The North Quarter space where Downtown Credo poured coffee served with a healthy dose of social activism will soon see a shop pouring coffee served with a not-so-healthy dose of deep-fried delights. Beignets & Brew, an expansionist Miramar Beach, FL-based chain specializing in the hot powdered-sugar-covered dough pillows, opens next month on the ground floor of The Nora at 885 N. Orange Avenue (map) serving traditional and specialty beignets like Cinna-Swirl, S'More and Cocoa-Nut Caramel along with a variety of sauces in such flavors as buttercream, blueberry and chocolate. Smoothies, power fizzies and, of course, a host of coffees will also be poured, including the beignet's beverage-of-choice, café au lait.
