The ambiance is charming, and the fact that they offer a full bar and a complete menu sets it apart from Cafe du Monde, making it a great spot for brunch or a leisurely snack.The coffee, featuring the classic chicory blend, is standard but satisfying, pairing nicely with their beignets, which are on par with the best in the city.

Overall, Cafe Beignet provides a lovely atmosphere and tasty options, making it a worthy stop for anyone seeking New Orleans' famous beignets without the wait.

My friend ran inside for a takeout order of regular beignets while I sat in the car since we were headed to the airport. He took a while to get it his order. I would not recommend eating beignets in the car, it's not a good to-go snack. However, the beignets here are good! I grew up on cafe du monde but I'm pleased to know I can get good beignets from here too and there are so many locations to choose from.

I've never had a beignet before but let me say I'm hooked. Fried bread with powdered sugar is so simple but they do it great here at cafe Beignet. The counter employee's and the wait staff made this experience really special. The 3 piece band was playing local jazz and sent a lively mood throughout the place. Liked the design and atmosphere immediately upon entering. Very old school New Orleans. If you like cafés this is the stop for you. We all enjoyed our coffee and hot chocolate drinks. They have a fully stocked bar here as well if you want a place to get a drink. They have many specialty drinks to choose from. I'll be back to visit and enjoy all Cafe Beignet has to offer when I get back to visit New Orleans again.

Line was out the door so be prepared to wait. Beignet were very taste but what stole the show was the frozen drink. yes they were refreshing and delicious. After 1 I didn't care about the crowd. 2 had me feeling great.... Don't pass up very worth the stop

Pretty high ceiling, open space, cozy atmosphere. Very friendly and patient service and great food. Beinet is also very good. It was crispy on outside and soft in the inside. Cajun hashbrown also comes with omelet and garlic butter bread. Very filling comfort food. Automatically playing piano was super intriguing. Strongly recommend and will defenitely return.

Not worth it for little pieces of fish, fries and okra. Service was okay but wouldn't return

In the New Orleans welcome guide we got a coupon for a buy one get one free cafe au lait. It worked like a charm.It was really cold outside so it warned us up. They had a counter with additional cream and sugar you can add as it's really strong. It wasn't as smooth as Cafe Du Monde's but it was still good and perfect for the price.I loved that they had live music inside. He was playing the guitar and singing the whole time we were there.Even with everyone coming and going. The real walls kept us warm inside. It was nice to go inside, sit a little while and warm up on a cold December day.

These have to be the biggest and freshest beignets that I've had. I like these better than Cafe Du Monde. They come in orders of 3 but I shared with a neighbor as I wasn't going to be able to eat all of them.Delicious and priced right.

We wanted something simple and not too filling. Cafe Beignet is diagonally located from our hotel and walking distance. Staff: it gets busy and I'm sure it's hard to smile all day. Our cashier smiled after and was very helpful and very patient while I ordered. Price: reanably priced Food: wasn't able to take a pic of the Andouille sausage omelette my sis and mom shared but my mom loved how they toasted her bread. Nice and toasty. Grits was good. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich and I had the same w/o the bacon. It was good and cheesy. Ambiance: there's live music daily. The guitarist's voice is really good. All in all, I recommend this place if you want something quick. They do sell beignets but we opted to wait. Enjoy!

Cute little vibe! If you don't want to wait too long for a table to clear at Cafe du Monde down the street, this place is a great alternative.Beignets were warm, a bit more on the "doughy" side. I also had the Cafe Au Lait- good pairing to wash down the sugar from the beignets. Don't expect the coffee to be too strong, it's more of a pairing to cleanse the palate of the sugar from the Beignets.Reasonably priced, good customer service.
