    Cafe Beignet is the perfect spot to visit for a sweet treat early in the morning. The beignets are made fresh to order, so you know they are going to be delicious.

    Enjoy them in the cafe or take them to go. Make sure to wear something you don't mind getting powdered sugar on. I can never manage to enjoy them and not get covered in a bit of powdered sugar.
