Fantastic friendly staff and they are home to the BEST Tres Leches cakes period. Mic drop.

Food is always delicious. Stop there EVERY TIME I go through NOLA. The Cuban sandwiches are the best!

Yeah, really nice people and all, but I was really disappointed in the pastries that I bought. Thy literally had no taste at all. I also got a bread pudding and a cheesecake. The cheesecake was a B- at best, but the bread pudding was pretty good. Moral of the story, if you're going there for a dessert, skip to the bread pudding. read more

Cuban sandwiches are the best. Now for the rest of the bakery I love the pastries. They have some tables where you can sit and enjoy. I only didn't like that I called to place the order for my sandwich today and when I got there they said someone called to cancel it. Smh I walked there all the way from my job to get some steps in only to be found with that. So it was a little wait which wasn't bad at all. About 3 mins. Hot and fresh. read more

Norma's Sweets Bakery - Cuban sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

I have to say, I was very excited when I heard Norma's had a stuffed guava cream cheese king cake. I was very disappointed. First of all, it's $35!! Second, it looked like they didn't even try. The icing was poorly smeared on, BARELY any sugar, and the "stuffed" guava cream cheese was a spread. I might as well just bought the ingredients myself and spread it on toast. This was very disappointing and sad they are charging these prices for such a poor presentation! read more

Best Cuban sandwich I've had so far! Yummy Spanish treats and lots of different drinks to choose from. Always a nice experience.

Honduran Tamales are my favorite . There's 2 or 3 different kinds, i think, that's just my preference. I've shopped around in here for my little special items, crema, cheeses, plantain, stores cannot even compare to. Yummy . They've been very helpful in finding my favorite foods, in my visits @ this location. The desserts are just , I can't even tell you which one is my favorite, cause I get the same thing everytime, then I try another one. I end up leaving with 3 or 4 different treats , I have to stop going that way , it's getting outa control!! Omg deliciouso' read more

Norma's is a great pastry and bakery shop for the Latin community. They have Cuban bread and pastellitos which are amazing. I wish they had Cuban coffee and croquettes though! We need a local place that has these things! read more

Is this The worst Cuban Sandwich? Not sure if the new building is the one to blame, but it seems to me that This place has gone down in quality. Are they now cutting corners on how they make this sandwich because of new building? This is how it went: I walked up to the deli. No one was there and had to wait a little while to get waited on...finally someone showed up and took my order... The sandwich was already pre-made and stored in a cooler. The size was between 6" and 7" in size. The sandwich wasn't only very small, but the ingredients/toppings, were missing proportioned to the size. It was somewhat cold in the middle and warm on the outside. The flavor was ok. Not the same. The portions are more like a 6" subway. I believe that if you want to brag about having the best "Cuban sandwich", then make it as such. Don't skimp on the size, and make sure your quality is the same with consistency from the size, the ingredients, all the way to the flavor and presentation. I'm not sure if I want to try it again. The girl at the register didn't even care about me mentioning the small size of it when I brought it to her attention. I guess somethings aren't that important to them...and for sure, caring for the customer isn't their first priority. Where's the friendly and smiling greeting when you are just opening your new building? By the way, great looking place! read more

Cuban sandwich was good and Marley had a good variety of Cuban specialty foods. Little disorganized and need better staffing when it gets busy read more

If you love good Cuban sandwiches and empanadas and beautiful pastry, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! Super clean and friendly!

If you're looking for the best cubano in the New Orleans area, you've found it here. The sandwich was perfect. The buttery bread was pressed to perfection. The roast pork was delicious. All of the other ingredients were perfect along with the melted cheese. Literally the best cubano I have ever had. They also have amazing pastelitos de guayaba y queso. Reminds me of my favorite pastelitos in Puerto Rico. They have all of your favorite Caribbean grocery items too. I can't wait to come back to try the beautiful looking cakes. read more

Horrible customer service! I ordered a cake for my daughters 4 birthday and to get someone to place the order it took 20 mins and they didn't understand what I wanted! A mermaid cake thats all I wanted!!! Mind you I speak Spanish ‍ I finally placed my order and it came out to $75 dollars!!!! So I picked up the cake it had cracks all over it!!!! The cake was already falling apart! You can see the cracks In the pictures and when I cut the cake it was the wrong filling!! They put pineapple when I asked for buttercream!!!! read more

This place is a hole in the wall Honduran bakery/grocery and if you are not hispanic you will feel a bit out of place, but all of that aside they make an AMAZING cuban sandwich. When I was craving a taste of the now closed Garce's that used to be on D'hemecourt in Mid City I found this place somehow and the sandwiches are just as good. Grab some garlic plantain chips to go with it and of course a piece of some of the best tres leches cake around. It is hard to leave here and not get something sweet since the aroma of the bakery overwhelms the place. The Cuban is DIRT CHEAP. The bread was crunchy and buttery and pressed flat. It had roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, mustard and pickles. The roast pork was my favorite part of the sandwich because it was so tender. Perfectly delicious There isn't much room for you to sit and eat, it's best to take your order to go and sit outside somehwere. read more

