The 12 Best Beignets In New Orleans 2024
"The beignets from Cafe du Monde are truly the prototype. This spot might not have invented them, but they definitely popularized them. They’re the beignets that make French Quarter field trips special, and the ones we show off to friends whenever they’re in town. You can always count on them having the perfect lightly golden color, chewy texture, scalding temperature, and powder sugar-drowned sweetness every time. And they taste even better dipped in a chicory cafe au lait or hot chocolate. Cafe Du Monde has a ton of locations, but we prefer the City Park spot because it’s quick, there’s parking, and you can still people-watch and enjoy street musicians. " - megan braden perry
