Cocoa Bean Bakery & Cafe

ivered the cake and handled the setup at the venue. Awesome owner and the cake was also very yummy!!!

and it tasted amazing everyone complimented us so much on it 10/10 would recommend

work with. The staff is also incredibly professional and it was easy to coordinate/plan even as an out-of-town bride. The cake looked and tasted amazing, and many of our guests said they even went for seconds!

Anthony a few months before our wedding to do a cake tasting and discuss style. We weren’t sure what we really wanted and he walked us through everything step by step and had so many incredible suggestions and ideas that really helped us find exactly what we wanted. The traditional wedding cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious. We were SO so so incredibly impressed and floored by the fun cake though!! We gave Chef Anthony six different tv shows/books that my husband and I are big fans of and he helped us figure out how to get them all on one cake without it just looking like a bunch of stuff thrown together. All we had were ideas and he took them and created something so unique and exactly what we didn’t even know we wanted. I loved and adored it so much and it came out exactly like we wanted and like we asked! It was easily one of my absolute favorite things about the wedding and we cannot recommend Chef Anthony enough!

cess was easy and hassle free ordering a cake. Thank you for everything!

ke with a fishing basket, worms, fishing poles! It was honestly INSANE! Not only were they beautiful to look at, but they tasted SO SO SO GOOD! I would recommend this bakery 100000x over!

utdo themselves!!! We were SO impressed! Not only did both cakes taste amazing, but they looked incredible!! And I'm not just talking about your typical sports themed ice chest grooms cake, I'm talking about Darth Vader! lol (Trust me, they can do it all!) They completely blew us and our guests away! Everyone kept taking pictures because of how incredible it was! Our wedding cake was absolutely gorgeous! Chef Anthony is extremely talented and couldn't be more down to earth! When we went to have our cake consultation, Chef Anthony went above and beyond to really take the time to listen and help design exactly what we wanted for our wedding! He is so professional and accommodating! Do yourself a favor and have Cocoa Bean Bakery make your wedding cakes! He will not disappoint! We can't thank him enough!!

ake the cake, BOY DID THEY DELIVER. Seriously, our guests cannot stop talking about how good the cakes were (we did both a wedding cake and a groom's cake - chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, made to look like a giant Reese's cup, everyone LOVED it). Anthony was a dream to work with, a total pro and incredibly creative. He treats his couples right!! Also, literally everything in their bakery is delicious so when you go in for consultations there's always a delicious treat to be had.

n seamless, they were able to give us everything we wanted including a fully customized 3 tier grooms cake and a beautiful 4 tiered wedding cake. They both tasted incredible and the wedding guest agreed, with barely any left over at the end of the night. From start to finish they were so kind, every time you come in to the bakery they will not let you leave without some free baked goodies. With the Cocoa Bean you will be in great hands. We will be life long customers now!

anted it. Anthony knew exactly how to design our cake to our wants and needs and the entire process was so easy for us! They have a great staff and great cakes.

s. Our wedding cake tasted absolutely delicious and turned out exactly how we envisioned!! Can’t recommend them enough!

f you are looking for a wedding cake or grooms cake for your big day, this is your place!!!

was BEAUTIFUL! Not only did they look great, they tasted amazing! So impressed with Cocoa Bean!

specifically requested plenty of filling for our cake and we received barely a taste of the raspberry. Other than that, everything was wonderful

the beginning of our correspondence (nine months prior), until the day of the event, Cocoa Bean was exceptionally professional. Chef Anthony was extremely easy to work with and was always responsive and detail oriented. Our wedding guests complimented on how moist and delicious the cakes were! So AMAZING!

rovided my bridal shower cake, my wedding cake, AND we had a dessert bar for our wedding and they provided mini pastries and fried hand pies! My guest are still talking about their desserts to this day. They are very reasonably priced and super talented! I would recommend them not only for your wedding, but ANY of your cake or dessert needs. Thank you guys so much for being a part of our big day!

from anywhere else besides here. The owner is so sweet!! He will make you feel so cared for and loved when you leave from your meeting with him if you are doing a wedding cake here! Their flavors are to die for! My mother in law insisted we find the best cake around because everyone always talks about whether the cake was good or bad at a wedding and boy did people talk! They said so many good things about our cakes, how beautiful they were but most of all how good they tasted! We had a total of 3 cakes and they were all almost gone! Recommend them 12/10!!

g festivity cakes with them and I have never once had anything less than perfection any time! The cake and decoration is always top notch. Not to mention there’s not much they CANT DO!! I will be a cocoa bean customer for life!

or us in such a classy way finding white sprinkles for us! The cake was sooo delicious and the service is just what you need when planning a wedding! Thank you Cocoa Bean for sharing in our wedding day and making our cake extraordinarily special!

nthony is great to meet with and lets you taste all the different flavor combos and gets an idea of what you want for your cake. Great experience!!

uch pride.

ng too! I had no doubts when choosing a bakery because no one can compare to how amazing the Cocoa Bean is! People look forward to the cake at weddings and mine did not disappoint.

er was different. They did the groom's cake as well. He wanted carrot cake-unbelievably good. Less than an hour away if you are from NOLA but so worth it. Take the time. His prices are so reasonable and his products so worth it.

