Maurice French Pastries

This is our first time trying this place, which was recommended by a family member. We preordered a specialty King cake which looks great. We decided to get other little treats, which one ended being the tiramisu and it ended up having mild in it (gross). We went back and all they did was apologize and refunded me for it. This is someone’s health and this was all we got. I am very disappointed. Please check and make sure they «rotated» their mini desserts.

The Ponchatoula was most delicious king cake I have ever eaten. It was also the most expensive king cake I have ever purchased. But, it was worth it. The strawberries and the Bavarian crème were great. It is somewhat of a hybrid cake/​king cake. Definitely worth it.

We chose Maurice for our wedding cakes and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The wedding coordinator (Jean) was extremely helpful since day one. Not only was she professional, she was extremely patient and friendly and made this component of our wedding a breeze. As for the cakes, both bride and groom’s, they were PHENOMENAL! I posted cake pics. Thank you Maurice French Pastries!!!

Their Ponchatoula King Cake is to die for! I’ve come across many King cakes made by different bakery and most of them are too sweet! Maurice makes their king cake very balanced. Flavorful, fresh, soft and a perfect amount of sweetness. My family loved the king cake and they aren’t a fan of sweet either! Thank-​you Maurice French Pastries are your services!

Service is terrible. I ordered my king cake over the phone and pre-​paid. When I came in to pick it up, they lost my ordered and I had to wait for them to get more. I should have stuck to Haydel’s.

I recently purchased a Ponchatoula Strawberry king cake and my family enjoyed it to the extent I only had two pieces. Won’t be my last one.

Every year, between work and parties, I try 20+ King cakes and Maurice’s Ponchatoula King cakes are my favorite! I fell in love at first bite at the King Cake Festival last year, where it won best filling. Bavarian and Chantilly cream with fresh strawberries! AMAZING. I could eat this every week. I can’t emphasize enough… Everyone should try it! Even if you’re not a fan of King cakes, check it out!

Stopped into Maurice shopping for a birthday cake and I must say they never cease to fail. Had a delicious doberge cake that was one of the best I have ever had. Only problem with this bakery is price. You will pay about ¹⁄₃ more here for just about everything but the quality is hard to beat.

My mom and I ordered a croquembouche for Christmas and were very disappointed. Instead of thin threads of spun sugar, it had gobs of thick, hard sugar poured all over it making it inedible. We also ordered a tiramisu cake that was good, but needed more of an espresso flavor than it had.
Overall we were very disappointed especially since we had to wait 2 hours for them to make it once we arrived even though we had ordered it days in advance. It appeared they had lost our order and had to rush the job. We were also not the only ones to whom this happened as we noticed a couple of others having the same discussion with them as we had about the cake not being ready.
If we decide to go back, it will not be to pick up a croquembouche as it was not worth the $ 90 we paid.

They really have the best king cakes! I get the Ponchatoula Strawberry every year. It’s perfect and HUGE! The strawberry king cake is like a sandwich with Bavarian cream between the wonderfully fluffy dough. They then top it off with Chantilly cream, strawberries, and toasted almonds. So amazing and beautiful. I’ve honestly never bothered to order anything else from here, but I have a feeling you couldn’t go wrong.
When you go to pick up your cakes, the bakery seems a little run down and is in a weird area. DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU! Inside is savory sweetness!

I have been going to Maurice’s since I was a young girl. After all these years the taste and service is consistent now as it was then. It seems like anything made with the almond flavor is wonderful! I am very particular eclairs and Maurice’s nails it everytime. Thank you for bringing back memories everytime I go there. I purchased a German Chocolate cake for my daughter’s birthday. It was delicious!!!

As good as it gets! That sums this place up when referring to pasteries and king cakes.

Our wedding cakes were fabulous! The croquembouche was gorgeous and became a focal point in the reception room. The surprise groom’s cake in chocolate with praline buttercream was simply decadent.
We ordered way more cake than needed for our wedding of 50 guests and yet it was all gone by the end of the night.
It was great working with Jean and I would recommend Maurice’s to any bride-​to-​be.

