Nonna Randazzo's Italian Bakery

*King Cake Review!!*Are y'all sick of my king cake reviews yet? I hope not because I have quite a few more. This one is a little different, though, because it's for a shipped king cake. Now before you purists get your Mardi Gras feathers in a ruffle....yes, I do know all about the Randazzo family drama (if you don't, Google it) and the different bakeries that encompass said drama. There have even been lawsuits over the Randazzo family name and you might very well have had a Randazzo's king cake from a bakery with an entirely different name. One thing is for sure, whether it has the Randazzo's name or another one entirely (hi...Caluda's) their recipe is the bomb and is the very best in alllll of king cake land, and that is a hill I'm willing to die on. I have always wondered if a king cake that has been shipped is just as amazing as if you had gone and picked it up yourself. I have shipped king cakes before and my recipients always say they're good but let's face it, they might just be saying that to spare my feelings. And besides, a shipped cake that's below par is better than no king cake at all...am I right? So I was never positive if I could trust they were just as good. This year I shipped one to my brutally honest kid who just moved out of state. I knew she'd tell me the truth, whether I wanted to hear it or not. After her initial elated excitement of getting a piece of Louisiana shipped straight to her door several states away, she and her hubby dug in and she said, and I quote, "mom it's so good, so fresh and soft, so unbelievably amazing I feel like I'm in Louisiana right now eating it" and continued to rave about it all day to me, Facebook, her new neighbors, literally everyone. Then the next day (and this is the best review of all) she asked me if I wanted to see something embarrassing. Of course I do, lol. She texted me a picture of the king cake, (knife in the box...of course) with only one tiny little slice left. They DEVOURED it in less than 12 hours. I rest my case, your honor.If you have out-of-town people who love Louisiana, and are missing it like crazy, do them a solid and ship them a king cake and ship it from one of the Randazzo's. It's pricy but so worth it! My daughter actually cried real tears getting that king cake delivered. Do it y'all!

This place is small, and full of local items for purchase, usually a table in the middle with bakery items for sale, and two long counters full of cakes as well as other baked goods. Not a lot of room to sit, but there is a bit. I have to tell you, the baked goods from this business are absolutely delicious. There's something about the dough that turns into the best king cakes, danish, etc that you'll ever want to eat. There is really nothing I've gotten here that I didn't love. But, what I will also tell you is don't expect overly friendly service. I've been in numerous times, and I can't say that I've been treated greeted or treated with anything other than what felt like I was a just a "next" on the list of things to do. No smiles, no niceties, no happy times, no kind looks. Almost as if helping me was an interruption in their day. And Even when no one else is waiting, there's a feeling of being rushed to make your purchase. Once they even left out part of my purchase in the hurry. I do love the bakery goods here, but I have to ask myself if it's actually worth the feelings I have after each purchase, that comes from the service. This is a 5 Star bakery, with 2 Star Service. Because of these things, It averages out to a 3 in my book.

We purchase several donuts and King cakes. The prices are good and the food is better.

The best king cake on the Northshore. The best Italian cookies on earth. Their donuts are gigantic pillows of yummy happiness. They also have doberge cake, eclairs, cream puffs, cannoli ... and everything tastes amazing. Staff isn't the happiest but who cares lol. I'm usually in and out within 5 minutes. If you're looking for a king cake locally for a person who has never tried one you should definitely go here. It's consistently good.

Nonna Randazzo's Bakery is the closest to my house and we love the king cake, pastries and donuts. It's smells amazing when you walk in and you tend to try different pastries with you go, so far I had no disappointments. The staff is great and they get you in and out. King cake season you have a little wait but it moves pretty fast. You can order your king cake ahead of time and pick it up the same day. They also serve lunch.

Oh man this was delicioussss!!! I has never had a King Cake before and one of my friends had them next day air it out for me and my family (In California). We all love it!!!! Thank you so much for sending it out to us and making last minute accommodations. I have always wanted to go to Louisiana especially during Mardi Gras to see the culture and the environment. I look forward to being able to come in the future and experience everything in person. For now we got a sweet taste of Louisiana even though we're a great distance away! I super appreciate it and now I can say I have tried LA king cake!!! Thank you so much for the goodies. Looking forward to trying out much more in the future.

They have amazing selections of pastries, cookies, desserts and more. The mini eclair was absolutely delicious. The pastry shell has a pleasant, light, crunchy texture. The filling was just right. Not too sweet, not too dense. We will visit again.

I did not try anything at Nonna Radazzo's Italian bakery, I went there expecting a bakery, where thing are made in house, it surprised me that it did not have that bakery smell, in fact it smelled like burnt coffee. When I asked the lady working the counter if they made the king cakes she informed me that they did not the production factory did, so I inquired about the petit fours, which they also do not make. I asked if they bake anything and she informed me that they only bake the muffins and everything else came from the production factory, she claims is right down the street. This place lies and calls itself a bakery, no it's an after market retail shop. They are charging fresh bakery prices for Walmart packaged goods. They should state that nothing is made in house on their website so people do not travel expecting fresh baked goods. If I wanted what they are serving I could have saved gas and went to Walmart.

Food and service were outstanding. Wines and presentation were very good. Wonderful evening.

This review is specifically about Nonna Randazzos king cakes. My boyfriend thought he was getting me the good (Manny) Randazzos king cakes when he saw the name Randazzos on king cakes at carnival mart. When he brought them home I thought "oh no" but decided to give them a try anyway because I figured how bad could they be? Spoiler: BAD. I open the box to what is the fugliest train-wreck of a king cake I've ever seen. It was the sloppiest worst looking king cake I've ever laid my eyes on. The look alone made me lose my appetite for it. Then I tasted it. It was super dry, the icing was on the bottom of the box not even on the cake, the fillings were all clumped together and tasted bad. 100% honesty: it was worse than a walmart king cake. At least Walmart's cardboard cake looks pretty.
