O'Delice French Bakery

The service was horrendous. I didn’t feel welcome. The person was on the phone the whole time. I asked questions about the items but was not getting any helpful answers. The pastries in the display case looked dry cracked and old. The little store area was not very cute. Lastly, the cakes were tasteless and most of the items were just not good and not worth the money. The fruit tart was the stand out, very good. I love sweets and this place was on my list to try because of the reviews so I went on my birthday.

We stopped into O’Delice French Bakery for a snack. The atmosphere is very neat and fun, similar to a French Bakery. The nice lady behind the counter explained which pastries contained tree nuts. The lemon tart was delicious and we were very pleased with our choice.

Famous Almond Cookies. Classic with a little crisp! Thankfully they didn’t run out before we came but it would be a good idea to call ahead.

Run, do not walk, the moment you arise, and get yourself a warm almond croissant and a piping hot coffee. I would say nothing else matters, but it's all good. Her creme brulee tart is light and luxurious, her German chocolate cake rich and decadent. Everything is delicious and beautiful, but the almond croissants are downright perfection.

The price advertised behind the case was not what I was charged. When I confronted the employee, they said, “You should have asked how much it was.” I will not be going back here.

They make a great king cake. It has a traditional feel, but fresher and better than most traditional spots. The dough reminded me of a Hawaiian roll and the cream cheese was sweet. It was delicate and basic and perfect. It is more expensive than I want it to be, but I could say that about every business on Magazine street. I got the cream cheese and almost everyone at my party asked me to text them the name of the bakery.

Went here and didn’t get greeted when we walked in. We asked for a chocolate cake that was marked as $52 and ended up being $74 somehow. On top of that the lady was on her phone with headphones on the whole time and didn’t have the decency to talk to costumers that were giving her service.

Found this little gem today! OMG is all I can say. I went in for a quick coffee and now found my new favorite spot for cake and pies. Yes please!

Best croissants you will ever have in your life. I dream of traveling thousands of miles (and have twice) largely motivated by having them again. If you are in Nola, you must go!

Best almond croissants I've ever had! And the cakes are excellent - our go to for family celebrations

OMG THAT ALMOND CROISSANT! Seriously, it's probably the best thing I've eaten in years. The pastry is of course the same high quality that O'Delice is known for, but the croissant's thick almond cream (too viscous to be paste) is so rich it oozes. It's even better than Boulangerie's, which we all know is fricking stellar, but even it has to be heated to get the same creaminess. See my attached photo. With her excellent fresh brewed espresso this is a perfect breakfast... even better on a bench at nearby Audubon Park.

Let me start by saying I absolutely love the brioche and croissants from this bakery. So far, I would even say it is one of the best brioches I've had in the city. The reason I gave it 1 star has nothing to do with the food here. As with other negative reviews, it has entirely to do with the service received. For a while I was a regular at this bakery. I would always order the same thing. One day, I realized the price changed. I figured they had just increased their prices and didn't think anything of it. I mean, inflation is definitely a thing and I'm sure we're all aware of it. That was, until I sent my husband in to place the exact same order and he was charged even more than the recently increased price I had just paid. I really wasn't sure what that was about but we stopped going for a while. Fast forward a couple months and I had a friend visiting. We went in to purchase the usual and the price she was charged was LESS than the initial price I was paying. I didn't want to make this about race, but I would like to speak on the fact that the final prices given are never the same, never properly calculated and the reason given is always due to "tax", regardless of the same price being listed for the item on the wall. I started to realize that every time she gave a total, it was without use of a calculator and the "tax" in question had 0 logic or sense to it, was always more than the local tax, and vastly increased my overall total. It's as if she would place said "tax" based on the customer in question, with my caucasian male husband receiving the highest price, and my Asian female friend receiving lowest price. Fine, we'll write that off as speculation. Despite all of this I went back. I tried to pay her ridiculous price by card and her machine said the charge did not go through. I could see it was pending on my account but paid by cash instead, hoping the charge would fall off. She promised the card reader would do this sometimes but the charge would fall off. It didnt and that was the last straw. I stopped going to this bakery. This is New Orleans. There are plenty of other great options in the area. The brioche isn't worth dealing with bad service, unpredictable prices and the sour taste in your mouth you're left with feeling like you've just been robbed when she could easily just raise her prices.

Great location with much potential, but the two pastries we ordered were so-so and one of them had a hair in it. No coffee at 11:00 am? The price for our order was so high we thought the lady behind the counter made a mistake But she assured us this was the rate for the area. A shame you can get better product and service at a chain shop.

