Customer Reviews

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!

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.

They have the absolute best pastries I have had in my life and I mean that! It?s amazing how they can put such decadence in such a simple dish I love Navarre?s for they are just great all the way around if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. Love yall ??????

My review is based on the Strawberry Cream Cheese King Cake. Although I?m typically a plain king cake type of gal, I keep coming back to this one. What I love about it is that it?s not overly sweet, and the cream cheese filling isn?t like icing; instead, it has a subtle yet pleasant saltiness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the strawberry filling and icing. If you don?t live nearby, I?d recommend calling ahead to reserve one, as there may not be many varieties available to choose from if you j

I had a slice from a friend and I really liked it so I wanted to purchase as a gift for someone, but the customer service was a letdown. Their kingCakes aren?t cheap so I expected a much friendlier atmosphere.I won?t be returning, but the king cakes are good.

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

I was charged over $16 for 2 Kolache?s and 2 Donuts?INSANE. The kolaches were cold and hard and extremely small. and the health department showed up for a surprise inspection as we were ordering and water was leaking from the ceiling and falling all over my fianc? at the register. The donuts were cute but tasted days old. i will not be wasting my money here ever again.

That king cake was so soft, delicious, and fresh. Omg. I enjoyed the quality of the dough and I bought it for a king cake party. It was top 3.

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 swe

I've passed by this bakery in Springfield many times and decided to try their King Cake today. It was delish. One of the best I've ever eaten. Not over powering with colored sugar. The dough was hands down the freshest and softest I've ever had and the strawberry cream cheese feeling was the bomb. Additionally, everyone was super friendly and made us feel very welcome and grateful for our patronage. I will definitely frequent this establishment more often!

The absolute best King Cake I?ve ever had. The cake is moist and has a ton of delicious filling. The ladies behind the counter were very nice as well.

Totally worth the drive for their amazing praline pecan king cake. The people who work here are friendly and welcoming.

Best king cakes around. They are pricy but delicious. They also have different sizes. They have breakfast with a drive-thru and HOT DONUTS sign out front that lights up when they have them hot and ready.

Bare bones, greatest donuts in the south! King cakes are not to be missed--try the Bavarian cream! Makes a great breakfast reasonably priced. In Springfield.

When are you open? 5 am on a Tuesday, nope. 6 am on Wednesday, nope. Maybe post times on the door like most small businesses, nope. This is frustrating!

THE Most Delicious King Cake was found HERE!! Blueberry/Cream cheese?

I pick up fresh pastries here often and a couple of king cakes every year. Best King Cake this side of town for sure. The blueberry cream cheese was delicious....

Best king cake ever Bought two

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. My husband and I have both been coming here since high school and we can't get enough. Every single time we come into town, this is a priority! Today, they changed everything for us and meeting the man, the myth, the legend, Mr.Navarre himself! Such a phenomenal and fantastic experience. We will be back very soon, as always. And thank you so much for your support! PS: Take it from a local. Best donuts, king cakes, and service I've ever had in my life! I

Amazing service and the best doughnuts I've had to date! A local business dedicated to providing a great experience for everyone. If you're looking for a sweet or savory breakfast this is your spot! Also during King Cake season they make the absolute best in my opinion! If you're running a little late for breakfast they are open for longer than other places I've been to so it's very forgiving lol Love this local gem

Country charm, nice people, awesome donuts. Listen, this isn't your corporate chain pastries, these are down home donuts. They aren't perfect cookie cutter donuts - put one in your mouth and you'll taste the difference. A must try if you're in town.

Super delicious and fresh king cakes, we had the blueberry cream cheese and oh my! It was so good. We'll definitely be going back to try the other flavors. It was well worth the 30 min drive from Madisonville.

I live in Georgia and was in Denham Springs for a family emergency last week, and my sister who lives there had ordered several King Cakes for her work. 2 were for home though~~~I have to say they were the B.E.S.T. King Cakes I've ever had!! The employees were VERY nice also,,,and I will definitely come back here on my next visit!!!!????

Literally the best king cake around!

We get the Strawberry Bavarian King Cake every year ??

The cinnamon rolls and honey bun are big!

I remember eating donuts at the Chevron and they were excellent! My daughter lives in Killian La. and I live in Dallas Tx. She said Navarre's has the best King Cakes and to prove that, she sent one to us HERE IN DALLAS and it was THE VERY BEST I've ever had! My husband is from Dallas my 10 year old son was born here and neither have ever had King Cake.....the loved it too! It was also a treat for my other two boys as they were too young to remember King Cakes when we moved her. I highly recommend them.....i

Delicious king cakes! One of best in the state. Definitely has made it on my Louisiana King Cake Trail list...

