Randazzo’s Camellia City Bakery

I did a rapid u-​turn to fly into Randazzao’s the Thursday before Mardi Gras and it was worth it! We got one of the last few king cakes and ate off it for snacks and breakfast all day. This Randazzo’s location has a great recipe and did not dissapoint!

This review is not just for the king cake; although great in its own right. It is because of the customer care I received after the service.
I contacted the store via email with a couple of concerns I had after my visit one morning, trying to discover reasons for discrepancies in the price I paid and a limit on the number of cakes I was allowed to purchase. In less than one hour I received a call back and was given some of the best customer service I received in a long time. My questions were met with deep heartfelt apologies and a concern for making things right.
I will continue to patronage this store — yes, because the king cakes are so good; but mainly because the employee who called truly cared about me and the service I received.

I could not ask for a better experience and it seems Camelia City consistently hits a home run.
I ordered personal size king cakes as a part of my gift for my parade krewe’s party. Luckily for me, I was able to order sprinkle colors of my choice and pay all over the phone. And the receipt was sent via email.
There was a little snafu on pick up day. I asked for a later time but was «encouraged» by the person who took the order to pick it up earlier— as early as 6am. I arrived at 9a and it was not ready and I was told to come back in a few hours., After explaining what I was told and provided the name of the person I spoke with, I was pleased to learn the order would be ready in 20 mins… There was a sitting area and free coffee offered so it made waiting a piece of cake.
Loved the finished product. It was the perfect size and absolutely delicious.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this bakery… The worst I mean absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. I ordered a King cake to be shipped to California with the arrival date of January 22. I called the bakery right after placing the order online, and asked that they leave a note on the shipping to please leave the King cake at the front leasing office of the apartment, as no one would be home to accept the package. They told me it would be $ 12 to simply add a note. You’re kidding right?! They said it was already processed. So that means your sending a king cake a week out? How old is this thing I’m going to be eating? I just can’t believe this to be the truth. That being said, I would like to think my cake hadn’t even been made yet and the order wasn’t actually processed. So I asked to cancel my order. They told me it would be $ 10 to cancel. Can we say extortion? I was appalled. Absolutely awful customer service. Never again. They can keep their king cake.

«Made with love from beginning to end.» With a motto like that, the world has truly become a better place because of Randazzo’s king cake. Built upon a strong foundation of love, pride, and joy, Randazzo’s family recipes have been passed down through the generations since 1965. Mardi Gras and holiday celebrations are not complete without king cake– it’s a popular family tradition for Louisiana natives. Any bakery that opens at 6am only to sell out of king cakes within the hour during Mardi Gras season has my utmost respect. It’s got to be knock-​your-​socks-​off good if king cakes are sold out before the end of the day! Having been featured on the Food Network, Randazzo’s Camellia City certainly has bragging rights in serving up the BEST KING CAKES in NOLA!
Randazzo’s king cake will dazzle and sparkle up your taste buds, no doubt about it! Don’t even bother to waste your money on the competition because you’ll regret not having spent it all at Randazzo’s. Each king cake is prepared with freshly made dough, meticulously hand-​braided, intertwined with sugar and cinnamon, and baked with lots of love to ultimate perfection! Then, the king cake is topped off with homemade creamy icing and Mardi Gras colored sprinkles. Take that first bite and you’ll enter a new dimension of king cake euphoria– fluffy, soft, sweet, and cinnamon goodness. It’s like eating a cinnamon roll on steroids! Pair it with a hot cup of your favorite coffee to enhance your sugar high. Once you’ve tried Randazzo’s king cake, you will fall in love and be instantly addicted.
You can customize your own king cakes with different flavors of fillings and sizes. More flavors are available during Mardi Gras such as turtle (chocolate), pecan-​praline, cream cheese, lemon, strawberry and other fruit flavors. Their packaging is great, making it easy to transport king cakes around town as you party hop. (It even made it all the way in my duffel bag through baggage claim without any damage to the cake). Pricing for traditional king cakes are as follows for in-​store pickup: small $ 15.99, medium $ 20.99, large $ 27.99, super $ 37.99. Shipping is also available worldwide and you can check out their website for more info

Whether it’s traditional or fruit-​filled, Randazzo’s king cakes are the shining stars of every celebration. Service at the bakery is always friendly with a smile (in person and over the phone), even at 6am in the morning when I stopped by to get my New Year’s king cake this year. Surprise your family and friends with the most incredibly delicious and BEST KING CAKE from Randazzo’s!

