Navarre's Pastries

Got to experience a Strawberry Cream Cheese King Cake for the first time. Came for a Lemon King Cake but they were already sold out. I have only had a Rouses Market King Cake before so from that to this one was no comparison in how fresh it was. 10/10 and got even better after day two as we stuck it in the fridge to stiffing up the strawberries/cream cheese filling and I would say that’s the trick!

Went to buy a king cake from here today and let’s just say it’s heavenly. Especially when you heat it up for about 20 seconds. Cream cheese filled king cake is the bomb. Very moist, and the icing was superb. I also purchased pickled quail eggs and those were pretty scrumptious as well. The staff was very friendly and it was a clean establishment. Loved the vibe in there. Will be back.

ABSOLUTELY worth getting there when the door opens to get 2 King Cakes. 1 Bavarian Cream and 1 Strawberry Cream Cheese. Simply amazing, simply THE BEST. Getting them again in the coming weeks.

Best King Cake! We drive 30 minutes to get it! Great cinnamon rolls too!

I had recently conceded to the fact that I just didn't like King Cake any longer. Being born and raised in Louisiana, that is almost a sin! Well thank goodness Navarre's has saved this almost sinner, lol. This was THE BEST KING CAKE I have EVER had!! We got the Strawberry Cream Cheese and man oh man!!! The dough was moist and buttery. No dry leathery stuff going on here!! The filling was nicely proportioned and spread throughout the layers and the icing was creamy cream cheesy with the perfect amount of sweetness. We will be going back to try the Blueberry Cream Cheese and the Bavarian Cream. They are rolling these out all day during the season and we are hooked!!

i love this place! everyone is friendly and the king cakes are to die for. they’re not dry and the icing is so good. my only complaint is how pricey a plain king is now. a plain king cake used to be $20 last year and they are now $24. at first i wasn’t too upset about the increase in price, but since my king cake i received this year was a little drier than usual, i’m a little bit disappointed. i’m hoping my next one will be better and that it was just a bad batch though.

I have a local parish Facebook group. have been posting about king cakes this year and sharing my enthusiasm for the best king cakes from Livingston to New Orleans. Many people in my group recommended Navarre's. This is just a fun thing to do so I recommend it. I have never done the comparisons before but I do admit that I am having a great time with this. I have to give mad props to the ones that recommended Navarre's Pastries in Springfield. I finally found the time to take the drive. It was a beautiful day so the kids and I took a drive. Google Maps took us exactly where we needed to go with no problem. We arrived mid morning. Navarre's had a fun atmosphere as the taxidermy animals on the wall were dressed for Mardi Gras. The kids got a kick out of that. The place was clean and customers were in and out quickly. They had a bunch of busy employees which is great to see. I didn't have to wait long before I was met with a happy employee that was so great at answering my 101 questions. I could tell that he loves his job and was proud to be there. That is so very good to see also. Mad props to him. I decided to go with one of my favorite flavors but it is also a customer favorite flavor at the store, strawberry cream cheese. By the way, he told me that we are lucky they even had any because they are almost always sold out. I do believe you can call in and they take your order over the phone to guarantee one but call the store to double check that. Once I picked it out, we also got a couple of donuts and this very delish Apple cream cheese turnover that was dusted in cinnamon and sugar. By the way, that turnover was absolutely wonderful and I will totally drive out there again just for those! After dinner tonight, I broke open the box in anticipation and dove right in. Ya'll were right!! This has to be the most fresh king cake I ever had! The cream cheese was not too sweet but the sweetness of the strawberry filling counteracts it in such a way that is perfect. Not too sweet! I never liked an overly sweet king cake. The secret to me is in the dough! You have to have the right amount of dough, filling, and glaze to perfect a king cake in my opinion. The dough was so soft and fresh! Navarre's is top notch! Thank you so much for a great cake! We are truly enjoying ours! I would be doing them an injustice if I didn't give them a shout out. You will be seeing us again soon! Y'all go take the drive and give them a try.

Born and raised in Louisiana and I never liked King Cakes until I tried the strawberry cream cheese one from here! I believe they must use donut dough for their cakes because they are absolutely delicious! Not the hard bread texture like most others! We get one every year! I wish they sold them around Christmas time too.
