The Ambrosia Bakery's Fresh Strawberry Cake is light, delicate, and absolutely delicious. While the fresh strawberries are the star, what stood out most to me was the cake itself. It has that soft, tender texture that brought back memories of the homemade cakes my mom and grandmother used to bake. The presentation is beautiful, with fresh strawberries peeking out between the layers, making it look as fresh as it tastes. Every bite feels like a little taste of home. A true Louisiana favorite that's worth every bite. read more

I was a bit hungry so stopped at Ambrosia for something to go. I saw a sign with these Bacon Dipped Pancakes and oh my goodness! They are delicious. I did not even need the syrup or butter. The portion size is very big and I could only eat one. The service was amazing with lots of smiling faces in there. The only teeny tiny complaint is that it took a bit to get them however, everything is made fresh so somewhat expected. I am not a big breakfast person but this will be my go-to for now on. read more

The Ambrosia Bakery - Bacon Dipped Pancakes (3) - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I avoid Siegen lane, at all costs. But this day I found myself craving a slice of cake. And as I was out shopping, enjoy my afternoon I realized that I had to make my way to ambrosia for some treats for myself. I wish I would have asked the name of the young lady assisting me, but she was so patient, as I selected my treats, then stopped, then selected more, then stopped, then selected more. There is so much to choose from, each time I thought I was done I turned around and there was something else I wanted read more

Ambrosia is the best for specialty cakes. Highly recommend the almond cake with strawberry filling!

Ambrosia is truly a Baton Rouge staple. I've ordered just about every birthday cake over the last 8 years from them. The quality and taste is consistent. The ordering process for custom cakes is really seamless! And they can create just about anything you like. They also made my wedding cake 3 years ago! I will be a life long customer. If you haven't experienced Ambrosia, definitely try their signature strawberry cake! It's top tier for sure! read more

The Ambrosia Bakery - Macaroon cake 10" Round - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Great breakfast and best doberge cake anywhere. We compared theirs with the other famous bakery and hands down Ambrosia won

A dessert lover's heaven.. myself included! From doughnuts to cake pops to cannolis to bread, Ambrosia literally has it all, and you don't even need to order ahead because all of this was in the case! Right on Siegen, this is the perfect location for a bakery in my opinion. It is a huge building with plenty of parking, and you can see it clearly from the street unlike most bakeries. I went at 8:30am on Saturday, and there were customers! I didn't wait in a line because they were tons of employees working, which I really liked. I just wanted to pick up some late Valentines treats for some friends, so I just wanted a treat box. Everything was displayed perfectly and prices were easily read. Again, so many options to pick from. I ended up going with this huge brownie thing, two cookies, two cake pops, and a cream puff. I thought I was going to break the bank, but man I was wrong. All of this was under $20 and was ready when I was done deciding what I want. I was so pleasantly surprised. They also had treats displayed around the store if you didn't want to pick out of the case. For wedding cakes, they have their own part of the store! They did a really good job organizing this bakery and making room for everything. I will totally be back with an empty stomach haha. read more

If you want a king cake or wedding cake or pie or cookies, this is the place. Or really anything sweet. They are super sweet in there. Your cakes can be ordered online ahead of time and await your arrival for pick up. I ate my goodies before taking pictures but it was all good. No fake chemical taste in any of the cake pieces I bought. The cake balls were great. The cookies were great. The lemon squares were great. You get the point-it was all fantastic. read more

I haven't had a king cake from Ambrosia Bakery in years. I live in Alabama now and ordered a king cake i ordered the Raspberry Cream Cheese. I was so disappointed. It had hardly any filling. Was just all pastry. I won't be ordering anything else from there. Definitely now what I remember. read more

I had the best experience ordering my son's first birthday cake from Ambrosia! After several guests canceled, they were quick and kind in helping me adjust my order. On top of that, they called me back after noticing I ordered a small cake as a smash cake and let me know they offer one for free for first birthdays. Such thoughtful service. On top of that, the cake was exactly what I wanted--simple, beautiful and delicious! My guests loved it. Highly recommend the yellow cake with a chocolate buttercream filling and white icing. Exactly what a birthday cake should be! Beyond pleased--we will continue to use Ambrosia for our celebrations. read more

The Ambrosia Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

We just picked up a king cake and it was great! I wish they had more size options on the shelves and a few more flavors for the individual slices, but I was able to find a good alternative for the cake I needed. The workers were very friendly and the checkout process was quick and easy! Definitely try a king cake from here if you haven't before! read more

This was my first time getting a whole King Cake, and it did not disappoint! They offer a variety of flavors, but I went with the classic cinnamon and it was delicious. The cake comes with a baby Jesus inside, so be careful since the figure is quite small. The outside of the cake was festive and beautifully decorated, though I do wish it had a bit more filling. One suggestion would be to add iced coffee to the menu, as they told me they only offer hot coffee on the day I visited. The service was great, friendly, and efficient. Even though there was a long line, it moved fast. Overall, a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Forgive my ignorance but I always thoughts bakeries are akin to donut establishments and also since the last time I went to Ambrosia , it served breakfast I assumed it opened early---thought it did open early 5 years ago---so when I showed up at 7:40 am today I was shocked it was closed ---but Instead of just leaving I went to the front door and saw that they opened at 8:00 am---so I ran another errand and returned between 8:15 am and 8:30 am and Ambrosia was busy filling orders for the 6-7 people in there----so, what did I get---after all this place has a lot of things to offer--cookies, cupcakes, cake, pies, cinnamon rolls, bear claws and many different pastries--including fruit based offerings---well, I ordered a cinnamon roll, a croissant, 2 fancy fruit tart, and 2 chocolate covered strawberries---all turned out satisfying & yummy. As I write this, we are beginning carnival/Mardi Gras season so of course there were many king cakes with different flavor options tempting the shopper who looks around. My shopping experience at Ambrosia had none of the impoliteness and or negative activity other reviewers indicates they experienced---the 2 people who served me were polite, patient and knowledgeable---just what this fella needs when he walks into a bakery not knowing what to get and desiring suggestions/assistance. I am more than happy to return sooner than later, perhaps the next time around lunch so I can try their Ambrosia burger, or just to order different pastries/sweets. read more

