One word: Beignets.

Need I say more??

Ok, yes, I will. Beignets in DC!  My boss mentioned Bayou Bakery during casual office conversation a few months ago, and the hypebeast kicked in again SMH ( I really have to work on that….)

But anyways, I went on a beignet run because I can’t be a foodie and not know what a beignet tastes like, right?

Well, to me they are worth the hype. They were made to order. Hot and beautifully powered.

I ate one right on the spot. And with the others I tried to wait until I got home but that didn’t really work out well. I will say they aren’t as good when they start to cool down. Next time I won’t do that.  I’ll just plan to go in, have some coffee and beignets, and sit.

So-

If you’re in the DC area, I’d say stop by Eastern Market (very short walk from Eastern Market metro, too) and visit Bayou Bakery for a quick local trip to Nawlins’.
