Went to the location on maple with my family. Beautiful clean space. Completely empty when we visited on a Saturday. The people who were working were not friendly or welcoming. I ended up getting pumpkin danish that was dry hard bread with a pretty good filling. Could use more crumble and pecans. I had been going to the location in the market at st Claude several times. Yummy snacks. Crescent cookies and bread pudding. My daughter loves the muffins. After visiting the maple location I probably won't be frequenting as much. read more

They made my wedding cake which was actually really good back in 2023. Not sure what has happened since then but the cakes taste dry and they can't decorate a cake to save their lives. My husband ordered me a chocolate cake for my bday and it tasted like I put a spoonful of cocoa powder in my mouth. I then ordered a custom birthday cake and reached out a month in advance making sure they could do the design since it was a very special cake. They assured me they could and I provided them many photos for examples. I was in shock when I saw it. They said they couldn't fix it and gave me half off. If you can't decorate a cake then don't take the order saying you can do it. read more

White Chocolate Strawberry cake is delicious! I like how there are usually cakes premade!

I bought a birthday cake for my husband's 50th birthday. Ordered a coconut cake. Got a white with buttercream frosting and toasted coconut shreds. So it wasn't really a coconut cake which would have been fine if that's all that was wrong but the cake was SO DRY that we ended up throwing more than half of it away. It was $57. I was beyond disappointed and will never use this bakery again. I wished I would have just purchased a cake from Sam's Club. read more

Love this place! Quality cakes & pastry! Very nice staff. Small store with great environment! read more

Ok. They are new here in this location. I'll give them a chance. Have stopped in twice. Their stuff is beautiful, without doubt. Of the 3 things I've tasted the pastries are fine, but so far not 'amazing.' My concern is customer service. They are not busy yet- so what does it take for the one clerk to pop out from behind the case and wipe the tables, 3 of 4 being filled with crumbs. (After serving us she retreated to the back and her phone). Or to know a little bit more about the items they have and be a bit warmer and chatty. Or to have napkins on the tables. And it's so sterile - how about some music or pictures or something? Something to work on. Looks like their reviews for their Covington location have some similarities. Good luck Zoe's. Step up. read more

The pastries are both 'pretty' and delicious. I have tried several items and all are very good. The cinnamon roll is my favorite.

My order was a last minute order and not only did they nail my daughter's graduation/birthday cake from my picture but it was so delicious! It's been a week and family members are still calling asking where did I get it from and how good it was! Thank you so much for the courtesies and thank you for my delicious cake read more

I came in here in hopes of a quick treat and coffee and found that the bakery had a good selection to offer. I opted for a butter croissant and an apple tartlet to take for the next day's tea time snack. Both were delicious and I am glad I stopped in. Unfortunately they do not offer coffee, buttered rolls or any of the nice counter items you would expect from a small bakery. I took off the one star because I still had to drive through at Dunking Donuts to pick up a coffee on my way home. It seems like the majority of their business is larger/event cakes. Unfortunately this loses a big customer base as people are not looking to purchase these items every day. Also, this place could greatly benefit from some lively music a little bit more color and a greeter. While the lady who attended to me was kind enough, there was no warm feeling in the reception area and I had to wait until I called for someone to appear at the counter. read more

Cakes for thanksgiving and Christmas this were incredible!! Thank you Zoe's will be returning!!

Best Carrot Cake Ever! Amazingly decorated. Pleasantly surprised to see what the designer did. Taste was amazing! A stunning piece for our family gathering. First time to use this bakery. I highly recommend this bakery because of the great service and friendly staff also. Thanks again!!! read more

Zoe's Bakery - 2 tier carrot cake 4/9/22 - Bakeries Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Better than Sucre! Affordable, big portions, & all slices are cut the same day they are sold.

