Cafe Beignet, Royal Street on Postcard

"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

Where to Eat the Best Beignets in New Orleans

"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."

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.

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!

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!

Walked in around 9am. Was able to find a table. Ordering is done at counter. Latte is freshly made, beignets were soft and delicious. Dough has a nice sour taste.

I had the bourbon croissant, an iced mocha and beingets. The beingets were delicious. The melted cheese on the bourbon croissant made the croissant hard, and the tuna just fell off the sandwich making a mess without a fork to eat it. The woman making the drinks was kind of rude and was throwing cups in the sink that were splashing liquid everywhere.

We where here on the morning of 28th of October, it was a Monday morning, the young lady (cashier). WAS the worst customer service person i have come across in 57 years!. VERY VERY RUDE and needs to be fired now, before they loss anymore customers. It's a great place for coffee and breakfast, and beignet. Beautiful place to sit and enjoy coffee if you after dealing with the cashier. Good coffee and food.

Came here for the beignets, stayed for the atmosphere. There are a number of Cafe Beignet locations throughout New Orleans, but this particular spot looks so cute! Here we had an order of the strawberry and chocolate covered beignets and they were delicious!! Definitely stop by here to relax and have some coffee. :)

This place to a place far away from the US. I felt like I was sipping on a delicious coffee somewhere in France. It’s sooo cute! The beignets were so good. My first time trying them and it did not disappoint. The girl that took my order was somewhat rude and unwelcoming but I was enjoying the vibe a little too much to allow that to bother me. Cute little spot for beignets!
