I don't know why y'all waste your precious time and hard earned money getting beignets anywhere else.
Stuffed or not, these are the best beignets I have ever had.
Period.
Argue witcha maw.
Fillings aside, the beignets themselves are literally the perfect texture and flavor....and they even reheat well!!
Naturally I had to try a a couple of flavors since I traveled all the way to the upper 9th for this divine culinary experience.
At the recommendation of one of the employees, I got this crab stuffed beignet with shrimp. I also got the Creole Queen, stuffed with crab meat, crawfish, and shrimp. I needed to balance the safety with a sweet so I also got the lemon filled beignet.
The Creole Queen was great, but it would have been even better without all of that sauce. I wanted to taste more of the seafood. The sauce was also ever so slightly salty, but still very good. I split that one with my best friend.
That crab stuffed beignet with shrimp was EVERYTHING!!!! Y'all I could eat that everyday. For real. The seafood was so sweet and tender and flavorful.... And you know ain't nothing like no seafood fresh from the Gulf. Unfathomably delicious.
The lemon beignet tasted like a combination of a lemon hand pie and a lemon meringue pie (minus the meringue topping). Very sweet, But very good. Definitely another one to share though.
Aside from good food, there was also good energy all up and through the place. It was bright and colorful, with hand painted accoutrements adorning practically every surface. They were also selling art from local artists, and I was able to bring back a beautiful piece to hang in my office. The staff were so nice and brought really good energy.
I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're ever in New Orleans, or even in the general vicinity, you have to eat here. You'd be doing yourself a great disservice not to.
