Creole Delicacies Gourmet Shop

Great little shop that makes assorted pralines and has lots of great gifts. The shop itself is well lit, well taken care of and has a little something for everybody – personally, I bought a candle for myself that they make themselves (Magnolia blossom), a shirt for my daughter (cute kids tops!) but everything in there looked adorable.
This place has just the right amount of old timey flair and Southern comfort to make you want to reach into your wallet and set yourself back a pretty penny.
All sorts of books on Creole cooking, shirts and clothes for all ages, candles, kids toys and clothes, candy, kitchenware, and lots of other neat stuff that is all classic New Orleans.
A great stop for a present for your friends back home.

Tee Saundra is great! Ask her how to make her praline mini-​muffins and she might give you the recipe.

My Opinion/​Story:
Stopped by to purchase some spices, cajun food, hurricane mix and souvenirs. Staffs were pretty friendly and helpful. It was nice to discover this store before I left New Orleans and be able to take back some mixes to try cooking them at home. The best thing I took back was the hurricane mixes.

It seems like every time I go home, I find myself visiting the Riverwalk. And once inside the riverwalk, do not pass this place up, other wise you will miss out on lots of yummy stuff. I always get a box of pralines to take home, best in town. Also, they have a great souvenier shop, postcards, creole seasonings, cookbooks, magnets, hot sauce, lots of it to, also in the back of the store is a small restaraunt, which I have never eaten at, always closed when I go in. THey even offer cooking demos at an additonal charge and lunch is included. Not bad. Stop on in next time you are at the Riverwalk. This truely is a neat little store.

4.5 stars. A fantastic and very friendly place to find cool creole foods, spices, gifts and even get a delicious homecooked creole meal in the hidden restaurant in the back of the store overlooking the Mississippi River.
Happened to be walking around Riverwalk, a somewhat quiet mall connected to the cruise ship terminal. Was looking for a place to eat and didn’t want to settle for the food court. Happened to come by this store and found some very cool creole foods, mixes, and gifts — anything from jambalaya mixes to hot sauces to new orleans pralines to mardi gras mix (their best-​selling item — a cool chip/​cracker dip with a nice creole kick). And the ppl were super friendly in helping us.
Turns out that there is also a cooking school in the back with a hidden small restaurant where the cook makes homecooked creole food.
Got the $ 7.95 sampler which was surprisingly delicious — tasty gumbo with pretty good jambalaya and great red beans and rice. The creamy crawfish pasta dish was also excellent. The mini pecan muffins that they happened to have extra after the cooking class were awesome. The restaurant is very informal with basic tables and chairs and food is served on plastic plates and utensils. So don’t expect the Four Seasons. And again, they were super friendly and gave us some extras.
Bottom line: Cool creole foods and gift store with a hidden gem of a small backroom restaurant offering tasty homestyle creole cooking with super friendly hospitality — all inside the huge Riverwalk mall. (With cooking lessons too if you want.) If you happen to be around Riverwalk, definitely give this place a look and try. (And try their Mardi Gras mix dip!)
