Gambino's Bakery

I went to a wedding in braithwaite la this weekend Saturday)Austin Wedding,
Absolutely Loved the Brides cake but about 5hrs after eating it i was sick. Found out others were also sick. Mainly the ones who ate more of the icing, which is my favorite part of the cake.
Its Monday and still not 100%
Just wanted you to be aware. It may have stayed out of fridge too long or was contaminated.
But although i got sick, it was the most delicious cake!

Long standing bakery serving local favorites.

I purchased a stuff cream cheese king cake and well that's all I have to say it was gone in 4 days all by myself

Other than the cakes tasting amazing and the people are really nice. I put in an order on October 11th specifying what I needed for a certain date. All the details were in the email as well. On the day of my daughter’s birthday my cake was not made and the same exact questions that I’ve already specified were asked again. The lady on the other line did not work with me or want to make it better for the customer. I’ve ordered cakes with Gambino Metairie location for years and have always received beautiful cakes. The young lady who answered the phone was also the lady who was emailing me as well she was of no help and told me I had just responded late when clearly the emails from October 11th specified everything I needed. Facebook, twitter and instagram will all hear my horrible experience from Gambino bakery Metairie location.

Love Gambino's. I usually have to have King Cakes shipped to me because I live so far away. It was great to be able to go to the bakery in person.

We drive all the way from Houston just for these cookies , that’s how AMAZING they are! Our favorite cookies used to be in Memphis, but Gambino’s has taken the crown. They have the perfect balance of crispness and softness, and you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients. What we love most is that they’re not overloaded with sugar; instead, the natural flavors of the cookie shine through. Purely divine and absolutely worth the drive!

Do not order for delivery. The wedding cake was delivered 6 days after wedding. The cake and pastries were crushed, melted, and spoiled due to heat. They take no responsibility and respond with it is a FedEx problem.

My wife ordered a king cake and it came yesterday. We opened it today to decorate and it was all broken in the box. But we thought we would still eat it. It was extremely dry. My wife is from New Orleans and has lived here for 71 years and she said it was the worse she has ever had. We will never do that again. The cake was very dry and broken like I said. There was not any taste of cinnamon what so ever. We live in Slidell and I can say for sure it does not even come close to Randazzos king cake. We will never order from there again. If you are reading this save your money and time and wait for the good king cake when they come out. We are going to feed the rest to the raccoons when they come around tonight.

Not a happy customer -
I just picked up a half and half doberge cake that I ordered in person in the store to make sure it was done correctly-the cost was almost $60. I noticed right away that EVERY cake in the case was decorated with bright white icing. A half and half doberge cake does not look good with white icing! None of the cakes looked very pretty with bright white icing. To my memory these cakes were always decorated with light green and then the happy birthday and name was in a different color if you wanted it.
I requested a half lemon half chocolate cake with a fleur de lis in light blue, Happy Birthday to my son, stating that all the decoration should be light blue. I noted that I didn't like the white icing at all.
Well - I just picked it up and the only light blue icing on the entire cake is the fleur de lis - the rest of it is all white. When I told the cashier this was wrong, she pulled out the receipt and showed that the instructions said light blue fleur de lis-nothing about the rest of the decorations! How would I know that the instructions written by the woman helping me with the order was not correct, when our conversation definitely stressed that the decorations would all be light blue?!
I am not happy with this cake - and the last cake for my grandson's christening wasn't very pretty either as it was decorated in bright royal blue, not baby blue, as one would expect.
I have always bought family cakes from Gambino's. I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren - I am over 70 years old - so that's a lot of cakes over the years. This may be the last cake I get there?

Ordered a cake online and it arrived all messed up. I would leave a photo but am not given the option. I recommend just going in to get you cake and do not order online for delivery.

UPDATE - A customer service representative responded to my email and the order has been refunded. I appreciate their courteousness and responsiveness, and rating has been updated to reflect that.

I ordered a king cake for my husband's birthday, and it arrived ruined. Now I have no cake for him, and there is only voicemail when I call. This king cake was the only thing my husband requested for his big day. Extremely frustrated and disappointed.