Best donuts I have ever eaten. I wake up every morning wanting some of their donuts. It's the only place that I have ever gotten hot fresh donuts everytime I go. Not to mention they have the best king cakes in the world. Any flavor you could possibly think of. A must stop and eat place.

Guaranteed the best doughnuts you'll ever eat and if you're lucky enough to get one their famous KING CAKES.... I advise buying two. Mr. Ernie and Jules have built the recipe for the best king cakes in all of the Baton Rouge and New Orleans area.

Come here from Baton Rouge from time to time to have a nice scenic drive and enjoy a great breakfast plate and donut for a reasonable price. Add in the friendly staff and you have a perfect breakfast getaway destination! Couldn't ask for anything more. Also don't forget a king cake when they're in season!

Always nice to whoever and amazing food

Bought an excellent Bavarian King Cake!!!

If I could give this place no stars I absolutely would. My 14 yr old daughter was slaved by the owner here. Two years later and they have yet to pay her ONE CENT! They claimed they waited until king cake season was over to pay in full. She worked for a month without one dollar. We have waited long enough and are now moving along to necessary steps to ensure she will be paid. Child labor laws should be followed in this establishment. They purposely hire young girls to work without pay and should be ashamed.

The king cakes are amazing! The staff is even better. I always order ahead but today I dropped in randomly, they still granted my no sugar request

Best king cake ever!!!

From Nola and this is by far the best Traditional King Cake I?ve had in the area and right up there with the best of them in the city.

I love their King Kakes. The blueberry filled cream cheez.. OM$G. Last year they only had 1 size and what a mistake... If there's only 1 size this year, then getting 2 ??

Best donuts and pasteries I have EVER tasted! I never pass through Springfield without stopping at Navarre's. If you happen to be lucky enough to taste their king cakes...you will be spoiled for LIFE!

My husband and I were not inpressed , we ordered the $ 4.99 breakfast it was in a hot plate deal everything was cold. The grits we're cold, the sausage and eggs were nasty. Now if you want to eat a good hot breakfast and made to order. Then go up turn on to LA 22 and go to TNT RESTURANT. Hot coffee and good delicious food.

Purchased from someone for a fundraiser and was very disappointed. It tasted liked a old dry loaf of French bread with some cheap icing from a can wiped over the top of it. Will never buy one from them again! Gag!

I've been eating there since before it was even called Navarre's Pastries. In the beginning, they prepared their doughnuts in the small kitchen area at the Cheveron next door. The quality has always stayed consistent and Jewels and his family have always been kind and welcoming. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Friendly and very good service. Hot coffee , good biscuits . lemon - poppy seed muffin may need little more lemon just touch , barely has hint (essence)of lemon flavor, but still really good!!

Navarres is the Bombdiggity! Best doughnuts and apple fritters ever. And the king cakes? Don't go nowhere else. Just don't. King cake so good you'll eat the baby too!

A great little place to fill your stomach and your heart with wonderful pastries.

We absolutely love this place. Great donuts, great biscuits and great service. Love our local businesses

Freaking best doughnuts and apple fritters I have ever had. Open at 4:30am get there early for the fresh baked stuff.

Best King Cakes around.

I love how easy it is to drive thru quickly,no matter how long the line is and get a delicious hot breakfast!!

Our family?s favorite king cake! Not only are their donuts and long cakes delicious, the customer service is amazing!

Absolutely horrible customer service especially for a first time customer. Drove from Bedico to stand inside for 30 minutes while they looked for a PLAIN king cake I ordered the day before. After 30 minutes of waiting for them to look for my king cake that they couldn?t find, I was told they aren?t selling anymore king cakes even if I ordered the day before.

An awesome place! They have the best kingcakes in the business! You havwe to try the blueberry cream cheese. Its overstuffed and delicous!!

How bout when you advertise your open, be open.

I am sorry to say that the Cream Cheese King Cake i purchased this afternoon is the worst cake I ever purchased. Wal Mart KC are looking better and better at this point. I am so disappointed.

I love it ???? here bring me back to my childhood when there was a time and day we walked into the gas station and the smell, would soon melt in my mouth as the Bavarian cream filling oozed at the side of my mouth tryin't catch it with my hand not't waist it to da'floor
