I don't know whom, but someone brought these delicious cookies to our break room and they are so wonderful! You can tell the quality is A1 the cookies were so SOFT, and the icing was not that overly sweet. It was the right combo of both. The craftsmanship of the collie art and the font and piping of these cookies tho are EVERYTHING! They give me life, it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference. We had some cookies made into heart shapes and rhythms on them, little nurses hats and just beautifully decorated thank you ones as well. They did such a great job and my eyes surely did eat before my stomach.

Founder Chris Noble also opened a chocolate café to showcase his signature treats and gourmet drinking chocolates. It's a cozy little shop with lots of charm. A place where you'll want to sit and relax and enjoy a little indulgence. Lively in design and taste these whimsical bonbons feature creative flavor combinations that pay homage to the Crescent City. Chris relies on local distillers and specialty food producers to supply some of the raw materials used in creating his distinct flavor profiles. I attended a party where Chris created special Bonbons for the event - Sagamore Rye Sazerac & Disaronno Bianco. Each bite was sublime and delectably delicious! Chris nailed it on the flavors, and I could tase the quality. These chocolates satisfy cravings you didn't know you had.

It was rich and frothy and comes in a tiny cup so it doesn't make you feel sick or heavy. I also got some truffles which come in such creative flavor combos. Love.

Super cute candy shop. The parking lot is a bit pot holey, prices seem reasonable. The afternoon I…read morevisited it was very warm inside and felt like there was little air flow. Very clean inside.

It's crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. These cookies are almost $5 each bit as you can see, it's a large dessert. 5 stars for this one. Oh, I was greeted by all employees when I went in. That's a plus.

I was wondering around the WB with Re and she suggested we go "to the candy store." I was confused…read morebecause it was already after 8pm and what would be open? Royal Roastery that's who! This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.

They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

Very convenient location on Veterans with easy parking and no lines. It's too sweet for me, but that is how most king cakes are. Incredibly thankful that they were still making them the day after Mardi Gras (they were the *only* one after I checked out 4 other popular places) so we could take some on the flight home to friends. The king cake also tastes great with a very slight heating in the microwave, it softens the dough and enhances the flavor.

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.)
