Crema's Take
“This beloved Providence bakery has earned a devoted following for its genuinely exceptional red velvet cake—moist, perfectly balanced, and so good that even skeptics become converts—but don't sleep on their king cake, which earns authentic praise from New Orleans natives who know the real thing. Beyond the standout pastries, LaSalle offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere perfect for breakfast and light meals, with a team that goes the extra mile on special occasions, from birthday orders to custom wedding cakes. The fact that 889 reviewers keep coming back speaks to the kind of place where quality ingredients and genuine care translate into cakes that stay moist for days and moments people actually remember.”

Got a red velvet cake for my moms birthday bcuz I read someone else’s review about how it was the best … and I have to agree .. I’m also not a huge red velvet fan but I am now. I can’t wait to buy one again! The frosting was perfection; cream cheesy and just the right amount of sweetness… the cake itself was super moist and soft and dense but fluffy all at the same time. Drooooool. Also got an Italian panini for lunch which was also delicious.
Ordered a Red Velvet Cake for a friend's birthday and it was amazing! Super moist cake while still being light and airy. Stayed moist in the fridge for days! Slightly too much frosting, but it was delicious and not too sweet.
I inquired about doing a wedding cake and had the pleasure of working with Alice! I sent a picture of my inspo cake, which they mentioned they don't normally do but since it was such a special occasion and that the notice was in advance enough, they could do it for me! They delivered the cake to my venue and everything was a breeze. I ordered a "sweetheart cake" meant for cutting. It was HUGE! I was pleasantly surprised lol. I got everything I asked for. I would recommend ordering from here if you want a smooth process and a beautiful cake.
Loved the king cake from this place. I'm from New Orleans and know good king cake and they did a fantastic job! Would like to try other things more.
First time coming here. Ordered ahead a red velvet cake for my fiancé’s birthday. Best red velvet cake I have ever tasted in my entire life. They recommended taking the cake out of the fridge 1 hour prior to eating which was spot on. The cake was so soft, a beautiful red, and the frosting was a creamy, not overly sweet, cream cheese frosting. The thinly shaved chocolate shavings on the side was a wonderful touch. They weren’t crunchy; so they added flavor without taking away from the softness/cloud like texture of the cake. Best thing? I don’t even like Red Velvet cake. BUT I DO NOW. 🤭🥳 My fiance on the other hand… his favorite.. and he too said this was the best he has ever had. Seriously made long term/future customers for special occasions or random stop ins. I can’t wait to try all the things. Staff was also nice. Straight to business, but pleasant.
