This forum makes me laugh every time the topic of Beignets comes up. I remember driving to Disney from Texas and picking N'awlins as our overnight point due to traffic. Stopped for breakfast at Cafe du Monde, because who doesn't? Stayed at POFQ and tried the beignets. SAD!!!!
They aren't bad, but they definitely aren't the same.
Sounds awful. Beignets are meant to be savored on their own. Kind of like a Krispy Kreme doughnut. You don't mess with them. No pumpkin spice, no ice cream, nothing, but a cup of coffee or glass of milk alongside.
Have never seen them 'sitting' there! They would definitely be no good if that were the case. They're always freshly made. They fry up very quickly, so don't understand the pp that said it took forever!!
We usually get them when at Disney just to get out 'fix', but being raised near NOLA, they are nothing like the ones at Cafe du Monde.
The difference is they make the dough fresh all day at Cafe du Monde, and at POFQ I've seen them take the squares out of a box - fresh or frozen, don't know, but not just made!!
Have eaten at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans many times, and it's true that the ones at Disneyland and POFQ aren't the same, but they're still really good! Definitely worth a try if in the area
