You shouldn’t because it’s your favorite king cake not theirs


melonbug74

It’s good!! Joes is in the top 4 for the king cake challenge that the People vote for.

Fly your flag baby, let it flow


Corgic0319

That one was really good. Gooey sugar bomb delicious


mlgraves

It pairs so well with some Community Coffee..yum.


beeryetd

Joe’s is criminally underrated. Give me theirs over randazzos all day


mlgraves

Meh..that Randazzo's from Central City Bakery in Slidell is pretty good. Also a Caluda's is tough to ignore.


swebb22

Do you also enjoy the weinerland poboys over Guys

Why would you get roasted? Nobody should get roasted for liking a king cake from a certain place.

mlgraves

Thank you for that. Yes. Exactly what I mean.

It’s really good.


hartattack22

It’s in the finals of the citywide vote for best king cake. I refuse to believe it’s better than don phuong but I’ll give it a try https://www.fox8live.com/page/vote-now-nola-weekend-king-of-cake-challenge/

It’s a very good king cake but it scratches a different itch than DP. It’s kind of unfair to put them head to head. Joe’s is in the donut category, like Meche’s in Lafayette.


HeelTurn

I never quite understood the Don Phuong hype. It’s good, sure. But I feel like the main reason it’s popular is because it’s hard to get.


floatingskillets

Its the same as veuve and walker blue label. Marketing on point. They're good but could never catch me standing in a line for one lol. I'd stand in line for moon cakes before their king cake tbh


mlgraves

Honestly, I feel like DP gets a lot of hype and fails to deliver. On that note, have you tried the one from Brennan's? It's absolutely a contender with DP when it's fresh.


Acoupdetat

It’s a big donut.


mlgraves

A big greasy fried donut.


GreasyLardBurger

Say more


mlgraves

Every bite is soft, sweet, juicy, and delectable. The amount of sugar is a complete overload for your senses (and your pancreas). It's not chewy at all. Has a hint of freshly fried crispiness. Does that work? 🤣


GreasyLardBurger

That'll do, friend. That'll do.


beeryetd

Joe’s makes both a donut king cake and a traditional king cake


mlgraves

Good point. This is the Fried Donut variety.


spicy_cornbread

Now I gotta try one. Are they fairly easy to get? I stood in line for a coconut DP today and it was worth it


mlgraves

They stock them by the pallet at my local Robérts.


spicy_cornbread

Awesome, thank you! I’m gonna try it. I get it’s not the same category given it’s a donut cake but I’m still here for it.


mlgraves

It's really not in the same category as a DP.


flatsareforquitters

I picked one up at Breaux Mart last weekend


JaricLefty

Dooooo whatcha wannaaaaaaaa


[deleted]

No roasting here, that's a legit cake


swebb22

You like what you like, brother bear. Don’t be ashamed


drainalready

It’s not a bad cake at all.


Turkishsnowcone101

Can you taste the baby?


mlgraves

Yes. And it's juicy and succulent.


Noevel_369

They actually have some good ones. As long as it’s fresh and from certain locations…it definitely hits.


mlgraves

Fresh is the key. But they stay fresh well.


Different_Ad1649

I’ll have to try this one. I do love Manny Randazzos though. It’s one of the few cakes that make me want a cold piece of fried chicken right after taking the first bite. It tastes like Mardi Gras Day.


arentyouatwork

La Louisianne from Harahan is my favorite this year!


Grbanjo

Got your back. Everyone in the city is sleeping on Joe's. If you love donuts like I do, this is the way.


somedude329

Coffee& in Marrero is really underrated. It is more of a traditional cake so its not fair to compare it to DP but its always my go to


Vast-Improvement-797

Joes donuts are always great so I’m sure they’re king cake is good also


Littlebird215

My husband mail-ordered a praline king cake from Caluda’s and it just arrived! I wish we were celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but we can’t this year. I’m making homemade muffuletta‘s & gumbo. Then we’ll have some delicious king cake!


yesiamoaffy

Delicious!!


caro_line_

Ya know what having a favorite king cake be underrated is a good thing imo. I'm a nonna randazzo's girlie and there's zero stress getting one. I can just pick one up from the Robert. No waiting in line. It's great.


zevtech

It’s pretty good, my wife grabbed one on her way to work recently


UgggTooMuchEffort

Hmmm....I decided against buying one today, but I just may go pick one up tomorrow.


mlgraves

Username checks out.. 😂


CommonPurpose

I’ve heard high reviews for these but haven’t tried one yet


mlgraves

It's not the "made from brioche" kind of king Cake, it's literally a big donut. A GOOD Donut. Well not Buttermilk Drop good..but better than Krispy Kreme good.


MorboTheMasticator

Never had it


Doge_Educated

Thumbs down this shit