I wouldn't call Norma's a restaurant. It only has a few small tables. It is more of a bakery/latin grocery than a restaurant. They have great desserts here. Another thing to try is their nacatamales (nicaraguan tamales). Not to be passed up. But the best item is their cuban sandwich. Their cuban sandwich is made perfectly. I love cuban sandwiches and am always on the prowl looking for great cuban sandwiches (as well as gumbo). A cuban sandwich is basically a ham and cheese sandwich lol. What makes it so much better than a regular ham and cheese sandwich is the roasted pork. Add pickles too and you're all set. The cuban bread is then flattened with a press and toasted and you end up with a sandwich that is thin, hot, crispy, and oozing delicious melted cheese!! MUST TRY!!! read more

This place got the best Cuban sandwich and their pico are delicious. Good customer service and clean

After finding out my fiance had NEVER tried a cuban sandwich before, I was on a mission this past week to find one for him. A friend highly recommended Norma's, and once we googled the address, we were on our way! The place is kind of ducked off and easy to pass up if you're not paying attention and the parking lot is tiny, but they serve one of the best sandwiches I've ever had... the pork was very juicy and that bread! (To die for) We, also, bought some pastelitos and tres leches cake to go. Everything was good, and reasonably priced. We will be coming back to Norma's Bakery very soon! read more

If you go to Norma's for one thing, let it be the Cuban sandwich! Yes, its a bakery and all their sweet things are fabulous too! But, I can honestly say its the best cuban sandwich that I've ever had in New Orleans including the one at Jazz Fest that people love. The pork is legit fall apart good and so full of flavor. The rest of the ingredients are top quality and they get the ratio just right. There is the perfect amount of pickles and mustard to compliment the meat and cheese without overpowering the flavor. The bread is fresh and pressed to perfection. Flaky, buttery, sturdy, but not too stiff that it rips up your mouth. The sandwich is also only $7. It's big enough to split, but you won't want to so just order yourself a whole sandwich. In addition to them slinging sandwiches, cakes and other sweets, it's basically a tiny spanish market/bakery with 2 narrow aisles and a cooler packed with imported goods. They have 4 or 5 small tables you can sit at if you are dining in, but definitely a "to go" type place especially if you are feeding a group. Another thing I've gotten at Norma's is the pinatas! They are HUGE and beautiful. Way cuter and cheaper than getting from a party store. It's tucked away in Kenner behind Williams blvd, but it's literally right off the interstate so no excuses to pass this gem up! read more

Great place. I live in California but when in New Orleans visiting I shop here. Very nice. Thank you.

By far the best Spanish bakery around. The Tres Leche is delicious. The Cubano sandwich is excellent. The meat filled postillitos are so good. The Nicaraguan Nacatamales are good. I have never had a bad experience here. People are super nice and helpful. You can usually find someone who speaks English too for those who don't speak Spanish. read more

Very good Cuban sandwich. They are very reliable at making them in a reasonable amount of time. I have ordered 3-4 of them at a time and they are always done in 10minutes! Friendly staff too. Can't wait for the new location to open! read more

Best pastellitas de guyaba!!! Awesome bread, as well!! New store is very nice and clean.

You must try the Cuban sandwich when you come here...and YOU WANT TO COME HERE! The food is great and it is very fresh and made with a lot of love. It is a great little bakery. The cakes are beautiful. It is so worth coming to just look in the bakery counters read more

I'm surprised I haven't written a review for this place yet. But it's now or never! My family and I were born in Guatemala. I was raised there during my youngster years, but pretty much grew up in New Orleans. I go back to visit my family in Guatemala quite frequently, and there's nothing like a good ole Tres Leches or Arroz con Leche when I go "home". I can't remember how long ago it was that my family and I discovered this place, but I remember coming home and seeing a tres leches in the refrigerator and just the fact that I saw that cake in AMERICA was like finding a pot of gold with a leprechaun standing next to it. I was so thrilled! Honestly, at that very moment, I didn't care where it came from. I just wanted to eat it... well, then I finished it and I had to go buy another one before daddy saw that I ate the whole cake. My mom told me where the bakery was. I think I drove up and down the street like 5 times before I saw it. It's so small... but my goodness, great things come in small packages. My parent's home is in Kenner, so it's less than 10 minutes from their house. Very conveniently located in my case. Now that I live uptown, I wish I could find a place like this in my area. But until then, stop by Normas and get yourself a Tres Leches! You won't regret it! Tip: just drive down the street rrrreeeaaallllllyyyyy slloooooowwwwwlllyyy so you don't miss it and drive around for 15 min like I did :) read more

