Sucré

Loved the macaroons.

Sucre is a high-​end patisserie chocolatier in Uptown New Orleans. I have frequented the establishment a number of times.
Product: Hand-​made chocolates, pastries, and gelato. I don’t ever recall having any of their frozen treats, but I have had their chocolates and a selection of their pastries. The artistry that goes into each item is easily noted. I found their eclairs to be somewhat tasty, if ridiculously over-​priced and more show than taste. 4 stars
Service: Counter service. There is a separate chocolate counter and main counter. Service was efficient, but nothing really to write home about. 3 stars
Facilities: On the lake side of Magazine Street near the locksmith, the building shares side walls with businesses on each side. It is brightly decorated. Sign is readily visible from the street. Inside is clean, with seating available for those who wish to eat their goods instead of bringing them home. Counters have most/​all products available for viewing under glass. Menus are quite descriptive for each item. 4 stars
Overall: A nice high-​end dessert business. I would suggest you check it out if you’re in the area. 4 stars

I originally came here in 2013 to pick up some birthday goodies for myself and the gal that helped me was super friendly and insisted I try the salted caramel.
Three years and tons of salted caramel macarons from other places later and this place is still the best. Thank you friendly gal! There’s just something about the delicateness of the shell of the macaron that can’t be found anywhere else. I grabbed a box of 8 to go and here I am almost 4 days later and they’re still great. I like the pistachio and some unidentified flavor (wasn’t smart enough to write down what I got) but really the salted caramel is the best.
Can’t wait to come back for more.

Omg! I felt like a kid in a toy store! This place is so pretty. So neat and clean and tidy. Relaxed atmosphere. I could just hang out here and let out a big sigh of ‘I belong here’.
I dont even know where to begin. Well, when you walk in the first thing that you see at the counter is all the delicious flavors of ice cream or sorbet or gelato… oh i dont care. I got to sample some of them and they are all so flavorful. You could get 2 scoops for about $ 4 or $ 5.
We almost went for that until we saw the sundae menu on the wall. Wow.. they all looked delicious. Priced at $ 8.50 we could see that one sundae was enough for two people… But just in case we also ordered 4 macarons. Those were $ 2 each. $ 2.50 if choc covered.
We had the Allthingsnola sundae. That mofo was good and rich. We almost couldnt finish it. I made him finish it though. You aint gonna throw 50cents worth of that yummy ass sundae! (I portioned it out in my head… lol). So good so good.
I never understood all the fuss over macarons lately. They were good… like any othe macaron Ive ever had. Better than most, for sure. They were light and fluffy. Tasted good. I have no complaints over than I felt that they were pricey but Im guess that’s due the fact that their trending right now. Ive gotten them most recently for less in other bakeries. They really are too fancy for my cookie mosnter hands. They started to crumble as I picked one up to break in half. I had to just shove the whole thing in my mouth so I wouldnt lose all the broken pieces. like cookie monster would. But that is a macaron for you.
I love this place though. I cant wait to bring my daughters here and have a girls day.

Great little sweet shop with lots of options to choose from. They have several flavors of macaroons, tons of ice cream flavors, chocolates, cupcakes and lots of sweets and pastries. This makes a great addition to Magazine Street, nestled in between shops for when you want to give your credit card a bit of a break.
I tried the lemon pie ice cream and a strawberry and salted caramel macaroon. Everything was really well done from the touch of jam in my strawberry macaroon to the pieces of graham cracker crust in the lemon pie ice cream.
A great place to check out if you are in the area. I doubt you would be disappointed with anything you choose!

Not many things in life are as balanced as macaroons. These assorted little treats have that hard shell with a soft, whipped inside; cream sits between the cookies which is sometimes adorned with sprinkles. Finally, the colors of the rainbow can be sweet, decadent, salty or even sour, each making for the perfect delicate masterpiece.
But enough of my romance with macaroons: This place was heavenly to walk into. Clean, bright lit environment, lovely service and so many options! Grab a favorite or something new, float over to a table if you can snag one and enjoy a moment of peace in the beautiful chaos that is New Orleans.

This review is only for their sundaes.
My friend who visited New Orleans a few weeks before I did highly recommended this place to me. My sister and I (who were visiting from Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV) decided to check it out even though we were stuffed from eating at Acme Oyster House literally a few minutes before. It was the last day of our trip, so why the hell not?
I got the All Things NOLA (banana foster), and she got the Sucre Sundae (chocolate) and they were seriously MASSIVE. LIKE HUGE. SUNDAES. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was debating on getting it, but it sounded so good. And it was amazing! Sadly we both couldn’t finish either of our sundaes. But every bite was SO HEAVENLY. I don’t even like ice cream that much and i was literally in heaven at this shop.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SUNDAES.

