Haydel's Bake Shop

The best king cake I've ever had!!!! The king cake was recommended by many locals. You must try this spot! I had the cream cheese king cake. It was PERFECT!! You will not be disappointed!! The bake shop was adorable inside with many options. I was pleasantly surprised with the great service we had! You will not be disappointed to try this cute gem!

We were walking back to the car from our lunch at Miss Shirley's and our sweet tooth got the best of us. They had a good selection of sweets and a great coffee bar. Great pop in place to fix your sweet tooth.

Cute local bakery with friendly employees, reasonable prices. Their pastries are just delicious! Parking in front is paid, so be aware of that.

THE place to get King Cake. We got the traditional. They had other baked goods that looked so good! Service was great. The owner had a great sense of humor when she gave my daughter a hard time for grabbing a fork and knife for her king cake. Ambience was delightful. Great bake shop.

This bakery is so yummy. We are tourists and wanted to visit the non tourist spots. Glad we did. The almond gooey, fruit tart, and danish are to die for. Wish I had brought some home with us. My mom said the coffee is the best she's ever had.

I was craving a sweet dessert after my lobster roll so I stopped by Haydel's. I picked out the glazed cinnamon raisin bun, toffee cookie, and the king cake gooey bar. The desserts were amazing but the service was the bragging point here! Shawna was so sweet and asked me about my day and plans and we had a wonderful conversation! Wonderful woman made the experience so much sweeter! I very much enjoyed the bakery items and believe they're fairly priced which is a huge deal to me. I have tried Sucre more times than I should have and everytime they were double the price for what you got and they were nothing special to me. I have eaten at all the best bakeries in Paris but all I expect is you to put effort into your desserts and charge a fair price. Haydel's does just that and I felt much more at home in there, like your Grandmom's kitchen. It is the opposite of corporate feel. I look forward to going back!

This review is only for the Strawberry Cream Cheese King Cake. I convinced my friend and his wife to join me on New Orleans trip at the end of January through the second week of February. They had never considered coming in Winter until I described Mardi Gras parade season so he ended up bringing his 2 sons and daughter-in-law. I wanted to share as much of parade season experiences with them as possible so it wasn't just catching so many beads they all looked like they each had a Mr. T starter kit Part of the parade season experience included King Cake so on a day of walking almost 4 miles total around NOLA, we were on Magazine Street for a great deal of afternoon window shopping and I came across Haydel's; I remembered that it was one of the better King Cake bakeries that friends of friends had for a King Cake tasting party a few years ago (pre-Pandemic when we didn't worry about group gatherings). I went in and got one of the last King Cakes they had that day. I bought the last Strawberry Cream Cheese they had and the six of us thoroughly enjoyed it for breakfast the next day, and finished it as an afternoon snack. The King Cake flavor worked well as it wasn't overly sweet, and was a great accompaniment for both coffee and milk. I would buy Haydel's King Cake again on future trips even if I have to eat it all myself (and that could get ugly).

Super friendly staff and tasty pastries. Loved the Russian Petite Four. So good. Also quick service

We came here first thing in the morning when they opened. I assumed that would be the best time to arrive to get the best picks, but that was clearly not the case as there was not much to choose from, and I guess leftovers from the previous day since there were a lot of items where there was only one left or empty trays full of crumbs.What we got:King cake slice King cake ooey gooey barBoth items were fantastic. Just knocking off a star for service (never welcomed in or talked to) and the fact that things looked messy/disorganized/picked apart for a bakery first thing in the morning.

I went yesterday and ordered multiple items. I was rung up and paid while my items were being boxed up across the shop. I spent right at $70 after the total and tip. When I got home, I opened the tape on the box to discover that one of my items was never given to me. I reached out to the shop on Facebook because they don't have a regular website but received a period "." as the response. I sent another message asking if there was a regular website to use to contact someone about the issue but never received a response. I would have probably just eaten the money and let it go if it wasn't for the responses (or lack thereof) that I had received when reaching out. I run a business so I know that they easily could look back at the transactions and see what was rung up vs what can be seen being boxed up on camera. I just don't think that refusing to respond to customers is good service.
