4 Best Coffee Shops near Earlham

“I have a true love for the coffee and beignets in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. My wife and I visit frequently to see family for the holidays. Having said that, there are not a lot of places that offer that sort of nostalgia when we get back to Iowa. Recently, my friend mentioned there was a really great coffee and beignet spot on the corner from where we were working. So, of course, we had to check it out! Boy, were we not disappointed!

Right away, we were greeted by the friendliest staff. They had four different flavors of beignets. Mind you, I’m an old soul and typically go for the classic powdered sugar. However, this time, we tried one of each. There was, of course, the classic powdered sugar, but they also had one with a lemon glaze, one with cinnamon sugar, and, last but not least, the dark horse: a spicy powdered sugar topped with chili powder and hot honey. They all turned out phenomenal.

Each had a softer texture than the beignets I am used to, almost melting in your mouth. Each flavor was fantastic in its own right, but what really surprised me was how much I liked the spicy one. Bring your friends, bring your family—this place is wonderful and has some of the best beignets I have ever had.“
