What I Enjoyed About Cafe Beignet New Orleans

  • The service is super in this café.
  • Even though there was literally a line out the door when we arrived to get in and order (it’s counter service only), the staff was super friendly and really cheerful.
  • The café gets super packed in the mornings. They also serve lunch and beignets all day. So you can come at a calmer time during the day.
  • And the outdoor seating area is worth the extra wait.
