My guests often Ask Arthur about coffee and beignets. It’s a matter of personal opinion, of course, and I won’t mention its better known rival — the one with the French name on Jackson Square where all the tourists go and sometimes wait, and wait, and wait for a table because of the crowds — but hands down the Morning Call coffee stand does the best coffee and beignets in New Orleans, which means they’re the best in the entire world. Morning Call has been in business since 1870, owned by the same family for all those years. They have a special and secret way of crafting their beignets, which I’m happy to share on request. And they leave it up to you to control how much powdered sugar to sprinkle or dump on top. For these and many more reasons, Morning Call is the locals’ favorite. So let’s go!