Home run, fantastic food and great service. AS someone who doesn't eat pastries this place gave my whole mouth a great time

They lady at the counter couldn't be bothered to end/pause her phone conversation to greet me or take my order. She was very abrupt and came off a bit rude. Everything looked so delicious! And there were so many options. We ordered 22 cake squares in a variety of flavors. When I made it back to the car, we proceeded to eat the cakes but noticed that there was MOLD on the bottom of the almond cakes. I went back in to return the cake and was met with opposition. She tried to explain that they all didn't have mold and I could get something else instead of a refund. After some back and forth, she gave me most of my money back in cash instead of a refund to my card bc she didn't know how to do a debit card refund. We will definitely not return.

I bought some boxes of petit fours on Christmas Eve...tasted the original ones and red velvet and they tasted like nail polish remover!! When I went back, I explained to the lady at the front the situation, she was extremely rude and would not take them back. I would not recommend this place to anyone for pastries...would give no stars if I could..

As noted in some other reviews, the person working at the counter seemed very disinterested... much more interested in their phone than helping me place an order, and when I asked a few questions (like what she'd recommend) she basically wouldn't answer and waved me away. I ordered some cake anyway -- it was good, but not better than other bakeries in Uptown, so I can't say it was worth the price and less-than-welcoming service.

I ordered this year's birthday from O'Delice. Great customer service and no hassle with ordering via phone. Everyone absolutely loved my cake! The simplistic and classic design, fresh, almond flavored cake. Very delicious, paired well with vanilla ice cream. I will definitely order from this bakery again.

I live in Slidell, but head to this bakery whenever I am uptown. It is owned by the nicest lady, Miss Nguyen. I've had her morning croissants, chicken salad, almond cake. Everything was amazing! Definitely, give this bakery a try.

I could write an ode or sonnet praising the O'Delice almond croissant. They run out quickly most days, so go early (but leave one for me). Even two days later, they emerge fragrant and flaky from a brief sojourn in a hot oven. O'Delice is a gem, a bakery like those disappearing in France where they still do everything in the time-honored way. No shortcuts here, and you taste the difference! O'Delice! Oh, delight! I praise your croissants day and night. Butter could not better be Used to make a paste-a-ree.

Nancy, you delivered again with another beautiful spread. This cake was designed for my baby shower and it was the show stopper on the dessert table. Thank you again for your hard work, dedication, and passion for your craft.

Shari V and I tried this place out for lunch. Not a huge menu but we knew they had a few sandwiches we liked so we gave it a go. We both ordered sandwiches on croissants. I had the tuna salad and Shari V had the chicken salad. Both sandwiches are really tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed mine. According to the girl behind the counter, they are both made in-house. Sometimes chicken/tuna salad can be soggy because of the large mayo volume or weak bread. Aside from the good flavor, I thought the croissants did a good job of holding the integrity of the sandwich. Before the sandwiches even came out, we ordered some red velvet and carrot cakes squares for dessert. Those of course were ready immediately. Being the hungry guy I am, I ate it immediately with no regrets. It was just ok. Way too sweet. But the carrot cake was awesome. After having a few bites of the carrot cake, I was ready to order a whole cake. In short, O'Delice was solid. Sadly, this review for the sandwiches and not the cakes. I'll update this in no time. After seeing all the cakes, it won't be long before I think of an excuse to get one.

I was looking for a good dessert to take as a gift to a dinner party and a friend recommended this bakery. I called and ordered a chocolate cream pie ( which is a popular one apparently). I ordered it on Wednesday to be collected on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon I stopped by ( there is plenty of parking in the parking lot right next door to the bakery) and collected the pie. She knew my name and was expecting me. It took literally 3 minutes to collect and pay. The pie was about $32 - which was a great price to pay for hoe good it tasted. It was a hit at the dinner party! The chocolate filling is smooth and light ( not too rich) and the cream is a good touch. While I was in the bakery I noticed so many beautiful pies, cakes and cookies in the display window. So if you are ever looking for that something special , this is the place to get it. I will definitely be trying out some more flavors.

Best coffee uptown, great pastry. The almond croissant, raspberry croissant. Man, I should have more now.

Ordering cakes here is so easy. I usually call at least a week in advance, but my most recent order was 2 days before. My brothers love her strawberry shortcake and that's what we usually order, but I recently had her red velvet at a party. And OMG! It was super duper moist. I loved it. I also tried the almond croissant and it wasn't my favorite and it was expensive!!! My bf bought one and the total was around $4! Nope, I'll stick to her cakes from now on - but those can also get pretty pricey. On a side note, they do just close randomly. She called me two days before I was supposed to pick up my cake and asked me if I could pick up the cake the next day because she was closing that Sunday. So ya know, just call ahead before you go there and find that it's closed.

