First, order one at a time. You are likely not to be able to finish the full portion alone. The prices are beyond reasonable, but cash only. Those beignets that were fully cooked were fluffy and delicious. Those that weren't were a source of a short-lived disappointment. The cafe has a nice view of the park and is at the feet of a short walkway to a terrace overlooking the river, the park, and the St. Louis cathedral. You can purchase the beignet mix right at the table if the shops are closed at the time. The best part is friendly, beautiful people that serve you when you are there. Must visit!
