Absolutely WOW! My wife and I had the regular and praline beignets and they were outstanding! We'll definitely recommend to family and friends!

The crab beignet was very good, but for $8 I expected it to be a bit bigger.

If I could give more stars I would. The service and food at both locations was 100/10 in my Keith Lee voice. I would love to take them with me back home to Tampa.

The best beignets I've had in New Orleans. The praline beignets are so delicious! We had them at the French market and at the shop, both places were so good.

We came here specifically for the crab beignets on the recommendation of fellow foodie family members. Upon entering we noticed that this place was visited by both locals and adventurous tourists, such as my partner and I. You order at the counter and have the option of take-away or to stay and eat at one of the 10-12 tables you have located around the store. The 2-3 staff behind the counter taking orders were nice enough however they seemed a bit overwhlemed. They had trouble balancing taking each customer's order, keeping the tables clean and bringing out the orders from the kitchen; the one trash bin they had was overflowing with garbage and no one seemed to want to empty it. We ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our 2 crab beignets and a sweet potatoe pie. I had to speak to one of the staff to ask for a follow-up as they had forgotten about our order. To add insult to injury, the bottle of aioli sauce the server brought to our table to go with the crab beignets did not last more than 90 seconds before another server came and took it away as she needed it for another table. While the food was good, the wait time and the failed hospitality was just too much to overcome. Definitely do not come here if you are hungry and want to be served in a timely manner.

Cute little cafe feel with delicious variations of beignets in the form of sliders. We had the fried chicken beignets, crab beignets, seafood beignets and hamburger beignets which had hot sausage mixed in the meat. It was served with a remoulade sauce which really wasn't needed bc each beignet tasted amazing. Everything was delicious and they weren't stingy with the filling of each. We also had a Tiger Woods for drink which was the perfect mix of sweet tea and lemonade. The staff were so kind and helpful while we made our choices. Parking was minimal on the street however that's to be expected.

I recently had the most awesome experience taking my son to New Orleans for his 16th Birthday! And let me tell you, the beignets we had were out of this world! We indulged in the traditional ones, the crab-filled ones, and even the chicken beignets. Oh boy, they were absolutely delicious! We couldn't resist going back for seconds!But you know what made our trip even more special? The fantastic customer service we received elat Loretta’s. I mean, seriously, it was top-notch! The whole place had this incredible positive family vibe. It was like we were surrounded by love and warmth. It's safe to say that the spirit of Ms. Loretta, whoever she is, was truly present in her place.So, here's me, sending loads of love from Ohio! ❤️

Arrived at 4:25. the woman taking orders would take an order, and go back and talk to her coworkers for 5 minutes and then take another order. there were only 7 groups in front of me to order at 4:25, by 4:45, there were still 4 groups in front of me and a massive line behind me and she came out and said no more beignets. What a terrible way to run a business - slow playing the line and making people wait when you know they'll never be served. I won't be back.

Like many others in the comments, I wanted to try Loretta's compared to Café de Monde. I ordered the traditional and crab beignets. The traditional being compared to cafés were better in my opinion. Loretta's beignets are fluffy and light versus the cafés which are heavy and yeasty. I guess it all depends on a personal preference but I prefer lighter. The crab beignets were delicious and comes with a Sauce. I went back twice!
