We also tried a ham and cheese croissant, which had a flaky crust and a good amount of filling. Everything was packed carefully and still tasted fresh when we got home. It was a straightforward bakery visit with a good mix of sweet and savory options.

A co-worker of mine raved about how delicious Keller's King Cake Amaretto Walnut Cream Cheese is,…read moreand insisted that I give it a try. Since it's a local bakery, I thought, "Why not? I'm always up for supporting my community." So, I headed to one of their downtown locations on Friday after work to place my order. The cashier, Nyla, told me to come back the next day--Saturday--around 10 AM for pickup. Saturday rolled around, and I could hardly contain my excitement. I woke up early and eagerly counted down the minutes until my pickup time. I arrived at the bakery at exactly 10 a.m. and approached the counter to give my name for the order. However, my enthusiasm quickly turned into confusion when one of the staff members returned, unable to locate my order. She asked me for my full name again, which I provided, but after another five minutes, another woman from the back emerged, confirming they still couldn't find any record of it. I expressed my disbelief, explaining that I had placed my order with Nyla just the day before. In response, Riley, another staff member, sought out Nyla for clarification. Although Nyla acknowledged that my name sounded familiar, she seemed to avoid making eye contact with me, which added to my discomfort. After further searching with no results, Riley asked if I had the receipt. Unfortunately, I didn't bring it along, to which she coldly replied that without the receipt, they couldn't confirm whether I had actually paid for the cake. It struck me as absurd--when Nyla took my order, she never mentioned that I would need the receipt for pickup, nor did I anticipate that my name alone wouldn't suffice. I challenged Riley, asking what the point was of taking my full name if they couldn't keep track of their orders. She explained that during the busy Mardi Gras season, they had numerous orders to manage, which seemed to be an inadequate excuse for their oversight. After what felt like an intense and unnecessary interrogation lasting over 15 minutes, Riley finally handed me the coveted King Cake, but not without delivering a condescending remark: "I'm assuming you've paid for it," she said, her tone and facial expression dripping with skepticism. This comment stung, especially coming from someone representing a local business I was eager to support. On the drive home, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had been accused of theft. So, as soon as I got home, I searched for the receipt. Once I found it, I drove back to Keller's to clear things up and prove I wasn't stealing. Upon my return, I approached one of the staff members and confidently presented my receipt, stating, "Look, I paid for this King Cake yesterday; I'm not attempting to steal." I asked if they would take back the King Cake and refund my money. Just then, Riley appeared from the kitchen, acknowledging that they had indeed misplaced my order and she had spoken with her manager who offered an apology. However, I firmly told her that an apology was insufficient after being treated as if I were a thief. "Do you now believe me?" I asked, but Riley simply reiterated her apology while I expressed that my morning had been ruined by the entire experience. To make matters worse, the manager never took the initiative to come forward and address the situation or apologize to me directly. To the management and owner of Keller's Bakery, I have several pointed questions: First, why was this situation not handled with professionalism and care? The failure to manage it properly is disappointing. Second, what would have happened if I didn't have the receipt? Would my word not be enough to be believed? Does trust depend on factors like race or socio-economic status in your establishment? This entire experience has left me with a bitter taste from the treatment I received. I can say with certainty that I will never recommend Keller's Bakery to friends or coworkers, nor will I return to support a business that lacks fundamental values of respect and accountability.

Medium cake. Was able to get 15 two-inch pieces. Not sure how you'd be able to feed 25 with this cake.

And it is the most beautiful one I've ever seen and there is nothing little about it...there are so many books! If you are a book lover like me you will feel like you've died and gone to heaven. And just when you thought this place couldn't be any cuter you find out they do themes every week and reflect the theme into the delicious goodies. Themes like Bridgerton, Barbie, Harry Styles, Star Wars and Taylor Swift. SO much fun, so stinking adorable and the desserts aren't just gorgeous to look at, they are delicious, too.

Caroline's Cookies is one of those spots that instantly stands out because of how fun and creative the flavors are. The cookies are thick, rich, and taste homemade in the best way--soft in the center with just the right amount of sweetness. The Chantilly-inspired flavors are especially good and feel like a unique Louisiana twist you don't find everywhere. Everything I've tried has been fresh and indulgent, and the presentation is just as appealing as the taste. One thing to note: they do bake in a facility that handles nuts, so anyone with allergies should be cautious. Otherwise, it's a great local treat spot and definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for something special. read more

Well, at least the best on the planet that I've tried. They are divine. Soft shortbread crust with a cool, sweet and absolutely perfect lemon topping dusted with powdered sugar. They are so good that I've made it a habit to stop in here at least once a week for one. They carry lots of other yummy looking desserts but I can't pull myself away from the lemon bars. Try one! I know you'll love them like I do. There is one little warning though. You might want to check your shirt before you walk back into a public place after indulging in one. I made that mistake once and after several strange looks realized that because of all the powdered sugar on my shirt I looked like I had just walked out of an Al Pacino movie. Say hello to my little (lemony) friend. :)
