Here in Alabama, we appreciate the art of a delicious donut. Yet if you’re craving something truly special, you owe it to yourself to try an authentic beignet. These pastries are square pieces of sweet dough that are fried to perfection and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. And did we mention they go perfectly with coffee? Beignets are a specialty of New Orleans, but you can also find them right here in Alabama at your local Beignet Cafe. Here’s more on why you’ll want to visit this unbeatable cafe:
Please note, Beignet Cafe has permanently closed.
Beignet Cafe is a little slice of New Orleans paradise with two locations in Alabama: one in Huntsville and one in Madison.
The cafe opened in 2015 in hopes of providing delicious homemade breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare that combines New Orleans cooking with a southern twist.
Of course, trying one of the homemade beignets is an absolute must. Visitors agree that these are simply the best beignets you can find outside of New Orleans.
They're so good, in fact, that they're available for carry out due to popular demand. It's the perfect way to share them with friends and family...but who says you have to?!
So whether you're in need of a hearty meal or are looking to enjoy fine Alabama cooking with a twist, you'll be delighted to have visited the famous Beignet Cafe.
