I came in on a weekday afternoon, expecting a coffee shop, and found a French bakery instead…read more Coffee is good, but the baked goods are truly memorable; a great array of croissants, tarts, cookies, brownies, and more exotic desserts are available, as well as a good selection of specialty and breakfast sandwiches. Seating and ambiance are a little limited, but counter service is friendly and efficient. If you're looking for quality desserts and baked goods, this may well be your place!

At one point I had to ask him to stop because I was having a hard time choosing which to take home. The lemon meringue croissant was perfect each flavor was light and just enough lemon. The brioche morning bun was so fresh it was still slightly warm when I bit into it. I would advise anyone to try them it would surely be more than one visit. I'm eager to go soon and try the fresh baked bread along with more sweet treats.

We were looking for an ice cream spot for my husband bday and found this spot…read more The ice cream was pretty good. The strawberry was actually good bc it didn't have all the food coloring and you cam tell it's not commercial ice cream. The girl behind the counter was friendly and patient. There was nice booths in there, some really big for large parties...nice! The store was clean. They have HUGE waffle cones, if I wouldn't have just eaten, I would have gotten one Why did I give it a 3 star? When we satt down to eat our ice cream, we noticed all the pictures on the wall.

We ordered our desserts and waited about 6min for everything to be made to order. We took a seat in the seating area , a staff member brung out our treats to us. We had them to go. We sat outside in the car & watched the fireworks that were popping nearby. Definitely coming back to try again :)

They made my wedding cake which was actually really good back in 2023. Not sure what has happened…read moresince then but the cakes taste dry and they can't decorate a cake to save their lives. My husband ordered me a chocolate cake for my bday and it tasted like I put a spoonful of cocoa powder in my mouth. I then ordered a custom birthday cake and reached out a month in advance making sure they could do the design since it was a very special cake. They assured me they could and I provided them many photos for examples. I was in shock when I saw it. They said they couldn't fix it and gave me half off. If you can't decorate a cake then don't take the order saying you can do it.

*King Cake Review!!*…read more Are y'all sick of my king cake reviews yet? I hope not because I have quite a few more. This one is a little different, though, because it's for a shipped king cake. Now before you purists get your Mardi Gras feathers in a ruffle....yes, I do know all about the Randazzo family drama (if you don't, Google it) and the different bakeries that encompass said drama. There have even been lawsuits over the Randazzo family name and you might very well have had a Randazzo's king cake from a bakery with an entirely different name. One thing is for sure, whether it has the Randazzo's name or another one entirely (hi...Caluda's) their recipe is the bomb and is the very best in alllll of king cake land, and that is a hill I'm willing to die on. I have always wondered if a king cake that has been shipped is just as amazing as if you had gone and picked it up yourself. I have shipped king cakes before and my recipients always say they're good but let's face it, they might just be saying that to spare my feelings. And besides, a shipped cake that's below par is better than no king cake at all...am I right? So I was never positive if I could trust they were just as good. This year I shipped one to my brutally honest kid who just moved out of state. I knew she'd tell me the truth, whether I wanted to hear it or not. After her initial elated excitement of getting a piece of Louisiana shipped straight to her door several states away, she and her hubby dug in and she said, and I quote, "mom it's so good, so fresh and soft, so unbelievably amazing I feel like I'm in Louisiana right now eating it" and continued to rave about it all day to me, Facebook, her new neighbors, literally everyone. Then the next day (and this is the best review of all) she asked me if I wanted to see something embarrassing. Of course I do, lol. She texted me a picture of the king cake, (knife in the box...of course) with only one tiny little slice left. They DEVOURED it in less than 12 hours. I rest my case, your honor. If you have out-of-town people who love Louisiana, and are missing it like crazy, do them a solid and ship them a king cake and ship it from one of the Randazzo's. It's pricy but so worth it! My daughter actually cried real tears getting that king cake delivered. Do it y'all!

Usually I go for orange Italian ice with vanilla soft serve, but orange wasn't on the menu during my last visit. I got strawberry ice and chocolate soft serve instead! So yummy. The ice and ice cream have great textures and flavors. Highly recommend! I also like how they allow you to sample the ice flavors, even in the drive thru. And yes, there's a drive thru! While the service might take a little bit as people sample flavors, and layering takes a bit, it's not terribly long. Plus, it's worth it!
