Tee Eva’s Famous Old Fashioned Pies & Pralines

Hands down the BEST pralines in Nola! Tried several different shops and nothing even came close to the taste of hers! We had to bring tons back home to Indy just so all of our family could taste how good they were! Mmm mm!

I bought a couple of their sweet potato pecan pies and was very pleasantly surprised. Where I’m from sweet potato pie takes kind of like pumpkin. Not here! It has a far more delicate flavor, and the crunch of the pecans on top add a lot. Their pecan pie was also really nummy.

Went to Tee Eva’s this afternoon while strolling Magazine Street and looking for some ice cream. Saw they have sno balls so decided to stop in. First was surprised at the tiny size of the place and the cage. Then was surprised that a guy working walked past us twice and completely ignored us. So we left. I’m not interested in giving my money to a business that doesn’t acknowledge me.

Do not order from them!!! I ordered online and my pralines had 3 day shipping. Waited a week before I called. They were so unbelievably rude to me and they didn’t even ship them out! After calling back and talking to a halfway decent human being, they resent them again with 3 day shipping. After 5 days I emailed back asking if they actually sent them this time and the reply I got was «FOR SURE!». That was their whole email back! I can’t believe how rude and mean they were to a customer they messed they’re order up on twice! My grandma finally got her birthday pralines 18 days later.

Don’t waste your time ordering from this bakery. There products may be fine (I’ll never know) but there business practices are horrible.
I placed an internet order for 2 pies on ¹²⁄₅ and received an order confirmation from a 3^rd party billing site. No information about shipment or delivery, just confirming the total cost. There was no place on the ordering site to request or show an anticipated delivery date.
On ¹²⁄₁₅ I still had not heard anything about my order so I went back through the 3^rd party site and asked if they could give me a projected shipping date from my order. On ¹²⁄₁₇ I received an e-​mail from the 3^rd party site canceling my order and stating that I would not be billed. A week before Christmas and now I’m out in the cold.
This may be a wonderful bakery but they have very poor business practices and very weak internet ordering process.

The young lady made the praline for me very small walk up restaurant order at the window inside and walk, away with a decadent piece of praline. I was headed out of the city and someone told me to try it I am so happy I did…

Placed an online order. Never got a tracking number so I know it did not ship. Did not arrive so I contacted their online order company and they just forwarded my email to Tee Eva. Called Tee Eva directly and got hung up on by some jerk at their location. Called back and left my info to get a call back from someone who could actually help me. (never got a call back) They finally re-​shipped the order. Said it was shipped twice and sent back twice, which is not only a lie but impossible. This all took 6 weeks.
Finally got the Pralines — Hard and dry and not that good.
Bottom line is they suck and their customer service is non-​existent and should not be selling online if they don’t know how.

delicious pies and the blessings and love miss tee eva pours into her food make it even better!!!
truly a sweetie!

After an afternoon at the Audubon Zoo we stopped by for a quick snack. Tee Eva herself came out and visited with us for over an hour, felt like locals sitting at the sidewalk table with her. The pies are outstanding and we got Pralines to go which I ate on the way back to D/​FW. Amazing place and small piece of New Orleans history.

Not the most business oriented place or the friendliest, but the pralines were a relief to be so good after the crappy ones I tried in the French Quarter and the pecan cheesecake, even though I don’t think I am normally a fan of pecan pies, was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had. So sad I didn’t know how tasty these pralines and pecans were until after I was at the airport and could not buy more.

Don’t know how this place stays in business. On my third attempt to use my living social deal, they were open (why bother complying with posted hours). Walked in and was greeted with «who is it?». When told her that I wanted to buy a dozen pralines her response was «you got cash?». Told her about the voucher and was greeted with an almost violent response. «We ain’t doing that no more. Wet ain’t got paid!». I was going to buy add a gift for a friend but after the ghetto assed response and the fact that they made me come back three times, I went to Aunt Sally’s and paid full price. This place can suck a bag of d! cks

