The staff are beyond nice, so helpful and professional. A must get are their stuffed cheesecake berries! You will be addicted after the first bite. These berries are dipped in white chocolate covered in a shortcake/shortbread crunch and stuffed with cheesecake. My mind was blown, that cheesecake is top tier. Run don't walk to this spot!

This is such a lovely bakery/sweet shop. Tucked away in a small shopping center in Kenner is this…read moresmall Black woman owned business that's cranking out some truly delicious, homemade confections. I arrived right around opening time and the owner, Deja, and her team were hard at work rolling cooking dough and prepping fruit. I was warmly greeted by a staff member and browsed the cases to choose my treats. It's a small shop, so not necessarily a spot you would come to and stay a while. You can do pick-up for orders placed in advance or just walk-in and grab your favorite treat; they do offer a small table in the establishment to enjoy your items right then and there if you just can't wait. They have a wide assortment of sweets--cookies, cakes, candied fruit, cupcakes, you name it. They even have chicken salad for folks looking for a savory, light lunch option. I tried the strawberry shortcake cupcake, tres leches, cheesecake salad, and ooey gooey. The tres leches and cheesecake salad were my favorites! I'd never had tres leches before and I loved it--it was slightly spongy, incredibly most, and not too sweet. It was topped with what I think was a whipped icing and a half of strawberry. I'm not sure what traditional tres leches is supposed to taste like, but this one made me hug myself and rock side to side a few times, lol. The cheesecake salad was very unique. It was bite-sized pieces of cheesecake with a cookie butter crust (OMG!) over a bed of fruit and topped with a cookie butter drizzle. Talk about good, you hear me?! The ooey gooey and strawberry shortcake cupcake were also delicious. I've never quite known what ooey gooey is made of, but it dang sure is tasty. The serving sizes are also very generous; even the cupcake was enough to share between two people if you wanted to (but it's so good, you won't want or need to). All of my goodies cost me less than $25 which I thought was pretty good considering there was more than enough to share. I can't wait to stop back by the next time I'm the area, to try something new!

Yea it was a 50/50 for me, honestly. Got 4 doughbites (basically a petti four sized piece of cake) and one slice of boozy cake and it was $26!

The boozy $12 per slice cake just tasted like a churro w cinnamon and couldn't actually taste whatever alcohol was used to make it.

And while since you're already here, be sure to grab some deliciously potent Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da) to energize your day. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are legit as well for a quick meal on the go. Have a sweet tooth? Their display is full of the most beautifully crafted and yummy pastries/sweets/etc - pick your guilty pleasure! I like to order their cakes for special occasions. Crowd faves are the fruit chantilly cake or the pandan cake- the cakes are light, airy, and not overly sweet. The Chez Pierre staff are always welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about all their menu items. I've only had positive experiences and I know you will love them too! This is your reminder to hurry over for the pate chaud- I promise you will thank me later :)

Address: 3208 Clearview Pkwy, Metairie, LA 70006. Items: Mini Linzer Torte (x2), Almond Ganache, Medium Fruit Tart, Regular Napoleon. Total: $23.13. Every item tasted stale and poorly made. The Napoleon was soggy and bland--nothing like the crisp layered pastry it should be--and went straight into the trash. The fruit tart and linzer tortes were dry, and the almond ganache lacked freshness and flavor. If you're going to call your bakery French, at least have a chef trained in classic French pastry techniques preparing the pastries. I'm surprised by the high rating given this experience.

However, this review is about customer service. I took my sister-in-law in during this Mardi Gras to buy her first real King Cake. (How does that happen? She's in her 50's!) They didn't have lemon (!), so we settled on Bavarian Creme. Bad move. Credit where credit is due: Quick check out even though there was a solid line. The first two bites we each took that evening we were taken aback. Tasted like rum was added to the creme. We had seen other boxes marked that alcohol was used, but this one wasn't marked this way so we were comfortable buying it. We both laughed at "who puts rum in Bavarian Creme? New Orleans!" But we now had a cake we would not eat. The voice message I left the next day went unanswered. We gave the cake away to some young guys my husband works with. She picked up an apple King Cake on her way home, but I'm good with taking my King Cake business elsewhere. And if the argument is there wasn't rum in it it just tasted like it, then someone should have called to say so. (It was still an unpleasant flavor for a Bavarian Creme.)
