Maple Street Patisserie

We live a few blocks from this place and finally decided to give it a try. Great location and great looking pastries. Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed... We ordered the lemon coconut cake and some sort of chocolate cake. They were a few days old as we could taste the refrigeration on them. The cake was hard and the filling was not the mouse we expected as most European cakes. It was more like a butter cream filling. We definitely plan to go back and try again. We like to support local businesses and everybody deserves a second chance. :)

I cannot say enough about Ziggy and a beautiful and delicious cake that he created for my daughter's bridal shower!!!! Please do look closely at the delicate and intricate detail! Its truly a total work of art as you can see! Take a look too at the beautiful petit fours and pastries!!!! What a treat! He personally delivered this and I was blown away!! My sincere thanks to my neice Ashley for ordering this for my daughter ! What a SWEET gift!!! Thanks too, to Ziggy!!!!

I had a good experience at the Maple Street Patisserie. Maybe because I wandered in at the same time as a local who recommended the carrot muffin to me. It was moist and sweet.

Great pastries and cakes. Smells delicious and everything tastes great. I fell in love with their cheesecake, but lately had some bad experiences with it. Hope I just caught them on a bad day

Small and cute little bakery. They also serve sandwiches. Lots of cute pastries. We were all given samples by the owner I believe. Its was a small petit fluer with rainbow colors on the inside, very yummy. Yummy tarts there also. I got several small pastries.

New Orleans knows it sweets. So out of towners make this your destination. You will not be disappointed. Guilty pleasures abound. You can always get to the gym to pay penance! We will be back.

I have never written a review, but I absolutely love this place! I discovered it about two weeks ago, and I have returned regularly since then. I am extremely picky about pastries, but I don't have a single complaint about this place. The quality of Maple Street Patisserie's food is evident with every bite. Their biscuits are perfectly cloud-like and fluffy. Their donuts are scrumptious without being overly sweet. I could go on and on about this place. Today, I accidentally stumbled in thirty minutes after closing, craving a jalapeño sausage croissant (absolutely delectable by the way--100/10 recommend). The lovely person that usually works the front counter went back reopened the store and heated me up the croissant I wanted. This is just one example of how Maple Street Patisserie goes above and beyond for their customers. You won't find better pastries or service in New Orleans. If you find yourself in the area, you must stop by! You won't regret it.

Absolutely Fabulous!! Jack was/is a joy. So very good at what he does. The carrot cake is wonderful

I stopped by there today. They seemed to have a good selection of pastries, we tried the glaze donut and the apple fritters. The donuts were very good and the fritters were excellent. The guy at the register was pretty awesome compared to some of the reviews complaining about a guy being rude. Obviously this was not the same guy, he was super helpful. The place is in a very nice neighborhood in Uptown New Orleans, not too far from Tulane. Will definitely go again.

This place is always great. My fav place in nola. Really good creole cajun. I will be back

I asked if they had any black berry scones and the old man behind the counter said "why would you think I have black berry scones" I don't understand his problem but I'm never coming back to this place. That guy sucks 0/5 stars for that guy.

I stopped in this week and Maple Street Patisserie is still as amazing as ever! Ditto to everything from my original review, and I need to add that on my most recent visit they had a new creation. Treats for my sweet fur child! They come beautifully packaged and my sweet girl loves them! Thank you MSP for thinking of our furry family members!

Cute little bakery! The assortment was quite amazing and looked very pretty. The employee behind the counter was very helpful. I tried the little square pastries (I forget the name...). But one has pistachio inside and the other had fudge. It was soooo good. The cannolis were also very good! I tried the chocolate cake and it was alright. I'd definitely recommend those square pastries in the top middle of the picture! I do wish they served coffee or tea. Maybe I missed it.

Ouch, great pastries but only one really rude man serving. Not sure why he's so upset or rude to customers but if he's there next visit, I'll leave. Such a shame for the owner. Dude, you just can't be curt to customers no matter how bad your morning is. Lock up and leave if you don't wanna be there. I'm not even going to go into the stuff I tried and liked. Good pastries, terrible service.

This spot has a wonderful assortment of classic breads, pastries, donuts and croissants. For those with a sweet tooth there's tons to choose from. The croissants are my favorite-buttery, flaky and generous in size. There are also lunch and savory options available. Pick up something here and grab a coffee nearby at Starbucks or PJ's.

The man working was unnecessarily rude, I was quickly reminded why I haven't been here in over 5 years.

