Best Desserts in New Orleans

Although essentially a bakery set against a rustic chic ambiance, Willa Jean extends its skills to include coffee, cocktails and brunch as well. Their amazing coffee program is sourced from collaboration with Chicago's Intelligentista Coffee. With a host of innovative tea and coffee-based cocktails, this trendy eatery is being touted as one of the more creative restaurants in New Orleans. While breakfast starts as early as 7a, brunch is served on weekends. Nibble on freshly made biscuits and jam, or for a more savory hankering, try the fried chicken. Lunch and dinner get interesting with the smoked salmon and soups, salads and hot plates among others. Finish off with some delectable desserts that range from sinfully delicious to simply comforting such as cookies and milk.

This French-market coffee stand, established in 1862, offers a menu of dark coffee with chicory, beignets, white or chocolate milk and freshly-squeezed orange juice. Cafe Du Monde is one of the most popular and the oldest of its kind in New Orleans. You may have to wait for a table in the busy morning hours owing to its famous breakfast menu. While the coffee is certainly good, most people come for the famous, fresh-from-the-fryer beignets. They are brought to your table in such a hurry that they are still hot when you take that first melt-in-your-mouth bite. Hop in at any time of the day (or night) to dig into delicious southern munchies and relish some of the most popular coffee in Louisiana!
