Brenda's French Soul Food Cafe

We got done with errands a full half hour before having to return our Zipcar today, so J suggested we grab a quick breakfast to go (and get me my morning coffee). 

What, oh what could be in this greasy paper bag?

YUMMINESS, that's what!!! We'd been to (and liked) Brenda's in the Tenderloin, but neither of us had had their crawfish beignets until today. Three softball-sized beignets and a large cafe au lait set us back about $10, but it was very much worth it. The beignets were cooked to order and given to me too hot to eat, and they were filled with a cheesy, slightly spicy mixture of sauce and crawfish. The dough was fluffy but with just a little chewiness, and about one and a half of one was more than enough breakfast for me. We haven't been to Brenda's in awhile, but our quick trip there has me eager to return for more.
