LOVE this cake shop…read more The Red Velvet is AMAZING. It is definitely in the top 3 red velvet cakes I've eaten. Their frosting is not overly sweet and fresh every time. The cakes are moist and fluffy. The owners and workers are super friendly and pricing is really reasonable. Ask them for special shapes and designs(like for bachelor/bachelorette parties if you know what I mean). They're pretty creative in helping you achieve your ideas. ;)

She will be flying from California to Louisiana and the family will gather to celebrate her. When she picked up the cake today it was very small. Virginia said since she asked how many people we wanted to feed and we said 8 "she only made a cake to yield 8 slices." She was further insulting by saying if she had made a regular cake it would cost much more than the $35.00! We asked for a cake we never said there was a financial restriction! My oldest sister's surprise birthday dinner is ruined. She upset my middle sister who meticulously planned this family gathering and did not attempt to make it right by taking responsibility and offering a sensible solution. The icing on the cake rather than smooth does not have attention to detail. Dissappointed

Keller's Bakery Downtown

(39 reviews)

I picked up breakfast from Keller's Bakery Downtown and went with a few different items to share…read more The blueberry muffin was soft with a lightly crisp top, and the cinnamon roll had a tender center without being overly sweet. 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.

That's why I'm glad I found this little outlet. A loaf of bread here is 99 cents. Ninety nine cents, y'all. And not the weird off brand either. They carry Nature's Own, Sara Lee and other brands you trust. They also have lots of different snack cakes and a really hard to find flavor of jelly (Blackburn's blackberry) that I never see anywhere else. The best thing about this place is what I like to call Bread Happy Hour. So every Sunday between 2-4pm everything in the store is half off. So you can get a loaf of bread for two quarters. You can't beat that, anywhere. If you need bread look no further. Go at Bread Happy Hour if you can, too!
