“Amazing food! Hip vibe! Avacado toast was the best!!“

“Quick n easy line for king cake. Good bao also. Will be back to try the bahn mi“

“I’m from out of town and wanted to grab some cake or cupcakes for my husbands birthday. Some friends and I walked over to Bittersweet Confections and took in all the delish smells ! The place was clean, they offered water & everything looked amazing. We had the best service and everyone we interacted with was so kind!! These cupcakes we had were AMAZING!!! My friends got a scone and a brownie and they said they were so good as well! I love that they had some local jewelry, books, and other cute things as well. I picked up a child’s book for my daughter, she will love it! They also had cake toppers and candles with a match book, which is a great touch!

I highly recommend checking this place out. Thank you so much!!“

“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.“

“We were staying nearby for a few days and visited the bakery several times. We tried several different treats, and my favorite was the chocolate caramel croissant roll! It was heavenly! My only regret is that I didn’t get a king cake to bring home!“

“The best king cake in NOLA 💚⚜️💜 Helpful friendly staff and delicious treats!“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Food on my daughter’s birthday was great!! And Don Jose is on top of everything. Thank you so much. 💖💖“

“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!“

“Great food and coffee. Recommended!!“

“Unbelievable and life changing bakery“

“The Royal Cakery nailed both our wedding and grooms cake. We showed them pictures to mix together and they understood the assignment. The cakes themselves were absolutely delicious too and kept their freshness for days! I will be using them in the future for birthdays, etc.“

“Awesome crew. Great food and service“

“Celtica has fast become our new favorite breakfast place. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and prices are reasonable. The vibe is a pleasant mixture depending on the time of visit but mostly very friendly mixture of gen x and millennials. The only hang up i have is the available seating, this place needs more seating as it is gaining popularity quickly.“

“My brother and I ordered for Mother's Day and it was a unique gift she loved! I tried a clean house, a garden of flowers but at the end of the day, mom wanted chocolate!“

“We stopped into O’Delice French Bakery for a snack. The atmosphere is very neat and fun, similar to a French Bakery. The nice lady behind the counter explained which pastries contained tree nuts. The lemon tart was delicious and we were very pleased with our choice.

“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.“

“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.“