The best doberge cake in the world! We’re big fans of their cakes. We don’t just get birthday cakes from there, but we got our wedding cakes from there as well. Doberge, fresh fruit, you name it. They don’t just do it they’re the best! Give em a try. You won’t be disappointed.

it’s fresh, looks ok, taste ok but it’s not an authentic «french pastries», you can find the same or more at whole food tasting the same or better…
i was expected a better selection «made in france».

We’ve been coming here for years. No, I am Not a diabetic… haha.
The squares are worth what you pay for. I love their specialty cakes too!
I love everything here.
Staff is friendly
Good thing I don’t live close or I would be soo overweight.

I ordered a strawberry shortcake for my graduation party a week in advance. I asked if they can make it into a tooth shape and they said they will call me back to see if they can. They called back the next day and said it’s possible. I spelled out my name twice for them, yet they still spelled my name wrong on the cake. The most important thing is that the cake looks like someone took a bite out of it. For over $ 150, I could’ve «cut» the cake myself into a tooth. If they weren’t confident on taking this request, they could’ve said so and I still would’ve bought it with their regular shape. My brother picked up the cake, so I didn’t get to see it until he got home. I quickly called them to complain. The female asked me to text message a picture of the cake for her. She responded with, «I can give you $ 25 back on the cake. The cake is a $ 148 cake before the cutout as it is. We miss priced it but I agree the shape could have been better.» Really? I always loved Maurice’s cake, but this experience was just plain bad. My party is tomorrow, so it’s too late to get another! I’m beyond pissed.

The doberge cakes and petit fours are the reason why my family has been coming to Maurice’s for 20+ years. The doberge cakes come in various flavors and are always über fresh and delicious. I like to get the half and half vanilla and chocolate to please all cake eaters or to have a slice of each! The petit fours are also top notch quality in freshness and flavor. If you are an intense chocolate lover (like myself) you cannot get a more intense chocolate cake than the dark chocolate truffle cake. It’s so rich and decadent the smallest size will do for even a mid sized gathering because a small slice is all you can stand before the chocolate gremlin living inside you has had enough.

Eight weeks of Mardi Gras this year have inspired me to try eight king cakes that I have never had before in my ongoing quest to «get» all the hype over king cakes. Maurice French Pastry was on my list for their Galette Des Rois (my personal favorite because I’m not crazy about a ton of icing and/​or sugar.) I stopped by this week to pick one up for work and I ended up leaving with two king cakes– the one I planned on getting and one called the Ponchatoula (a «normal» brioche-​style king cake with cinnamon, sliced in half and filled with Bavarian cream, Chantilly cream, slivered almonds and fresh strawberries.)
This location is rights off of Vets with a decent amount of parking. There are no frills whatsoever on the interior, it is just a big room with a line of pastry cases and baker’s racks of goodies in the front. The employees are friendly and make sure to remind you to put your cake on the floor of your car, just case.
Both of the king cakes were absolutely delicious and devoured immediately by my co-​workers. I definitely preferred the Galette Des Rois, but Ponchatoula was a nice surprise. The prices were right on par with any other bakery (I paid around $ 55 for two cakes.)
I have a co-​worker that is nuts for their Kugelhopf and brings them work pretty regularly. They do them in a ton of flavors. I like the plain/​almond flavor the best.
After making a visit myself and surveying the wide array of items in their cases, I would definitely recommend trying them out if you’re in the market for a different kind of king cake or some pastries.

So, I’ve never ever been to Maurice’s bakery, YET! But I’ve been hearing a lot of darn good things and Im a big French pastry fan. My friend surprised me with his oh so famous kingcake CAKE! lol. my God. it is amaaazzingg. The filling was custard and light whipped cream with strawberry and topped with with more strawberries and mardi gras colored sugar and confectioner’s sugar. whoa. talk about a heart attack waiting to happen. lol my bf and I had a piece and it was just amazing. I didnt wanna share my cake with anyone but I end up cutting pieces of it and giving it away to my family. I just HAD to share Albin’s goodness. its amazing. seriously. Now I really will go and check out his bakery and see what other French pastries he has!