We heard the King Cakes were soo soo good they were to LIVE for!! And yes!! They are! Oh My! A large delightful French pastry filled with cinnamon, topped with a very light glaze, then on top of the glaze is mounds of old school King Cake sugar!! Can't go wrong. WOW! I am definitely going back to try more items! We just ran in to grab the King Cake 10 minutes before closing because we heard some people raving about them. Now I see why!! I would venture to say one of the best in the city! So light and fluffy!! Definitely worth the drive! Unfortunately, for my hips, thighs and waistline this establishment is only about 5 minutes from my new residence. We will be back!

If you prefer traditional cakes with buttercream frosting then this bakery is right up your alley. I've tried a red velvet cake from here and on my most recent visit, an almond buttercream cake. Both were delicious and I received a lot of compliments on the almond buttercream one I picked up. It tasted just like wedding cake. I like O'Delice's cakes because they're moist, the icing is fluffy and most importantly, they're not too sweet. The texture is PERFECT. I ruined my diet this past weekend because of them but those slices were probably worth it. I know that they can make custom cakes and other small pastries but I usually just stop in if I need to pick up a birthday cake. Their standard round cakes run about $45 or so which is average and can probably serve 10-12 people.

Wow! This is absolutely a charming place. It's in a house, parking in the back or mainly foot and bike traffic that keeps this place open. If I wasn't looking for this place, I might have missed it since it kinda blends in. I walked in and was greeted by a Vietnamese lady, presumably the owner. I glance in the cakes case which they have displayed their artsy cakes with different flavors to choose from! I always default to my usually...mocha (moka) cake. Usually this cake is made with a buttercream coffee flavored frosting, which is what I love about this cake since I love coffee! Cake is defiantly creamy and moist inside! I love the candied almonds that are on the outside! This is the first one I have ever had that had candied sliced almonds as the garnish! I have eaten many french moka (mocha) cakes in my life! This is one of the top cakes I do enjoy. I am sadden that there is not enough or maybe any rum simple syrup in the cake. At least not what I can taste. Typically, the vietnamese french moka cake has a rum simple syrup gives this cake a unique flavor. But I think what I'm use to is different than what these local bakeries actually make. The cake is a bit sweeter than my usual moka cakes. I think if I request for a cake to be made adding rum to it, would not be a problem. However I like that I was able to walk in and buy a cake immediately! I didn't have to place an order in advanced! That's always a plus! Come on down and get a cake or two! There's a multitude of flavor including German chocolate and red velvet!!

This is the second year in a row that I have ordered my mother-in-law's birthday cake from this bakery. Both times my order was placed last minute but they were able to accommodate me. I typically order a chocolate- chocolate buttercream. The cake is about $40 and feeds around 10 to 12 people. I came in the day before and placed my order. I was able to pay at time of pick up. This is mostly due to the bakery not excepting American Express. *Visa/MasterCard only*. I picked the cake up the next morning and the bakery wrote a custom 'happy birthday' message for me. The cake looked amazing and I couldn't wait to bring it home. Everyone was amazed with how the cake looked and especially how the cake tasted. The cake was extremely moist, and the buttercream was very soft. I would definitely recommend ordering a cake from here. I know the bakery serves other treats and pastries, but I was unable to try them this time around. If you're in need of a cake check this place out.

The 4 chocolate eclairs were old, stale,and worst of all the pudding filling was Sour and had an awful taste. Very embarrassing as they were part of a birthday celebration. The choc filled soles/puff pastry were also dryer up, obviously days old as these items seem not to move,shameful to sell customers this Garbage..lack of Professionalism by licensed baker/pastry chef. Waste of money.would Never go there again nor Recomme ,i had to give this bakery a 1 rating ,in order to write this dissapointing experience..Could NOT submit review ,had to give 1 BUT Deserves a MINUS 2 Rating...Selling Bad, Spoiled Pudding Fillings in each of the 4 eye appealing Eclairs is very Dangerous to consumers Health, These items Sat to long before refrigeration or Sat Passed Expiration in Display Case.

Awesome bakery store! Always my best birthday cake store ever!!! Thank you for opening this store!

Delicious local bakery, such a gem for those who live in the neighborhood. Their croissants, mini pecan pies, Mexican wedding cookies, and mini-cakes are delicious. The quality is always good (everything is very fresh), so this ia great spot to pick up a thank you gift, hostess gift, or just a snack for yourself (self-care!)

Purchased a German chocolate cake for my husband's birthday. He is a huge fan of this type of cake, from childhood. This cake was super moist, very chocolatey, the icing was delicious (not a super thick layer but that's ok, the flavor was superb). I would definitely purchase another cake there! She put a couple chocolate covered strawberries on top.

