I would do evil things to get my mom's or Cafe du Monde's beniets at this point. Haven't had any in years. 12 - 15 of those and 2 cups of chicory coffee.... Pure bliss. Tried making them, but alas, as usual, no one can match what Mom cooked.

BTW, Can i be Archie?

Here's a good link for you. It's a nice size place just off the Twin Span going into Slidell. Or I can always buy a box of the Beignet mix at the local grocery and ship to you...

This is my first time on a Coffee thread so I was definitley excited to see people paying homage to Community. One of my buddies turned me on to the stuff. He grew up on it living in Baton Rouge. Said it got him and another guy through 7 months in Afghanistan. I was like a kid at Christmas when I found it in Winn Dixie in Jacksonville, FL. I was ordering it, but Community charges more for the shipping than for the coffee. I would usually just stock up when they had free shipping deals. You can't beat it for 6 bucks for a 1lb brick. I love the New Orleans Blend with Chicory. Haven't found a better store bought bag, even Starbucks.

Just left Shreveport after 5 years. I prefer "French Market" brand. An added bonus to "chicory" coffee is it takes a lot less of it (about half as much) to brew a full rich cup o' Joe. so the $5.59 price Mister Moo quoted in the original post is even less when compared to how much less I use to brew up a batch. FWIW
