Welcome to the neighborhood, Lou Lou's

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- It's a roughly six hour drive to New Orleans if you wake up and have a craving for beignets. But now, thanks to Lou Lou's Beignets, I only need to travel to the likes of the Alden Bridge Village Shopping Center to enjoy little pieces of powered sugar covered heaven.

As with all things delicious and tasty in this world, expect a line when you visit Lou Lou's. While you stand in line, though, you'll most likely spot someone you know sitting at a table digging in to their delectable treats. Or, you'll strike up a conversation with a new stranger, who is now family, because anyone who shares a love for quality coffee and beignets is family. Period.

The team at Lou Lou's is energetic, friendly and always on their toes. Step up to the counter and order off a menu that offers a variety of coffee options - both hot and iced - and then choose how you'd like your beignets. Prefer to dip them in a chocolate, caramel or strawberry sauce? Order the beignet dippers or bites. Love your beignets big and completely covered in powdered sugar? Go with the signature Louisiana-style order of three. Kids love the dippers because they are small and easy to eat.

Enjoy your fluffy beignet at a table inside or out, or if you're in a hurry, grab your beignets to go. No matter what you pick, you won't be disappointed. From start to finish, Lou Lou's is simple: simple menu, simple decor, and simply delicious. Don't forget, the beignet is "Louisiana's original donut," and now we can enjoy it right here in The Woodlands. Welcome to the neighborhood, Lou Lou's.
