A quiet place to grab a quick bite. I've been here before and their beignets are pretty solid, the minis are great for kids. I got the frostbite today and wasn't impressed. It's supposed to be made with chicory and ice cream blended together but just tastes like watered down coffee. Not really creamy or thick at all. read more

Cute little coffee shop near our AirBnB. Nice coffees and tons of sugar on our beignets! The minis are just a perfect bite and they're crispy! We are used to the softer, pillowy versions, but these were great! Very good service and the clerk was nice. Definitely worth popping in as there is a lot of parking and we didn't feel rushed at all! read more

GREAT BEIGNETS!!! Regular and mini! Love it. This is an excellent spot for two awesome things - cafe au laits of multiple kinds (my favorite coffee drink!) and beignets, also with multiple options. I will have to come back and try the spiked cafe au lait, since I was alcoholed-out at the time... They also have coffee with chicory. Tastefully decorated, cozy interior. A chill place to hang out with friends or kids, study, type, read, and enjoy delicious eating and drinking. Simple pricing - $3/4/5. Plenty of places to charge devices. Fancy restrooms. Friendly staff working really hard. We went back to order seconds and she said it happens a lot. Five stars all around. I would be a regular if I lived in the neighborhood. read more

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

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

My wife and I and two grandchildren went to Uptown Coffee for coffee, beignets and hot chocolate. The beignets were hot and fresh but a little doughy. The low point of our visit was the hot chocolate. Neither grandchild, ages, six and nine, would drink the hot chocolate. They said it tasted milky. I sampled it and it did indeed taste like warm milk with very little chocolate. It was not the rich hot chocolate experience we expected. And the price is now five dollars a cup. So we paid $10 for hot chocolate that was hardly fit to drink. Why didn't we return it? Well, by the time it cooled off and the kids had been been sipping on it it seem like a lost cause. read more

The most interesting and unique part of the experience was the man behind the counter, who was very surly and grumpy. In a curry full of southern hospitality and servers that go out of their way to give you a good experience, he made sure to let everyone know how much he disliked his job. I can't lie, I respect his honesty. He was overwhelmed with orders, working alone, and wasn't afraid to tell us all about it! Would definitely return. Everyone should try this place!

They offer a variety of creative beverage options including Ethiopian brews and Waffolinos. In case you are wondering, a Waffolino is a waffle cone lined with chocolate inside. They pour your latte of choice into it and you sip it from the cone. It sounded intriguing but I couldn't resist the temptation of the Marshmallow Cappuccino, which came with marshmallow fluff. (Calories don't count on vacation.) Ooooohhh Chile! That cappuccino was everything I'd hoped it would be. The roast was robust and smooth and the marshmallow fluff made me feel like a kid. I also must point out that the staff are super friendly. I'm glad I came back.