Good fresh pastries , bread, donuts, churros .. they also sale Hispanic goods if your from Honduras a lot of exported options in seasonings .. place is small parking is sufficient.. line can extend around the whole shop but it moves pretty fast you will be in and out 5 minutes. read more

I am obsessed with guava and cheese. I lived in Miami and always crave them. So whenever I am back in miami you can definately find me eating lots and lots of this awesome pastry..... Moving to NOLA, I lost all hope of finding these little treats that make me happy. However, now that I have been introduced to this bakery....my misery is over! Hello guava and cheese pastry and tres leches! Oh and not to mention I can come here to get my fix of Postobon and Colombiana drinks. this place is awesome, pastry is always fresh and their tres leches is to die for! not too sweet and just right! Not to mention the CUBAN Sandwich!!!! It has got to be the best I have eaten and needless to say my boyfriend who is cuban feels the same way. it is a must try! They also have hot tamales, Cuban, Honduran style available. I tried the Honduran style because they were out of the Cuban ones and that was pretty tasty. this place can get busy so expect a wait for the sandwiches but its always hot and ready to eat! I am now complacent NOLA that I have discovered this lil haven for my fave treats! read more

I was looking for a goof Cuban sandwich so I searched on yelp & read the reviews of this place. Thank you! This place serves a great Cuban sandwich!!!! While they do speak Spanish & appear to have many Hispanic customers they do speak English. I grabbed a bag of hot & spicy plantains to eat with it which was scrumptious. I was disappointed that they were sold out of churros as one reader recommended to try. They have many baked goods to choose from. You need to try this place! You won't be disappointed. Thanks for the positive feedback. If people wouldn't have taken the time to review this place, I would have never found it. I will definitely be returning! read more

Tiny little place off of williams, nearly right behind French Press Coffeehouse. They offer some sandwiches and baked goods as well as some groceries. Let's just say I've been to Norma's 3 times the past month since I've re-discovered it. The cuban sandwich is worthy of a return, yes. But what keeps me coming back is the flan!!! Oh my god, it's absolutely delicious! Have not tried many other of the baked goods but I am looking forward to doing so in the future.. If I can stray away from the flan, that is.The staff is always VERY friendly when you walk in there, and every time I've been, there are locals hanging out on the porch people watching or enjoying a snack. Very reasonably priced. read more

Hands down, the best Cuban sandwich i ever had. Bread perfectly toasted and crunchy with a hint of butter. ham, pork, cheese, pickles and mustard perfectly proportioned and fresh. I also bought a small banana bread for dessert and that is excellent also. read more

bad attitude from the ladies , showed them what i wanted and asked if they could do it , Norma herself swore they could, went to pick up the cake and it looked horrible, nothing like what they said they could do, they even added a god awful plastic red flower on the top and when i took it off i realized it was their bad attempt at hiding a huge crack in the cake ,they should've been embarrassed , told them about it and they wouldn't discount the price even though it looked beat up, had to take the cake since i needed it for my daughter's birthday but will die before returning here for a cake read more

Honduran tamales!! So freaking good. Also one of the best tres leches cakes around. Definitely recommend.

This hidden gem is a block off Williams and absolutely worth it! This bakery, grocery, sandwich shop is like a little slice of Cuba in Kenner. Have you been looking for a Cuban sandwich? Well look no further. For about 8 dollars you can have a delicious fresh Cuban sandwich. Still hungry? Pick out one of the many fresh baked delicacies behind the glass, yes that includes churros. read more

Norma's Sweets Bakery - Not much to it. Tasty but expensive. - Bakeries Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

If i could put none stars i will give none, they need a n order on the line to pay , customers are blocking some products and is hard to search groceries, the cashier need manors and learn how to be patient and treat customers, no smile, no greeting just trying to be quick, the prices are too high and the parking lot, is the worst place, it's hard to park getting in and out, I'll never go back, i don't recommend and I'll never go back. read more

The torta de cumpe or birthday cake here is amazing. I feel slightly guilty buying birthday cake on a random tuesday, but it just makes my whole week that much more bearable. I think its $4 or $6 for 4 days worth of cake. Really good to eat after work in place of dinner. Incredibly milky and moist, I could not recommend this cake or establishment more. The cream cheese and guava rolls are great, too. read more

Cubano... YUM. I've been on a Cubano kick lately; found another restaurant near work that sells 'em, but their prices don't beat Norma's... so, from that standpoint, I'll be a regular at Norma's. Cubanos are $6. I usually can't leave out of there without a small flan ($1.60). Both are pretty delicious. You have to wait for your cubano, which obviously is awesome since they make it while you wait. I also came out of there today with a pork pastry--$0.90 (not sure what it's called) and a chicken empanada ($1.60)... both tasty. Crappy parking lot, but it'll do. Very happy to have found this gem. read more

Omg found a Latin bakery worth a trip and price quesitos omg it's been almost 6 years since I had one with a Cuban sandwich for breakfast