The almond croissant is great and I would highly recommend! The preparation is unique, the filling is lighter and so the croissant isn't as dense as others.

My go to place for custom cakes uptown. Made with care and it always impresses everyone who eats it.

Worked close by this bakery a few years back. Former coworkers recommended the strawberry shortcake, which was the best strawberry cake I've eaten. It was so moist and not overly sweet. I've bought cakes from many Vietnamese owned French bakery and this one is the only one so far that make their cakes moist and not like a sponge. I had bought each of my coworkers one for their birthday just so I can find an excuse to get a piece. I also love their croissants (filled and unfilled) and brioches sooooo good. The coconut cakes squares are excellent too! Just talking about these are making me drool. I think regardless what dessert you try, you won't regret it. Need to find an excuse to get some soon.

The best in New Orleans. The cakes are beautifully made and are so tasty and delicious and not overly sweet. I also tried a few of the pastries and they are delicious. My favorite flavor are strawberry shortcake and red velvet!!

So... NOT open. No posted hours. Are they late this morning? Closed for vacation? Permanently closed due to the hugest, awesomest Starbucks I've ever seen a few feet up the street...?

My friend and I stopped here for dessert. The prices are amazing! I got a tasty eclair and my friend got a few chocolate-covered strawberries. The lady at the register was very nice, and the pastries were so pretty!

So I have never understood why this place has good yelp reviews. Since it is by my house, I end up going there a fair amount. The pastries and desserts are just OK. They are definitely VERY overpriced. Staff isn't friendly. I rush to get there before their scheduled closing time only to find that they have decided to close five minutes early yet again. As far as I can tell, the only pro is their location.

Love the cakes especially the German chocolate cake. It's like coconut with chocolate. If your out for a birthday party I suggest the strawberry short cake it's not too sweet and has a perfect balance definitely coming back again.

This review is solely based on a cake that my sister ordered for my husband's birthday dinner. She ordered it fairly last minute and went with the chocolate buttercream layer cake. The cake was a hit!! I love the Vietnamese French style pastries and cakes and this delivers! The icing wasn't too sweet and completely edible without going into sugar shock! I highly recommend for your party/celebration needs! I am always happy to recommend a small business and will keep this place in mind for future reference.

Nancy is a goddess. I don't mean this is the way people usually mean, like "Etta James is a goddess of the blues" or "Mafalda is a marksmanship goddess, a goddess of combat boots, etc." I really mean it - Nancy is a flippin' goddess. Imagine the following scene: you are starved, and from a day spent smoking bath salts and drinking nothing but everclear***, your internal organs are on the verge of critical shut down. Death is imminent. You wander into a spotless bakery, capable only of uttering nonsensical monosyllabic nonsense such as "Flehrt. Mobt. Urb. Xarf." It makes no difference to Nancy, she only cares about making the finest pastries and cakes and serving them to you with kindness and ruthless efficiency. You pay $5 in possum pelts for a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, and the sudden rush of caloric energy spins you into a seizure. You wake from fevered dreams on the smooth tile floor to find Nancy's angelic visage floating above you, saying "Okay baby have a nice day." You leave, forever changed. ***After much practice I have weaned myself from sleep and solid foods, this scenario, while true, should be taken only as a possibility of what it's like to bask in Nancy's presence

Substitute for the now subpar La Boulangerie. I'm all over it. The lemon tart I had this morning managed to be actually be tart which was great, and the layer of whipped cream on top was also delicious, if not a bit over the top. The crust was the perfect texture. It's a little further from my house, but this place is the real deal.

I was gifted a box of their Almond Croissants a couple of weeks ago for my birthday and I thought that they were the best that I have ever eaten. I'm a fan of almond croissants and have tried many over my 67 years. Just to be sure, I stopped by a couple of days ago and bought a few more. Yep, I was right!! : )

She never fails with her red velvet cakes. It's on the simplicity side with her design but I don't really care for the eccentric cake designs. Very sweet little lady. I've been going to her for the past 3 years and the cakes has always been great. I've called in a couple times last minute and she's always made it work.

That's great that you're on summer vacation!! It would be thoughtful if you could post that on Yelp or your website so people didn't walk over for nothing. For others - they open back up on June 16th.

The cakes look absolutely gorgeous. I want one. Or five. And my birthday is coming. But I consider myself a connoisseur of almond croissants, and this little hole in the wall on a not so busy section of Magazine has the most amazing almond croissants. The filling is spread throughout the entire croissant and it's not gluey or hard or bunched up all in the middle. The croissant itself...like Babs..like buttah. The coffee is also wonderful and the owner is a doll! Minus one star ONLY because I wish wish wish it were atmospheric. How I would love to slowly savor that croissant and coffee in a lovlier, homey setting.

