I picked out two of each flavor that sounded interesting (including some cocktail flavored ones) and also got a bunch of tiny mini gummy bears (I can't resist those). I also got some 3D gummies which I had never seen before (but when you think about it, it makes sense so why do You not see them more?). I tried to be mindful of my bag weight but I didn't see any scales anywhere so it can add up quickly. The store isn't just candy, they also have fun/cute/silly/quirky gifts and gag items, toys, pins, apparel, etc. Really fun place to look around. I ended up spending around $30 on my gummies, some Japanese kit kats, and a little pin. I'm glad we stopped in but I wouldn't need to go every time I'm in the area.

The pecan brittle was delicious with the perfect crunch. The pistachio chocolate had a rich, great flavor, and the chocolate crisp was absolutely awesome.

Another plus is the location--it's just a short walk from Bourbon Street, making it an easy stop while exploring the French Quarter. Definitely worth checking out if you're in New Orleans.

Though they carry several brnads, their house brand of pralines is my favorite: they are more crystalized sugar and less creamy than some other brands which is what I like and how I make them when I do myself.

Our first day back out there, fortunately, the line wasn't too long so I got some plain beignets, a crab beignet and some sweet potato cookies. First thing I ate was the crab beignet. WOW! I'm not the biggest fan of crab but that thing with that sauce...!! Lived up to the hype. I love candied yams and sweet potato pie so I had to try those cookies. Also amazing! Huge. Texture was perfect. Dang!! Now, the beignets. Did I like them more than Cafe Du Monde's? Hands down! Si! Oui! Nai! YES!!!!!!!!!! From the first bite! Dang!!! I still have to try Cafe Beignet's beignets. But Loretta's is gonna be a tough act to follow. I will never come out there and not go to Loretta's. Will someday make a trip to the location at North Rampart Street. And the service...! The young man who took our order was so nice. There was a bit of a wait (just a few minutes. Totally worth it!) but there's seating right across from Loretta's stand. My next visit, I'm bringing some zip lock bags and/or Tupperware cos I'm bringing some Loretta's back home with me. Dang!

We went on Labor Day. We had to go after reading the reviews! It was pouring down rain, and we were…read morestanding under an inkling of an awning where we were continuing to get drenched. One of the customers suggested having the line routed through the inside of the covered market, which was an amazing idea. So I walked to the front of the line and asked the cashier if she would be able to reroute us so we wouldn't all get soaking wet. She was the only person working up front and taking orders, but she was pleasant and kind and said sure. After she finished taking the order she was working on, she came from around the counter and rerouted the line so we could all get out of the rain. After that, the line seemed to move a little quicker too. I'd say we waited about 30 minutes, maybe even 25. We knew what we wanted because we were able to see the menu while we were waiting, but there are no prices listed, so you are a little shocked when you get to the register. I believe one crab beignet was between $8 and $9. I ended up spending about $40 total on two orders of traditional beignets, one crab beignet, a sweet potato cookie, and one order of praline beignets. The traditional and the praline come with three each, but the crab only comes with one. I posted one of my receipts below. Can't seem to find the receipt from my larger order. Now let's get to the taste.... they were amazing! Yes, when you go, try the crab and try the praline. I probably would not buy the traditional beignets again because they are significantly smaller than the Café du Monde beignets, and the taste is not drastically different. So you're paying more and getting less for pretty much the same product. But I would absolutely go back for the crab, the praline, and some of the other items she has. My cousin also had the beignet burger, which she said was great. All in all, it was a great experience. I just wish the beignets were a little bigger and the prices were a little lower, but with the cost of everything going up, I do understand. There's not much of an ambiance because you're pretty much sitting in a covered market. Birds are flying around, tourists are walking through looking at the different kiosks, and there's a lot going on around you. But they made the beignets to order, brought them out really fast, and there was a guy walking around wiping the tables after each person got up because, of course, there was powdered sugar EVERYWHERE. Lol.

I thought I didn't like pralines, until I tried the ones from southern candy makers. The pralines are buttery. They melt in your mouth. The pecans are huge. The original creamy is a classic masterpiece, but the chocolate one is just as divine! What I love about the chocolate one is that the chocolate flavor isn't overpowering- there's a nice balance between the flavors from the chocolate, sugar, cream, and butter. They have other speciality flavors to choose from too! The tortue was my favorite. The caramel was smooth & I loved the chopped pecans at the bottom!! I tried both the white chocolate and milk chocolate, both of which were amazing, but I had a slight preference for the milk chocolate one! It's hard to just take a few bites without eating the whole thing lol it's addicting. Really appreciated the cool AC as soon as we walked in, since we were sweating from walking around the French quarters.
