Extremely disappointing and not authentic French pastries…read more Visited Chez Pierre French Bakery & Café on Sat, Nov 8, 2025 at 5:50 PM (Order #34). Address: 3208 Clearview Pkwy, Metairie, LA 70006. Items: Mini Linzer Torte (x2), Almond Ganache, Medium Fruit Tart, Regular Napoleon. Total: $23.13. Every item tasted stale and poorly made. The Napoleon was soggy and bland--nothing like the crisp layered pastry it should be--and went straight into the trash. The fruit tart and linzer tortes were dry, and the almond ganache lacked freshness and flavor. If you're going to call your bakery French, at least have a chef trained in classic French pastry techniques preparing the pastries. I'm surprised by the high rating given this experience. Won't return

But the cake was written on by someone pretty messily and the icing on the top was cracked. For an $80 chocolate cake I had much higher expectations. It was really on par with cakes from rouses

Amazing little diner!!! We needed breakfast after an early flight in, close to the airport, and…read morethis fit the bill. The menu is not plain or ordinary - great modern breakfast options. The biscuit breakfast sandwich was huge - all the portions were, and so good. The coffee - incredible. From local Pretty Coffee Roasters. One person in our party cannot have a lot of caffeine, and even the decaf was smooth and delicious. Finally, the beignets. We got one order to share. I've been to New Orleans probably 20 times in my life, had Cafe du Monde beignets every time, and I kid you not, these beignets give Cafe du Monde a run for its money. They are a bit different, and I can't quite describe how, except they are richer in flavor. To die for.

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.

Gambino's: synonymous with King Cakes. I've shipped them from here to my cousin in NY and they were…read morewell received. I've eaten other yummy treats out of the case. Note the word YUMMY. 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.)

I've tried Joe's beignets and they're not bad, but this one just is an overall more cohesive flavor. They have lots of other baked goods and during the season, I've heard that their king cakes are one of the best as well. The staff were also top notch. I had a great conversation with an employee and you can tell they liked their job.