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION! Loved until first bite. Presentation means nothing if the customer isn't satisfied with the overall taste profile. If I voice a complaint on taste the rebuttal shouldn't be a judgement on the diversity of my palate. I requested a very common flavor profile (white/buttercream) and they failed at that. The chef combatted me with an arrogance of superiority, as if he's the standard of taste. Not a every customer is a novice to the world of pastry. I have enough experience to recognize homemade vs high fructose enhanced buttercream. I was offered a discounted cake upon my return but after this incident as a first time customer, it's highly unlikely I will return. PS: Customer service should be paramount especially for a local small business, repeat customers are your life line! (White/Buttercream; 6in $65) = dry & flavorless. read more

I really want to support local bakeries. I always love a good piece of cake! Parking lot was empty so i thought Perfect! It gravel road which if you drive a lower car, you worry about your car getting damaged! I managed to maneuver to a decent spot. Place looks cute on the outside but inside looks unkept. I walked in and the person in front was on the phone with another customer. She nodded her head at me and continued her conversation on the phone. I figured she would get to me after she gets off the phone... no big deal. I check the place out but not much to really choose from. I looked for their most popular item which was the Strawberry Shortcake. I love SS! I waited and waited. The lady finished her call and walked off...i patiently waiting for a few more minutes....someone finally helped me. I asked for the SS! I was super excited. I even asked for a fork! When i went to pay...this piece of cake was almost $6! I couldn't believe it! I thought...well gourmet...probably worth it! I was wrong! It was the most disgusting cake I've had. It looks moist but it crumbled and was completely dry! I could barely swallow it even scooping up extra frosting. It crumbled like a powder. I'm not sure what that was about but I'm not coming back. read more

The white chocolate strawberry cake is still my favorite and you can pop in for just a slice.

Was told that a complimentary smash cake would be included along with my baby's 1st birthday cake! We did not get the smash cake after speaking with Ashley the manager she was extremely rude and hung up in my face after I told her I do not want a $20 gift card because I would never use Zoe's bakery again! Someone who was next to her was telling her what to say and he told her to hang up! So after calling back I spoke with a girl who say she personally made my cake she was even more rude and disrespectful who told me I should have picked up the cake myself and told me that $20 was all she can offer me she was yelling over the phone and told me that I shouldn't have had more than enough cake left over and let the baby smash the top half I asked to speak with the owner because they were being rude they refused! A $20 gift card compared to a $200 cake is not justified for the experience I received! Shane has rude and disrespectful people working for him! And I'll never use bakery again! I feel just because someone is dissatisfied doesn't mean to make a mockery of that person especially if this is their first time using the services they have ruined my son's 1st birthday Ashley admitted that they didn't even include the smash cake in my order! All my emails say otherwise in most cases SORRY or I APOLOGIZE doesn't solve the issue!!!! I expect my deposit back not a $20 gift card to use towards another cake the cake was tasteless and dry! After submitting my review to post I received a call from the owners wife stating that I was immature because I submitted my opinion about the establishment she then went on to say that I was racist because I called them prejudice and that I have a thing against white people and that I have a chip on my shoulder! I feel attacked because I wrote this review based off my experience with the bakery!!! So basically that just proves my entire point! I don't even want my deposit back! How about not calling upset customers fussing at them for posting about their experiences and telling me how the lady at the front counter has a "black boyfriend" that has nothing to do with my experience she seems to be the one who has a chip on her shoulder! I'm steady being attacked for speaking from MY experience read more

I've been meaning to write a review for Zoe's Bakery, but never had the time or even remember to do so. My wife and I were looking for a place to have our cake made for our wedding day (which is almost a year now) and Zoe's gave us the best options and flavors to choose from. We were able to choose different flavors for different tiers without any hassle. Chef Shane was very patient and thorough with what me and my wife wanted for our cake. He made us feel comfortable with everything we asked for and made sure his sketch matched our liking. Our visits has been pretty much hassle free as we came in to discuss about our wedding cake instead of communicating over the phone or internet. Of course, we wanted everything to be just right without any mistakes for our wedding, so we could not risk just communicating via the internet. We also took into consideration of their hours of operation as they seem to stay consistently busy during the day. After finalizing and ordering what we wanted, we were stress free from cake decisions with chef Shane assuring that everything will be ready and delivered for our wedding date. Our cake could not come out any better than it did when we saw it! We were in awe and relieved that there were no incidents involved with our cake as we had it hanging instead of placed on a table. We had many people asked where we had purchased our cake from and with amazement, asked to have more slices as we had different flavors inside! Overall, we would like to give our sincere thanks to chef Shane and other associated chefs who have assembled our cake together for our special day. We believe we made the best choice in selecting Zoe's Bakery and will be a lifetime customer for any future events to come! read more

