Bittersweet Confections

Had adorable experience visiting Bittersweet Confections during my vacation trip to NOLA. I read great reviews and happen to walk down on Christmas Eve to get a cake for my wife’s birthday. The experience and satisfaction exceeded my expectations and couldn’t thank enough for the wonderful gesture from the time I greeted and taking care of my need in offering candle and matches. Couldn’t be more merrier during the Christmas season. The store was so well organized and esthetic.

I love the Yelp events where you have week to take part. Visited one Friday during lunch and enjoyed the Classic Breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit. The plate did not disappoint as I sat and enjoy my breakfast while finishing up some last minute work. I purchased some freshly squeezed satsuma juice and two petit fours to take along with my complimentary cupcake. Let me just say, those petit fours were the best from a bakery I have ever had. I am not a sweets fan, but these had just the right amount of sweetness, they were moist and I loved the size of them. This is a great spot to come grab lunch and finish up some work, or catch up with friends. There is plenty seating inside, as well as some seating outside. Located downtown, there is only street parking, but if you are in the area, stop in for a sweet treat.

10/10 recommend this place! Their cupcakes are delicious and the staff is so friendly. I accidentally ordered for the wrong day and they went out of their way to help fill my order anyways. We will definitely be returning here next time we’re in NOLA!

Also, the iced chai was amazing!

This birthday cake was so amazing. Thank you for a great experience. The staff was patient with me on the phone when I had questions and walked me through the ordering process. The birthday cake was very moist and tasty as well. I had to stop myself before I end up a true big back.

They took everything off their menu for summer. Walked 30 mins to find out all you see online is not offered in the summer.

We got to try their Mississippi mudpie (which, incidentally, is not prepared on-site so sometimes is in limited supply) and their Petit Squares. Both desserts were very good. I would recommend ordering in advance.

On my last day in New Orleans (6/8/24), I called Bittersweet Confections just after 8 AM. I had wanted a Mississippi Mud Pie, having been unable to do so in Mississippi. Using Google, it seemed Bittersweet Confections was the only place that had it.

When I called, I was told that only one was available. The desserts are prepared at a separate facility, hence why the website asks for a business day in advance. With this, I placed my order for the one small pie. I also asked the lady (whose name I cannot recall) for suggestions on other local desserts, and she recommended the Petit Fours. Thus, I got the mud pie, and three Petit Fours -- one each for me, my brother, and sister. I picked them up a couple hours later, on our way to the airport.

We had the desserts just before flying out. For our final meal in NOLA, we couldn't have asked for anything better. Not to mention, for four nice desserts, we spent less than $20. I greatly appreciate Bittersweet Confections working with me and helping me out. If we're ever back in NOLA, we'll definitely order from them again.

Vegetarian options: Unless you don't eat eggs, go for the Mississippi Mud Pie & Petit Fours. They are authentic desserts from the Louisiana/Mississippi area.
