    A family fun donut shop. They make a variety of king cakes. Plus if you lucky and they have some unfilled one you might be able to get one made to order. Service was quick and friendly. They ensured every customer was greeted their needs for filled.

    Meche's has some amazing donuts. I thought KK was beat until I had these original glaze donuts that melted in my mouth! My mouth instantly watered from the smell of the donuts. The staff member we interacted with kept getting our order wrong but we eventually got what we needed. I strongly advise you to go early so you can get all the goodies that they offer. We wanted a boudin kolache but they were all sold out of them all. I can't wait to return to Meche's the next time I'm in the area!

    Sooooo saddddd! These where the ones that were salvageable....

    I am only giving three stars because this place has the cutest decorated donuts for every holiday! However, today I went in and got the cutest Easter donuts, and I was so excited to bring them home and put them out for the Easter party until I open the box and noticed she had crammed 11 big donuts into a medium sized box! And skimmed me on one out of the dozen! This is the final product!

    Incredible, amazing, life-changing and spectacular are all words I would use to describe this place. I drive over an hour to get here twice a year to get king cakes from them. They're my favorite king cakes in the whole state of Louisiana! I love how they're deep fried with great texture and the icing is perfect! My favorite is the chocolate filled king cake! Their donuts are also so good! Always hot and fresh and they melt in your mouth! The service is fantastic and they are so kind and nice! They have a large selection of donuts and kolaches and more! I highly recommend!

    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.

    *King Cake Review*…read more My dad is known to say that Keller's has the best king cake in the area. Now, my dad knows a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff but when it comes to king cakes I just kinda turn my ears off when anyone, including dear old dad, around here claims to know anything about king cake. I realize I sound like a snob...but y'all. People who live here just accept (without question or protest!!) that donut shops basically make a bigger donut, put purple, green and gold icing on it at and call it a king cake. Like no one is saying anything!! WTF people? That's a donut. For years this has gone on and donut shops were just counting all their extra money and probably laughing about fooling the Cajuns. There must've been enough transient people like me who were like "hey, you guys are being lied to. That ain't no king cake." Now don't get me wrong, no bakery here makes anything even close to what the New Orleans area is used to regarding the Mardi Gras delicacy, but some of them, like Kellers, are damn good still. They also have unique fillings like amaretto walnut and lemon cream cheese. Definitely worth a try!
