Cafe Beignet, New Orleans
However, before diving deep into beignets only, I found Cafe Beignet which also offered a full menu for breakfast.
I started my kids off with breakfast first. This way I knew they were fed.

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.
