Closely associated with New Orleans, a beignet (“ben-YAY”) is a donut made with choux, a French pastry dough also used to make éclairs and cream puffs. Luckily, I don’t have to travel that far to enjoy these fried and pillowy sweet treats! Café Jolie in Alameda and Powderface in Oakland both make delicious beignets!
Here are other places that make beignets in the Bay Area:
Angeline’s Louisiana Kitchen – Berkeley, California
Brenda’s Oakland – Oakland, California
Clementine’s – San Ramon, California
Frankie’s Pier 43 – San Francisco, California
NOLA – Palo Alto, California
Where do you get your beignets? Tell me in the comments!
I love them! There really isn’t a place nearby me but I did enjoy them while visiting New Orleans. Cafe Du Monde.
