Royal Praline Company

Typical overpriced gift shops catering to tourists. It’s a cute, quaint shop with friendly staff. Definitely had a sweet smell of praline in the air. Thank goodness for the 15% discount coupon offered by Unilocal check in. Tried to find pralines at the nearby Walgreen but they did not sell any, go figure. Hence the reason for our little excursion into the store.

People behind the counter were polite, nice, helpful, and answered my questions. Good customer service even though the place had a casual vibe.
The pralines were reasonably priced when compared to other praline/​candy shops. In my opinion, I’ve had better pralines from other places, like retailers in the outlets that sell pralines. So, overall, the taste was a yawn for me.

Apparently you gotta pronounce it «praw-​leens» over here instead of «pray-​leens» :)
Anyway…GET THE FRESH WRAPPED PRALINES. CHEWY GOOEY GOODNESSSSSSSSSS. And yes. it is literally just sugar, butter and pecans. No complaining about that!
I went to a few candy/​praline stores and could only find the freshly made ones here. I like them better then the hard candy/​pre-​packaged ones! I normally find these kinds of treats way too heavy but I loved it so much I ate one every day I was in Nola!!!
S described it as eating condensed milk. Yum… :P

I was in town for a conference and this was one of the first things that came up on Google for places to stop by. It was definitely worth it. The pralines here taste like no other. Very good place to get souvenirs to bring back home.

I liked the samples which was definitely a plus as this was my first time trying pralines. They literally have just about every kind here. It’s a great place to pick up souvenirs and the Café du Monde coffee cans are only $ 6.70 here compared to $ 7.15+ elsewhere. They also have a selection of pretty creative cards. I loved the Scrabble birthday card that I got!

I had to stop by for praline gifts. This store is really clean and really large. They’ve got every gift you can imagine, including clean gifts not the adult gifts.

Variety of samples, stopped right after New years, plenty of items to check out. They had a sale for Christmas items. The samples were sweeter than the ones we had at cooking school nearby. Parking is somewhat difficult. We parked about 15 minutes away walking distance.

Lots of samples of various pralines! Check in here and get 15% off, making it one of the better deals in town if you want to get a variety of things.

This place is cute and pretty big!
Besides the fact that the cashiers looked half asleep and hungover, there was a lot of cute things to browse through here.
I’m sure there are many other places like this around NOLA, but this was close to our hotel and we needed to get souvenirs and gifts.
The chocolates were wrapped nicely, and there seemed to be a good variety of options.

L.O.V.E. the New Orleans praline by the Royal Praline Company. The only downside was we didn’t buy enough and was craving pralines soon again. I won’t make that mistanke again next time I’m in NOLA.

Must try the samples of pralines and chips it’s on fire and out of this world and insert generic term but what’s not generic is hey delicious. Once you’re done with the samples in the back is some nice artwork. I like how Nola paints their food instead of taking instagrams of it. Price is in the middle range but a must see for tourists.

I wasn’t too impressed with this place. I mean, I love pralines (who doesn’t?) but I just didn’t find anything I really wanted to buy and take home with me. I’m sure it’s a great spot for those who checked a bag (I did not) and want to stock up on pralines, hot sauces, etc. but for the rest of us it’s just okay. I definitely would have shipped some hot sauce back home but alas, it did not happen. Maybe next time.

God I love pralines. Royal Praline Co. has freshly made pralines which is the only way to buy them. I do NOT recommend buying prepackaged pralines at the other places around town. Fresh is the only way to go.
The Royal Praline Co. has a lot more than pralines. You can get fudge and other items here.

In search of more pralines and found this terrific shop on Royal street (of course). The pralines are delicious. I couldn’t stop sampling them. Walked away with lots of the creamy variety and some of the chewy too. Still delicious a week later. Lots of great gifts here as well. I got a cute NOLA matchbox type truck for my 3-​year-​old son, and picked up some Tabasco knick-​knacks for the hubby (including the Tabasco lollipop). They had some pretty jewelry as well and I found a cute pair of fleur-​de-​lis for my 5 year-​old daughter. Good souvenir shopping to be done here. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

I want a fresh one! One that was still warm! But the pre-​package one was good!

The good thing about Royal Praline Co is that it has so much more than Praline…
As an out of towner like myself, this is the best one stop shop and get everything that is New Orleans.
As an out of towner that loves to eat like myself, this is the best one stop shop and get everything that give you a taste of New Orleans.
And of course you can find pralines here!

This store sold some Praline among other items. I thought the prices were reasonable and a lot of the items here were food but there were also books. The people who worked here were nice. I didn’t buy anything because I knew I didn’t have room in my luggage. However, my friends did buy some Praline for their friends/​family. Good place for some Praline and other items like hot sauces. Check it out!

A cute little store on Royal Street that has an assortment of mostly food items. They specialize in pralines, hence the name, although there are other things such as hot sauces, various dry mixes, and books about New Orleans. We inevitably end up buying something here every time we go to New Orleans. The praline selection is good, prices are average, but sometimes the cashiers can be abrupt to the point of rudeness, which is not a trait you normally find in New Orleans.

Cute items although there was only one box of sugar free pralines and it was wrapped in a huge gift box already

I am so happy that this was my first experience with a New Orleans classic: the praline! While they don’t make any of the pralines right in the shop, you walk in and it just smells of sugar. I feel like after this smell hits my nose, it directly signals my stomach to prepare itself for something sweet and highly caloric. I ran around frantically picking up every praline flavor because I can’t decide which I want to try. Out of the several flavors they had, I ended up picking a chocolate one that was just wrapped in saran wrap. I felt that might be better than the pre-​packaged ones, and boy was I right! I hadn’t even finished paying for it before I already had it unwrapped. It was fudgy, nutty, buttery and everything that an authentic praline should be. It also seemed to be a lot thicker than the paper thin ones everyone else seemed to be selling. Throughout my stay I probably tried 4 other places, but nothing was as good as this. Skip the busier Southern Candy Makers and come here instead for the ones wrapped in saran wrap. You won’t be disappointed.
