The Cocoa Bean Bakery Cafe - Hammond

My brother and I sat down to have a coffee and baklava! The pastries are delicious! I love the quaint atmosphere! And the service is excellent!

The culinary delights that grace the shelves of this esteemed bakery are nothing short of a symphony for the senses. The cakes, masterpieces in their own right, boast a richness and flavor profile that is unparalleled, evoking a gastronomic experience akin to the finest patisseries in Paris. It is imperative for the uninitiated to inquire about the availability of sliced cakes – an indulgence that will indubitably leave an indelible mark upon one's palate. The pastries are a testament to the baker's prowess, marrying texture and taste in a harmonious union that is epitomized by the croissants – a triumph of buttery decadence and flaky perfection. The cookies, substantial in size yet modestly priced, are a delightful ode to classic baking. However, amidst this plethora of culinary riches, there lies room for refinement in the realm of customer experience. The introduction of price tags upon the trays or, alternatively, the erection of a signage akin to that employed by quintessential donut establishments, would greatly serve the budget-conscious gourmand. Such a thoughtful gesture would facilitate a seamless transaction, allowing patrons to fully immerse themselves in the sensory delights that await, unencumbered by pecuniary concerns. In conclusion, this humble food critic implores you to heed this missive and partake in the heavenly offerings of this unparalleled bakery, whilst also considering the aforementioned suggestion for the betterment of the patron experience.

OMG!!! I’ve been ordering my cakes from a bakery in Nola and saw the Death Valley cake they had made, so I thought I’d give them a try. Unbelievable! Got 2 cakes, state of Louisiana with tiger eye and Fleur de Lis, lemon with cake inside purple and yellow tiger stripes and football, red velvet with LSU vs Army. Not only were the cakes absolutely beautiful, the flavor and quality was impeccable. I usually have about 5 to 6 cakes made a year, Cocoa Bean is now my go to bakery!

My niece’s birthday cake was everything I envisioned and more! Thank you Cocoa Bean for a beautiful delicious cake!

I bought a strawberry shortcake for my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner, it was amazing! Everyone enjoyed it. I also purchased two dozen mini pastries, they made extra and gave them to me a no extra charge. Would absolutely recommend!
