King Cake Hub

This is a pop up store that runs during Mardi Gras season. If your like me and don't want to run all over town to try varieties of King Cakes then this is the place for you. Lots of choices here and it seems like the inventory changes all the time. It's your King Cake one stop shop! they even have G Free cakes too!

It's that time of year again.... King Cake Season! I've already visited three times since the season began, and I'm loving the new bakery additions, including Gambino's and newer brands like Tartine. The assortment of children's books and Mardi Gras-themed goodies, is fantastic! One suggestion I have is to implement a loyalty program--perhaps a "buy five king cakes, get the sixth free" offer. Just something to consider!

Love this place! Their friendly and helpful service got me so happy after the way I was badly treated at Dong Phuong a few days ago (they were so arrogant with their products) and it was sold out. We bought 7 cakes back to share with our friends and family. This place wants to sell us cakes and gave us excellent customer service. They appreciate we came! Wow! Felt so inviting with the greetings and smiles. I think that's what a good business supposed to treat their customers like (sarcasm). They have so many varieties from so many different famous bakeries (thank goodness the one we boycott are not here) We came about 11am on a rainy day and staff were still very cheerful in helping us. Thank you!

I've been coming here since they were at their old location by the theater on N. Broad. It's a new location @ Zony Mash, but it's the same fantastic service. I'm always greeted warmly when I enter the building. I lucked up today. I came BEFORE Lundi Gras (unlike last year). They were stocked fully, and I was able to get my coveted brand. They carry most king cakes from the popular bakeries around town, so you should see some of your faves displayed.

So no one told me there was a whole king cake hub in Nola with majority of all the awesome Nola bakeries. Had to make a trip to Dong Phuong so took a side trip to this amazing place. Love that they offer individual/small boxes for you to sample if your not sure about the big box on most of the offerings.Get there early to have the wall to wall selection experience. I will be back to get some other king cakes before the season is over.

It's hard for me to do a fair assessment because they were out of 90% of the King Cakes. The girls working up front were super nice and explained they get a fresh supply every morning but sell out fast! I did still leave with an Almond Joy King Cake. I learned from the super nice girls that NOCCO (which appears to be the New Orleans Culinary Arts School) make an Apple and Goat Cheese King Cake. They had me at Goat Cheese! Now I have to get one of these! Still a fun place to visit but go early! I'd say it's a must for Carnival season!

One stop shop for many of the popular area king cakes. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

New location by Zony Mash and still fabulous! I had great timing as it was cold and rainy mid morning so there was no line. I took my time looking around inside and had to seriously restrain myself because not a single king cake was out of stock. They even had Brennan's bananas foster. The only picture I got was of the king cake on a stick which I remember from years past and is a brilliant idea. I also love that it comes with a baby. Plenty of space to social distance and workers were very friendly. Some cool gift items in there too. I'll be making many trips this season!

Made a quick weekend visit to Nola, you CAN'T go to Nola without getting a King's cake. I looked up where I could get one, and this is one of the recommendations. What I love about this is that they get supplies of King Cakes from other bakeries that make them and sell them there. Like it says, it's a hub. I arrived a little late in the day and there weren't many options left. I got the Lemon King Cake and it was definitely delicious! Soft brioche with lemon filling and fun green/ yellow/ purple sprinkles with sweet icing. I was hoping for the baby to be inside but the baby was sitting in the middle in plain sight.

Okay, so full disclosure, this place was a bit hard to find, but only because I didn't check out their site before I left the house. I wanted to go to the King Cake Hub, so I just typed it into Google Maps and drove over. What I didn't know was that the address listed with Maps was for a location on South Broad, but they've moved since then. When I got there, I found a sign on the door of their older location directing us to their new location at Zony Mash (only a mile and a half down the road).TL;DR - Their locations are listed and up-to-date on their website, so check their webpage!!This is a small little shop with a good variety of king cakes from different bakeries, so it's convenient!I got Hi-Do bakery's cream cheese filled king cake ($22). It was FANTASTIC. SO soft and moist, fresh, with plenty of delicious cream cheese filling in the middle! My boyfriend always said he didn't like king cakes, but that's because he never had any really good ones. He changed his mind and LOVED this one! He was like, "I guess I like king cakes now!"
