"Yes, there's always a line, and yes, it's verging on OD touristy—but only the most hardened cynic would skip what might be one of New Orleans' most famous locales. Shaped by more than a century of making (and mastering) a single item, the fresh, pillowy beignets are worth the hassle, though fortunately, the well-trained staff move at a brisk clip. Avoid in the morning when the beignet frenzy is most feverish." - Paul Oswell, Andrew Parks
