They have amazing selections of pastries, cookies, desserts and more. The mini eclair was absolutely delicious. The pastry shell has a pleasant, light, crunchy texture. The filling was just right. Not too sweet, not too dense. We will visit again.

My mom and I came for lunch and ordered the mufaletta Panini. The salads, eclair, and almond cookies are delicious. We were given so much food we took the panini home for dinner. We love Nonnas!!!

King cake, petit fours, doughnuts, apple slices, catering (mini muffuletta), ALL GREAT.

We all agree that Nonna's has the best king cake. We had three this year for a party : Nonna's, Manny's, and Haydel's. Nonna's was completely gobbled up within the first 30 minutes. There was plenty of the other two left behind. I'm not sure what makes her version so much better? The icing isn't as sweet or maybe the dough is just lighter? Either way it's the best.

*King Cake Review!!*Are y'all sick of my king cake reviews yet? I hope not because I have quite a few more. This one is a little different, though, because it's for a shipped king cake. Now before you purists get your Mardi Gras feathers in a ruffle....yes, I do know all about the Randazzo family drama (if you don't, Google it) and the different bakeries that encompass said drama. There have even been lawsuits over the Randazzo family name and you might very well have had a Randazzo's king cake from a bakery with an entirely different name. One thing is for sure, whether it has the Randazzo's name or another one entirely (hi...Caluda's) their recipe is the bomb and is the very best in alllll of king cake land, and that is a hill I'm willing to die on. I have always wondered if a king cake that has been shipped is just as amazing as if you had gone and picked it up yourself. I have shipped king cakes before and my recipients always say they're good but let's face it, they might just be saying that to spare my feelings. And besides, a shipped cake that's below par is better than no king cake at all...am I right? So I was never positive if I could trust they were just as good. This year I shipped one to my brutally honest kid who just moved out of state. I knew she'd tell me the truth, whether I wanted to hear it or not. After her initial elated excitement of getting a piece of Louisiana shipped straight to her door several states away, she and her hubby dug in and she said, and I quote, "mom it's so good, so fresh and soft, so unbelievably amazing I feel like I'm in Louisiana right now eating it" and continued to rave about it all day to me, Facebook, her new neighbors, literally everyone. Then the next day (and this is the best review of all) she asked me if I wanted to see something embarrassing. Of course I do, lol. She texted me a picture of the king cake, (knife in the box...of course) with only one tiny little slice left. They DEVOURED it in less than 12 hours. I rest my case, your honor.If you have out-of-town people who love Louisiana, and are missing it like crazy, do them a solid and ship them a king cake and ship it from one of the Randazzo's. It's pricy but so worth it! My daughter actually cried real tears getting that king cake delivered. Do it y'all!

Picked a king cake up from this bakery that was being sold at Llama's Seafood Market & Eatery in Mandeville yesterday and it was the driest king cake I've ever had. Never again.

Oh man this was delicioussss!!! I has never had a King Cake before and one of my friends had them next day air it out for me and my family (In California). We all love it!!!! Thank you so much for sending it out to us and making last minute accommodations. I have always wanted to go to Louisiana especially during Mardi Gras to see the culture and the environment. I look forward to being able to come in the future and experience everything in person. For now we got a sweet taste of Louisiana even though we're a great distance away! I super appreciate it and now I can say I have tried LA king cake!!! Thank you so much for the goodies. Looking forward to trying out much more in the future.

I recently ordered a king cake online for pickup at the Covington location. My confirmation email listed my order as curbside pickup and directed me to call the store upon arrival. When I arrived at the store and called today, the woman who answered the phone sharply told me that they no longer offered curbside pickup and when I tried to respond, she hung up on me. I had planned, what I believed to be a curbside pickup order, around my toddler's nap time and she was asleep in the backseat when I called. So at that point, I sat in the parking lot for 45 minutes before I could wake up my child and go in to collect my order. Once inside, the staff seemed as if they were puzzled by an online order and questioned if it had been paid for online or if I needed to pay them in-store. I assured them the order was paid for when it was placed online and was ultimately able to receive my king cake. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I'm not sure if their online ordering system and email confirmations need to be updated to reflect the lack of curbside service or if their staff needs to be educated on their policies surrounding online orders, but regardless they should work on their customer service. I have never had a vendor hang up on me while discussing an order. It was completely out of line and I probably should have called back and canceled at that point, but I was not confident that anyone at this location would be able to figure out how to refund my order. I will not be ordering anything from Nonna Randazzo's in the future, either in-store or online. Save yourself the time and headache and order from a bakery that knows what they're doing and understands how to treat people.

I ordered King Cakes a few years ago from Nonna's. They did not fulfill the order and after a lot of complaints they finally refunded my money. They are not very friendly or customer oriented. I would never do business with them again...too many other great options.
I order oyster patties every year and this is the best dozen I have gotten in many years. You can take the top off, clean the inside and NONE have fell apart, I can use the entire dozen.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️??????? KUDOS TO THE PASTRY CHEF

This place is clean, the desserts are delicious, and everything is surprisingly cheap! We ordered five donuts and two merengue cookies and they only cost eight dollars. It's not a donut shop, but it's donuts are the best. They also brake their own king cakes during Mardi Gras season which are scrumptious. Next time I visit this area I'll be back.

Without a doubt the worst baked goods we have ever had. After reading all the sterling reviews, we expected a tasty, delicious treat. Completely wrong. We bought king cake, assorted cookies and cupcakes for a birthday party while visiting our son. All of it was disgusting. Nothing more than tasteless bread swimming in whipped sugar frosting. Walmart makes better pastries. This is super diabetes in waiting. So much sugar content as to require that you scrape it off. You are forewarned. Avoid wasting your money at this place. No wonder people in Louisiana are morbidly obese after eating this garbage!

I have stopped in a few times with family that live in the area. Have tried the donuts, king cake and fried pies. All were excellent. If I lived in the area, my diet would be in trouble!

I have always purchased birthday cakes from Nonna. The last three were not fresh. I did notify them of the last cake being stale and the icing having a strange taste. I was given another cake. It was not as stale but not fresh either. I have been buying baked goods from Randazzo since 1965 in their Chalmette location. They were always fresh. Needless to say , I am done with Nonna for birthday cakes.