Wanted to bring some king cake back to dallas. My family loved if and they finished it in 2 days. I wished we ordered ahead because I wanted to try some flavored filings.

It was on a Friday about 4PM in January and we were on our way to New Orleans and called to find out if they had any King Cakes left. We were told they had 14 left on the shelf and arrived at the place within 30 – 40 minutes tops. They were already sold out. I thought boy these cakes must be good. But they did tell us they just delivered some cakes to Walgreens just up the road. Imagine that Walgreens. Away we went because we were on a mission to have a Kind Cake that weekend. We did indeed get an original cream filled. Later that night we cut into it and it was divine! Very moist and great flavor. It wasn’t too sweet either just right. They have a taste for everyone with all kinds of different flavors and fillings. Your sure to find a favorite!

People in the Camellia City go crazy for these king cakes.
The other day, my cousin went down to the bakery to place an order and I went with her. They were all sold out by the time we got there.
I mentioned to one of the employees that I had never tasted one of their king cakes. She disappeared into the back and returned a few moments later with a bite-​sized sample of the pecan praline filled version. It was moist and richly flavored without being sickly sweet. I finally understood all the fuss.
I grew up eating king cakes from a different bakery and to this day I remain loyal to that brand. However, I have a newfound respect for Randazzo’s. The employees were friendly, customer service was first rate and their king cake was delicious.
Any bakery that opens their doors at 6:00am and sells out by 6:30am is definitely doing something right. (That can happen in the days leading up to Fat Tuesday.) For many people there’s no better place than Randazzo’s to satisfy a craving for king cake.

The best King cakes and pastries all around! Can’t get enough! Love the service. Always fresh. Very happy about this place. Special desserts too.

Love. No other word to explain how I feel about these king cakes. After moving away from Louisiana, I counted days until I’d receive one in the mail. The flavor and freshness are amazing.

Best King Cakes in Slidell. The cakes can be ordered online, which is recommended because they sell out fast. Cakes can be shipped in special boxes, including beads and doubloons. We ship at least five every Mardi Gras, but order early!

No question, hands down the best king cake in Slidell. C’est si bon! I have never been one to say something tastes so good you’ll want to slap yo momma, but if you are eating a Randazzo’s king cake and your mom is around, you may want to warn her before you take that first bite.
You can get your king cake filled with all sorts of yumminess. If you’re a fan of apple pie (and who isn’t?!) the apple filled is an excellent choice. There’s something for everyone in terms of filling… strawberry, cherry, blueberry, raspberry, lemon, pineapple, and cream cheese. If you are having a hard time choosing favorites to fill your king cake with then pick two! Or three!
Or none…
Because although it sounds like it may be a bit boring, a plain king cake from Randazzo’s is a show-​stopping scene stealer and my absolute favorite. It’s soft and flaky cinnamon heaven. Slap yo momma soft flaky cinnamon heaven.

It is Mardi Gras season now and what better place to get those delicious king cakes than at Randazzo’s. This is the best place to get a king cake in the city.
Try the Turtle King Cake (let’s just say it has chocolate and chocolate fudge and pecans on top. Overkill? Yes!). It is ridiculously good!!! Other choices include the traditional king cake (glaze & sugar) or you can opt for ones filled with strawberry, cream cheese, blueberry, raspberry, lemon, and the like.
The dough is so soft because they hand roll every single king cake they make… no automation here!
Like all of the bakeries that specialize in king cakes, shipping is available world-​wide. So order one and experience what the locals here crave for this time of the year.

When i moved to louisiana i thought people were crazy for making such a big deal about this place. They are closed most of the year but they open mardi gras time for king cakes. They are the best king cakes ive tasted. Definatley worth the money.

King cakes are a yearly tradition for my Southern family members and Randazzo’s is a delicious means to maintain that tradition. The cakes are not only fresh, but fully customizable. The icing is not only extremely rich, the dough soft and sweet, but you can also request to fill the cakes with several heart clogging options.
Randazzo’s probably offers the best King cakes in the area. It often causes us to fight over the last few pieces, which I can proudly take claim to this year. Pecan-​Praline is a mouthwatering filling, but apple and cream cheese is a close second.
My only dislike is the somewhat poor presentation. Sure they try to be creative for Holidays and Mardi Gras, but it just doesn’t cut it.
…at least what they lack in style, they make up in flavor!

Very fresh King cake with a great taste. Two problems, overly iced and poorly decorated but you get a very nice sized cake for the price. If your in the north shore area probably the best, but certainly not worth the ride from the south shore.
