Haydel’s King Cake | Traditional

In New Orleans, King Cake isn't just a desert—it's tradition. It’s debated, defended, and deeply personal. To celebrate Mardi Gras '26, we’re bringing three of New Orleans’ most iconic King Cakes to NYC for an exclusive two-day pop up at our Meatpacking Flagship.

Haydel’s is a third-generation, family-owned New Orleans landmark—a true institution since 1959. They’re best known (and loved) for crafting some of the best traditional King Cakes in town. Hand-braided with cinnamon and sugar, each King Cake is topped with fondant icing and finished in iconic purple, green, and gold.
