Hot Bennys
300 Canal St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Hot Benny's stakes its claim as a parade-day pit stop on Tchoupitoulas Street, where the Mardi Gras chaos swirls around you and a frozen coffee hits different when you need it most. Their cold brew drinks earn genuine praise for bold, icy refreshment, and while the beignets won't match Café Du Monde's legendary status, they deliver crispy-fluffy satisfaction without the tourist mob. It's the kind of place where location and convenience matter as much as the coffee itself—perfect for grabbing something quick and solid when you're caught in the New Orleans whirlwind.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Hot Benny’s on Canal Street is a gem for a quick NOLA fix! Their frozen coffee was a total game-changer—icy, bold, and woke me right up. The cappuccino was smooth and perfectly frothy, a great morning kick. The beignets? Soft, sugary clouds that melt in your mouth, though I…
Had a craving for beignets after first experiencing them at Cafe Du Monde. Obviously coming here after there, they're not on the same tier, but they were pretty good, crispy and fluffy and would eat again. Prices are higher than other places for the size and you can only pay on…
