I used to come here years ago for beignets and because they had a loyalty program. I didn't realize they had changed their name (I'm not sure if they still honor the loyalty program either. Regardless, the beignets were fine, as expected however, the hot chai was terrible. I couldn't even finish it. after two sips, I wanted to return it and get a refund. It did not have the typical chai spices taste that is typical/would be expected. My sister ordered some other latte, and she said it wasn't good either. Also, there's a $1 charge for milk alternative, fyi. read more

Just finished dinner at New Orleans Hamburger and seafood restaurant, food and service wasn't that great. The kids wanted beignets after dinner so we decided to get the beignet bites, they were terrible. They were crunchy and beignets should be soft fluffy and sweet. These aren't it. I feel like the young lady that prepared the order just refried some that were fried before. Please do better. read more

Ooh the beignet place is back! But with a new name and a new menu. The beignet spot has been closed since Ida. Now that's its open, it's no longer a franchise of the not famous chain. So it's reinventing itself with pastries and all the fancy coffee drinks. Good news - it still has the mini beignets. But no longer has the chocolate ones... Which is fine honestly. The beignets are perfect, light fluffy and yummy. Bad news for me... No iced tea but maybe that will be available eventually. The drink menu is much larger than before with a legit barista working, making all the fancy coffee drinks. Service was great. The space is open with high ceilings. It's still a liitle sparse but they're getting there. The spa water was a lovely touch. read more

First trip to NOLA and of course you HAVE to get beignets! Everyone talks about Cafe Dumonde, everyone also talks about how long the wait is to get into Cafe Dumonde. Our AirBnB host recommended this place as the best beignets around... they did not disappoint!!! No lines, huge parking lot, get beignets! We personally like the beignet bits, but 3 full size or 12 bites for $4 is a no-brainer. Its a cool little coffee shop, lots of local art, and of course fantastic beignets!! read more

Didn't realize this was a different place from the previous tenant (New Orleans Coffee & Beignet, which closed). Unfortunately, the beignets here should be called fried biscuits.

It takes a while to get your order because of low staffing. That said, when you get it of course it's beautiful and tastes great. Sitting just around the corner from Bourbon St. and the hustle and bustle energy that you walk thorough to get here- walking in was disappointing. It's a large open space with seating- and it's QUIET. No background music. It gives late night diner vibes and honestly, that's too bad. Adding music, upbeat- doesn't have to sound like a club but music and having more energy between staff and customers would greatly improve the experience and I believe, increase business. If there were some Fats Domino or 90s R&B flowing out of speakers and staff were smiling, upbeat, dancing etc. it would give more "legendary" experience verses midnight diner vibe. That alone made me not want to come back. Not everyone wants to drink alcohol so stopping to sit for a well made artistic milkshake is a great option. The energy brings down the vibe and experience. Match the ambiance, service and vibe to your menu and 5 stars all day.

The staff is always nice, but I feel that they are always so stressed to get the product out. The shakes are so overpriced. The small size is $1 less than twice the size. Now, you can share these delicious shakes with a friend or loved one (either size) but with tip, you're still spending $20 on one shake. Because the shakes are so elaborate and intricate, you're going to wait about 15-20 minutes per shake, even if you're the only ones there. I would love to give them more stars because it is such a delicious experience, but only have one to two people working is a very hard line to draw if you want customers to be patient/happy.
