Truly the mecca of beignets, this New Orleans landmark is a 24-hour cafe where beignets are always fresh and amazing---especially with a cafe au lait. You can even watch them make their beignets by peeking into their viewing window on the side of the kitchen. It's worth it.

With Cafe Du Monde so nearby it's hard to compete when it comes to beignets in New Orleans, but Morning Call does the trick and then some. They've even recently opened a cafe in City Park in the old casino building that is open late at night.
