Though they might not get all the press, I write with confidence knowing that La Louisiane is an…read moreoutstanding bakery in the New Orleans area. Located in a semi-sleepy warehouse'y area of Elmswood, they manage to crank out delicious baked goods daily and have made a name for themselves through local catering. While they bake a number of things, I think it's safe to say cakes are their most popular item. They make really awesome wedding cakes, sheet cakes, cupcakes, and a really stellar king cake. The latter is available year round, which is really convenient. The doberge cake is perfect for chocolate lovers and the NOLA wedding cake is decadent. A lot of people sleep on their ooey gooey cake, but it's definitely one of the most indulgent things they make. Their custom cakes look incredible and are extremely creative. They also bake some really high quality bread. From french bread to pastries, they can produce stuff perfect for building the perfect muffuletta, poboy, or the underrated but always lovely pullman loaves. They also make muffins, fruit tarts, pies, and the coolest swan shaped cream puffs. Delivery is available and the customer service is really outstanding. Email is an easy way to get in touch but they're really good about helping folks establish the perfect sweet / tasty lineup for all special occasions.

I called one day to inquire if there were anymore everything bagels and there was only one, I needed 6 and more wouldn't be made until Saturday, (2 days later), so I decided to wait. Within a matter of minutes, I got a call back from Dale letting me know that he could make me 6 for the next day. I was elated and said I'll be there to pick them up. Upon picking up the bagels, Dale was so friendly and welcoming and the bagels were exuding with garlic (my favorite). They were soft, super fresh and absolutely delish!! The store also had other baked goods like chunky chocolate chip cookies, brownies, cakes and a cool dessert....gelato. I have never had gelato before but I will definitely return to give it a try. There were a variety of options and the Yelp reviews speaks highly of them. I'll be a returning customer for sure!!

If you're looking for a reliable spot with consistently great king cakes and no hassle, Caluda's is absolutely worth it.

I'm sure their King Cakes are great - if you actually get to eat one…read more I moved away from LA last year and my family and I were missing the Mardi Gras season. So I decided to order two King Cakes to be shipped to Michigan. Most of the popular bakeries had long wait lists, but Caluda had availability. They even had the option to schedule the delivery in advance to arrive on a particular day. So I ordered (2/2) and scheduled the delivery on Lundi Gras (2/17). I paid and received an email confirmation. On the Friday before (2/14) I received an automated email from saying "Your Caluda's King Cake order has shipped!" Woohoo! So far so good, but the package never made it to Fedex. I watched the tracking for the next few days but the status never changed. Still "Label Created". On Lundi Gras there was no delivery. I called Caluda's - no answer. Mardi Gras - no delivery. On Ash Wednesday I sent them an email. The following day I got a reply saying that "Fedex must have lost it" What a waste of my time and effort and dissapointed children who didn't get King Cake. To their credit they did refund my payment promptly, hence the two stars instead of one.

However I can't say the same for the quality. The icing design was beautiful however the cookie cake was paper thin. Nearly 1/8" thin. So 'paper thin' that we had to use utensils to eat the pieces. Their cookie cake prices are 4 x's the cost of area stores and area stores' cookie cakes are better quality. I will not return to the shop and will return to area stores for a cookie cake.
