"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 so our beignets would be hot and perfect. The food was delicious—the étouffée omelet, red beans and rice, and of course the beignets were all excellent. But what truly set this place apart was the service. Everyone was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The gentleman who brought our food had the best energy and made the experience even more memorable. Great food, great vibes, incredible people."

"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 croissant was also delicious. I cannot wait to come back and visit. Waiting in line was no problem because of the music and good vibes here!"

"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."

"We visited Cafe Beignet on Bourbon Street primarily to see how their beignets stack up against Cafe Du Monde. While they looked very good, the main issue was that they were very doughy and not cooked through; the exterior was soft and lacked crispness. Overall, they were kind of a letdown. On a positive note, the coffee was good. The vibe inside the café is very cool, featuring live music, and the service was prompt. It's quite cozy and fun, but this specific experience with the food fell flat."

"Café Beignet offers a calmer and slightly quieter vibe compared to Café Du Monde. The service is attentive and fast, and the staff handle orders to-go very well, packaging the beignets so they stay hot, fresh, and un-messed. The beignets themselves are delicious, though a bit different from Café Du Monde. They’re lighter and fluffier, closer to a traditional donut texture, while still having a little chew. The portion size is generous, and they also offer variations like chocolate beignets, which adds a nice twist. That said, I personally prefer Café Du Monde’s beignets for their denser, chewier texture and the generous dusting of powdered sugar. Flavor-wise, Café Beignet is just as excellent — it’s really just a matter of texture and personal preference. Overall, Café Beignet is an excellent alternative to Café Du Monde, with great service, a slightly calmer atmosphere, and tasty beignets. If you like a lighter, fluffier beignet, this is a fantastic choice. For me, Café Du Monde still takes the top spot, but Café Beignet is a very close second."
