Their cafe location can be found at 2101 N. Rampart St., New Orleans, LA 70116 and their other location is inside the historic French Market.
Featuring desserts like fudge, cookies, macaroons, and, of course, pralines and beignets, you’ll have a tough time deciding on what to get.
From crab beignets to seafood platters, you’ll be amazed by their unique menu.
And they made a variety of flavors, including peanut butter, rum, chocolate, coconut, and the ever-popular original.