this place provides quality taste and design is a tremendous understatement. Not only was this the best cake I've ever put in my mouth, but the architecture, structure, and overall design was simply phenomenal. As a groom who wanted a Mario Kart 64 cake (yeah, for real), my cake demands were high. I provided the cake bosses some Mario Kart action figure cake toppers for like 15 bucks off Amazon, and sent them a word document with a general structure idea for the cake. Not that I wanted to be picky, but I just didn't think they would have any idea how to make a Mario Kart race out of a cake. And I'll be the first to admit, the difficulty level on building my cake was about as high as I could imagine for a cake. What resulted, however, honestly cannot be described any other way than a true work of art. It's like if Vincent Van Gogh resurrected and spent years crafting a true masterpiece. I'm not kidding; it should be in a freaking museum. It was the greatest cake ever created. I secretly cringed when people started eating it because I want to preserve it and put it in some sort of Cake Hall of Fame. It was THAT awesome. The roads looked real, the cake toppers were placed perfectly, the design and background of the walls looked EXACTLY like the game, the top of the cake had Mario and Peach at the finish line, sprinkling some nerdy romance in there. They designed fondant shells, bananas, mushrooms... THE WORKS. The cake was complimented by any and all guest under the age of 30 who knew remotely what Mario Kart was. Everyone loved it. I was getting compliments from vendors, by-passers, janitors, and about 6 million other random people when it was inevitably posted on Facebook and Instagram by like half the guests at the wedding. I can't go without bragging on the actual Wedding Cake, too. We were lucky because it was set up to be the centerpiece of the wedding. When you walked into the main room, the cake was the first thing you saw. We put it behind this greenery hedgewall thing that my bride came up with, and the whole thing was honestly breath-taking. And just when you thought you couldn't like the cake any more, that's when we tasted it. We had fun with the layers, doing raspberry on one, chocolate on one, I think one was even fun-fetti. It didn't matter, because they were ALL DELICIOUS. Too tasty, actually; the floor was crumbling by the end of the night because of all the collective pounds people gained scarfing down this delectable treat all night from the moment it was cut. Cocoa Bean knew exactly what vibe my bride wanted for her cake - southern elegance, and they executed it to perfection. And they also created a difficult Mario Kart masterpiece for me that stole the show. The workers at Cocoa Bean and the ultimate cake boss were great to deal with throughout the process. They were open to ideas and creatively implanted their own. I'm struggling to come up with more words for how satisfied I was with our cakes. I fell in love with the cakes as though they were a second bride. But seriously, hire these people. They are the ABSOLUTE BEST.

picture that I had found on Pinterest of a cake with gold drips down the side and he nailed it. I was so nervous that is was going to turn out not how I wanted it. I've seen drip cakes done very terribly before. But it came out beautifully and the blue accent color on my cake matched the bridesmaid's dresses perfectly!

h just some description from us and he did an amazing job. The best part is that it tasted AMAZING. We had so many guests contacting us after to ask where the cakes were from. When we went for our cake tasting and first met Chef Anthony, we knew we wouldn't go anywhere else. His personality is contagious and we immediately knew he would make our wedding day perfect. I showed him a Pinterest photo of my wedding cake inspiration and he somehow made it look BETTER! I can't say enough about Cocoa Bean other than look no further. We'll be getting our cakes for every event from them from now on! Thanks SO much for making our wedding cake dreams come true. It couldn't have been more perfect.

shortcake and the groom's cake was red velvet. I don't know which was the best and everyone talked about how wonderful it was! Anthony and his staff were wonderful! I don't know why you'd go anywhere else!

I sent to him on their website. So amazed and happy how the cake turned out! We got tons of great comments on the cake! Highly recommend The Cocoa Bean always!

ke tasting and chose the flavor for each tier. We showed up to the most beautiful cake we’ve ever seen!!!! An amazing surprise! The grooms cake was a giant tiered king cake, a huge hit as well! Can’t thank them enough for the beautiful cakes !

ir prices are unbeatable as well. Everyone there is so nice and knowledgable and didn't mind that I called probably way too many times... The cakes turned out perfectly, down to every last detail. I had several special requests that they accommodated with ease. Everyone loved the cakes! I could not have asked for a better bakery.

limited on how much i could spend, but not The Cocoa Bean. The consultation/tasting was wonderful, he was open to our crazy request for the groom's cake. Him and his staff were so responsive whenever i had questions. They delivered on time and everything tasted amazing. I cant go to Hammond without stopping by the bakery any more, he really has a gift!

is professional opinion. Our wedding cake was so beautiful and delicious. Instead of a groom's cake, we opted to have a cheesecake bar. Anthony did such a good job - our guests are still talking about how unique it was. I highly recommend the Cocoa Bean Bakery! Everything was absolutely perfect!!

vision of our wedding cake to life. Also, he does an awesome job with the Groom's cakes as well. He is so creative! Also, they are very reasonable compared to other places we looked into. Thank you Cocoa Bean!

er got a chance to meet with Anthony personally, but he completely got my daughter's vision via email and executed it perfectly. Groom's cake, a standing penguin with top hat, was adorable. This is a smallish bakery and they get very busy, so be sure to get your booking and deposit in early. They are so worth it!!

k a baker all the way from Hammond when her wedding was far away, but now I completely understand. My wedding cake was phenomenal! I actually had 7 individual cakes for my wedding cakes that represented each year my husband and I had been together. My husband's grooms cake was a yeti cooler with a fish tail sticking out of it. Not only were all of my cakes delicious, but they were works of art. I would highly recommend the Cocoa Bean for all of your cake needs!

oo delicious. Anthony is so nice and personable - he made me feel at ease immediately. His cakes are seriously a work of art. If you're looking for a baker for any occasion, this is the place!

ted a cigar box as his grooms cake and everyone thought is was real! Perfect!

because it's my favorite cake pairing and everything I wanted was there. Every time we order a cake from Anthony I get the most compliments. It truly made my day when everything was perfect!
