People go CRAZY for the kingcakes. They were good, but the donuts were amazing. Made me consider changing my profession and moving out to Springfield for a job. My husband had the egg, sausage biscuit and said definitely homemade. Worth the drive

I recently discovered Navarre's Famous King Cakes in Springfield. I like king cakes but generally find the fruit filled ones too sweet and the plain cinnamon ones too dry. But I LOVE cream cheese. So I tried a cream cheese filled cake (no fruit filling). It was the best king cake I've ever eaten-moist dough and not too sweet! I only wish they had mini cakes because I wanted to eat the entire large cake at one time (vacuum packed, froze most). Navarre's has many flavors and I plan to try their plain cinnamon next since I've already broken my diet resolution. I also plan to return and try their donuts and pastries after king cake season. Everything looked and smelled yummy and owner and staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

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.

We arrived at Navarre's around 930am from Baton Rouge, and there were no king cakes available at the moment but the gentleman in the back had a few coming out, so we got the strawberry and cream cheese and it was DELICIOUS. We also had some glazed donuts and an apple fritter and they were DELICIOUS as well. The young lady at the register was very friendly and accommodating, everyone was very friendly. This is the best King Cake I've ever eaten. Keep up the amazing work.

Got the strawberry and Bavarian cream king cake and was disappointed to find they use the same sugary fruit filling used in jelly donuts. I had hoped a bakery in the heart of strawberry country would use real strawberries or strawberry jam in its king cake.

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....

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.Parking: They had plenty of parking. The shop is easy to get in and out.Kid-friendliness: The kids had a great time.
