Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"For two hundred years, New Orleanians have savored every sip of their rich coffee accompanied by delicate, crisp beignets (ben-yays). These golden squares, usually dusted with powdered confectioner's sugar, can best be described as a cross between a French pastry and an American doughnut. In New Orleans, beignets are enjoyed at a breakfast, for dessert, or any time for a special treat. New Orleans' Café Beignet provides a grand cafe setting outside and in, and the best coffee and beignets anywhere."
–Café Beignet website
"Each of the Café Beignets has its own charm. The Royal Street location shares an adjoining shaded slate patio, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee with beignets, pastries or a light lunch. The Bourbon Street location in the courtyard of what was Jazz Legends Park features live jazz bands and a more extensive menu."
