Morning Call Coffee Stand
5101 Canal Blvd, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“This City Park institution is legendary for beignets that arrive pillowy-soft and impossibly fresh, made with a sourdough recipe that creates those coveted air pockets inside. The Chicory coffee pairs beautifully with their pastries and light fare, and whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a slower breakfast, the welcoming family-friendly vibe keeps locals and visitors alike coming back for decades. Just remember to bring cash and arrive hungry—these aren't the touristy beignets you'll find elsewhere in the Quarter.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great place for beignets near city park! We got a fresh batch and it was light, fluffy, and crispy. The muffulettas were great too, but I didn’t expected them to be 3 mini ones. The interior is clean & staff were super nice! Love the decors. Will be back :)
My fiancé and I stopped by Morning Call Coffee Stand for breakfast and decided to try the beignets along with a croissant sandwich with egg, ham, and cheese. From the outside, the location isn’t what you’d expect — it’s in a strip mall — but once you walk inside, that…
Cash only! These are the best beignets in town! No joke. I talked to the manager and he said they use sourdough. The insides were full of pockets of beautiful bread. Outside was hot. They come out naked and you powder sugar them yourself. Hot chocolate is nothing special. …
