Recommended to us by a family member. On visit from BR, we stopped in here to try some of the famous turtle cookies; they were delicious. The sugar cookie was perfect, and the chocolate mousse wasn't overly sweet. Also tried the mini eclair while in there, and it was perfection.

I'm giving them five stars because I have absolutely love their king cakes they are my favorite. Technically they are my second favorite but since McKenzie's king cakes no longer exist they have now bumped up to my favorite next I like Randazzo's and there's a bakery on the West Bank called Antoine's who sells a good king cake I am a king cake snob and I will not just eat one from anywhere. Although I will say when we went into the store last weekend I felt the woman at the counter who waited on us could have been a little more pleasant when we asked for a king cake always simply needed was a we don't have that and more sold out answer and in a very condescending tone she said we don't have any plan king cakes left we're technically supposed to be closing at 4 so we're sold out I know it was 15 minutes to 4 when we walked in the door and we knew there was a possibility that they wouldn't have a king cake and I feel like no ma'am we're out of that would have been sufficed without the attitude she threw behind the we're closing at 4 I probably wouldn't shop there no more just because of the way that she talked to me and my family because behind us there was still a line out the door but I like their king cakes so unfortunately I'll have to shop here because they're my favorite whether their employees are rude or not

Haydel has been good in past but my recent visits have been unsatisfying the latest and likely the last was a bday cake instead of pineapple filling it was stuffed with icing and pieces of pineapple the cake wasn't fresh and the worst part is the icing tasted like chloraseptic so no more haydels for me.

I was excited to try the almond croissant for the high ratings, seems to be decent quality, however I was surprised there was a cream in the croissant, I am used to an almond paste, so was somewhat dissapointed.

I read all the great reviews on line before I stopped by. The place smells great from the second you walk in the door. I asked one of the ladies behind the counter if they make all their things in the same area? I have a peanut / nut allergies. Unfortunately, they do. I didn't want to take a chance. I gave five stars because there was a steady stream of customers going here and this many people can't be wrong.

About Haydel's Bakery

Haydel's Bakery: A Legacy of Deliciousness

For over three generations, Haydel's Bakery has been a household name in New Orleans. This Guinness record-holding bakery has been treating locals and visitors alike to the finest fresh-baked cookies, cakes, and pastries for decades. With a commitment to quality ingredients and traditional baking techniques, Haydel's Bakery has become an institution in the city.

History

Haydel's Bakery was founded in 1959 by Lloyd Haydel Sr., who had a passion for baking that he inherited from his mother. He started out small, selling his baked goods door-to-door before opening his first storefront on Magazine Street. The bakery quickly gained popularity among locals who couldn't resist the delicious smells emanating from its ovens.

Over time, Lloyd Sr.'s sons joined him in the business and helped expand it into what it is today. Today, Lloyd Jr., Gary, and David run the bakery with their children continuing the family tradition.

Haydel's Bakery is known for its wide variety of baked goods that are made fresh daily using only high-quality ingredients. From king cakes to petit fours to wedding cakes, there is something for everyone at this bakery.

One of their most popular items is their king cake which comes in various flavors such as cinnamon sugar or cream cheese-filled. During Mardi Gras season (which runs from January 6th until Fat Tuesday), people flock to Haydel's Bakery to get their hands on one of these delicious treats.

Quality Ingredients

At Haydel's Bakery quality ingredients are key! They use only pure butter instead of margarine which gives their products a richer flavor profile than other bakeries that use cheaper substitutes. They also use real vanilla extract instead of imitation vanilla flavoring which adds depth and complexity to their baked goods.

Their flour comes from local mills ensuring freshness while supporting local businesses at the same time! And when it comes to decorating cakes they use only high-quality fondant rather than cheaper alternatives like whipped cream frosting which can melt easily under hot conditions making them less durable during transport!
