    Having been to both Cafe Beignet and Cafe Du Monde AND an "out of towner" I have to say Cafe Beignet definitely has better beignets! It's also a much quieter atmosphere, we were there at 10:45 am.

    Order then sit and they will bring it to you. The Beignets here are just as good or better than the Cafe du Monde but try both. Very nice music plays inside. Always a New Orleans must when I'm here.

    Skip Café du monde altogether and come here! Grab a few beignets and eat in the patio. It gets a bit crowded in the morning, but in the early afternoon is such a peaceful spot.

    Waaaaay better than Café du Monde. These beignets were bigger, fluffier and fresher. The setting - pictured - also much nicer.

    Cafe du Monde is great, we thought this place was better. If you like beignets that are more crunchy/well done, you’ll like du Monde. If you like them more doughy and soft, this place is for you.

    I really enjoyed this place. It wasn't crowded at all. This was my first Beignet ever and I loved it. It was fluffy, crunchy and perfect. We had a great time.

    Such a cute place! Southern breakfast was really good. My mom loved her French toast (that doesn't happen often) we got beignets too. Bigger and lighter than Cafe du Mond.

    Beignets here is way better & delicious then Cafe du Monde. Their coffee is strong. Long queue but is move quickly. Sitting on the garden is nice.

    Beignets had a more thick and greasy crust than cafe du monde. The courtyard and live music at night was a lovely ambiance much preferred to the debauchery of bourbon street.

    Another one to try beside Cafe Du Monde. Bigger and doughier, and taste less fried. We liked them better.

    The line went down quickly, don't be put off. It's a little rough getting a seat as people grab tables before they've ordered. Coffee and beignets were AMAZING but the crawfish omelette disappointinG

    This place is really cute but I think Cafe du Mond is better for beignets because they out more sugar. Although Cafe Beignet serves breakfast my breakfast sandwich on croissant was dripping grease

    Other than the beignets the food was pretty mediocre but it's really the perfect spot to sit outside in the shade, have a coffee and listen to music on royal street. Good alternative to cafe du monde

    Beignets here are 100x better than cafe du monde. So yummy. Get the frozen cafe at lait here- it is the best coffee drink I've ever had! And I'm a New Yorker.

    As long as I get here by 8, it is one of my favorite places to have breakfast in NOLA. I like the beignets here the best and the staff is pretty nice.

    Beautiful arched ceilings and old tile floors. Courtyard opens to the adjacent 8th District Police Station...don't steal any condiments!

    Best Beignet in town! The staff is friendly and the Cafe Au Lait is legit. I'll pick this over Cafe Du Monde every time.

    Loved the beignets! Loved my iced café au lait! Wished it hadn't rained and I would have loved the outdoor seating area. Still loved the atmosphere.

    Best beignets in New Orleans. This place trumps Du Monde. Cleaner and less crowded with exponentially better food and coffee.

    Great cafe with good vibe. Outdoor seating is available. Can get busy but worth a stop for an iced coffee and pastry

    Its a must come place if you are in NOLA. They have the best coffee, which is perfect after a crazy night at bourbon.

    Quirky and cute blonde cashier made me feel welcome after asking some dumb questions about the area. Didn't get her name, but you'd know it if you talked to her

    If you come to New Orleans you must try a beignet. Is also a quite and fresh place to listen to good jazz out of the Bourbon street's caotic night.

    The best beignets I've had so far. And I've tried others including Cafe du Monde. Cafe Beignet's is the best.

    The almond croissant and key lime pie tart are divine. I actually enjoyed them more than the beignets.

    I like the food and the fact you can get alcohol. Not to mention they've got great live music

    The beignets are the perfect blend of fluffy and doughy. Give some love to Sammy, the cat who watches over the premises.

    Beignet with a cafe au lait. Beignet was slightly undercooked and covered in so much powered sugar. Cafe du Monde is way better.

    We got here early in the morning in late October. The beignets were good. The coffee was really bitter, too bitter. But the garden was nice.

    Try the Beignets - It may be sacrilege to say it, but this version of the local #dessert or #breakfast is even better than Cafe Du Monde

    Excellent service, beignets are just as good, if not better than Cafe Du Monde. Definitely less crowded. And slightly better music. ;)

    Had never had a beignet until then. There's something magical about having world-famous beignets at a small NOLA cafe in the rain listening to local jazz.

    If you can't sit in, grab a few beignets and a coffee to go. They hold even if you are walking all over the Quarter.

    Careful with the birds in the patio. I saw someone get pooped on. I recommend the beignets and the breakfast sandwich.