Amazing discovery! A friend gave me a gift card for this place and I discovered gold! Delicious pasteries and breads I've seen nowhere else. The master baker is Polish and studied all over Europe. You can tell! The blueberry scone was the absolute best I've ever eaten. Light, flavorful, fresh. Just perked up my tastebuds . Jack, the manager, is friendly and helpful. Stop by!

They were sold out of the French King Cake. The King cake that I got was just OK.

The hours are notable: open at 6 AM, 6 days a week. There are a lot of nice local bakeries that are not open at that time, and for those of us that have to go in to something early and would like fresh baked goods in the morning, 7 does not cut it. I imagine it's tough being a baker, but I appreciated this place when I wanted an early breakfast spread. Their variety was also rather impressive. I struggled to pick what to order, and ended up with a range of fruity and chocolatey pastries, which were pretty well received. Their selection is pretty conventional-if you want the specialty health food stuff you'll have to head over to Oak street-but their muffins and various sweet pastries satisfied my needs.

I have stopped by this place 3 times. The 1st time, I ordered a cream puff. Literally no cream, there were actually little balls of sour stuff. Must have been old. I told the guy and he did not respond. I did ask for coffee and he recommended I go next door to PJ's. The key lime pie minis are very good. The twisted do nuts are not worth it. If you want a cream puff, go to Haydels. Won't go again.

We've been going here for years and years. The staff changes constantly so service has always been so so (although if you are lucky enough to catch Ziggy, an owner, he's amazing). I come from a restaurant family, and I'm well aware of how difficult it is to deal with the public and so I don't usually get offended by a salty attitude. This morning I was bringing my girls to school and we stopped in- they got their usual, a cinnamon roll for one and a jalapeño sausage croissant for the other. We stepped outside to eat: they usually warm the croissant, but this morning it wasn't warmed. I told my daughter to go back inside and ask them to warm it (I believe that it's Ziggy's bro-in-law working the counter)- she was nervous and I told her it would be fine, to go ahead. Well no- she got a lecture about how she was supposed to ask when it was ordered, that he usually won't heat the food if you ask after it's ordered. After the lecture he did warm it, but she was mortified. I don't understand this- but I don't need to. There are plenty of other bakeries we can give our money to.

Parking Nazi's! This business put up an illegal sign that claims public street parking for their business only. I parked there (legally) while visiting a neighboring business and was threatened by an employee that they would have me towed. The neighboring business told me that vehicles that repeatedly park there have been vandalized. It is illegal to claim public street parking for your own. Yelling at citizens who legally park is no way to engage in business. I have made a complaint to DPW but want everyone to be aware that you can legally park here.

Delicious pastries! Pricy, but worth it for a rare treat. Luckily I do not live close by otherwise I would stop in way too often. We did not know what we wanted to try so we all purchased a variety of items to share. Several of the treats were delectable and satisfying, a few I did not particularly like. My favorite was the fruit tart. Definitely worth a trip and I would return to taste some of their other creations!

Maple St Patisserie is a hidden shop on the corner. Pastries are cute but nothing special. Paid over $3 for each miniature dessert, prices are not listed. Service feels rushed anytime we go. They also sell out of bread and bagels early on in the day.

Adorable pastry shop! Stopped in to grab something quick for breakfast. Donuts are very reasonably priced. I decided to get the donut twist and also an everything bagel with a cup of coffee. The twist was pretty good,nothing special, but the bagel was HUGE, and toasted perfectly. Honestly what shocked me the most was how delicious the coffee was. It was smooth and a medium blend. Great cup of coffee. Nice place to have a breakfast,brunch meeting.

No matter how good their product is, a terse, unfriendly customer service attitude does not deserve to be rewarded with business.

The owner is so nice and brightens your day in the morning! I got a spinach tomato cheese pastry and a bag of dog treats! The pastry was yummy; I wish they had offered to warm it though, especially on a rainy day like today. But the cream cheese spread in it is no joke!! My dog loves the dog treats, although I do wish they were a bit bigger for my pitbull :) I also wish they offered warm drinks like hot chocolate. Overall though, impeccable quality and amazing service. Definitely will back and would recommend!!

