Absolutely my favorite king cakes! The cream cheese and apple are my favorite filings. They made this beautiful King Crown cream cheese king cake for my nephew's 18th birthday. Yum! And always very friendly service from the Do family. read more

Hi-Do Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Terrytown, Louisiana

One of the best looking king cakes and available near the end of December in New Orleans Westbank. The strawberry bavarian cream filled one was ultra sweet to me but kids didn't seem to mind that much. Probably would get the plain one next time. The large king cakes come in a large rectangle with dark golden brown dough and lots of very fine gold, purple, green sugar on top....looks more impressive than 95% of the other king cakes which can be slathered with too much white icing, use coarse sugar, or have dough on the yellow side instead of golden brown. We also got almond croissant which was delicious, especially after a bit of time in the toaster oven. The chocolate croissant is unique for its layer of chocolate glaze on top. read more

Delicious bakery items! King cake varieties were available n at least 5 flavors. The blueberry and strawberry cream cheese cakes were fluffy and full of each fruit paste. They were not too sweet. Im getting my cakes from here next year! read more

Wonderful King cakes. Nice and soft and no thick icing, just the sugar sprinkles. Very friendly owners and staff.

HI-Do Bakery 439 Terry Pkwy, Terrytown, LA 70056 I'm not sure who's NOT a fan of DO-OUGH, though, but I know I'm definitely am! When they're not dishing out Bomb king cakes during Mardi Gras, this is my to go to spot for baked goods and snacks! Do you want crossaints? They got that. Do you also want fresh French baguettes? They got that, too! Just know that you won't be disappointed! P.S. They only take cash, but they do have an atm. #Tonylameats #hidobakery #hido #bakedgoods #freshbread #terrytownla #neworleansla #foodsdventure read more

I had $5 this morning thinking that I could buy 2 croissants; that was the old days. Their prices have increased over the years. With tax, a ham and cheese croissant is now $4. Croissants are still fiya though! read more

Delicious king cakes and pastries at a fair price. King cakes are NOT covered in that awful goopy white icing, just purple green and gold sugar sprinkles. read more

Hi-Do Bakery has the absolute best king cakes. I like that they're not super sweet, and the dough they use not too 'doughy'. The cream cheese and apple fillings are my favs, and also love their special shaped king cakes (i.e., fleur de lis, crawfish, crab or king crown). Gotta get me some every time i'm visiting. read more

I got Hi-Do bakery's cream cheese filled king cake at King Cake Hub. It was FANTASTIC!!! I could eat it for breakfast with my cup of joe every day! SO soft and moist, fresh, with plenty of delicious cream cheese filling in the middle! My boyfriend always said he didn't like king cakes, but that's because he never had any really good ones. He changed his mind after having Hi-Do's and LOVED it! He was like, "I guess I like king cakes now!" I know people rave about Dong Phong, but Hi-Do has some serious game! Skip the line and overhyped craze for Dong Phong and grab some Hi-Do!! read more

Hi-Do Bakery - Cream cheese filling king cake! PHENOMENAL - Bakeries Near Me - Terrytown, Louisiana

Popped in today after my flu shot as I needed a boost. Plenty of items at still at 1pm. I opted for 4 plain croissants and 2 apple turnovers. The croissants were crisp on the outside and flaky on the inside, I used them the make tuna sandwiches. The apple turnovers were a bit of flaky Heaven. It was cash only, total of 13.50$ . Now that I add it up, he overcharged me, even if I add tax. Lame. Honestly though, I can accept it. Next time I'll add it up myself. This small oversight is certainly not going to dissuade me from going back. I mean I can think of a million delicious reasons to return. read more

They're a cash only bakery, but their king cakes are amazing! Also love their scones and croissants.

No matter what is trending each year as the "king cake du jour", Hi-Do is non-negotiable on our annual king cake list. Yes, we get the cream cheese! But wait, there's more! Pastries, cakes, cake slices, cookies, and proper French patisserie items (from a Vietnamese bakery, no less!). I've never, not once, had anything less than delectable, delicious orders from Hi-Do. It's a quick drive to best bank, and even the longest lines out the door (during carnival) go quickly. Oh, and their breads are LUSH! Enjoy! read more

The pastries are so good, not overly sweet. I enjoy their croissants the filled ones are the best. Ham & cheese, chocolate they're flaky and delicious. Their King cakes are so moist and flaky the cream cheese is my favorite and strawberry filled ones. I would highly recommend their bakery. If you're looking for great service, fresh pastries and baked with "Love," then give Hi-Do Bakery a try. read more