Worst cake and overall experience. ***May I add, my husband got food poisoning from a piece of cheese cake he picked up when he picked up my special ordered birthday cake.****** The cake was terrible and dry. The icing was crisco flavored at best. We threw it away after one piece which we could do even choke down. Sadly that was $55 wasted. My kids wouldn't even eat it! My poor daughter said it tasted like a stick of butter rolled in dirt. Go anywhere else. read more

The first thing we noticed was the workers and customers were not following the mask procedures required in Louisiana (during the pandemic). They had a lot of good looking things! My husband and I got a slice of mousse cake and a mini sour cherry tart to go. Neither was great. The cherry one was too dense and didn't have much flavor. The mousse cake was dry and overly sweet. Unfortunately, I would not return. read more

If you want fresh, delicious cakes and pastries... try Rouse's or WholeFoods, NOT Zoe's Bakery. Maybe even try Walmart. Anything would be better than this place! I placed an order for a custom birthday cake for my daughter. It was decorated beautifully but unfortunately we found several long hairs inside of it. The bakery had several roaches on the floor and the staff was unpleasant to work with but we decided to give them a try anyways. Wont be doing that again!! I would not recommend this place. Try Mandeville Bake shop instead! read more

Not only is everything delicious, but Shane, Bri and the rest of the Krewe at Zoe's are some of the nicest and incredibly talented bakers and artists. They have made us the perfect wedding cake, and several specialty cakes for numerous occasions, including the Ponchatoula past Strawberry Festival Queens. Make sure to stop in for a snack or the most detailed and delicious cake you or they can dream up. read more

I will NEVER use this place again. Zoe's canceled my best friends WEDDING CAKE, 15 days before her wedding. What kind of business does that? Hey Zoe's, don't commit to doing something if you can't deliver! 10/10 DON'T recommend using unless you want to be let out & disappointed. Their services is as bad as the cakes & pastries! read more

Love the lemon tarts, almond crescents, and cappuccino blondies! Friendly service. Ambiance is satisfactory.

Zoe's did our wedding cake. It was absolutely incredible. The design was off the chart. The cake off the chart. I gave one less star only because The five tier cake was leaning. Not a big deal because it was a big cake but doesn't look that great in photos. Not sure why it leaned. We weren't there when it was delivered so who knows. bUT this is my go to bakery and the only bakery I will ever use.for special events. EVER read more

If you like dry King Cake where the filling is baked inside of the cake, then this is the place for you. You better buy a gallon of milk for each piece you eat. When attempted to return just 30 minutes after buying it, and only a small piece removed, the staff was extremely rude and the manager refused to come and speak to me. So once again, if you like dry king cakes and like to be treated rudely then I highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and drive a little further to Butter Krisp, you get a much better product as well as friendly service. Had high hopes since this is a bakery, what a let down. And I promise you that I will not waste any more of my time going there for any other items, they might have great pastries, but with a lack of customer service I will never find out. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!! Employees are rude. Their King Cakes are dry and instead of squeezing the filling in after its cooked, they put the filling in before baking so you can barely fine any in there. So if you like dry bread with sugar on top, this is your kind of place! read more

Gorgeous pastries. Most exciting is that there were some gluten free options!! The GF chocolate chip cookie was the deal!! Mmmmm Sweet service and environment, too! read more

Do not shop here. I do not recommend using Zoe's Bakery for any & all occasion. They cancelled my cousin's wedding cake 15 days before her wedding. My cousin consistently used Zoe's for any & all events. You would think a local business would treat their customers AND returning customers with more respect & empathy. It's absolutely disappointing that they did not try to help assist in finding a solution, and did not provide a single reason to their cancellation. So if you do decide to use Zoe's just know that your order is not 100% guaranteed, and your satisfaction is not their priority. read more

Zoe's didn't even blink when we asked them to make us a cake shaped like a brain and filled with raspberry (so that it would ooze when we cut into it, of course). They pulled it off beautifully AND it was delicious! Zoe's made our three-tiered wedding cake, too, which was both gorgeous and scrumptious. Before the wedding, they invited us out to Covington to try all their tasty cake flavors and then let me design the entire cake, accommodating my random requests for fresh figs, raspberries, strawberries, red grapes, and even two little fake birds. On the Big Day, they safely delivered the cakes to the French Quarter, where they were photographed thoroughly and then promptly devoured by our wedding guests. Fantastic! Check out the pictures... read more

White Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake! Zoe's White Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake is the BEST this bakery has to offer! For any and every special event, there's got to be a Strawberry Shortcake from Zoe's!

