Placed my order a week in advance. When I spoke to the representative, she stated that I wanted happy birthday on my cake. Along with fresh flowers. I went to pick up my cake there was some fake as flowers that appears to have been on another cake that was used already. Absolutely disgusting and no happy birthday. I am so disappointed.

Adrian's took no responsibility for this disaster of a cake. When I contacted them to discuss the issue, not only were they dismissive of the horrible cake, THEY were offended because I said that the cake looked like someone was under the influence when the message was written on the cake. No accountability and no acknowledgement of the cake appearance.
In short, I was told that because the cake was purchased from the case, the cashier wrote on it, but had an order been placed in advance, the cake decorator would have written on it. So, if a person new to the area, walks into the bakery to try something from the case, they should expect poor service because an order wasn't placed in advanced?
When I showed the pics of the cake, 60% of my friends thought that the kids made me a cake, the others thought I distorted the image of the cake. Just admit that it was wrong!

My cousin had an unfortunate experience in his life. He lost 3 of his closes relatives in his life. His mom, dad and grandpa were all killed in a car accident. I wanted to cheer them up by ordering a king cake from New Orleans and have it sent to them. I ordered the king cake on February 22 nd to have it shipped to El Paso Texas where the funeral was held. and here it is March 3 rd.
And still no king can was delivered. I payed for the order that same day as I ordered it. I called Adrain's Bakery in New Orleans like 12 times. They was trying to track down my tracking number. But to no avail. They told me 3 days ago the king cake was shipped and my cousins should be receiving it that day. Well they kept waiting and checked for the package to come in and it has not arrived.
Before people order from Adrain's Bakery in New Orleans you should always get your tracking number before you end the call. Somehow my order was never never done and was missed placed. I would not recommend this bakery to anyone. They never did call me back with the tracking number like the lady explained she would. Although they took my payment and did not refund me back my money.
I sure wish this mess would be cleared up. Well my cousins are headed back to Broken Arrow Oklahoma from El Paso Texas. The funeral is over and the have to get back to their lives in Oklahoma. Wow never thought by ordering from this said company would case so much stress. So any way Mr. Adrain would you please return my call. Or owner/Management.

RUDE and the online posted hours are inaccurate. I checked Yelp and their website for the business hours and when I arrived an hour before scheduled closing, the guy was locking the door. I asked him if I could make a purchase, and he pointed to the sign on the door and said they were closed. I said, "I came all the way from across town based on the hours posted on YOUR website and Yelp. You need to update those sites." He rolled his eyes at me and closed the door.

I brought 3 packs of these cinnamon rolls to take back to Texas, I wish I would have gotten more. They were amazing, they melt in your mouth. They remind me of my childhood going to Mckenzie bakery with my Grandma. I will be going back. Oh the jelly filled donuts oh my goodness. The customer service was good, both the young man and lady that was working in there was very kind, even when I called to inquire about the time they close and if they had cinnamon rolls, the young man was very respectful and I appreciate that.

Went in the this morning to get a King Cake for the office. They had various sizes and types displayed, I selected a large King Cake and waited to checkout the lady at the counter was courtesy and even apologized for my wait (they only had 2 customers in front of me). The King was moist and fresh and reasonably priced. I would go back again, too it is super convenient to my home.

We went to this place on a recommendation. While past reviews commented on the service, our experience was good. The young lady at the counter was friendly and helpful. We got plain frosted king cakes, a praline loaf, doughnuts and coffee. All were delicious. The praline loaf had moist, structured cake with a yummy praline icing. The king cake was moist, flavorful and beautifully decorated. The doughnuts were yummy. The store could use some love, but take your goodies to go and enjoy!

Whatever you do, do not order from this bakery! Horrible customer services and untimely delivery on there product. You try and support our people businesses and then they in turn do stuff like not have things ready. They are a horrible excuse for a bakery. You let your customer service our shine you talent for your craft! Y'all have to go better!

My daughter and I ordered a cake for my wife's upcoming birthday celebration and we picked one that they had displayed on their Instagram page that was topped with metallic colored macaroons, made with yellow cake and filled with strawberry filling. We paid twice the normal price for this size cake in order to have it done the way my wife likes it.
Well what we got on the day of the event was, white cake with no filling at all and no macaroons at all. The bakery is an absolute disgrace and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone at all!

Order 12 donuts through door dash only got 11. Missing my 3 glazed donuts. Received 4 unknown donuts instead of the 4 twisted I ordered. Jelly donuts where originally glazed but powdered over to look like powdered donuts only received 1 twisted. If you didn't have it you should have canceled my order

For the first time we ordered King Cake for delivery to California. We are very pleased with our Adrian's Bakery experience! The cake arrived fresh and the strawberry and cream cheese filling was fantastic! The web site (at least from what I could tell) only allowed me to choose 1 filling. I added a comment to the order requesting cream cheese in addition to strawberry.
Even though I didn't get a response back, they fulfilled the request. As I'm sure happens with shipping cross country on items like this (handling, weather, etc.), the frosting and sugar combined so it wasn't quite as "pretty" as picking it up from the bakery. This would not impact our decision to order from them again next year - which I definitely plan on doing! Unless we can visit them in person

I went to support this black business a little while ago. Their hours clearly state that they close at 6pm. I walk up at 5:15pm and they locked the door in my face. No kind of explanation. They wouldn't even hear that their hours clearly state 6pm. I will not be returning their anytime soon nor will I send anyone there. I was very disappointed.

Every year I wait, very impatiently I might add for King Cake season. I don't frequent Adrians any other time other than King Cake time! They have one of the tastiest cakes around. I've never had a stale one or any other type of issue with one. They've all been fresh and consistent with flavor, toppings and fillings.

