Mae’s Bakeshop

Incredible neighborhood bakery with the best biscuits I have ever had. Staff was knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. The owner was behind the counter and said he was an award winning professional pastry chef that decided to leave that part of the industry to open his own shop. Today, we tried the individual monkey bread with bananas foster sauce and the biscuit with cranberry jam. No butter was required in the biscuits, they were the perfect level of buttery and flaky. They offered coffee and bottles beverages. The other diners in the shops were raving about the cinnamon rolls, so we have something to try on our next visit! Don't miss this hidden gem!

This is the best little bakery!! They were so friendly and Jeremy did a fantastic job with the order ahead Swiftie Midnights themed birthday cake! The taste was fantastic! We also had a cinnamon roll and it was delicious!

We went to Mae’s Bakery for breakfast, and the pastries were delicious. The biscuits were so good, I have never tasted any like them. The sausage gravy was also very delicious. I highly recommend it.

I just moved to NOLA two weeks ago and immediately needed a birthday cake for my mom. This bake shop had really high ratings so I decided to give it a try. I was very happy with what I got! I didn’t want a cake that was too sweet, and a customer (or maybe a staff?) recommended olive oil cake to me. It turned out to be perfect!!! The cream was also smooth and delicious. The decoration was beautiful. I didn’t expect this 4-inch cake would be so tall though. I sweated a lot trying to bring it home in one piece as the road to my home was extremely bumpy. It waggled a lot but luckily enough I made it. Probably a paper/plastic wrap around the cake could help with the transport. In summary: highly recommended!!!!

Stopped in Sunday morning, not busy yet so we were helped very quickly. We tried both styles of the cinnamon rolls and the ham and cheese roll, I was surprised to find the Dijon mustard in the filling but it was very good! You can’t go wrong with a cinnamon roll so those were both good too.

This spot has become a must every week to see what new treats Chef Jeremy Fogg is cooking up. They really do it all: a key lime pie for Easter brunch, a biscuit sandwich for breakfast (must have), a fun sweet treat (don’t skip the brownie), seasonal fresh ingredients, or a show stopping cake for any occasion. Look no further than Mae’s. Excellent value, quality ingredients, exceptional balanced flavors in every bite, and outstanding staff/ownership.

I recently ordered a birthday cake for my husband from this cake shop — a blueberry flavor with buttercream icing and ganache. Jeff was incredibly kind and accommodating with my customizations. The cake turned out delicious and was reasonably priced, plus I loved that they offer a 4-inch size. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in NOLA!

They made two amazing birthday cakes for us. One was a chocolate cake with raspberry filling between layers with chocolate icing. It was decadent, delicious, and superb. The raspberry was not a standard option but they were able to accommodate our request. The second cake was a blueberry cake with lemon curd filling and a buttercream icing. Outstanding. The blueberry was also not a standard offering but they were so kind as to accommodate us on this as well. It was so tasty the night of our party and crazily enough, it was even better the next day! Really happy with them and we’re definitely use them again.

I have been waiting for you Chef Jeremy Fogg and your delicious buns. Ohhhh your buns, I have dreamt about them....told friends about them....my longing was real. What a delight to see your brick and mortar come to life. On the Saturday morning I drove myself from Algiers Point to your cute little bakery Uptown. I arrived early, tic toc tic toc....the count down began and then to my surprise another couple scooted in ahead of me. I was nervous as they made their choices. Please don't buy all the buns. I couldn't help myself and upsold their excellence because everyone needs to know how great they are! The most perfect cinnamon buns in all of New Orleans. If available, grab the ones with Cream Cheese frosting, they are......heavenly. This visit I also grabbed biscuits that were practically blowing their own tops off and paired them with homemade strawberry jam and pimento cheese. Ohmygoodness.... I met Chef Jeremy during a pop up on Algiers Point for our local farmers market and he had me at first bite. I've enjoyed the cinnamon buns, cookies, parker house rolls, biscuits and pie. Patiently I've been waiting for him, rumored brick and mortar, then open for King Cakes (yeah I'll be there next year with bells on) and finally his own little slice of heaven. He remembered me, I gushed over him. I'm so happy for him. This is going to be a real hot spot. Open Thursday to Sunday and until 2 or goods run out. Get there early. No matter if I go for the buns though and even if they are out, I know that ANYTHING available will be delicious. Grandma's recipes and Jeremy's loving hands are the only thing that matter.