There’s so much desert to choose from. They store just sucks you in, when you walk by. You can see all the goodies from magazine street. The display of gelato (FYI I don’t like gelato) is really nice. The cakes, candies, and muffins are all displayed so… so…so deliciously perfect.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to have a tummy ache, but it was totally worth it.

SO I TAKE EVERY0NE OF MY VISITORS HERE
It, the presentation, staff, space, price point, decadent taste, even that romantic curve of Magazine always impresses.
I RANDOMLY HAPPENED UPON 2 OTHER ELITES
(my genteel darling Suzanne C. and the effervescent Re H.) on a quiet Monday at 2PM. Of course they wow’ed my newbie NYC gelato-​gobbling friend with their genuine New Orleans friendliness.
HE EPIPHANIED AND NOW ADORES OUR CITY
Sucré, April 60 degree weather, fabulous locals; ‘nuf said…

Stopped here after a dinner date with my husband for some dessert. I must say the first thing that caught my eye about this place was the ambience it was so cute! I love it.
Let’s get to the sweets:
Well I had the intensions of going to try their macaroons but ended up getting their ice cream. I must say I made a GREAT decision. I their coconut basil was so different and strange but so good. You get to sample before choosing so that was also a winner for me.
I had to try their macaroons. Honestly I’ve had better BUT the texture of these were amazing soft. I would definitely get them again here. Just when you’ve had found your ideal macaroons it’s kind of hard to top it.
Overall: I love this place and I plan on returning to try their other desserts.

This was our last stop before leaving our 3 days vacation to New Orleans, and I have to say that it was a good way to end it.
Sucre is an upscale kind of take on an gelato/​sweets shop, beautifully decorated, just like their sweets. If you can ignore or withstand the high prices, it is worth take a visit to. Their signature item, the macaroons, were quite a treat, and the Sunday we bought was tasty and big enough to warrant the $ 8 price.
Would I come here on a regular basis? Doubt it. But on a special occasion? More than likely.

The dessert here is amazing! Absolutely love the presentation and that the desserts are named after Broadway musicals! And that they play Broadway music! All of the desserts look way too beautiful to eat!
We ordered the bananas foster sundae which was huge and just the perfect amount of sweetness. I also got a chocolate covered macaron which was so rich and delightful since I am totally a chocolate lover.
The guy who helped us was really nice and the service here was great. I would recommend it if you’re in the area!

Short and simple review here.
The place to go to for fancy desserts! The gelato is all good. I’ve had every macaroon and have not been disappointed.
The little plate desserts are really where they shine. I normally get the s’more bowl and I recommend you do as well.
The only thing I would stay away from is their coffee. If you want something simple they can handle it, but once you get into your fancier lattes and such they aren’t worth the money.

Here is a place you will always find a unique sweet treat. Many items use I season ingredients such as local berries. There is always a large array of gelato to select from. I love their espresso! The pics are from a few of my favorite items. My only compliant is that it’s always very crowded. It’s filled with tourists and locals. I’ll continue to go to Sucre’ because I love the variety of assorted desserts they offer.

Every year when I visit New Orleans I make it a point to visit Sucre for several reasons. The main reason is for the gelato, the cakes, and the chocolate. Do yourself a favor and take a stroll down the beautiful garden district sidewalk and Treat yourself on those humid days with the best gelato in New Orleans. There was one year that me and my friends literally went to Sucre twice in one day because it is THIS good.

My girlfriend and I stopped at this location as well as their location in the French Quarter, Both locations are sleek and welcoming. Besides their offering of pastries (I can personally attest that the banana cream pie is the bomb) and gelato, they also serve up king cake during Mardi Gras. You can get it by the slice or an entire cake. Disclaimer: I’m not a king cake aficionado but I thought their rendition was tasty. Rich and moist without being too sweet.

Ordered $ 80 worth of King Cakes overnighted for Mardi Gras party. They were dry and had NO filling. Zilch, nada. Embarrassing. Not again.

Not the best place for dessert… I’d rather save the couple bucks and go to creole creamery for ice cream and just skip the macaroons. The coffee is also not the best and just tastes very bitter. The display and layout is pretty but I just need things to taste better!

