I guess it’s a custom that when you go to NOLA, you have to try the beignets. You can find beignets anywhere but they say you have to try it at Cafe Du Monde. Beignets are pretty much a square looking piece of dough that is fried. Additionally, they are covered or should I say smothered with powdered sugar. Look, I can admit, the beignets were okay but it was a nice, tasty snack. I find it to be kind of doughy but what really made it come together was the powdered sugar. I know some from Louisiana may not like what I have to say next but I’m going to say it anyway. Lol. I find it to be similar to a zeppoli, just squared. Again, I think the beignets are okay but you should try them for the experience but it’s not a place where you’re like hurrying to get to because of how good it is. They do have it where you can either sit down or order it to go. I would prefer to grab it and go and then sit right on the steps towards Jackson Square as the scenery is nice. Oh, this place is also 24 hours and for three beignets it’s about $4, which is quite reasonable and they only accept cash.