The bakery is excellent. They have figured out the recipe. The kids running the store are nice, respectful, courteous, etc. The one hang up is they have not figured out how to get the checkout line moving. You could stand in line to check out for 30 minutes at the wrong time of day. read more

I live in Lake Charles and buy about 6 king cakes from Ambrosia each Mardi Gras. On one of my trips I bought a cream cheese strawberry. When I cut into it the cream cheese was slimy. 2 weeks later when I was back in BR I asked Ambrosia to credit that one as I was there to buy another one too. After a 20 min wait I was informed that unless I could bring in a piece of it I could not receive credit. read more

Ambrosia Bakery used to be really good. Now I find the service a little shotty. The owners are still awesome but some of their workers well, let's just say they need to be vetted a little bit better. I've noticed that they're not really consistent and a lot of their items taste like box pastry. Also, their new way of taking orders is really interesting. You order at the counter and you don't get your items until you actually cash out at the cash register. Maybe they've been duped a couple of times. Also, when I go to a bakery, I want to pick the item that I want not the item that the person is serving me wants to give me an all truth. I'm paying for it so give the customer what they want. I'm sorry Ambrosia you were my go to, but I'm a little disappointed now so I choose to go someplace else. read more

Bought a king cake raspberry filled. It had raw dough on the bottom, very little filling and stale. It the worst king cake I ever had and I've had a lot of king cakes. read more

This is Baton Rouge top rated bakery for a reason. When you walk through the front door, you want to eat everything because it is so fresh and so well-executed. Might be a tad pricy but you have to pay for quality. Also have the best cake designers in BR. read more

Nice array of pastries. It was my first time visiting, as I was going to pick up a ticket.

The service in this store was terrible. A staff member told me they have a policy that customers cannot choose the cake they want and must follow the order strictly from top to bottom and left to right. This policy is ridiculous and makes no sense. I would not recommend this store. read more

We were desperate to find a place with a last minute chocolate pie available to pick up before thanksgiving and this was the only location that would hold one for us. The pie was very tasty but kind of seemed as if the pastry crust was frozen and not fresh. The pie had an amazing flavor though and the strawberry cake was amazing as well! read more

At one time they were really good. I haven't had anything worth the price in over 6 years. I've stopped in a number of times this year and each time I was disappointed. Today I only ordered a brownie. I never knew a brownie from a bakery could be so dry. It was horrible. Great service. Intriguing ambiance. I'm done! read more

Called twice around 10 am to see if they had strawberry cakes. No answer either time. Went there physically and purchased a 6" strawberry cake for $42 today. Got home and cut two slices, no strawberries. Just cake and strawberry flavored icing. Did I need to pay more for the strawberries? read more

The Ambrosia Bakery - Slice of strawberry cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

They have a very inviting environment. Their variety of Sweet treats makes it difficult to only buy what you were looking for. Hmmm.

Food, service, ambiance...Ambrosia Bakery delivers it all! This place has been my go-to for years. No matter where I am in the city, I will travel to Ambrosia for a sweet treat. For every birthday and special event, an Ambrosia cake has been on our table. They treat me so kindly when I come through the doors and when they aren't busy (which is rare) they always make time to chat. Their cake squares are ADDICTIVE! 10/10 recommend ! read more

What an amazing bakery with a plethora of items. I walked in expecting the usual dull baked goods but oh no, baby, you come in here and you're getting served up well. I got the fancy looking apple and blueberry fritters, lemon and cheese danish, and a cheese pastry...to share of course lol. There's a kitchen serving hot foods with indoor and outdoor dining areas for your seating enjoyment. There's also a dedicated space for special orders and a wedding cake area to peruse. It appears that you can order any type of baked good your mind imagines as well as selecting from the many delectable prepared goods in the glass casings. Many baked items are on sale throughout the store like those 6 slices of cream cheese and lemon poppy seeds pound cake. They have a few kiosk type stands with non-baked items that warrants and adds to a pleasurable shopping experience. Customer service is excellent and I absolutely enjoyed my first time visit here. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for high quality, fresh baked goods to visit The Ambrosia. read more

I stopped in on New Years Eve to get a Strawberry Cake and was immediately greeted by the same girl who assisted me, her name was Sam. She was extremely outgoing, made recommendations on other items and even sold me cookies along with the cake for the party. It seemed like she was the only one that wanted to help as she was helping other customers while the other employees were talking and cutting up. The cashier that checked me out, Harley was also kind and was outgoing. The store it's self is some what dated. This was my 1st time in and the cake was ok, not the great cake I heard about, not fresh and was average. Ralph's in Gonzales has one that has a much better flavor, fresher and half the price. Great Job to Sam and Harley for at least making the visit a good one, they are the reason I will return. The store is in need of an update, it kind of reminds me of a 90's flower shop that they put a bakery in. read more

I ordered a strawberry cake which was horrible. It tasted as if there was no sugar in it. Also the strawberry on top of the cake looked old. This is my second and last visit to this business. The first time I ordered a Danish it was stale. The second visit was the deciding factor for me. They were very nice when they responded to my concern but I didn't feel it was sincere. I felt as if they were saying ok dont come back. Thats what happens when you get big I guess. I threw the cake away. And just chalked it up. read more
