About
Cafe
Our coffee is sourced locally from roasters with over 30 years of experience roasting their own blends. Café Beignet is proud to continue the tradition of serving Chicory Coffee, first introduced by the French to New Orleans when it was still a colony of France. Chicory is a plant that is roasted through a similar process as coffee beans. Coffee and chicory are grounded separately and then combined, resulting in a most unique taste. New Orleanians have developed a love for its bolder flavor and we hope you will too!
Since 1990, Café Beignet has four locations in the French Quarter with another on the way. Each of our locations offers something unique to its visitors, including live jazz, cocktails, outdoor seating (with pet friendly areas), and classic New Orleans dishes to complement our beignets.
With an abundance of local flavors, you will find only the best in food and drinks at Café Beignet!

- TATyler AlexanderJan 6, 20261.0Miserable customer service from the girl working the coffee station on 1/6/26. Never seen a person have such a disrespectful disregard for basic communication to a customer. Save your money and go to Cafe Du Monde where competent workers are hired and know how to treat customers.
- KFKaren FernandezJan 4, 20263.0Check your to-go order before you leave! Ordered and paid for chocolate drizzle and pecan, didnt even open the bag til after they closed and saw that they just gave me regular. There was a moment where I mis-understand the cashier and she was rude after so not sure if that had anything to do with it.
- NSNikki StimpsonJan 3, 20265.0There's alot of conversation about the best beignets in New Orleans. This wasn't on the list. But we took a stroll one night and came across this place. The praline beignets were huge with a serving of 3. Soooooo delicious. Top 3 for sure in my book. We had them 2 days in a row!!
- HHHillaryJan 2, 20265.0Cafe Beignet on Bourbon Street was an absolute vibe. We went at night with live music playing and a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere—it felt special right away. The staff was phenomenal from start to finish. Shout out to the woman who took our order and gave great advice on timing so our beignets would be hot and perfect. The food was delicious—the étouffée omelet, red beans and rice, and of course the beignets were all excellent. But what truly set this place apart was the service. Everyone was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The gentleman who brought our food had the best energy and made the experience even more memorable. Great food, great vibes, incredible people.
