Delicious beignets from Cafe du Monde
When I started asking around about things we should do during our one full day in New Orleans, it became clear that Cafe du Monde should be high on our list. We set out in the morning determined to get those delicious beignets!
I was a little discouraged when I saw the line of people out the door and down the street, but I remembered what my friend Kim told me: don’t fret when you see the line…it moves fast…those beignets are worth the wait.
Sure enough, the line did move quickly, and in about ten minutes we were sitting at a table anxiously awaiting those powdered sugar-covered pillows of deep-fried dough.
E. loved the beignets, of course, although they were a bit messy. As soon as she picked up her first beignet, she turned it upside down and powdered sugar was everywhere. Oh well. C’est la vie!

Yes- You’re into a white out when eating a beignets at Cafe du Monde. One of my most favorite eateries in the world. Can’t wait to visit every year when I go for Mardi Gras.
YUM. those look delicious!
So yummy. We usually try to make it three or four times in a weekend trip we love them so much! Some of my best NOLA pictures are of the kids covered in powdered sugar!
Looks like they were worth the wait!!