What I love: -the ability to purchase small, 2-4 bite, cakes in about 6 different flavors -Chocolate ganache cake with raspberry filling -Cream Cheese King cake! - it's a little different from a Randazzo's king cake, but it's still really yummy! -French macarons - beat that, Sucre! ;) - they are pretty comparable, but only $1.25 instead of $2 a piece! -My husband likes the Pecan delight cookies. What I like: -Almond Croissant Definitely try this place out if you haven't already. It's a small place, but she has a good variety of bakeries!

After dessert laden breakfast at Court of the Two Sisters, my company and I decided to stuff ourselves with even more desserts. We ordered slices of: Red Velvet Cake, Carrot Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Key Lime Tart, a M and M cookie and a Florentine. I am a sucker for a good red velvet cake and I heard somewhere that O'Delice had the best in NOLA. The cake was really moist but not as good as the hype. My favorite was the Carrot Cake, it had a lot of flavor. The breakfast breads were sold out by the time we got there, so I'm guessing they must be good. I'm not sure if the people who were working were the owners or just staff, but they seemed to lack knowledge about the pastries and cakes. Maybe after more experience this bakery will live up to the hype.

Oh my. We live by the lakefront and this amazing bakery is on Magazine. Worth every stoplight to get their croissants, the cookies --omg the almond crunchy (I don't know what they are called) & the powdered sugar shortbread pecan cookies. We finished the croissants yesterday so I guess I'll restock next week! And they are so very nice there.

Oh my. Yesterday the secretary bought a cake to celebrate the month of March birthdays. Meaning everyone in the whole office, everyone who celebrated a birthday in the month of march got cake from the company. Usually, the secreatary goes to different bakeries in the area to pick up one...whatever suits her at the time I suppose. This time I got lucked out and came to work when she decided to buy cake from O'Delice. Every person I know in the office who had a slice of the birthday cake oohed and aahhed. "Paulette, this is the best cake everrrrrrrr." By George, I have to agree on this one. That's why I gave the bakery 5 stars. It's so light and fluffy. It was a chocolate cake but with a whipped cream layer in between each layer of the chocolate cake. It was soooooooo divine. Strawberries in between some of the layers with bits of chipped chocolate along outside the cake. I cant stop thinking about it. The owners are Vietnamese and the baker having worked many years in the pastry kitchens of WIndsor Court decided to venture on her own. Thus, the creation of O'Delice. I cannot wait to go back for more. I feel like stuff my face with cake from there. I cant tell you much about types of payment they accept or whether or not it's family friendly or kid friendly. I will let you guys know when I get over there this weekend. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! See how excited I am about sweets. ________________________________________________ UPDATE Came in for a bday cake and picked one from the shelves. Ok idea except I was not too happy. The cake that the secretary ordered was great because it was a whipped cream frosting and chocolate cake. Really wished that I could have special ordered ahead. The parking lot they share is with Radio Shack and some other small stores, but there is additional parking in the rear. The shopfront is simple enough, shelves have ready to take home goodies. Cakes ready to take home as well. There are no tables for you to sit at but sometimes in the morning, you'll see a steady flow of people come in and chit chat while the owner is ringing up the goods. They do accept credit cards.

If you somehow find yourself in need of a custom birthday cake, prepared on short notice, during a tropical storm, on a Sunday morning, the day before a holiday, look no further than O'Delice. The red velvet cake was perfectly moist. Rather than overwhelming the cake, the icing on this cake was applied judiciously, with just the right amount of cream cheese. The sides were dusted with red velvet crumbs and the edges adorned with masterly rosettes. Brava, Ms. Nguyen!

O'Delice is a small vietnamese bakery on Magazine, however, their cakes are a huge hit. I have ordered the red velvet and chocolate buttercream cakes and praline cheesecake from O'Delice and they have always been well received. Cakes are decorated simply, yet beautifully. I was reading other yelp reviews and noticed someone had mentioned they did King Cakes?? How did I not know this? I will definitely be trying one this upcoming Mardi Gras!

Not great, not awful. Got a chicken salad croissant sandwich and it was somewhat disappointing. Very generic, certainly nothing that I would go back for. In all fairness, I didn't try any pastries or cakes. So maybe they do better with cake.

This is a small French Bakery owned by a Vietnamese family. The cakes are super delish and moist. I ordered a red velvet and OMG it was a big hit with everyone. Best I ever had! Next time I'll be back to try the strawberry shortcake.
