"This is where visitors frequent if they want their beignets along with a hot breakfast in the French Quarter. Cafe Beignet has three locations, including one on Bourbon Street, and a menu of eggs, grits, waffles, and New Orleans staples including red beans and rice and etouffee." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Come to this French Quarter standby for the beignets (they’re slightly crispier and less doughy than others in town), and stay for the classic Cajun breakfast and lunch. Crawfish omelets, roast beef po-boys, and jambalaya are served on paper plates but easily rival their fancy restaurant counterparts when it comes to taste. There are two locations, one on Royal Street and a second on Bourbon Street. The latter is famous for daily, live jazz shows and the impromptu dance parties they incite."

This place has an incredible old-school New Orleans feel, with both indoor and outdoor seating that makes you want to sit back and soak it all in. It’s definitely a great spot to rest outside if you’re exploring the French Quarter. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem. The food and drinks were just as good—definitely a place that should be an easy favorite. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match. When I visited in early February, the woman at the register seemed really upset, which made for an uncomfortable experience. I know it wasn’t personal, but it definitely took away from the visit. I’d love to come back for the food and amazing vibe, but unless the service improves, I’d probably think twice.

Easily the best beignets I’ve ever had! They come out piping hot and covered in powdered sugar goodness. They also have their mix for sale to take home, so we got a box so we can bring a taste of New Orleans home with us!

Line was long as expected for the Eras tour weekend but it still went fast and efficiently. Loved the atmosphere. Beignets 9/10 Coffee 9/10 Vibe 10/10. Wish I had a chance to try more food but from what I saw it looked delicious.

Hands-down, I give this place a 10 out of 10 I tried different beignets as I was visiting New Orleans and this place knocked every other place out of the box. Service was friendly and informative. Food was fresh and hot. Atmosphere was beautiful with outside seating. they also sell their beignet mix and different other products. It is a must try while in New Orleans.

Great location to feel the NOLA vibe while enjoying fresh hot beignets. They also offer a menu of other breakfast items for those of more hearty breakfast needs. The lines can be long but we felt they moved reasonably. Liked it so much we went there twice in our last two days in NOLA and got beads from a passing second line!

We visited the one Royal street for a quick morning breakfast and coffee. We are vegetarian so our options are limited in what we can eat, so we had their veggie sandwich, croissants, beignets, a cappuccino and a mocha. The food was alright, the beignets are a little messy but delicious. The ambience is nice and they have both outdoor and street seating. They also sell spice blends and store merchandise. On our first visit to the cafe, there was a mass shooting down a couple blocks, which was traumatic and scary but luckily we were unharmed. On our next visit we wanted to grab a quick coffee. While there was a long queue, the people at the counter were quick in taking orders and making them ready to go.

It's in the center of bourbon street and the interior is pretty, so I chose it. I liked this place better than other places. It was good because the beignet size was bigger than Cafe du monde and there were more other drinks. I ordered mimosa, but I was a little embarrassed because they asked me to make it on my own.(They only gave me an orange juice) I couldn't eat it all because I didn't think it was good as expected. But it's worth hearing for a while.

My husband, family friends, and I were in for the Taylor Swift concert. We had to wait in line for a bit but it went pretty fast! The atmosphere was spot on! I love a cute spot! Our group had sandwiches and TS themed beignets! I recommend this spot for anyone looking for the real NOLA vibes!
