French's Pastry Bakery

Friends from out of state always want the wagon wheel from French's. A nice little shop with beautiful desserts and breads. We have always been greeted with a smile and a hello. A great place to check out if you are in the area.

I am giving them a 2.67 but will round to 3 for the decent service. I actually wanted boba in the same plaza but after seeing it was closed and noticing this bakery, I went in here instead not knowing what I wanted for the first time. The cookies wrapped in 2 or 3 dozens were enticing since I have a few work meetings coming up. After asking about prices and whatnot, I decided to just try the carrot cake for the day. The employee working shared some specials to me such as $1 cupcakes on Tuesday and $5 dozen cookies after 10am on Thursday I believe. Unfortunately, the carrot cake was on the dry side and tasted from a box. I would not get that again. I might give them one more shot and return to for their special prices on cupcakes and cookies but its got to be good for me to keep returning.

Came by before it closed to see if I would be lucky to get a wagon wheel but of course not. Their wagon wheels are really delicious! Of course they would sold out by the end of the day. They had their mini wagons and I tried their strawberry and it was sooo good! Perfect size and delicious. Hits the spot. I was also craving a brownie but didn't want to get a slice but they had it in a cookie form and that was also good! Everything here hits the spot! Highly recommend their wagon wheels if you haven't had them already!

Since it was Mardi Gras and having been to 'Nawlins several times, I couldn't possibly celebrate without a little Jambalaya, a little Abita beer, and a King Cake to round it out. After making several calls to local bakeries, I was surprised that more places were not carrying King Cake. But when I called French's, the kind woman on the phone said that they had several available and was happy to put one aside for me. Hopped in the car and down the road I went.I was greeted warmly as I walked in by the staff. The place was very clean, and the smells were wonderful. They had several of the King Cakes on the counter, so I asked the woman helping me for the best one she had. She explained that they had some plain and some with pockets of apple filling. Then she said that the best one she had (with the apple) was already on hold for someone who called in just a few minutes ago. I smiled and gave her my name and she just laughed and said that she knew it was me by the voice. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for having a great sense of humor and being so kind. It can really make a person's day by being nice and having a great attitude. All of the staff laughed at the interaction between us. She gave me the saved cake, I paid my $18, threw a few bucks in the tip jar, and down the road I went again.Had the King Cake after dinner. For those that haven't had it, it is a bit more like a bread than what you think of in a traditional cake. And the apple really helps with the overall flavor, in my opinion. I've had it both ways in NOLA, so it didn't make me no nevermind, as they would say. And I ended up getting the baby in the cake piece I got, so good luck and tidings for me in the coming year to boot!Great service, good offerings, reasonable prices, I will be back again for my other pastry needs. Hope that helps someone in their decision to go.

My husband purchased two cakes for my birthday. One was delicious and the other, a tree leches fruit was pretty much spoiled and old. The cake batter tasted stale while the fruit was clearly spoiled. Unfortunately, we were pressed for time that day and had taken the tres leches cake to a relative's house, so we couldn't take the cake back plus it looked pretty bad to carry around. I called the next day but the phone line just rang. I sent a DM on Instagram and no response. Come Monday, no reply on Instagram - I sent another DM and nothing. I called during my lunch break and phone just rang. Tuesday, I sent an email and no reply. So then I called Wednesday and finally someone picked up. I explained the situation. They said they don't read their DMs. I said I sent an email, too, and they said it must be the manager's email not their general email. So I said, I emailed whatever contact you have on IG. I gave my contact information to the young lady, who mind you was courteous. It's been 2.5 weeks, I've received no phone call, no email, no DM.

I wanted to give an updated review because I got my mom and sisters birthday cake here I picked it up today it was the best cake I've ever had I got the marble cake with butter cream frosting and Bavarian cream everything about this cake was great it was delicious I highly recommend them if you need a cake .

I looooove sweets and this place takes the cake! Their cupcakes, breads, cakes and cookies are shamzing! And did I say the have 1.00 cupcake Tuesdays!!! They have limit but you can feed a small classroom! They are soLight and fluffy. My go to for cupcakes now! And their streusel and danishes. Delicious.

I placed an order with French's Bakery on October 27th (picked up Nov 4th) for a SpongeBob themed cake for my 25th birthday. I emailed the bakery with 4 pictures and a video of the cake I wanted, as well as a written understanding that I knew it was a detailed order and letting them know that if it wasn't possible to make my cake, let me know so I can find a bakery that can accommodate . I was told that they can do everything, minus the pearls...I accepted and paid at pick up on Nov 4th. I also double checked that a week would be ample time to make my order. Unfortunately upon pickup, I was disappointed to see that the cake didn't look like what I had asked for or what I had communicated with the bakery. The blue was super dark and the birthday writing was missing altogether from the top of the cake. There's also little clear flecks on the top of the cake. They kinda look like sprinkles but they're only on half the cake...I never asked for sprinkles. It just overall looked like a rushed job. There was a noticeable difference in the decorating quality of my cake versus the other beautiful cakes and pastries in their cases. The lady at the counter said she couldn't scrape anything off the top (to avoid making a mess) and that the decorator was not in the bakery to fix the cake. She said that he is usually very busy in the mornings and assumed that it probably was an oversight....super disappointing to miss one of the more important parts of a birthday cake. The lady ended up offering to write in the wording on a clear piece of plastic and stick it on top of the cake or I could take it as is. She ended up taking $20 off of the final price. I took my cake home and tried my best to make it look how I had hoped... I was very excited to pick up the cake and see how it turned out. I and other coworkers have ordered cakes/pastries from French's and haven't been dissatisfied. I know my disappointment showed on my face. The taste was very lackluster. It was a light angel food style cake, nothing about the filling resembled the strawberry mouse I chose as recommended my the woman that took my order over the phone. She said it was her favorite...‍. The layers weren't leveled, so there were big pockets of frosting on the sides of the cake layers. I attached pictures of what it was supposed to look like, how it looked when I picked it up, and what it looked like after I took it home to "fix" it, as well as what it looked like inside. Moral of the story...If you don't have the time or staff allotted to fulfill quality orders, don't accept them. If there are discrepancies with an order, call the customer.

I bought 4 large cookies today around 2:30pm. The 4 large cookies came out to exactly $15.40 (not cheap). They looked great in the case . This is my first time ever buying any pastries from French's and I was beyond disappointed. I'm not sure if this is how their cookies always are or if I randomly got sold old cookies but 3 out of 4 of my cookies were dry as sand. You can see in the photos provided that these cookies were completely dried out. When I broke the cookie in half to try it...the cookie literally SNAPPED ...there was zero ounce of softness or moisture in these cookies. I hope they reevaluate their timeliness of selling their cookies or have better quality control because this was ridiculous.

King cake was delicious and ready on time. Grabbed a fresh loaf of French bread also, they sliced it up for me too. Made great sandwiches with it......I'll be back to try some more goodies soon
