Cafe Beignet: The Best Place to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth in New Orleans
If you're looking for a place to indulge your sweet tooth while exploring the vibrant city of New Orleans, look no further than Cafe Beignet. With four locations throughout the French Quarter, Cafe Beignet is the go-to spot for locals and tourists alike who are craving delicious beignets.
What are beignets, you ask? They're a traditional pastry that originated in France and were brought over to Louisiana by French settlers. These deep-fried doughnuts are typically covered in powdered sugar and served hot and fresh. At Cafe Beignet, they take this classic treat to the next level with their own unique twist.
One of the things that sets Cafe Beignet apart from other beignet shops in New Orleans is their commitment to using only high-quality ingredients. They make their dough from scratch every day using flour, yeast, sugar, salt, eggs, milk and butter. This ensures that each beignet is fresh and delicious every time.
In addition to their classic powdered sugar beignets, Cafe Beignet also offers a variety of other flavors such as chocolate-filled or fruit-filled options. They even have savory options like crawfish or shrimp beignets for those who want something a little different.
But it's not just about the food at Cafe Beignet - it's also about the atmosphere. Each location has its own unique charm with outdoor seating areas perfect for people-watching while enjoying your pastry. The music playing inside adds an extra layer of ambiance with live jazz performances at some locations.
Cafe Beignet has been serving up these delectable treats since 1990 when they opened their first location on Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter. Since then they've expanded to three more locations including one on Bourbon Street which is open 24 hours a day!
But don't just take our word for it - Cafe Beignet has received numerous accolades over the years including being named "Best Place for Breakfast" by Gambit Weekly multiple times as well as being featured on Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate".
So whether you're looking for a quick snack or a leisurely breakfast spot with friends or family while visiting New Orleans- head over to one of Café Begnet’s four locations today!
