New Orleans Coffee and Doughnuts, Beignets and Coffee with Chckory

New Orleans Coffee and Doughnuts

I did not realize how well liked New Orleans style coffee and doughnuts are until this year when all my many beignet gifts sold a lot. I have the coffee stands on clocks, tiles, prints, cards. The coffee and doughnuts in art cards and more, see them below.

New Orleans Style Coffee and Doughnuts: Beignets

Cafe Du Monde Vintage Style by figstreetstudio

In New Orleans the coffee is blended with chicory, a ground root used to extend the coffee. Some say it makes the coffee taste stronger. Many coffee shops have come and gone in New Orleans but Café du Monde has stayed for well over 100 years. I wonder if Starbucks will last that long. The key is the special doughnuts. French style pastries called "Beignets". As an artist I celebrate my life growing up in New Orleans by painting and creating icons of my city. The coffee and doughnuts have become a part of that culture and part of my art. I have them on posters, cards, invitations, shirts and more.

Zuma Coffee, and Red Beans and Rice

Last January I passed through Marshall, NC and discovered a nice breakfast spot, Zuma Coffee. It is more than a coffee shop or cafe but a spot in town people stop in and chat, person to person. Not being all that familiar with the area I was amazed at the number of friendly people who gathered here. Today I met one person who was also here in January and hoping to see a few more before I head out to a local grocery. A friend asked I cook read beans and rice for lunch at her office. I will stop in the store get the provisions and cook lunch then head to Asheville for a short visit. It is amazing to me how people love New Orleans home cooking and often I am asked about it as I travel. I hope it comes off well. It is not often I am asked to cook in an office though so I thought that would be nice. Seems red beans and rice are a nice ice breaker when visiting new people. I have some red bean designs on gifts here http://www.cafepress.com/figstreetstudio/1668996
