The perfect little spot to grab a drink and snacks in the middle of Frankenmuth and the only place open later at night. A little pricey but that's Frankenmuth for you, staff is incredibly kind and giving. The perfect ambiance and livens the place up...more. <3More

We had the beignets for breakfast on our recent trip to Frankenmuth. The morning was clear and beautiful and we sat on a nearby bench to eat our beignets. They were excellent! We highly recommend these sweet treats!

Stopped at there little coffee stand in the downtown area next to the fudge shop not the main location! Polite and friendly service that being said had there frozen mocha frappe the Carmel one I was hoping it would blow Starbucks out of the water...boy was I wrong! This was some shaved ice with some chocolate flavoring with Carmel drizzle and whip cream on top it was a far cry from a Starbucks mocha frappe or anyone of there frozen drinks! The girl gave me a sample of the gumbo it was alright till I had a stringy piece of the ocra like a bad green bean if I catch my drift terrible had to spit it out!More

Had the made to order Begnet at Norlins in Riverplace. My first time but not my last. Much more unique and nuanced than the dictionary descriptions would lead you to believe.

Stopped here for a light break for shopping. Beignets were just those from NO (Cafe Du Mont) and fresh and hot! Coffee was also excellent. Wish we had been there around lunchtime because the gumbo smelled great.

I visited Frankenmuth in mid July with my niece and one of our stops was the N'Orlins Café on S Main next to Zak and Mac's and facing the Welcome and visitors center. Terry, the owner, is charming, hot like his gumbo and sweet like...his donuts! We loved his welcome and our experience there. Too bad it's a 12 hour drive to get there! Thank you so much Terry!More

We ordered gumbo & beignets. I thought that the pairing seemed odd, but quickly found out different. Holy hot balls, Batman!! It had the deep, rich, smokey tones that any proper gumbo should have with enough peppery heat to make me sweat. The light powdery...beignets were the perfect food to offset the sassiness of the gumbo.More

This fine establishment in River Place Shops serves a wonderful pastry item called the bignet. You will love it, and it comes with a variety of toppings. Soup is also on their menu.

We stopped on Main Street to get a quick hot chocolate. It was delicious and the staff member was very engaging and friendly. I would highly recommend it along with the beignots.

To the owner, Terry, you didn’t know how much my daughter with hidden special needs loves to visit this town. You didn’t know that a couple days before she was crying over an encounter with a terrible waitress at the Bavarian inn. Yet, you were...so kind and blessed them for no reason at all when we stopped in your store yesterday, and restored her love of the city. We look forward to repaying you in the future ❤️ Our family loves the beignets- try them!More

We love beignets. The only thing I would change is to give each order one dipping sauce free and then charge after that. The amount needed is not that much and makes every beignet complete and perfect.