There are bakeries for days in NOLA where one can get king cake but I'm convinced that Hi-Do is high up on the list. For years they've been serving the community their versions of high carb classics, many of which are every bit as good (if not better) than the aforementioned king cake. I think anyone and everyone who is in the Gretna / Terrytown area owes themselves a visit to this excellent local bakery. They've definitely made a name for themselves locally; everyone hits up Hi-Do all throughout the year but especially during the holidays and mardi gras. They are great on the phone with custom orders for big groups and are super helpful in helping folks choose something worthy for takeout. There are a few tables inside, but most folks are in and out. As previously noted, their king cake is legendary. It's perfectly sweet and with just enough frosting for a sugary taste that doesn't overwhelm. It is the consummate gift and a quality addition to any special occasion gathering (#1). The cream cheese stuffing and optional strawberry swirl gives it the extra indulgence that would make most sweet tooths cower in happiness. My personal favorite is when they have it in the shape of a fleur-de-lis. Not many bakeries offer this. Everything else is also on point. I love their super simplistic but tasty cookies and the fluffy crunch of their croissants. The cinnamon roll is as filling as it is underrated and the carrot cake deserves some love. I'm so impressed with this family owned biz that I go out of my way to be there every time I'm in the area. They really do such an incredible job that they deserve all the recognition. __________ (#1) Or in times of pandemic, a personal affair. read more

I called ahead 2 days for a Saturday pick up. The person that answered the phone was pleasant and answered all of my questions. On the morning of pick up it was super easy to skip the line and go to the window for my pick up. When she handed it to me it smelled so good and fresh as if it had just came out of the oven. When I mentioned that I would be taking it to MS she was kind enough to wrap it in a plastic bag. My friend was Uber happy to get a fresh King Cake just in time for Lunar New Year. Next time I'll have to try a few of their delicious pastries as well. read more

Love this bakery!!! Everyone was super friendly and they made sure everyone has their mask upon entry. Was able to get a Medium size plan king cake. Also got two chocolate covered croissants WHICH ARE FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE TOO! Those are amazing. The king cake was good too. I would probably get a filled one next time. They tend to stay moist longer. But very good price for the medium. I would recommend everyone making the drive out there to the bakery if you're in Jeff parish like me. Well worth it and not that far off the bridge. read more

KING CAKE REVIEW! We had high hopes for these king cakes! Unfortunately, we tried the traditional one first and it was very dry. The sugar were overly piled high. We each had a piece and couldn't eat the rest. Second chances! Cream cheese king cake! MUCH BETTER! "Cake" not as dry, just enough cream cheese to moisten it up, still had to scrape some sugar off, but much happier with the 2nd one! read more

Love this bakery! Outside of Carnival, it's great for flaky streudels, classic soles and desserts. During Carnival it's a must for king cake traditionalist. They're plain, sweet doughy bread with mounds of sugar atop are the best of what my memory offers on the original McKenzies. A bonus is they're creative kind cake shapes that bend the Mardi Gras confection into crabs and crawfish. It's worth the trip across the bridge for this New Orleanian. read more

I've really enjoyed their king cake this year. It's super soft and the cream cheese is filling is good. We also get bread for banh mi here. It's a nice little spot on the westbank read more

Hi-Do is still THE place to go! I drove from Baton Rouge to pick up 3 king cakes that I had ordered during the off-season to bring to friends in Atlanta that had never had king cake before. Yes, I carried 3 king cakes through the airport and on the plane with me. THAT'S how good Hi-Do is. When I came to pick up the king cakes, I mentioned that I was going to the airport. The staff went out of their way to first, package up the cakes for me so they'd be airtight and safe, and second, in a nice tote bag so it would be easier to carry. Talk about wonderful service. Love love love Hi-Do. And you can bet that I got some croissants to save for breakfast the next day! Days later, their baked goods still taste great. read more

The Fleur De Lis King Cake from @hidobakery. This place serves up some of my favorite king cakes in the city. It basically tastes like super sweet, soft bread with sugar on top. I'm a purist when it comes to king cakes, so I really just like it without a lot of cinnamon or white icing, and Hi Do's never disappoints . If you like filled king cakes, I also loved the strawberry filled! : : What's also unique about this place is that they will make a king cake in the shape of a fleur de lis ( above), crab , crawfish , or crown . Just make sure to call ahead. read more

Best bakery on the westbank! I always come here to get my banh mi in batches every few weeks. The bread is always soft and tasty. Whenever I need some croissants for a fundraiser or conference group, I always come here. Their plain croissants are buttery and flaky. The ham and cheese croissants are always a hit. And now getting to the good stuff... they have the best kind cakes!!! I always get my king cakes from here during Mardi Gras season. When I'm unlucky enough to have grabbed the baby at work, I order a large king cake ahead of time and pick it up the day of with no complications at all. Everyone loves the Bavarian or cream cheese filling but even their plain king cakes are great. Support local businesses! read more

