Located Northeast of New Orleans in Metairie, the locals-only shop brought to attention by a server at Emerils who explained that the bakery laid claim to inventing Doberge Cake, it was midday that two entered Joe Gambinos Bakery on Veterans Memorial Boulevard, neither the inside nor exterior seeming as though much has changed since opening in 1949.Said by some to make the regions best King Cake, seasonal variants including an Orange and Black ring breaking tradition and offered all year long, Joe Gambinos has additionally made a name for itself as a great place for Weddings, Birthdays or even NFL Saturday creations, everything from Geaux Tigers to a Po-Boy Shaped Cake presented on shelves with a counter off to the left specifically set aside to discuss such designs with clients.Open at 8 oclock in the morning, a sizable selection of sweets nonetheless still available around 3:00pm on a Tuesday, it was with friendly service plus low prices that a collection of some seventeen small bites and slices, including a few duplicates, was chosen Coffee back at the hotel undoubtedly requisite for such a tasting, but in actuality not yet even brewed when teeth cracked the Chocolate Shell of a sugary-sweet Praline Cake Ball.Happy to see most options available in personal or Petit Four portions, the King Cake Cake Ball not really anything like the frosted yeasted ring, but more like colored Wedding Cake compressed into an almost pudding-like orb, better bites were found in both bites of Red Velvet with the square given preference, Carrot Cake unfortunately for lack in terms of spices while the Russian Rum Cube was far too artificial and harsh, the Tootsie Roll textured Rum Ball faring much better.Not particularly impressed by the dense and flavorless Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, far better flavor found in both the meltingly soft Butter Pecan puddle as well as the dense and chewy Turkish Macaroon, Joe Gambinos Praline offers great texture when compared to many of the gritty commercial counterparts while the famous Doberge that unapologetically riffs on Hungarian Dobos Torte is nothing but a pale imitation, the Sponge Cake really no better than boxed with super sweet Buttercream Frosting. endoedibles.com
Extremely poor customer service. The employees are not helpful nor friendly… you could say downright RUDE! Also way over priced for the quality of product they serve. I brought some friends and family into the bakery from out of town, One employee even offended one of my family members. So embarrassing to say this is now their impression of New Orleans. I will not be returning to or ordering anything from this establishment ever again due to my horrific experience.
