I haven't ever seen beignets in pâtisseries or bakeries in Baltimore. There was/is a Louisiana themed restaurant in R House that had beignets. They were good. Pretty sure she was just using the Cafe du Monde mix. I stil appreciated it because I'm not frying up beignets in my own house.

I default to Pâtisserie Poupon. But other than the ones mentioned (which I have also heard good things about), during early COVID Le Comptoir du Vin was making pâtisseries. I had a delicious tarte Tropezienne there a couple of times.

I stopped at Croustille Cafe in Pikesville when I was at the dentist out there this week. It is kosher, and all I know is I really liked the vibe in there. Jazz, very bright, and butter aroma, smh. It was wonderful, many pastries on offer. I had an almond croissant and a baguette. They weren't bad, but I was bummed my croissant was pre-sliced and wasn't filled with frangipane but some other kind of pastry cream. They offered to put powdered sugar on top, which reminded me of beignets. Maybe they do beignets ? The baguette wasn't the best I have had but it is serviceable and it was still warm... I am a sucker for bread that is still warm from the oven.
