  • True that there is powdered sugar everywhere but the chicory coffee is excellent... If you feel like being a tourist try it out. Plus there is tons of great shopping up by Big Bear Thu 02/23/2012 12:00 AM Joined Feb 2012 9 Posts 6 Restaurant Visits
  • Worth visiting just for the experience. Having never had beignets I didn't know what to expect. They ended up being mandazis with a lot of powdered sugar on top. Tasty, but I was hoping to taste something new. The taste also reminded me of sopapillas that aren't hollow. There was so much powdered sugar that when my 6 year old just happened to lose a tooth there (it fell out on the table) we couldnt find it and had to go digging. Lol I recommend not using their restroom facilities. Hold it if you can. by Satiate Me Sun 01/01/2012 12:00 AM Denton, tx Joined Jan 2012 3 Posts 5 Restaurant Visits

    Come at 4am and eat your beignets with the local musicians. Pro tip: dont breathe out of your nose whilst beigneting unless you want a powder sugar face.
