This online bakery and pop-up offers a variety of decadent beignet options on the menu, including strawberry French toast, peach cobbler, key lime, and s’mores.

Marchet Sparks transferred ownership of her beloved Kirkwood brunch spot to Osiris Ballard and chef Anthony Sanders in 2021, the team behind Atlanta Breakfast Club and ABC Chicken and Waffles.

But look for new dishes, too, including seafood gumbo, a short rib burger, and batches of beignets dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled in honey.

For dessert, order a batch of four beignets made from croissant dough and a mini key lime pie.
