With food truck and Louisiana roots, beignets find home in Manitou
Rocky Mountain Beignets, 724 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, is the place to get happy eating powder sugar-covered beignets.
Brandi and Billy Chism and their family are the owners. Hailing from Baton Rouge, La., the Chism family started the business in 2019 as a food truck in Woodland Park.
In June, they opened the small shop in Manitou Springs. In addition to making the sugary treats, they offer espresso drinks. There’s a shady patio where you can sip a latte and nosh hot beignets.
