Crema's Take
“If you want to experience New Orleans' beignet tradition without fighting the crowds at Café Du Monde, Café Beignet delivers pillowy-soft pastries and live jazz in a serene courtyard that feels like a secret escape from Bourbon Street's chaos. The chocolate-glazed beignets are genuinely excellent—consistently hot, fresh, and worth a trip on their own—though reviews suggest the Decatur Street location edges this one out slightly. Come late morning for the live music, settle in with strong chicory coffee, and prepare to get powdered sugar all over yourself in the best way possible.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Open late.

Cafe 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…
Live Jazz band in the late morning was lovely. Unfortunately, one of our orders was wrong. Still worth going to for the vibe alone but the Decatur st one had better beignets. The drinks were good.
These beignets were the best I’ve ever had!! I couldn’t believe I was able to eat my main meal before getting to them, and they were still so hot and fresh. We had the western omelette with potatoes instead of grits and the andouille sausage on the potatoes was great. The conti…