Adrian's Bakery has given themselves a facelift! In my previous experience the customer service was horrible. I haven't seen the lady who was extremely rude during my time supporting this business so the owners must have caught on. Not only does the shop look extremely amazing the product quality has also significantly increased. The cinnamon rolls are to die for. I have also grown to live their turtles.

I dearly want to support small, local businesses, but if the product provided is subpar. how can we? Ordered some baked goods for delivery to a birthday party. Cut in to the first cake and could tell already it was not fresh. Tried the second cake and it was so dry, brittle, and flavorless we decided to throw out the entire order (and we NEVER waste food - but this was inedible). Seems to be no pride taken here.

We've been using Adrians for my children's parties for the last 4 years. The last year the quality & service has gone significantly downhill. Last fall, there was a power outage and my daughters cake wasn't ready. Okay no problem, they rushed my daughters cake order and the cake looked okay- but wasn't exactly what we asked for, plus it put a strain on making her party on time due to having to wait for the cake to be finished.
I figured no one has control over a power outage and gave them another chance. My sons first birthday cake came w a free smash (I was told this when I ordered) when my husband went to pick up the cake there was no smash cake and they had no record of my order. My cake was done but they said they had no ticket. I went back in tears because no one answered the phone and they rush made a smash cake and delivered it to my house.
I thought okay things happen. Today. My daughters 6 birthday. She had a v specific vision in mind. She printed the cake picture off and we brought it in a month ago. They instructed me to bring the dolls on Thursday to drop off so they could put on. We go to pick up the cake. It isn't ready. We come back 45 minutes later. The cake is done but the dolls haven't been out on and many pieces of the fondant are missing.
It doesn't look like the picture. They hand me back the dolls and I'm like alright I'll do it myself. I pre paid $95 for a cake that looked like crap that I had to complete work on myself. It's the last time I will ever use their bakery. It's sad because I go out of my way to Support local black owned family businesses and this makes me second guess my choices. Do better.

I only go for the cinnamon rolls! They are EVERYTHING! It's a 20 minute drive from where I live but well worth it. There are 8 glazed soft cinnamon rolls in a package. Glaze to roll distribution is adequate! They are packaged in a clear plastic bag. so you see what you are buying and you choose which package you want. I will try the praline cake the next time I'm there.

I don't know why I continue to patronize this place. We've purchased this praline pound cake on several occasions, and it's typically good. On yesterday, however, it was not. I called around 3:30pm to let them know that it didn't taste fresh, was dry, and the frosting was soft, instead of crispy, and had a strong, winy smell. I was forced to leave a voicemail.
I was hoping someone would return my call, but, of course, they did not. The customer service is sorely lacking, and, quite frankly, has never really been good. Disappointed once again.

What's not to love about this bakery? You walk in and it smells absolutely heavenly. All buttery sugary goodness and it's just glorious. I checked out the reviews and saw lots and lots and lots about the poor customer service. I personally didn't experience this, but I will say that I found the customer service to be quite matter of fact.
Dry even. Serviceable, but yeah, it's not all warm and fuzzy, which is at odds with how good the smells make you want to behave. So be warned. You aren't going to be greeted with unicorns and rainbows here! However, you will walk out with some delicious treats. And that my friends, is what keeps me going back. The king cake thing here is real.
Over the course of Mardi Gras me and my pal devoured three, yes, three king cakes in less than a week. He's a pig, I'm a pig, late night frolicking, early morning coffee.king cake gave us life. And the praline king cake from here.heavenly. The cake part was cinnamonny goodness, and the praline topping (while diabetic coma inducing) was amazing.
Last year we devoured a cream cheese cake and proudly served them under our tent during the Zulu parade. Definitely a win. When my friends wanted me to bring king cakes back, this was where I stopped before getting on the plane. And it's not just a king cake spot, oh no! Adrian's makes amazing cupcakes, donuts, buttermilk drops and they had some gorgeous chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's day. I'm a fan.

I don't care if the pastries are good. The customer service is awful. I walked in and the man on the phone greeted me happily. Then I patiently waited my turn and when the customer was done, I didn't know if the gal was going to offer me help. Then someone walked in and she moved any attention she had to her. Then I asked some questions and the gal rolled her eyes as I asked some simple questions.
After she checked me out, she said she was tired (not directed to me but just out loud). I want to shop local and in my own community but no way will I give money to a business that has the worst customer service.

How does this place never have ice on Saturday mornings? Cashier is either rude or not properly trained. The chocolate donuts are figuratively a dime a dozen. Today was first day they didn't run out. On a positive note (OAPN) the cakes are some of the best. The raspberry filled donuts are also really good. (OANN) You can't operate alone on a quality product Adrians. Customer Service is essential. We will travel to the next neighborhood for the next big thing if you don't straighten up. Just reviewin!

1st downfall, although its name is on the marquis, the storefront lacks proper signage to identify it. So in the vast parking lot that is shared by other retail establishments it's a bit unsettling trying to find the bakery. 2nd downfall, once I locate it, I amble inside & as expected, 1st impression, it has the look & smell of a bakery, cool beans.
But as I near the register, I am disappointed to see the cashier entertaining & holding a small child, while she neglected to address my needs. A 2nd young lady walks up & assists me with my selection (sugar free king cake). I must shamefully admit although the appearance of the cake was less than desirable, I purchased it anyway, looks can be deceiving & because my granny so desired.
But as I exited, I knew this was my last time there, sugar free king cake or not. Oh btw, granny says the sugar free king cake wasn't all that great; I'm not surprised.
