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!

Customer service is horrendous. No matter how kind or happy you are, you can tell they are just so unhappy of working at this beautiful place, specially the barista.

I don't like how ppl say this place is better than cafe du monde. I got the red beans and beignets and the beans were decent but the beignets were way to thick! Very heavy! Some were bigger than the others, some were light, some were heavy. Definitely not competing with the original Cafe Du Monde. The vibe was great tho. And the bartender in the island that night was awesome. Forgot my boys name but he's in the music scene as well! Won't be back.

The Andouille omelette was good but smaller than the restaurant on Decatur, the grits were very good! The so called french bread at both places tasted like it was frozen garlic bread from the grocery store, by far the worst bread in the French quarter you will ever have.

I waited a long time for my food and eventually had to ask for it. When it arrived it was very cold. Some of the baked goods look delicious but I would not recommend anything else as it was almost inedible. There are so many better places to eat!

A couple weeks ago on a Sunday it was very busy. The line was out the door & I understood why because the young lady who was the cashier & also the barista was only working alone. Even though Imani was under alot of pressure & dealing with rude customers & lazy coworkers she still gave me great service & made one of the best cappuccino’s I had since being in New Orleans & also was nice enough to give me great dinner recommendations. A little advice moving forward teamwork makes the dream work.
