"The Vintage wins the award for most creative beignets on this list. We’re talking matcha-flavored, bunny- and clover-shaped, Shark Week beignets, blueberry cheesecake ones, and more specials throughout the year. The standard ones and beignet bites shouldn't be overlooked either—you'll always get that bready light fry with just the right amount of powdered sugar (a lot). We also love the swanky cafe environment, which feels like a place where you could get some work done or just bring a friend or a low-key date for a sugar rush." - megan braden perry
