If you're looking for an authentic, delicious King Cake, Antoine's delivers…read more This fantastic Black-owned bakery knows exactly what they're doing. The King Cake was fresh, soft, and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, with just the right amount of icing and traditional Mardi Gras flair. The texture was spot on: light, fluffy, and flavorful in every bite. You can taste the quality and care that goes into their baking. It feels like a true neighborhood staple and a place worth supporting. Highly recommend during Carnival season or anytime you're craving something special.

Not wanting to leave empty-handed...I grabbed a slice of cake and some sweet potato pie...and let me tell you...both were absolutely excellent...rich, flavorful, and worth every bite...that alone convinced me it would be worth making a return trip...so much so...I actually changed my travel plans from 4am to 6am just to try those beignets. The next morning...I arrived right at 6am...along with about five other customers already waiting outside...we stood there expecting the doors to open...but after a while...one customer called inside and was told they couldn't open because they didn't have a cashier yet...one by one...everyone left. I stayed until about 6:15am...hoping things would turn around...but eventually had to leave as well. That was definitely disappointing...especially knowing they lost at least five or more customers that morning. I'm really hoping this was just a one-time situation...because based on the cake and pie alone...this place has something special...I'll definitely give them another shot on my next visit... but hopefully next time...the service matches the quality of the desserts.

We were looking for a sweet treat after dinner down the road and came here. They label some of…read moretheir pastries for allergens so we picked the peanut butter dome and the lavande citron cake since those didn't have gluten. I liked the dome but really didn't taste much peanut butter, the fudge mousse dominated the flavor. I thought it would taste more like a Reese's than it did. The citron cake was decent, not what I expected, and was very sweet. If I came back, I would probably try other treats if they were gluten free. The location is cute and they have like 2 little tables to sit inside.

However, this review is about customer service. I took my sister-in-law in during this Mardi Gras to buy her first real King Cake. (How does that happen? She's in her 50's!) They didn't have lemon (!), so we settled on Bavarian Creme. Bad move. Credit where credit is due: Quick check out even though there was a solid line. The first two bites we each took that evening we were taken aback. Tasted like rum was added to the creme. We had seen other boxes marked that alcohol was used, but this one wasn't marked this way so we were comfortable buying it. We both laughed at "who puts rum in Bavarian Creme? New Orleans!" But we now had a cake we would not eat. The voice message I left the next day went unanswered. We gave the cake away to some young guys my husband works with. She picked up an apple King Cake on her way home, but I'm good with taking my King Cake business elsewhere. And if the argument is there wasn't rum in it it just tasted like it, then someone should have called to say so. (It was still an unpleasant flavor for a Bavarian Creme.)

Best King Cake in the city - Hands down! Not to mention…read moretheir customer service was wonderful. There was an event in our neighborhood on Kings Day, requiring that our street be blocked off. Of course we needed our first King Cake of the season, so we went at the opening time listed on Google. Unfortunately this was the incorrect time, however they went out of their way to ensure that we received our King Cake! Not make bakeries would have done this, especially when the mistake was ours (the correct time was posted on their Facebook page, which I had not checked). Thanks again, Caywood & Randazzo!

Extremely disappointing and not authentic French pastries…read more Visited Chez Pierre French Bakery & Café on Sat, Nov 8, 2025 at 5:50 PM (Order #34). Address: 3208 Clearview Pkwy, Metairie, LA 70006. Items: Mini Linzer Torte (x2), Almond Ganache, Medium Fruit Tart, Regular Napoleon. Total: $23.13. Every item tasted stale and poorly made. The Napoleon was soggy and bland--nothing like the crisp layered pastry it should be--and went straight into the trash. The fruit tart and linzer tortes were dry, and the almond ganache lacked freshness and flavor. If you're going to call your bakery French, at least have a chef trained in classic French pastry techniques preparing the pastries. I'm surprised by the high rating given this experience. Won't return
