13 Best Bakeries near Violet

“Cheesecake Heidi is amazing!!! I needed cheesecake for a birthday at the last minute, and I wound up ordering a bunch of different small cakes. Heidi was super communicative and sweet, got the order together in time, and the cheesecakes are sooooooo goooooooood! I’m so glad I found this spot, definitely will be my go to for special events.“

“We preordered a catering package of mini donuts and chicken tenders for a Girl Scout trip w 11 people! We needed something quick to go between our White House and Capital tours. The order was done when we arrived. The chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned and cooked, so crunchy and moist. And the donuts were amazing! Great assortment of flavors and nice sweet dough. This was also our cheapest meal of the trip which was an added bonus!“

“I stopped here on the way home from New Orleans, only 2 miles off I-10, so not really out of the way. We have a long drive, so I selected a steamed char sui bun, Pate Chaud, meat pie, Crawfish pie, coconut macaroons, mochi, and a pineapple bar. Omg, the Crawfish pie! It had so much filling, Crawfish, bamboo shoots, scallions, and seasonings I'm not sure of, but it was very spicy and delicious! I'm trying to find a recipe for it in my Vietnamese cooking group, because Google turned up nothing. The Pate Chaud was delicious too, but not as much filling as I wanted. The coconut macaroons were amazing, and surprisingly made without sweetened condensed milk, but you would never know that except for the ingredient list. The pineapple bar was not too sweet, as it looked, perfect for me. The mochi were delicious, with the all familiar chew. Have two more pies to sample, but I have no doubt they will be delicious too!“

“Amazing Event Cakes — We had a formal event this weekend for which Bywater provided our cakes. The chocolate peanut butter was to die for. The other cake was not what we ordered but we loved it just the same. If you need a cake for any occasion, we highly recommend Bywater Bakery.“

“I always find something extra tasty at Hi-Do. Bread, croissants, many different pastries. And of course fabulous King Cake in carnival season. The way they package them shows how thoughtful they are about even the smallest detail. They put the king cake in a box, then in a bag to keep it fresh. Don't need to drag the cake in & out of if a plastic bag getting dust sugar & mess everywhere. One of many reasons they're at the top of my list!“

“The donuts from here are outstanding. I was in New Orleans for a training class, and our host brought donuts from here one morning. He told us a little about the owners/bakers and how important this shop is to the community. I only got to try a glazed donut, but it was on my short list of the best I have ever had.“

“Simple set-up and also superior customer service, especially during the super King Cake rush during Mardi Gras season. These guys also made sure my children's cake and cup cakes were up to par and exactly what I needed. Highly recommend.“

“I stopped by Mr. B's Bakery and purchased 3 dozen glazed beignets for my coworkers and I. Some of them have never had a glazed beignet before until now, and needless to say, they absolutely loved them. Hot, fresh, and a beignet. Their beignets are a 10 out of 10. Service - 8 out of a 10Ambiance - 5 out of 10. Please don't think that this is a fancy spot because it is not. I normally go in, order what I need to order, then leave. Yes, they sell breakfast plates and breakfast sandwiches as well. Grab a plate of liver and grits while you're there.“

“They have the best doughnuts in the area. The filling is enough for the size of the doughnut which is large. They were very fresh and tasty. I also got an apple fritter for a elderly neighbor and he said it was like the old fashion kind when he was young.“

“Our cake tasting was absolutely amazing! It felt very personal with the baker sitting with us giving us flavor suggestions and talking about how to make our vision come to life. Plus the tasting was all set up for us right when we walked in. The cake, fillings, and frostings were delicious!“

“If you're lucky enough to have ever visited this place then you know why I say that you are lucky. Where else can you find good Texas toast for a dollar and just about any other product in there also is for a dollar? In addition to the ridiculously cheap wholesale prices the staff is amazing and friendly. Like the Dos Equis beer man was say I don't always eat bread but when I do I get it from here.“

“visited the covington location. staff was friendly as could be food was really good restaurant was extremely clean and food was moderately priced. Job well done folks. Hats off to Gustavo , Cedricka.L and the entire staff. We will be returning to this location soon.“

“I drove out to Gretna just to go to this Joe's location. Their reviews are the best of any location, and I really wanted pancakes and hash browns (hungover). Let me tell you, it was worth the drive, because that breakfast was BOMB. You know how you do a little dance in your seat when food is really good? (I go "mm-mm-mmm" when I do it.) Anyway, it was seat-dance-good. The pancakes literally did not need syrup. They were crispy on the sides, and had just enough sweetness, omg. Then there's the hash browns. Y'all, they are home. made. Not this whole Waffle House, Sysco thing going on. No, these guys make them in house, and they're crispy and so delicious. I actually ordered another round after the first bite, because I knew the original serving wouldn't be enough (and I was hungover). After I narfed all of that up, I moved on to the donuts, and took home a half-dozen. All of them were just perfect. Like, diabetes-inducing, hangover heaven perfect. I really wish I remembered our server's name, because she was fantastic. She was working on a Saturday afternoon, around 2pm, and had recently arrived for her shift. My favorite part was that she helped me through the shame of ordering so much food--I really appreciated that. She was also great at her job, but she really went above and beyond with her patience for my extraness. The star of the show, though, was Dee (dang I hope I remembered this correctly), "the tall cook." Dee clearly took a lot of pride in his work. I came here looking for an above average diner meal, and instead got a danged feast. All of his seasoning was spot on. He used enough salt, y'all! I can't emphasize enough how tasty and well-cooked everything was. I'm making myself hungry, writing this several days later. I guess I've got a new Gretna Diner Habit. Like said before: totally worth the drive.“