Four stars because some of the macarons were delicious and others were way too sweet. I was recommended this place as a must-​go on my trip to New Orleans. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and was surprised that it wasn’t packed. The décor is beautifully laid out and everything is so colorful. The aroma was amazing!
I checked out the macaron section first. They had many flavors to choose from. I ordered a box of 8 and if you say they’re for you they will charge you a dollar less to put them in a regular box versus the fancy gift-​giving one. The chocolate, hazelnut, almond, and strawberry were by far my favorites. I’m from LA so I’m used to the delicious macarons from Beverly Hills. These were very good quality in comparison. I was disappointed with the other flavors though. Usually Salted Caramel is my favorite, but not here.
I then looked at their sweets. There were so many to choose from ranging from all sorts of shapes and sizes. I wasn’t in the mood for chocolate so I decided to get their mini king cake which New Orleans is famous for. Definitely regret trying it. It literally takes like bread doused in sugar and more sugar. Way too sweet to the point that I three it away after one bite.
The next day I came in to try the ice cream. I sampled the smores, which was too sweet for my liking. Then asked which ones were more tarty. I was recommended the raspberry or mango. So I went with the raspberry. It was delicious and even the smallest size was too big for me to finish.
Overall a good experience however I believe Bouchon in Beverly Hills is a lot better.

I always keep coming back over and over and over and over again. I even have the frequent punch card. Gladly will get diabetes just to eat these little delicacies! Picked up a King cake for Maris gras season and it was hard not to eat the entire thing in one sitting! As far as the gelato… The passion fruit pineapple is the best!!!

Mmm!!! Sucré has a few of the best desserts and gelato. One of my favorites is the king cake. Order a slice and have it heated in the microwave. So yummy!
Although the desserts are delicious, I do have to warn about the macarons. Yes, they make their macarons fresh daily, but they are not always served fresh daily. I stopped in the other day for a slice of king cake and purchased a few king cake macarons. They were as hard as a brick!!! I don’t know if they were stale or if they had been baked wrong. Many of the other macarons were chewy as well. I notified the employees. They apologized and threw out their set of king cake macarons after trying them for themselves. (Kind of makes me wonder exactly how fresh everything is)
Desserts are delicious, but beware the macarons!!! Make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

I love Magazine St, but I fawking love Sucre! I swear it’s like the food network came in and designed the whole place including their spectacular desserts. By no means am I a baker or chocolatier but if I were then this would be my standard because just from the two desserts that I tried out, I almost changed all my life plans to work as an apprentice at Sucre. The king cake bread pudding tart blew me away and for the first time in my life I didn’t share a single bite with my lady. Not because I was selfish, but I completely forgot she or anyone else was in the store with me. But that didn’t stop me from trying out her gelato po boy! Now that folks is a meal and a half. Don’t come in there after dinner and drinks expecting to finish it off, nuh uh! It’ll make you go back in the car to sleep it off cuz you’re drunk off sugar!

Great bright and open bakery with seating. On King Day I had a slice of their delicious King Cake. Their macarons, cakes, and other baked goods looked both pretty and delicious.
The people who work here were all young and friendly. If I lived nearby, this would be a regular stop.

AMAZING deserts. You must come here not only are they beautiful they are delicious. Also tried two flavors of the ice cream SO GOOD must at least come check this place out

I absolutely adore Sucre.
During my trip to New Orleans, my cousin, who is a native to that amazing city, took me to Magazine Street where we shopped and had fun. Of course once I saw a sign for this bakery, I wanted to go inside because their array of colorful gelatos and the gorgeous interior. I ordered the Gelato Po’ Boy, which blew my mind. Their choux pastry added a balance in both flavor and texture to the gelato «sundae,» and it made me want to taste some more flavors. I didn’t think a couple of them were all that fantastic (unfortunately I forgot which ones), but the two that I did choose (café au lait and confetti cupcake) were great! I personally think that the flavor combination between the more bitter café au lait and the sweet confetti cupcake were leveled and perfect together, so if you’re interested in trying this place or testing a new gelato combo then order that!

This bakery is a must-​see destination for anyone who enjoys food art! This place was like a museum of desserts, with its colorful, eye catching, intricately decorated desserts. Not to mention their visually appealing store décor and beautiful packaging. They offered every time of sweets that someone with a sweet tooth would want, from eclairs to macaroons to miniature cakes to ice cream.
On the downside, their presentation is so beautiful that the desserts ended up looking better than they taste. I felt that the quality of the desserts were similar to comparable bakeries. The desserts were good enough that any dessert connoisseur would enjoy their visit here, but definitely not fireworks worthy. I bought an éclair at the recommendation of one of the workers there who advertised the éclair as ranked the #13 best éclair in the world. Although tasty, I felt like I’ve tasted similar eclairs in the past. I was more satisfied by a chocolate mousse cake, which offered rich chocolateness with every bite and a delicious raspberry filling.
The prices were high (at least $ 5 – 7 for a couple of bites), but if I spent time making such gorgeous pieces of food art, I would probably charge double that price. Be careful when making your selections, because everything in the store will tempt you but the total bill will sky rocket quickly before you know it. I suggest going with a friend who can help you make wiser dessert decisions rather than going by yourself.
I bought both a dessert to eat at the store as well as take out. The store usually does a great job of beautifully plating their desserts. (However, during my visit they were confused about how I wanted one for here and the others to go so they accidentally packaged the cake that I had wanted to eat at the store). In my opinion, its a much better deal to take the desserts to go. Each dessert is individually packaged in a beautiful box, and if you order enough desserts to go, they will package all of the boxes into a beautiful bag. I left feeling very satisfied with my purchases.

