Blues City Pastry Shop and Coffee Bar

Lat N35° 8' 30.6" | Lon W90° 3' 16.9" — We got here at about noon. It's a Saturday on June 7. A couple of years ago, I had these beignets that were browned just right so that the shell and the powdered sugar played off each other and begged for coffee. I always wanted to go back just to taste them again. That shop, across from the Peabody Center, seemed to have moved on. But a day later, we found the Blues City Pastry Shop and Cafe a few blocks over and we were not disappointed. They take about 20 minutes to make and the coffee is good so you can flip through the newspapers while waiting. People there are friendly and you can hop on a trolley when you're done.
