Schon seit 1862 bietet dieser original französische Kaffee-Marktstand schwarzen Kaffee und Cappuchino, Beignets (dt. eine Kuchenart), Milch, heiße Schokolade und frisch gepressten Orangensaft. Das Café ist 7 Tage die Woche 24 Stunden geöffnet, außer am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag, und ist in New Orleans einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Treffpunkte für Singles, Pärchen und Familien. Während der geschäftigsten Zeit am Morgen kann es vorkommen, dass man auf einen Tisch warten muss. Der Kaffee ist auf jeden Fall gut, aber die meisten Leute kommen wegen der Beignets, die frisch aus dem Backofen kommen. Sie werden in so großer Eile zu den Tischen gebracht, daß sie noch warm sind und der erste Bissen buchstäblich auf der Zunge schmilzt.
