Cafe Beignet

Beignets and coffee at Cafe Beignet allowed me to savor the quintessential breakfast of the Crescent City - of New Orleans, Louisiana

Nestled amidst the charming streets of New Orleans, Cafe Beignet stands as a beloved institution, offering a delectable taste of the city’s culinary heritage in a setting steeped in Old World charm. Savoring my walk from JW Marriott New Orleans, I took in the sights and sounds of New Orleans before entering the cafe.

Since its founding in 1990, this quaint eatery has been a favorite for freshly brewed coffee, fluffy beignets, and the soothing strains of live jazz music drifting through the air. Stepping into Cafe Beignet feels like stepping into a bygone era, where time slows down and every sip and bite is savored with the reverence it deserves.

As I entered Cafe Beignet and looked around, I felt a deep sense of truly being in New Orleans and standing in the heart of the French Quarter. Frankly, I didn’t want to waste time in line at Cafe du Monde. So naturally, I chose Cafe Beignet and was glad that I did.

As I sat on the patio with my FRESH HANDMADE BEIGNETS and COFFEE, I felt at one with the city and of my sense of place within it.

I felt Cafe Beignet invited me to savor the simple pleasures of life in the Big Easy. With each sip of chicory coffee and each bite of my powdered sugar-dusted beignet, I felt the sensations of tasting the city’s soul—a rich tapestry woven from the flavors, sights, and sounds that define New Orleans.

It was the best way to capture the quintessential essence of the area, before setting out to photograph the day.

Truly, Cafe Beignet should be on a list of must-visit destinations of New Orleans, Louisiana.
