| A good friend of mine - originally from LA - just had a baby and I wanted to surprise her with beignets. Are there any decent ones locally? Has anyone tried Bayou Bakery in VA - worth the drive from DC? |

| I wonder if Acadiana sells theirs to-go. Because they are fantastic! Bayou Bakery is good too. |

It's Louisiana Kitchen , in bethesda, MD. They used to be called Louisiana Express. They are tasty. |

| Third vote for Bayou Bakery. Nice atmosphere, too, if you feel like hanging out. |

| I was introduced to Bayou Bakery by a New Orleans transplant. |

| The chef at BB is a New Orleans native. But I don't think beignets travel well. |

Thanks! Think if I drive them right over they'd be OK? |

agree with PP that beignets don't travel well. even if you drive them right over, they're still going to get cold before she has a chance to eat them, and then they'll just be cold fried dough.
if you just want to get her something to remind her of home, order her a king cake and have it sent. |

| Not the OP, but thanks for the rec for Bayou Bakery, I'm going to head over there this weekend. I've been craving a good gumbo. Would you all say that the rest of the food there is good too? |

I'm pretty sure if you're up for making them yourself, you can order the mix for beignets from Café du Monde.
DH is from just outside of NOLA and loves some beignets. We might have to head to BB one weekend to try a couple things on the menu. Everything sounds delicious! |
