Gambinos has gotten over priced. One simple sugar cookie $4. White icing with a few sprinkles. $48 for a dozen. I think not!

Smells amazing the moment you walk in. Love coming here for a delicious treat (no nut brownies are my favorite!). Doberge is also good. Also got my wedding cake from here a few years ago. Delivered promptly and it was beautiful. Exactly what I wanted for my cake.Kid-friendliness: My kids love coming here. Staff is always patient and kind to them.

Use to buy the cake slices that were of good size now they cut the slices in half for the same price, also purchased a large strawberry filled cake that hardly any filling between the slices, quality and quantity have gone down in the past year.

I needed a birthday cake with a weeks notice. Went to the normal places and they were either closed for Mardi Gras or I was giving them to short of a notice. I had not been to Gambino's in a great while. I saw it driving home the day of my bakery search. They were not only open but told me that there would be absolutely not problem with my order or the short period of time. The party was on a Sunday so I was able to pick it up the day of the party. It was ready on time and absolutely beautiful and delicious. I got so many compliments on it at the party. Everyone wanted to know where it was from. The only reason I am given the food a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because I also purchased a cream cheese King Cake which was lacking in the cream cheese and the icing just fell off. However, I will go there in the future for all my cake needs.

Great King Cakes and Petite Fours. My wife had to King Cake to take back to home even though it meant having to carry it on the plane. She also got a dozen Petite Fours. Family back home were in heaven when it was shared with them.

I ordered four (4) cakes online to arrive the day before the event (as recommended by their website). They arrived late and were horribly smushed!!! When I contacted the bakery with my disappointment, I was originally told by Jackie-Sue that I would receive a full refund. Weeks have passed, several messages have gone back and forth, and today, I received a message from Ashley acknowledging that even though there was a "glitch" in their system, she could only offer a partial refund of the shipping. I called to speak with someone in person and was pretty much told that they are not responsible for their product after Fedex picks them up. I'm terribly disappointed in the outcome -- both in the product and the customer service. It was an expensive lesson but one I intend to continue to share.

I ordered a 2 pack of King cakes for a Mardi Gras celebration. We were so excited to have authentic King cake, right from the source, and to see who would get the baby for good luck and also who would have to buy the cakes for next year! We finished both cakes, and while they were tasty, neither of them contained a baby! This was a huge disappointment. I could have gone to a local bakery and paid far less and they would have had a baby in them. I paid $46 for the 2 pack PLUS $29 to have them shipped! That's a big expense for that much of a let down. I emailed them to let them know what happened and how disappointed we were. I asked for a refund, maybe not a full refund, but at least something since they were not as described. They replied saying they were willing to ship new ones. What am I going to do with 2 more cakes when the celebration is over. They clearly missed the point. I emailed twice after their reply and told them that I do not need new cakes but I do feel they should give some sort of compensation for the false advertising that there would be babies in these cakes. They have not replied to either of my messages, so now, not only were the cakes not what we expected, but they also have not provided good customer service. I will not be ordering from them again. Next year, I will order from a different bakery. This is very disappointing because I had heard good things about Gambino's and they let us down. The only reason my review isn't 1 star is because the cakes did taste pretty good, but not really any better than our local bakeries. Definitely not worth $75...

I wish I could give this place zero stars. First of all I ordered from the wrong place, I wish I would've ordered from Randazzlo's. But, I didn't know any better. Anyways, when I received the cake the packaging was in good condition, meaning that the it wasn't damaged in transit. When I opened the box, the flyer said Mardi Gras 2023... it's definitely 2024. The king cake had no cinnamon & no baby. The icing was opened and I only had 1 pack of sprinkles vs the 3. I reached out to the customer service email and of course, I never heard anything back. About a week later, I called them and I was able to get a refund. Hate this place.

The wedding cake they made for us was absolutely delicious! Our guests were raving about it and we had seconds the next morning! The entire team at Gambino's Bakery was professional and helpful with all of our questions and any changes that needed to be made. They delivered on time and were wonderful! Highly recommend!

Super disappointed to order $70 worth of king cake and not receive my order. The online ordering must be a scam or something because you can't contact anyone about your orders and get replies. I wish I wouldn't have made the order, now to spend more time on the phone with my credit card company to dispute this fraudulent company's charge.

Extremely dishearten that I have to write this review, but it needs to be known, especially for anyone that is using Gambino's shipping option.If I could, I would give them zero stars.I've had their King Cakes before as I was born and raised in Louisiana.Unfortunately, I enlisted and PCS overseas, but I always make a point to have a King Cake shipped to me.Everytime I recieved one, it was always overnighted, had dry ice packs, bubble wrapped. Whenever I would open those packages, the cake was perfect! Just if as I ordered them the same day!For this year, I decided to order two in advance for a birthday party.I requested the cakes be delivered on the 12th.On the 6th, I got an email saying that a label had been made for the package1st Red Flag.I thought nothing of it because maybe the label had to be made ahead of time.On the 8th, I got a notice that the package was picked up.2nd Red Flag.Again, I thought the cakes were just going to get here early.On the 11th, I got an email saying it still hasn't made to my area.Suddenly, on the eve of the 12th, the package arrived!Just in time for the party!When I went to open the package, I was overwhelmed with the smell of yeast and strong odor of spoiled food.These are photos of the cakes.It was nothing but a spoiled mushy mess.I had to run to a random bakery at the last minute to get a store bought cake and hide the cakes, but one of the guest found them in the kitchen.If I had known this was going to happened, I would have never spent $100 on this.It was hot, melted, and crushed. It's unsafe to eat!For comparison, I have also included a picture of the previous King Cake I got shipped to me from home.It's a night and day difference.