Absolutely amazing. Had two savory pastries which were incredible and the coffee was excellent. Will absolutely come back to try more

I wandered over to Mae's last weekend and I was a little late getting there on a Sunday morning so the breakfast items were scarce. However they still had biscuits AND the biscuits came with your choice of jam or pimento cheese, both made inhouse. I chose the orange marmalade and the marmalade alone gets eleventy billion stars for deliciousness. The biscuits were also very tasty. There were quiche and breakfast rolls that both included pork so I didn't try those. I hear the cinnamon rolls are great but I will have to back earlier to score those. Otherwise the case was filled with yummy dessert options like cookies and cake which wasn't just my yen the other morning. Staff was lovely. There's limited seating both inside and out. And it's all very inviting. Parking is on the street. I'm sure I'll be back soon!

I was at the pizza shop across the street when I saw Mae's Bakeshop. So I decided to go in (this was late afternoon around 3pm). Greeted as soon as I walked in the door. On this particular day the guy let me know they didn't have much left that day, so I got a brownie. The brownie was the perfect mixture of fudge and cake like, which is how I like them. He let me know that they would have everything in the morning when they opened. So I arrived the next morning and was greeted and he remembered me from the day before. I loaded up on all the goodies! lol. Everything was amazing, but my favorites were the cinnamon roll, pound cake, and monkey bread. This is a must stop spot when you're uptown!! I know I'll be going back!

This is a wonderful neighborhood bakery. I picked up a few things and they were all great. The ham and cheese roll was awesome. The owner was friendly and welcoming. Also, it's just a cute place. You should go and support this new place!

Highly unacceptable they told me they was able to make my child birthday cake 3 weeks before the date and when I call the week off the party they told me they never even started on the cake.

I did make it to Mae's Bakeshop. I found them in a TP Advocate review and again in a Goggle Search for top 10 list for key lime pie on Yelp. Their pastry owner/chef works for or used to work for Emeril. I called and found they had key lime pie already made in the case. They are a bit pricey at $30 a pie, but spot on delicious delicious and just what I was looking for asap. They are also open to making other cake and pie recipes, so just ask. I asked for White Chocolate Cake ala the old now closed Take the Cake White Chocolate Cake, the Baker's Chocolates' fabulous dark decadent Wellesley Fudge Cake with Hungarian Fudge Frosting and Chocolate Glazed Shoulders, Southern Living's' most famous and most requested recipe for Italian Cream Cake, and my very own recipe for Glazed Limoncello Lemon Layer Cake. Chef owner Jeremy Fogg waited on me personally. He was very game to see what he could do to cooperate, taking notes, asking for recipes and offering sample tastes of frostings going on just then in the kitchen like his chocolate buttercream frosting which was delicious. The bakery seems eager to expand their menu with Uptown favorites and new classics. So do go by and ask. Tell I sent you. I look forward to our 1st cake collaboration which will prolly be for Mother's Day or my birthday as I hate to have to make my own cake. And though I own a new giant Kitchenaid Stand mixer and I am a trained cook and baker, sometimes it is nice to have other excellent options. So thank you Jeremy and I suggest that everybody give your new bakeshop a a try! They are located right where Beth Biondo Bakery used to be in the old Artie Silverman Art Studio and Gallery, now the Carlos Zervigon Art Glass Works and shared art offices building, (which I was the listing agent for that sale), right in the next block Uptown from Martin Wine Cellar, where my just retired hubby worked for 48 years. Small world Uptown ain't it! Enjoy!

Absolutely the best key lime pie ever ! Just returned from Florida where I thought I had the best key lime pie but returned home to find the pie here was even more fresh with the right amount of citrus coupled with a delicious crust. So happy to have Chef Jeremy in our neighborhood!!!
