800 Decatur St., New Orleans, LA 70116
First thing to know is this is “the spot” in New Orleans for beignets. This means it is packed on weekends (massive line on a Saturday). So I would recommend trying to go on a weekday or earlier in the day.
We luckily had the chance to go on a Thursday morning. When we arrived, we were immediately ushered in. There is an outside and inside with ton of European inspired tables (it was chilly so we ended up inside).
We ordered and were quickly enamored by our surroundings—people rushing in and out in seamless chaos. As our beignets arrived and we drank our cafe au laits, our senses were overwhelmed. Jazz filled our ears and sweet fluffy beignets saturated our tastebuds.
In the end, maybe the best part is the price. It was rather inexpensive. It was 10.15 for a beignet and 2 coffees.
I will definitely be going back the second I am back in New Orleans.
