Haydel's Bake Shop — Restaurant in New Orleans

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Haydel’s Bake Shop on Magazine St in New Orleans, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The King Cakes, a New Orleans staple, were nothing short of phenomenal. The perfect blend of flavors and the richness of the cake made it a true delight.

What surprised me even more was the coffee. In a city renowned for its coffee culture with places like Cafe du Monde and Cafe Beignet, Haydel’s managed to outshine them. The coffee was robust and flavorful, complementing the sweetness of the King Cake impeccably.

Service at Haydel’s was another highlight. The staff was not only friendly but also went above and beyond to make the visit enjoyable. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to assist made the overall experience memorable.

If you're in New Orleans and craving an outstanding King Cake paired with exceptional coffee, Haydel’s Bake Shop on Magazine St is a must-visit. It has undoubtedly secured its place as a top contender in the city's vibrant...

Nothing beats walking around Nola (we did about 8 miles this day!) and hitting up all the good eating and drinking spots! Well, if you’re on Magazine Street near the Irish Channel area this is a must stop!! Every delicious bake item you could ever want. We focused on the Doberge cake slices (and they have entire little cakes as well); the Gooey cakes (can’t beat the traditional Almond gooey); and a couple cookies (original chocolate chip and also the toffee). Every item was SO delicious. And the service and friendly, lovely lady behind the counter was so nice. We enjoyed talking with her and getting her recommendations. Thank you!!! Hope you will enjoy like we did. And PS… we have learned that they ship and deliver. Yikes. We will be...

The best service, the woman helping me out was so friendly and gave some recommendations on what flavors to get. I ended up getting the caramel doberge cake and a slice of king cake.

Doberge cake: The cake itself tasted really good and was super moist. The custard didn't really taste like much though, but it had a nice creamy texture. The caramel icing tasted really really good, but it was waaaaay too sweet. If it had 1/4 of the sugar, it would've been more enjoyable.

King cake: It was basically just a stale cinnamon roll with way too much frosting on top. I wouldn't recommend it.

Everything was just so overly sweet, and the things I got weren't super memorable. I don't think I'd try anything...
