Beignets in Volusia County, What?

I have been hearing all the CRAZE about the beignets at The Mermaid Cafe in New Smyrna Beach, why I slept on this I am not sure! Perhaps it’s because I have actually never even tried a beignet and thought it would be best to experience them in NOLA. (I know, crazy, I have never had beignets)Rumor had it, these beignets are just as delicious as the best of the best in NOLA!! We were doing a little staycation through http://www.nsbvacationhome.com and made a stop at The Mermaid Cafe part of our itinerary.

The Mermaid Cafe is situated to the right, once you cross over the drawbridge on Flagler Ave.  Love the decor, the bright beachy colors just suits NSB! The mermaid mural is a perfect photo opp. Now let’s get into the beignets, literally. We were indecisive about ordering regular sized beignets with dipping sauces or ordering a larger beignet stuffed with nutella, FINAL ANSWER… YES to all the above! I wish there was camera footage that caught the audio of when I bit into my first beignet! I dipped my first bite into nutella. The combo between the heat(fresh made to order), sweetness of the powdered sugar and flakiness of the beignets to the creaminess of the nutella, I think I may have just stumbled on 1 of my most favorite desserts.

If you are a connoisseur of beignets or you have been procrastinating as I had been…this is your sign to indulge in the delectable delight of freshly made beignets and treat yourself to a mouthwatering experience!

As if the delicious beignets aren’t enough of a reason to stop by The Mermaid Cafe, they also serve Dole Whip Mimosas, just take my money honey! Whether you are a local or just visiting, The Mermaid Cafe is definitely a spot you must entertain.

The Mermaid Cafe is located at 113 Flagler Ave, New Smyrna Beach, Fl. Open 7 days a week, 8-2pm. Breakfast menu is served from 8-2pm, lunch menu 11-2pm.
