Crema's Take

This beloved New Orleans institution is far more than a coffee stop—it's a pastry pilgrimage destination where buttery, heavenly gooeys and their famous doberge cakes steal the show alongside warm, genuinely attentive service. The cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to linger with locals over traditional drinks and some of the most talked-about cakes in the city, from their celebrated king cake to delicate fruit-forward creations that are light and airy. Every visit feels like discovering a hidden gem, where the staff's generous spirit and expert recommendations make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk through the door.

Yes they are a full service bakery with a variety of wonderful items…BUT THE GOOEYS. The most heavenly, buttery, wonderful cake you will ever experience. The king cake version is great, but you have to try the almond and praline versions. Transcendent. And yeah, you can get awesome croissants, king cakes, danish, etc. - but do not leave without that ooey gooey goodness!

We tried the doberge petit fours and it was delicious. Really sad that they don’t sell king cake by the slice 💔

Great desserts and customer service. My favorites were the cake with pineapple and strawberry. It was light and airy and the chocolate chip cookie was perfect. I did get the cream cheese danish, double chocolate cookie and cheesecake(has the texture of a kings cake). All of those items were dry and I did not enjoy. Paid parking on the street. I would return due to the items I was able to enjoy. In there defense it was the end of the day near closing.

A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, attentive service that sets the tone for a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—perfect for a relaxed treat or a catch-up with friends. The pastries were absolutely delightful. The crème brûlée was heavenly—perfectly caramelized on top with a silky-smooth custard underneath. I also tried a small slice of the velvet cake, and it was just as impressive—rich, moist, and full of flavor. A lovely spot that delivers on both taste and vibe. Highly recommended!

The best service, the woman helping me out was so friendly and gave some recommendations on what flavors to get. I ended up getting the caramel doberge cake and a slice of king cake. Doberge cake: The cake itself tasted really good and was super moist. The custard didn't really taste like much though, but it had a nice creamy texture. The caramel icing tasted really really good, but it was waaaaay too sweet. If it had 1/4 of the sugar, it would've been more enjoyable. King cake: It was basically just a stale cinnamon roll with way too much frosting on top. I wouldn't recommend it. Everything was just so overly sweet, and the things I got weren't super memorable. I don't think I'd try anything else from here.
