Angelo's Bakery - Metairie

Ordering one day cake with strawberry cream cheese icing. I have a strawberry cake instead. Drove two hours as I went through recommendations from others. A cake, the word Bday cake, not cheesecake. She doesn't eat cheesecake. Was very specific because I didn't want real strawberries, but strawberry cream cheese for Icing. Really disappointed because the owner didn't even offer to make the right or make the cake right. All right and hanged on my wife.

Service was exceptional, but Gelato and Cannolis were nothing special. The cannolis were "filled at the place", so the bowl was not soggy, but the filling was not good. I came back from Italy 6 months ago and we had Cannolis and Gelato every day. This place was not even close, as not sure as it did this year as James Beard Finalist.

I notice that the negative reviews are within the last few months, and unfortunately my new visit was also disappointing. I got cinnamon rolls, but they were kept in the front refrigerator and felt very heavy. I tried to warm them up in the microwave that helped them make them softer, but they were dry and tasteless.

I'll never forget when I moved to Metairie, I was on Cleary and found Angelo's,MamaMia!! I have the cup of cake everyone loved. Of course we went back

I am deeply saddened to leave this review of Angelo's king cake. I purchased a cinnamon king cake made by Angelo's at the navel base in Belle Chase. The king cake was burnt on the bottom and very dry. I know this is not the norm for Angelo's. I called Angelo's to let them know. The manager said they can't be responsible for how outside vendors handle the king cakes. She confirmed that ALL the king cakes are made at Angelo's. My thinking is that an outside vendor has nothing to do with a burnt king cake if it is baked at Angelo's. The manager did not want to see pictures and did not want me to bring it in. I called because my beloved Angelo's king cake was not being represented for how wonderful it usually is. That being said, I'm still out $16. I wonder how many other burnt king cakes are out there ruining Angelo's reputation. I think I care more than the manager did.