Coffee Rani also sells Zoe's cakes by the slice if you don't want to buy an entire cake or if you are closer to a Coffe Rani location and don't want to drive all the way down Collins Blvd! I saw a few other reviews about bad customer service and honestly, I have never had a problem! read more

As my one year anniversary approaches, I'm looking through photos and reminiscing over the last year with my sweetheart. One of my favorite details of our wedding was designing the grooms's cake! (Photo enclosed) The chocolate cake with chocolate icing was rich and delicious. My mom and I had so much fun driving over to New Orleans to taste the various cake samples! They did a fabulous job on our groom's cake and we will never forget it. There isn't much this bakery can't do. Thank you Zoe's! read more

Zoe's Bakery - Amazing groom's cake by Zoe's. - Bakeries Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

they cancelled my wedding cake 15 days before the wedding. I have used Zoe's bakery for 10 years for every party and occasion where I needed a cake. I trusted a local bakery with the most important cake of my life to date and they canceled without one oz of regret or sympathy for the fact that they left a bride high and dry two weeks before the big day. my fiancé and I weren't even thrilled with the taste of the cake but felt like we owed them loyalty for always being our bakery so decided to use them for our wedding cakes anyway. I have never dealt with a business with such little care for their customers. I would not recommend to my worst enemy. read more

We used Zoe's Bakery for our wedding cake last year. We picked them because we really liked the baker, Shane, who came out and met with us to pick out the design. He was very personable and gave us a good price because what we wanted was very simple. We picked a 3-tier wedding cake with 2 flavors and a small groom's cake that we wanted just for us. We decided on the almond Amaretto which was excellent and the chocolate ganache which was just ok. For the grooms cake it was suppose to be red velvet but we ended up with carrot cake somehow. We selected Zoe's almost 6 months before our wedding, so we had plenty of time to make adjustments and final decisions. We also went there to buy multiple king cakes and birthday cakes prior to the wedding. The day after the wedding we went to finally have our cake and discovered it was carrot cake and not red velvet. I called the bakery and spoke with some snarky young woman who advised that we picked carrot cake. I advised her that we did not, we originally did but I had changed it in person with Shane when I was there in the spring (5 months before our wedding) to pick up a birthday cake I had ordered. I even had the staff check the file two days before the wedding when I came to drop off the final payment. Not only did I provide dates and times but even described who I spoke with each time. The snarky young lady then stated she found only one paper in my file and it stated carrot cake in my husband's handwriting so therefore it was not their fault. My husband was only with me for the initial taste testing and design selection, and never wrote anything out. We have never been back since. It should be noted I kept very detailed records while planning the wedding down to the checks, dates, times, and who I spoke with when deciding on details. I filed them all in an excel spreadsheet to track vendors and payments. The venue director stated I was the most organized bride she had ever worked with. I have an issue when some inexperienced store clerk is rude and blames me for their mistake instead of just saying "we are really sorry how, about we replace it or refund just the small cake and get you something else." That is what they should have done. I had physical proof of what was ordered. I asked to speak with Shane, the owner, but he was conveniently out. Also, the reason we did not do the carrot cake is because it was not very good when we tried it compared to the red velvet which we had tasted and ordered before. Needless to say, they lost our business. If you are looking for a good cake or pastry, I found out Fresh Market, much to my surprise, has the best bakery in the area for everyday items and I also hear Coco Beans is good as well but cannot verify as I have not personally tried it. read more

The service there is always terrible. It's like they don't care if you buy their items or not. There are other bakeries that provide better tasting, fresher options. Like previously mentioned, the last strawberry cake we purchased was terrible, the strawberries were gooey and sour. Too overpriced, terrible service, and lacking in quality and taste. read more

Zoe's has never disappointed!! Always fresh and beautifully prepared items! Try the frangipane for a really nice treat!
