Fun Facts

This historic café has been a staple in New Orleans for over 160 years, offering its signature beignets and café au lait to locals and tourists alike.

The café only closes on Christmas Day and during the occasional hurricane, making it a constant presence in the French Quarter.

The café primarily serves beignets and coffee, sticking to its roots and maintaining a traditional experience.

These square-shaped French-style doughnuts are generously dusted with powdered sugar, making them a sweet treat any time of day.

The café is situated in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, surrounded by the vibrant culture and history of the city.

The addition of chicory to the coffee gives it a distinctive, slightly bitter flavor that complements the sweetness of the beignets.

Its unique blend of coffee and beignets has influenced many establishments, but none quite capture the original's charm and history.