I just left Maple Street Patisserie . I have gone to this business many many times over the years. I cannot understand why the man behind the counter is almost always (90%) of the time just simply rude and makes customers feel uncomfortable because it appears he is not interested in serving you. He always rushes people along , if you don't know exactly how many items you want and he has to use a larger box he stares you down and sarcastically let's you know you exceeded the smaller box limit! If you ask any questions at all his responses are flippant . Examples: " If you don't see them in the case we don't have anymore "! I love the pastries but their not good enough to tolerate his mistreatment. Ive had enough of his behavior. There are plenty of other businesses to support . I've also witnessed and listened to his rude behavior towards other customers as I've stood and waited dreading my turn! I always go friendly and hope I get a different attitude but sadly the 10% is not worth the anticipation of his mood.

They have the sweetest and most helpful staff! Pastry is very and really good! Store is super neat and clean! Very organized. I do wish they more labels to indicate each food item. Either than that I will most likely be back!

I said that I wanted to eat in and then I was asked again when my soon to be warmed up sausage croissant was nearly ready. I must have given a confused look because the server said that she didn't hear me say that I wanted to eat at a table. There was only one other guest who ate in and left. It must have been around 1ishpm. My chocolate doberge triangle was stale. I took that home and tried it not even 24hrs later. Also could have been sweeter on the chocolate icing side in my opinion. The stake cake was not nice. I also got a ham quiche to go which I thoroughly enjoyed. I almost bought a blueberry streusel looking loaf, but at $16 I decided to decline.

I used to come here a lot and quite liked it, but my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. On a really hot day (i.e. a regular day during the summer in NOLA), they had no air conditioning inside and the pastries/cakes were in a flimsy display case with no cooling system. This could potentially lead to food poisoning so I felt really uncomfortable. Additionally, I saw a maggot next to one of the cheesecakes in the display case. The service is also not the best.

So, they are pricey compared to other bakeries but good and very consistent across many genres. This morning I picked up a start of school feast for my boys of baby favorites: croissants, blueberry muffins, challah, French bread and donuts. All are good and that's not something you can say of many bakeries. Their muffins are great, a bit on the sweet side but the best in the city. Croissants were just out of the oven

The savory and sweet pastries are consistently delicious. However, I frequent this place quite a bit and the service can be a hit or miss. Sometimes the people working there are extremely rude and condescending and it's very off putting. The new food options, pastas and other options are also delicious. I love this bakery but they need to rethink their counter workers a lot.

Stayed in a bed and breakfast in the area, and just wandered in. What a find this was! Got a variety of goodies to bring home with me but very got to make trip home. The gentleman that waited on me was patient and explained what was in the pastries I found . I will highly recommend the king cake-- it is not your typical king cake-- much more tasty ! The cookies are big enough to make a meal off one. I came back to them the next morning to get sausage and biscuit. The biscuit was like my Big Mama used to make. So glad I don't live close-- I would have a tremendous weight gain.

Great & authentic. We preordered a buche de Noel (Yule log cake) for my family's French Christmas celebration, and loved it. It was GORGEOUS and clearly made with love and tons of attention to detail. Can't wait to order again!

The challah bread that I bought there yesterday (March 19th, 2021) was absolutely divine.

Having ethnic roots in Poland, I was delighted to hear this bakery made Easter lamb cakes. I called them and was told I had to prepay ($35+tax). When I picked the cake up, not only was I shocked at the tiny size of the cake, but I was appalled over the "plastic" lamb face and skimpy frosting job. You can see through the frosting and some other glaze is on the face. See photo! This is coming from a Master Baker & Master Pastry Chef!! Then the lamb was not secured in the box and toppled over after getting it home. Box is huge compared to lamb. I have not tasted it yet but 2 stars for outrageous cost and VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP! The cheap frosting job and skimpy glaze (?) on lamb face is unacceptable!! I have a cast iron lamb mold and should have tried to find it in my moving boxes and made my own!!

This place is so amazing. I love coming in to get a yummy treat and seeing Jack. He always has a smile on his face and asks me how my day is going. Their pastries are delicious and their lunch sandwiches are even better. It's such a gem in the Maple Street neighborhood.

This is a phenomenal little bakery right on Maple St. The display is gorgeous, and you'll never be short on options for whatever you might be craving. I have ordered an assortment of different goodies from this place and have never been disappointed. Jack is very friendly, and the prices are very fair. I will be a regular to this place as long as I am in the area.

