I'd been seeing the sign above a shop in neighboring Peachtree City, so last Saturday morning, I packed up a journal and some pens (I've been in a writing mood) and headed to Beignets & Brew, which promises "New Orleans–style beignets."
I tried the Turtle Beignets, which were covered in caramel, cream cheese, chocolate, and pecans. While these were nothing like the beignets I remember eating at Café du Monde in New Orleans on my honeymoon, they were nonetheless quite decadent! (I recommend skipping a meal if you decide to order these.)
And for sipping, I ordered the Sugar Cookie Chai, which was delicious even though it made me think of a Christmas treat (and this was still March). The beignets were something I would order again if I had a girlfriend along to share them, and the chai was something I would definitely order by myself. Have you heard of Beignets & Brew? If so, any favorites?
Whoa, that "turtle beignet" DOES look decadent! I think it might have all my calorie requirements for the whole day!
ReplyDeleteIt was my “meal” for the whole day!!!
DeleteI've never heard of Beignets & Brew. The turtle beignet looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of them until now but this looks like a fun place to visit.
