Having been to both Cafe Beignet and Cafe Du Monde AND an "out of towner" I have to say Cafe Beignet definitely has better beignets ! It's also a much quieter atmosphere, we were there at 10:45 am.

Richard Revilla

Order then sit and they will bring it to you. The Beignets here are just as good or better than the Cafe du Monde but try both. Very nice music plays inside. Always a New Orleans must when I'm here.

Racky Ross

Skip Café du monde altogether and come here! Grab a few beignets and eat in the patio . It gets a bit crowded in the morning, but in the early afternoon is such a peaceful spot .

Ally Kazmucha

Cafe du Monde is great, we thought this place was better. If you like beignets that are more crunchy/well done, you’ll like du Monde. If you like them more doughy and soft, this place is for you.

Natalie Burns

Waaaaay better than Café du Monde . These beignets were bigger, fluffier and fresher. The setting - pictured - also much nicer.

Majed Alashari

Beignets here is way better & delicious then Cafe du Monde . Their coffee is strong. Long queue but is move quickly. Sitting on the garden is nice.

Ignaura Tejeda

I really enjoyed this place. It wasn't crowded at all. This was my first Beignet ever and I loved it. It was fluffy, crunchy and perfect. We had a great time.

Chloe Betzen

Such a cute place! Southern breakfast was really good. My mom loved her French toast (that doesn't happen often) we got beignets too. Bigger and lighter than Cafe du Mond .

Vivian E

Beignets had a more thick and greasy crust than cafe du monde . The courtyard and live music at night was a lovely ambiance much preferred to the debauchery of bourbon street.

Edykat

If you want to rest, relax and eat Beignets this is the best place to go,cafe is nice and clean and they serve one the best Beignets in NOLA

Kevin Skobac

Another one to try beside Cafe Du Monde . Bigger and doughier, and taste less fried. We liked them better.

Jo B

The line went down quickly, don't be put off. It's a little rough getting a seat as people grab tables before they've ordered. Coffee and beignets were AMAZING but the crawfish omelette disappointinG

Leigh Laguisma

Reduce icing mayhem by 1% by using the knife and fork to beignet’s methodology or the stay with the proved finger licking hands on experience.

Becca Stump

Beignets here are 100x better than cafe du monde . So yummy. Get the frozen cafe at lait here- it is the best coffee drink I've ever had! And I'm a New Yorker.

Elisa Reyes

This place is really cute but I think Cafe du Mond is better for beignets because they out more sugar. Although Cafe Beignet serves breakfast my breakfast sandwich on croissant was dripping grease

Ryan Ambs

Other than the beignets the food was pretty mediocre but it's really the perfect spot to sit outside in the shade, have a coffee and listen to music on royal street. Good alternative to cafe du monde

Yousuf Abedin

Its a must come place if you are in NOLA. They have the best coffee , which is perfect after a crazy night at bourbon .

Greg Stephenson

Great cafe with good vibe. Outdoor seating is available. Can get busy but worth a stop for an iced coffee and pastry

Adam Schrader

Had never had a beignet until then. There's something magical about having world-famous beignets at a small NOLA cafe in the rain listening to local jazz .

Jim Smith

As long as I get here by 8, it is one of my favorite places to have breakfast in NOLA. I like the beignets here the best and the staff is pretty nice.

Lynsey D

Best Beignet in town ! The staff is friendly and the Cafe Au Lait is legit. I'll pick this over Cafe Du Monde every time.

Marina

The crawfish omelette was good and yummy. Great was to start off a day.

Lucille Fisher

The best beignets I've had so far. And I've tried others including Cafe du Monde . Cafe Beignet's is the best.

Leigh Keaveney

Best beignets in New Orleans. This place trumps Du Monde. Cleaner and less crowded with exponentially better food and coffee .

Jia O.

These beignets were lighter and fluffier than Café du Monde 's, definitely a favorite

Connie Chen

Come for the muffuletta and beignets and stay for the atmosphere and jazz

Reagan Barbosa

The almond croissant and key lime pie tart are divine. I actually enjoyed them more than the beignets .

Sara

If you come to New Orleans you must try a beignet . Is also a quite and fresh place to listen to good jazz out of the Bourbon street's caotic night.

Jessica C.

Loved the beignets ! Loved my iced café au lait ! Wished it hadn't rained and I would have loved the outdoor seating area . Still loved the atmosphere.

Tobias Reiper

If you want some authentic beignet then head on over but it's busy in the morning but less so early afternoon typically.

Wassel M

Beignet is as good if not better than Cafe du Monde , can get really hard to find a seat , breakfast sandwich are not the best coffee is good

Kate Coltrin

Cute open door café ! Great atmosphere with awesome beignet 's. Perfect for an early morning.

Brandi Bruce

I like the food and the fact you can get alcohol . Not to mention they've got great live music

Anne Baker

Beautiful arched ceilings and old tile floors. Courtyard opens to the adjacent 8th District Police Station ...don't steal any condiments!

Alex Ravenel

Beignets were delicious. Line moved pretty quickly. Keep an eye open for a seat.

Chow Down Detroit

They have a full menu with breakfast and sandwiches . Including good vegetarian selections .

Ross Robertson

Pecan tart , and espresso will perk up any morning. Great patio seating in the heart of the French quarter.

Elizabeth McAlister

Excellent service , beignets are just as good, if not better than Cafe Du Monde . Definitely less crowded . And slightly better music . ;)

Shelita McBride

Delicious beignets and quick service . A cute cafe that has the feel of Paris

Andrew Montgomery

We got here early in the morning in late October. The beignets were good. The coffee was really bitter, too bitter. But the garden was nice.

Lily Derella

Charming spot with awesome beignets . Go here if you don't want to wait on the Cafe du Monde line !

Kimmie Ohh

Beignets are fluffy, pillowy and soft!

_

Beignet with a cafe au lait . Beignet was slightly undercooked and covered in so much powered sugar. Cafe du Monde is way better.

Leif E. Pedersen

This place is THE place in New Orleans to have Beignets . The espresso coffee is good with it. Do not leave town without visiting this place.

Gagan Singh

Best substitute for cafe monde. Nice garden setting when occasional street jazz bands playing.

Jon Chen

Quirky and cute blonde cashier made me feel welcome after asking some dumb questions about the area. Didn't get her name, but you'd know it if you talked to her

Dee LaFayette

The Beignet here are excellent !!!

Shannon Little

Skip the lines at Cafe Du Monde and come here instead. The beignets are fantastic and the coffee is smooth. Charming atmosphere.

Gus

The beignets are much better than Cafe du Monde ! Seriously!

Lateria Clemmons