Great pastries, and exceptional sandwiches here. When I lived in Paris (and 20 years later, I still cannot believe my good fortune in being able to say that phrase), I noticed that the locals passed on all the fancy, glossy confections, and also passed on even basic fruit filled croissants. The choice for almost every Parisian was almost always the same: an espresso, usually with a cube of sugar, and a plain croissant. Maybe--no, definitely--that's one reason I was and remain identifiable as American, with my too big belt and multiple Xs on my clothing labels. So it is with Maple Street Patisserie. In my very unscientific mid morning survey, most of the patrons seemed to be buying sandwiches or croissants for takeout. I probably should have taken their cue, but hey, I'm a Yelp! reviewer and I really should sample more than just a plain croissant. Right? Right. The Key Lime Tart is small, but delicious. If you have a hankering for Key Lime Pie but don't want to wreck your diet with a ten-thousand calorie nine-inch round slab in your fridge, give that a try. The fruit tart was as it should be: fresh fruit, light clear glaze, a firm and sweet custard, and a flaky crust. A white and brown chocolate-accented tart was beautiful and bought on impulse. What it contained was a large dollop of chocolate mousse with a layer of a apple jam at the bottom, covered in think crisp coat of white chocolate. Very rich, and probably best shared with two or more others. The blueberry turnover with its flaky crust and dark blue filling peeking out at the seams was irresistible visually. The blueberry flavor was strong, not overly sweet, and the crust was a light and flaky as it promised to be from under the glass. My dining partner favors savory food for breakfast. She went with a turkey sandwich. Not one normally given over to hyperbole, she remarked that "this is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had" I took a bite, and she might be right. That explained all the sandwiches at other tables (though by this point, it was getting close to 11:00 and moving into prime lunch time). Enough about who's eating what; if you like a good sandwich, and that includes fantastic bread, try one here.

I am disappointed in the pumpkin pie that I ordered The pie was decorated with a white ?? Something that tasted Very much not Recognizable --- the pie tasted to my guests and myself as more Sweet potato -- Again a disappointment !

Almond tart ($5) - 3 stars By the time we got back to our hotel it seemed too soft like the butter in the tart base had melted. Taste was still pretty good.

What happened to the service at Maple Street Patisserie? There's now one gruff man working the place now who refuses to warm up any of the food. A cold sausage biscuit is not very good. We kept thinking it was just a temporary thing there but it's been going on for months. He needs more staff and needs to actually warm things up. Cold pastries are really not good. #lookingforanewbreakfastspot

So, I'm early into my second pregnancy but I'm already starting to have food aversions and morning sickness. This is one of the very few places I can eat happily without any food aversions at all - it's that fresh and good. One of my favorite places to eat for lunch in New Orleans and during study days.

The savory breakfast sandwiches are YUMM!!! Their cream cheese king cake is amazing...right up their with Dong Phuong bakery in the east. Unfortunately I haven't been too impressed with the almond croissant (a bit dry) or the Napoleón (not very crunchy). The ambiance is a balanced French New Orleans blend - Metal chairs wood tables; a large wooden coffee bar with sugar etc; featured paintings by New Orleans Artists; and wooden crates filled with baguettes.

I want to write a review for the location right off Magazine St but maybe this will suffice? This is one of my fav breakfast spots. The price is right, the place is clean, and the food is consistently great! I loooove the ham and cheese croissant. Also enjoy the breakfast bagel, French toast, and other items I've tried. The lunch isn't too shabby either. One thing that annoys me a tad is eating something like pancakes or French toast out of the little plastic serving basket bc the paper it's served on tears but hey for the price- whatever!

Ridiculously overpriced. I paid over $5 for an apple fritter and a glazed twist. I was shocked when she told me the price; I almost wanted to say nevermind and leave. There aren't any prices posted, which makes sense now. The donuts are fine, but they aren't good enough to justify the cost. The service was a little slow, not as quick or well organized as similar counter set ups (Creole Creamery and La Boulangerie come to mind). I would have given 4 stars if the donuts had been half the price, but as it is I just don't think the value is there.

Underwhelming and overpriced, with poor drink choices. I rarely go here anymore, but when I do, I'm always surprised by how much the total comes to be. Prices are comparable to La Boulangerie, but the pastries are donut shop quality (e.g. scant, uneven filling in croissants). That being said, their mini lime tarts are very good.

