Best Beignets in New Orleans (Our 2025 Picks)
New Orleans and beignets go together like jazz and late nights. These are our favorite spots for fresh, hot beignets — plus tips to beat the lines.
Café du Monde
The classic. Order beignets and chicory coffee. Open 24/7 at the French Market; lines are shortest early mornings and late nights. See details →
Café Beignet
A prettier setting with multiple locations and live music at times. Slightly smaller beignets, lighter texture. Browse more beignet spots →
Morning Call
A historic name with devoted locals. Great for a quieter sit-down beignet break off the main tourist path.
Pro Tip
Powdered sugar gets everywhere — don’t wear black if you’re taking photos 😉
