉👑“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Life has its bittersweet moments, and I’ve found one of the sweetest right here on Magazine Street. I’m in New Orleans for medical treatment for the next several months, and while my journey hasn’t been the easiest, I’ve discovered that kindness can be as comforting as chocolate.

A few dear friends ordered a dozen cupcakes from Bittersweet Confections, and when one of the owners, Cheryl, heard I was sick, she personally added me to their delivery route, just because. I can’t promise that kind of door to door service for everyone (I happened to live a few blocks away), but the gesture itself meant more than words can say.

I opted to pick them up and eventually, I ventured out for some fresh air and walked to the shop myself. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the kind of place where you instantly feel like a regular. Jake and Grace treated me (and everyone else) with genuine Southern hospitality. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in every cup of coffee and crumb of cake.

Now, technically, sweets are off limits for me right now but let’s just say resistance crumbled after one look at their cupcakes. I took a few bites of the Red Velvet and chocolate with a coconut frosting, and they were so good. The rest I shared with my nurses, who agreed that Bittersweet’s confections are pure medicine for the soul.

For now, I’m savoring the occasional breakfast and the comforting smiles that come with it. When I finish my treatment, you can bet I’ll be celebrating here one perfectly sweet bite at a time.

Bittersweet Confections is more than a bakery, it’s a reminder that kindness and connection are the sweetest things of all.“

“I can’t speak more highly about this Bakery! I have had EVERYTHING and I’m obsessed. They made a giant king cake 3 for my son’s birthday and it was phenomenal. Their day to day chocolate croissants, cookies, and bread have always been top tier. Along with having my favorite traditional king cake they will remain my favorite. 10/10 recommendation.“

“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.“

“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 absolute BEST King Cake I’ve ever had!! It’s not dried out and it has the perfect amount and flavor of cream cheese inside!“

“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.“

“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.“

“True customer service Exceeded expectations“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“The king cakes are AMAZING!!!! I've tried several things from this bakery and everything so far has been delish!! The people there are so friendly. Reminded me of going to McKenzie's as a child. Can't wait to get another king cake this weekend for the parades.“

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

“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.“

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

“Great planty outside seating and the nicest people. Delicious iced coffees, spinach and feta croissant, spicy shirmp nola-chés, and bread pudding. Definitely a must on your list if you're passing through the area.“

“Had I known about this place earlier I would have gained 10 pounds. Coconut layer cake, German chocolate cake, petit fours, pound cake all moist and oh so sweet. Next time in New Orleans I will have the glazed beignets. The one thing they ship are king cakes. I'm looking forward to having some.“

“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!“

“great food, clean place, quick and efficient“

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

“Awesome atmosphere with amazing owners who go out of their way to give doggo visitors plenty of love“

“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!“

“We had the Kouign-Amann pastry. Oh my goodness, was it fantastic and beautiful. One of the best pastries we have ever had. If you never had one of these, please indulge!!! And we had a wonderful discussion with Jean-Luc as well.“

“We loved it! Such a unique experience hidden away in New Orleans By Water area. It was recommended ny a friend. My dad lived in Germany for 8 years in the 70s, and was excited to see a place that served the food and beer he missed so much. A plus was the outside seating and the beautiful day. Service was great, food was great, and we can’t wait to go back!“

“We stopped by this morning and everything we tried was amazing!! The beignets were delicious and life changing, the king cake was the perfect amount of sweet and fluffy, and my husband was completely satisfied with his shrimp and grits that he ordered. We will definitely add this location to our regular stops when we travel through!“

“If you're lucky enough to have ever visited this place then you know why I say that you are lucky. Where else can you find good Texas toast for a dollar and just about any other product in there also is for a dollar? In addition to the ridiculously cheap wholesale prices the staff is amazing and friendly. Like the Dos Equis beer man was say I don't always eat bread but when I do I get it from here.“
