Morning Call Coffee Stand

"Forget the more known places in the quarter and find your way to Midcity for these beignets. They are light and fluffy and delicious. They also give you a shaker of powdered sugar, so you can decide how mich you want. And the service is great. It's also a beautiful place."

"A beautiful cafe with the best beignets in the city! I tried beignets from all the top-rated spots in the city and Morning Call is the best BY FAR. Beignets came out hot & fresh which is always amazing, but it's New Orleans; this is par for the course in any self-respecting cafe serving beignets. The difference here is the airy lightness. I definitely could have eaten all 3 by myself and thought about it for days afterwards. Like many others noted, the icing sugar is on the table so you can control how much you want to add, which was appreciated. The service was friendly and fast, and their decaf coffee with milk was fantastic. I've been trying to cut down my caffeine consumption and it isn't easy to find a good decaf. I can usually tell the difference, but this one was great. Location-wise, it's a little bit outside of the city centre, but a great excuse for a streetcar ride. Go already!"

"CASH ONLY! The best beignets I've ever had!!!. Goes great with a hot chocolate. You do powder your own beignets, which isn't a problem because it allows you to customize how sugary you would like your pastries. The mini mafulletas are okay. Their service is a lot better than cafe du monde. This place packs a lot of history. Their gumbo is a must try!!!. It was delicious, hot, and it leaves you wanting more."

"Great place to check out. Established in 1870’s so has great history to it. The staff was wonderful and helpful, made us feel welcomed. The beignets , coffee, muffelata, jambalaya all were delicious and affordable! ITS CASH ONLY! There is an atm on the premise and it’s a 99cent fee which is pretty good! The is outdoor and indoor seating."

"This place is cute. The square donuts are delicious and delightful. We came in to stop by before taking off back to Lafayette and in glad we did. This place is a sight to see. It's clean and bright. The staff is very nice and made recommendations to us. We felt welcomed. Especially when they brought us all water while we waited for our food. Such kindness and great service is hard to find. They nailed it here."
