Haydel's Bakery
King Cakes and Baked Goods From the NOLA Landmark
Since its founding in 1959 as a small, 24-hour window-service bakery by Mildred and Lloyd Haydel, Haydel’s Bakery has since become a legendary New Orleans-area institution for its wide variety of scratchmade cakes, cookies, pastries, and more family-recipe NOLA-inspired treats – and its king cakes are a Mardi Gras tradition for countless locals.
Haydel’s is today run by the third-generation of the Haydel family, and owner David Haydel is the only baker in Louisiana who’s internationally certified as a Craftsman and Master Baker. In 2010, Haydel’s even broke the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest King Cake! Haydel’s Bakery is a true taste of the Big Easy, and from classic king cakes and doberge cakes to signature Cajun Kringles, “Cajunnolis,” and bite-size petite fours, their most legendary treats are shipping nationwide!