Review Milestone Alert: I've hit 800! Normally I reserve milestone reviews for places that hold a significant memory for me. For example, my beloved Coney Island is review #500. Its Wonder Wheel is #700. And yet for review #800, I pick Hi-Do Bakery, a place that I visited for the first time two days ago. Y'know, at once I had a feeling of nostalgia for the West Bank the other day (I don't question these things. They just happen). I love finding new places, new neighborhoods, even better. And I have Yelp to thank for this, time and time again because the reviews of businesses in this area have been intriguing me for months now. Hi-Do is a modest bakery and appears to have been in that strip mall forever (or at least since the 70s). That doesn't mean their product is at all modest or mediocre. It's the kind of place that you might find through a local you may or may not meet in a bar if you're in town for a brief visit. But put "best king cakes" through Yelp and there Hi-Do appears in the middle of a lengthy list. And so I landed here two days ago. To try my first slice of King Cake. I've been at occasions where King Cake was served but all of these times I was vegan and so, no king cake for me. But on this day, despite my belief that avoiding sugar is the best thing for me, I decided it was crucial to try this iconic baked good. And delicious it is. I ordered up a small, strawberry-filled ring They have plenty, in different shapes (tradtional ring, fleur-de-lis, crawfish), with different fillings. Three sizes. The cake is beautiful with the requisite granulated sugar, not too much icing, and the fruit filling is similar to that of a jelly donut. In fact, the moist, chewy texture reminds me more of a jelly donut than a more dense danish (a good thing. I feared a more dry texture). Wait, if you know what this is, it's actually reminiscent of a sweet challah bread with strawberry injected into it. The cookie I tasted (with a jam center) was also divine. More than flavor, king cake is a huge tradition here and I'm glad I finally had my first bite. And I'm glad to capture it in my 800th review because only two days later and it already feels like a significant occasion. read more

Cute bakery. I have had their creme filled king cakes before, so I wanted to see what else their bakery had to offer. They had cookies, scones, lots of croissants, bearclaws, and a few more baked goods. We were in a hurry so we ordered several items and they all tasted really good! So glad we were able to make a quick stop before heading back to Pensacola. read more

Very nice bakery. Excellent croissants, chocolate, ham & cheese, almond etc. Unfortunately, I can't eat as much of their delicious food.

Soooo this is strictly my review on the king cake! To be more precise, a cream cheese filled king cake! If you have never thought to heat up your piece of king cake then you gotta try it! In actuality, my king cake was fresh out the oven...and decorated with nothing more than colored sugars! No frosting ...nothing fancy...plain ol color Mardi Gras themed colored sugar! As they hand me the box, I felt the warmth of this freshly baked king cake. I was instructed to leave the lid slightly opened to cool the cake! I have never had hot baked cream cheese king cake before...I was curious to try. I cut a small piece with the plastic knife they provided.... omg! I can't believe how it sliced soo smoothly. I watched the warm, oooeeeyyy gooey cream cheese flow out of my slice. I picked it up and carefully took a bite out of it. It was the best tasting king cake ever! The bread was ever so soft, the cream cheese was melty and sweet but not overly sweet. This is unlike any other cream cheese filled flavored I've ever had! It was amaaaaazzzing! I can't believe I have never gotten one before from this Vietnamese bakery! With that being said, I will be back over and over again! read more

Do you like affordable, giant pastries? How about friendly service? Oh and a locally owned and run business who (probably) knows their regulars? Then Hi-Do is your jam. I knew about their king cakes but it had been a while since their chocolate croissants so across the CCC we go... A rainstorm later, we walked out with an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant and I was a very, very happy lady. These things are HUGE. I mean, took me two days to eat the, big. I started with the chocolate croissant as I'm on an endless journey to eat them all. These are not only stuffed with chocolate but also covered with milk chocolate. Obviously, they're delicious. The shell isn't as crispy as others I've had but it doesn't matter a bit because even though some croissants may be a teeny tiny bit better, this is the croissant that I know I'll crave every now and then. This is the croissant I know I'll want on a long drive. This is the croissant I'll want when I miss home. read more

I Love this place,Strawberry & Cream Cheese Croissant,melts in your mouth I've never had bread this soft,the french bread is soft as well,great for making po boys. Everything I have had from this place has been really good.Stuffed ham,egg& cheese croissant all of it. Thanks I'm here to stay read more

We all know regardless of which side of the river you reside on this is one of the carnival season musts. My reason for choosing them is actually the opposite of everyone else. I actually avoid cakes that tend to be too sweet. I want to actually enjoy the cake and not be overtaken by fillings and toppings. I can get the original cake without worrying about it being a super dry ring like other places. This family owned buisiness has amazing customer service and a real home-y feel. I need to try a few things off the regular menu and get back with you on a more full review. I'm almost sure it won't disappoint. read more

Me and my roommate went here so she can try her first king cake. Pretty far from where we live--It's tucked away in a strip mall on the West Bank. The staff was very friendly. We bought a cream cheese filled king cake. I liked that the dough was soft and warm, almost like a donut! I personally didn't care for the topping. It wasn't icing, it was kind of just a bunch of purple, green and yellow sprinkles. The cream cheese tasted okay. I just wish the cake was sweeter! read more