I was excited to come here. It’s right on magazine street a few blocks from commanders palace. We came right after our meal there and even though we were COMPLETELY stuffed, we still wanted to try some famous sucre ice cream and macaroons. After trying a bunch of flavors and chatting with the guy at the counter, they told us they were more famous for their macaroons and their crème based gelato. So we ended up getting the malted chocolate bark and the café au lait. Both flavors were great, the café au lait was rich and the malted chocolate bark was unique, never had anything quite like it before. The bark was essentially some sort of nut and I felt like I was almost drinking a malted milkshake. We also got 2 macaroons which we ate later in our room, yum!

This place has the effect of turning an adult into a wide — eyed kid in a candy store… which it was indeed a candy store with a sophisticated (and slightly pricey) twist;)
I cannot love the atmosphere more here. It’s just pretty, for lack or a better word. It’s bright and cheerful with extremely beautiful chocolates, cupcakes, cakes/​pastries, macarons, and gelato displayed in immaculate and shiny glory. The packaging is gorgeous and dainty, the tops of the macarons and pastries are sparkly/​gold. Everything was almost too pretty to eat… Almost ;)
The macarons were delicious, flaky and soft in all the right places. The salted caramel was just the right salty-​ness. The chicory was just the right coffee-​ness. They had all the standard flavors like hazelnut and pistachio yet a few New Orleans inspired flavors like chicory which was cool. The gelato was creamy thoigh could have been a touch creamier. The coconut flavor was good.
Overall I absolutely love the place and would go back again… and again. Thankfully there are multiple locations throughout the city! :)

Solid macarons. I tried the chocolate, banana foster, and salted caramel. The chocolate tasted like a dense, rich truffle and the banana foster was interesting enough. All of the macarons had perfect textural contrast between the crunchy shell and soft, ooey center. Although I am usually not a fan of chocolate macarons, I highly recommend the chocolate one.
The service was rather odd. My friend got her coffee to-​go and the barista served it to her on a cup stained with spilt coffee that the cup looked like a spotted cow. I don’t know why he didn’t just use a new cup.

If you’re already in the Garden District, you must come here. Sucre is on par with some of the best bakeries/​sweet shops I’ve visited in the US’s major cities. The special Absinthe and Sazerac macarons are a particular, unique, regional delight. And the cakes? Dear Jebus, the cakes. After agonizing over which to try – and cursing ourselves for being too full from brunch – we settled on the gorgeous, rainbow-​colored Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It was stupendous: sweet without being too sweet, rich without overwhelming, with a delightful shell that breaks at the mere whisper of your plastic spoon.
Minus one star for the slow service and annoying child-​filled clientele, but otherwise, this place is a win.

Remove the C in sucre and what do you get? «Sure,» as in, sure thing! Don’t you C? This place is a SURE thing.
Their service was amazing. Even though all I had was a cup of tea, I was able to try their macarons and some of their desserts. Why? They gave out generous samples.
I subtracted 1 star from their review because their macaron was lacking the hard shell, which left it with mushy goodness. But besides that, I had nothing negative to say about Sucre.

They had some really yummy gelato… my fave was pistachio in very generous serving cups. They also have macarons, cupcakes, mini cakes oh my!
Gift bags are lovely looking… we kept seeing them and thought they were for some high end boutique

⁵⁄₅ Macarons! I actually did not like macarons until I had the ones from Sucre. Now I’m obsessed. Pistachio and salted caramel were my favorite but they also have cool seasonal flavors too.
¹⁄₅ Cookies and brownies. Super dry, they just fell apart in my mouth.
¹⁄₅ Red velvet cupcake. One of the worst I’ve ever had. I think it had too much vinegar in it because it tasted very sour.
⁴⁄₅ Salted caramel cupcake. Buttercream frosting was a little hard but this was the better of the cupcakes.
⁵⁄₅ Atmosphere and the cute boxes! Everything looked delicious even if it didn’t taste that way.

Mother of god the bananas foster macaron is like crack. If I lived in NOLA I would have no teeth from eating these every day.
One of the best I’ve ever had, ranks right up there with Paris.
Cage au lait was a bit watery though hence only the 4 stars.
Try the deserts!

We came for breakfast to this little bakery, but it’s probably better for deserts or in the afternoon. We still liked it a lot. We had a brown and a delicious green apple tart. I also had a cappuccino, which was not very good.
