O’Delice French Bakery

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

On a whim, I ordered a cake from here for a baby shower only because I was worried I wouldn’t have enough cupcakes for my guests. The owner was nice enough to make it for me fairly last-​minute. People at the shower were raving about the cake, and everyone asked me where I got it. The cake really was incredible – I had tons of leftover cupcakes, everyone ate the cake. I will most definitely be ordering from here again!

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

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.

I see that Alma D wrote «Amazing, amazing, amazing! the best almond croissant ever!!! crack almond croissant!
Well Alma you have hit the nail on the head. When I travel I go where they have outstanding food; places such as St. Barts and Paris. I am obsessed with great food.
O’Delice’s almond croissants are quite simply the BEST IN THE WORLD!!! I moved here from Boston a couple of years ago and was referred to O’Delice by a business executive that I knew. He had one customer who was almost impossible to get in to see on a timely basis. So the next time he went he took 146 almond croissants into the work place and gave them to all of the employees. Since that time he gets in immediately.
How is it possible to have world class croissants here? What is the secret? I believe that Nancy who owns O’Delice makes her own almond paste. Second she uses a special type of butter to make the croissants. I have had guests from Westport, CT, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and San Francisco who have all agreed that it is the best that they ever
had. Nancy is Vietnamese and those foodies out there know that the Vietnamese are among the best bakers in the world. They were taught by the French. She is delightful.
Go early because the croissants sell out quickly.

This is absolutely one of the best bakery’s in New Orleans. The cakes are good and the strawberry short cake is one of my favorites. i recommend this bakery especially for its King Cakes. the almond croissant and chocolate croissants are exceptional in the mornings. if you need to order a cake or get something to eat for a dessert, then this place is for you.

Owner is very sweet. Bought a strawberry shortcake for my boss on her birthday. Everybody loved it! It was delicious. Great job O’Delice!

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.

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!

Amazing amazing amazing!!! The BEST almond croissant EVER!!!- crack almond croissant!!!

I used to live across the street from this place, and it was dangerous. I ate so many pies and cookies when I was bored. They were all delicious. #noregrets

Someone recommended this bakery to me on a Saturday night. I needed a cake by Sunday afternoon for a baby shower and after I read the reviews I stopped by for the strawberry shortcake. I saw one behind the glass but the lady who runs the place told me she would make me one right then. It didn’t take long but I’m so glad I waited because this cake was delicious and everyone loved it. I will go back.

This place is amazing. They have the best almond croissants I’ve tasted (with the yummy filling in the middle!!) and our family regularly orders birthday cakes from them. Moreover, the people who work there are friendly and sweet. Every time I come home I make sure to get a croissant before I leave again!

I ordered a chocolate cake on July 19, 2014 for my mothers birthday. I was one of the best chocolate cakes that I’ve had. it was well balance and moist. the shop is opened past bakers hours which is fantastic. the croissants are also divine.

Went yesterday to get coffee and a crescent. The coffee was ordinary cheap tasting coffee but the crescent was good however the lady helping us was rude and we felt rushed.

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 Unilocal 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!

Stopped in on a Sunday morning. No line… is this a tucked away treasure? I had heard O’Delice did cinnamon rolls well, so I had to see for myself. It’s true, ordered two cinnamon rolls (one w/​raisins, one w/​o), delicious! Perfect with a cup of coffee. Got a scone as well, a little lagniappe. That scone was buttery perfection. If the other French bakery down the road is overrun with a Sunday morning line… go the extra blocks down Magazine to O’Delice. Smaller selection, but just as yummy!

This review is solely based on the king cake we ordered for Mardis Gras. I tried a number, but this was the best. Perfect! The family I know in New Orleans swears by this place and it is easy to see why

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.

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!
