Chicory coffee and beignets go together like New Orleans and Café du Monde. This is one of my must-visit places each time I'm in New Orleans.

Crossing the Atchafalaya River
The E.J. "Lionel" Grizzaffi bridge crosses the Atchafalaya River, connecting Berwick and Morgan City, Louisiana.
The bridge to the north (left in the photos) is the Long-Allen Bridge. A railroad lift bridge sits to the south.

We likely would have never found Bon Creole Lunch Counter on our own. In fact, we had driven past the building a couple times earlier in the day without taking notice; and even when looking for it, missed it on the first pass. Bon Creole came by recommendation of a local: ~ "I make my own Gumbo. My gumbo is the best. I eat the gumbo at Bon Creole."
Inside, we found friendly staff and awesome food. The food was simple, fresh, served in paper and styrofoam, and amazingly delicious.
(It appears that many of my interior photos disappeared in a mid-roadtrip phone exchange. Click the image below for pics on Bon Creole's website.)

And to top off the amazing food, is decor that is distinctly Louisiana.