2.5 stars for a «just ok» rating. (sorry if I am making up ratings)
Having just finished a delicious brunch in the lower Garden District, I opted to drive the length of Magazine Street to see if anything struck my fancy. When I saw the snowball sign outside of Tee Eva’s, I thought I’d give it a try; especially since I have been on a snowball quest lately.
Looking to try something different, I ordered a small cantaloupe. To my dismay, I was politely told that they were out of cantaloupe. Not a disaster, so I thought I’d try a watermelon. Once again, I was out of luck, as I was politely told that they were also out of watermelon.
Now I was no longer in the mood for a snowball, so I opted for one of her pralines. To a layman, this would probably be a tasty treat. And although it was buttery and sugar sweet, I could tell that it had not been cooked within the past 48 hours, as it just didn’t have that certain texture that I was used to. The sugar had started to crystallize slightly and it was just an ok praline.
I give this place 2.5 star rating as I feel it is just ok, and I base this on the extremely nice manner of the owner. Perhaps I just went on a rare off day, so I vow to go another day in the future to try another praline and to hopefully get the snowball of my choosing.

Spent the previous weekend playing tourists in the Quarter. My mother sent word that she wanted me to buy her two Pralines and bring to her to enjoy. Not being one to refuse a request from my mother I had to get some pralines.
But Harry was not going to buy any made for tourists in the Quarter. Went to Tee Eva’s on Magazine St. to make sure she would have some very good and tasty pralines. Got to keep Mommy happy.

I have always purchased my pralines from Ms Loretta in Marigny. Now that I’ve moved uptown I thought I’d try Tee Eva’s. My neice was visiting and wanted to buy several for her mother as a present. The woman working was very dissinterested in helping us. We told her how many, she asked if we wanted a bag, dropped them in a generic shopping bag and went back to the cooking area without saying a thing.
Miss Loretta always had a smile on her face and my family loved that she’d «put a lil bit of Jesus» in every order. This cracks me up and I’d be happy to drive downtown for better service.

I traveled from DC to NO and before hand purchased a groupon for a dozen of Tee Eva pralines. I took a cab out to Magazine Street assuming this place was a part of the shops + eateries I kept hearing about.
NOT TO MUCH! Its a tiny house/​shop on a corner deep into the neighborhood so if youre a tourist, WARNING: this place is FAR! I had to come back the following day via city bus.
While I was surprised by the homliness of the shop I’m a little disappointed to learn Ms Tee Eva who served us didnt mention her other products. I would have happily purchased a pie to try, oh well!
These are a gift for my mom and aunt so no review on the product itself. Will update soon.

Inconsistent hours (don’t bother looking on their website because it’s not accurate), high prices, and marginal food make this a business to pass by rather than stopping this winter. I certainly hope the pies, pralines, and sno-​balls are at least good but I can tell you that their jambalaya was one of the worst I’ve had and the crawfish pie was pretty good but horribly expensive for just a couple bites. Hopefully the traditional pies are much better, I may stop in again this summer once it’s warm enough to have a sno-​ball but I suspect pies and sno-​balls will also be exorbitantly expensive so even that is questionable.

I used to love Tee-​Evas! I would go every time i went from Chicago to visit my sister in New Orleans! I saw the groupon and was excited! I tried to redeem on FOUR occasions! After the first time I called to see if pralines would be available. She said after 2 so I went and they weren’t ready yet. The third time I showed up and there was a big basket full but she said they were for an order so I couldn’t get mine. The last time I called and again none were ready. If you don’t want to fulfill groupon orders then don’t sign up

I ordered a dozen pralines from this vendor for shipment. They never arrived. This is very sad.

Before I ever drove by this little place off of Magazine street I read about Tee (for Auntie) Eva’s in a book about famous New Orleans foods.
Just picked up 24 biiiig pralines (using a groupon!). They smell so good and you can watch them being made. I love seeing the care going into them!
Besides pralines, Tee Eva’s makes full pies, tiny little pies (pecan, sweet potato, etc), and a variety of NOLA fair including gumbo to go.

My personal favorite place to get red beans and rice. $ 5 for a bowl of the best red beans you’ll ever have, isn’t bad. And who doesn’t love food stands?
Known for the pralines however they also sell gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish étouffée and other creole specialities. The dessert menu ranges from pecan pie to snow balls. Try the sweet potato pie, it’s absolutely heavenly.