Disappointing experience. Pastries (had the croissant, eclair, cannoli) are okay but nothing amazing. Dining area is small. Very limited drink options. I agree with previous reviews that it is very reminiscent of break-room coffee with 2 pump pots full of coffee and buy-in-bulk tea bags. Really what soured the experience was the counter staff. After my SO and I purchased several pastries, coffee, tea and went to sit down, the staff informed us that we couldn't stay because they were closing. The sign says 5pm, this was at 4pm. She assured us that it was just that day they were closing early. No apology. Just informed us and walked away. After all this, I had to remind her that I was still waiting for a cup of hot water to steep my warehouse earl grey tea in. We came to the cafe to sit and enjoy tea and pastries so it was obviously a disappointment to get kicked out before the advertised closing time. I would have greatly appreciated being informed of the earlier hours prior to making a purchase or at least in the form of a sign. Would much rather enjoy a pre-made croissant and better drink options at the adjacent Starbucks or PJs. Lesson learned.

In the last week I've been here three times, and I'm so happy to have found a good bakery near me. The first time I came I ordered an almond croissant and a jalapeño sausage croissant that I reordered as soon as I finished. Today I got a little cheesecake tart, and a ham and cheese croissant (which I bought another of to bring my boyfriend since it was so delicious). Overall, this is my new favorite place to stop for a small snack (if I can ever limit myself to ONE croissant) and I can't wait to go get one of their sandwiches which look absolutely awesome. Be back soon!

I live in the neighbourhood and I really wanted to like this place but pastries taste old and seem to be stale. They're closed one day of the week and I have actually walked by during those off days and saw pastries still sitting in the shelf. They're not fresh and some have that cheap/donut taste. Not sure how he claims it's the best pastry shop in New Orleans.

So let's get right to it. Twist donut was ok. Very fresh but, not very flavorful. The tea was disappointing. It was Bigelow and they don't have splenda. I don't use it much but, 2 packs in my hot tea is a must. There's no price list or prices on items so just be mindful. That can be a little aggravating if you're on a personal budget. I spent $7 which isn't terrible but, would've been better with everything up to par. With all the baker's in town, some dives, that have been more satisfying I doubt I'll be back.

I was lured in by the scent from walking on the street. Upon walking in, I was super impressed with the vast selection that they had. I even loved that they had mini versions of their desserts, tarts and pastries. You better believe that I ordered a plethora of sweets that quickly caught my eye. Since I was in a hurry, I took everything to-go and I could not wait to sink my teeth into each an every one of them. Once I did (in the car as I sat in traffic), I was not impressed with the pieces I took a bite of. 75% of the desserts tasted old! I have had many desserts in my day from many bakeries around the world and these were by far some of the most memorable because they did not taste good. I was so sad because the potential was there. What in the world were those flavors that I tasted. Honestly, I had to throw out most of if and even my daughter was not happy with what she tasted. It was great to see that their bakery was filled with so many baked goods, but I was disappointed that they did not deliver in the taste category. I've been to many bakeries that offer a lot and have never had an experience quite this terrible, especially because the lady that helped me behind the counter was so nice. Given that there are many other bakeries to try in NOLA, I will not be going out of my way to come here in the future + I don't live in NOLA and rarely visit the area.

We went two days in a row. The blueberry tea cake was very light and flavorful. We enjoyed the bread made on Fridays along with a few other treats. We came back the next day to try the scones and donuts. Jack was very helpful.

Wonderful selection of French pastries and desserts mixed in with yummy donuts and unexpected items like a jalapeño sausage croissant. Friendly service and a great neighborhood feel.

I was curious about what was across the street when I was getting coffee and I decided to pop in. I love bakery shops and this was awesome. I ordered a chocolate croissant, a choclate glazed donut and an apple fritter (it was BOGO FREE donut after 11am ). The croissant is really good! The lady behind the counter was really nice and answered my question about the pastries I was curious about. I will definitely come back .

It seems unfair to write a review after having been here only once, so I'll have to go back for round two sometime soon, but my initial impression is that this place is okay. It certainly wasn't bad, but it didn't blow me away. Perhaps I need to try something other than a plain croissant, but at the time what I really wanted was something lunch-like, and everything they had (as far as I could tell) had meat in it. Something vegetarian along the lines of their turkey sandwich and/or ham and cheese croissant (perhaps a spinach and feta croissant) would've been awesome. Maybe I needed to ask. In any event, it's a bustling little place and people obviously love it. But it seemed that you kind of needed to know what to order, since there wasn't a ton on display and there wasn't a list or anything. Next time I'll have to read the Yelp reviews and figure out what to ask for. :)

Most overpriced bakery I've ever been to. I eat out for probably 10 meals a week Attempted to buy one pastry and one load of bread Girl said $16.78 I laughed and left NO PRICES ON ANYTHING How do I know it wasn't $6.78 and the girl was adding $10. Laughable at best. Will never return.
