This is a very busy cafe! The dining room is a little cramped but there is a second room with a table and chairs. We had the red beans and rice, beignets, and a latte. My husband enjoyed the red beans and rice The beignets were a little bready but yeasted and much better than the ones are beignets and brew. My latte was perfect. read more

Been seeing this place on my DoorDash but didn't want to have it delivered from pretty far away. It's a local creole spot that has a pretty good selection. The gumbo was good, the red beans and rice were pretty good, my eggs were okay, I'll try something different next time, my son loved his burger though and overall pretty satisfied with my experience. It's pretty much serve yourself, but the person behind the register had a great attitude and as you can see from the pics it is a lively little spot. read more

*** Salty Snack Review *** *** Sides and Shareables *** If you love salty snacks, but feel guilty about eating a bag of chips, here's your chance to slightly rid yourself of the guilt. Sweet Potato Chips ($2.75, Grade A+) House-made, thinly-sliced, sweet potatoes. They are lightly salted and fried, but not greasy. Since they're thin, they are super crispy and the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes makes these addictive. They were so good, ordered 2 bags to go. HOURS: Monday: Closed Tuesday - Friday: 6:30a- 2:00p Saturday: 9a- 2p Sunday: Closed read more

The food at Café Bienville had great flavor -- no complaints there! Unfortunately, the portion size didn't quite match the price, which left us a little disappointed. The picture attached is a full size breakfast bowl with no bites taken yet. Also was charged for a full side of bacon and received less than one strip in the bowl. I believe the menu says it's 3 strips. Overall, tasty food, but the experience was a bit off. read more

Cafe Bienville - Cajun Salmon & Coleslaw Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Niceville, Florida

Order at the counter, there's a small room beyond the main dining area with foldable tables. You order at the counter and pick up your food on the other side of the counter. Does appear some parties of two share the tables in the front as well as the tables in the back too. No longer have the duck sandwich that I saw pics of from here that brought me here at all. :( We ordered a rosemary chicken sandwich, Elvis or peanut butter banana latte with oat milk latte, sensation soup and a bowl of 3 sister soup, all to split. $28.45 The rosemary chicken sandwich is good, the baguette bun was toasted and a bit too hard for my liking, but the rosemary chicken was still tasty. Salad was okay, some old dark baby green leaves that didn't look so fresh, but the dressing was fresh and citrusy and good. The Elvis latte is pretty good, it tastes decent, but the coffee for the mug size is quite weak, tastes like it's about 2 shots or so. The 3 sister soup is also pretty good, seemed more hearty with the cubed potatoes, otherwise would feel like watered down soup with some veggies mostly. Definitely seems like a small town cafe feel, folks know each other around Niceville and Valparaiso too. read more

It's so peak. All food and coffee I've ever gotten comes out fast and is SO flavorful!

This place is 10/10 from service to food to restaurant decor and vibe. Sure, you could go buy fast food that was cooked hours ago... or you could buy good quality food from a local company. They have the best burgers in Niceville. The coffee is really good too. read more

Wonderful staff excellent service very friendly and everything is made fresh almost like you're in your own home cooked kitchen wonderful atmosphere. Feel right at home. Not to mention the prices are every fear. Definitely recommend! read more

Eaten here a few times coming into town. The food is tasty and straightforward. The coffee menu is interesting and good, the service is attentive and the place is always humming with people in the mornings. A great option for local food! read more

My first time visiting today!!! They serve breakfast and lunch. I chose breakfast. The small breakfast bowl was very tasty! And the beignets were so delicious, many customers ordered lunch and everything looked delicious. I had decaf coffee and it was getting cold in the carafes they dispense it from, but it was coming up to lunch time. read more

These people will yell at you if you go into the side room and try to get a chair. I'm talking about yell and run up on you like you're about to fight in the streets. Customers BEWARE. Hide your children, hide your wives! See Christopher B's review. I was there to witness this. Very unprofessional! read more

I really liked this place. Great food and friendly staff. Cozy dining room with a family feel.

Excellent food, great atmosphere!!! I love their shrimp and grits, it's definitely my favorite.

Excellent lunch spot! Nice atmosphere! Excellent Foor and choices. Some vegan friendly items. -recommend! read more

Have been three times and it's like each time got worse.. overcooked and cold food each time.. awesome combo.

HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!! Is three witnessed them (wife and husband) yelling at people about their buzzer. The husband yelled at my mother about the buzzer, rolled his eyes and made a sarcastic comment to whoever he was sitting with. Hey, here's an idea- get some numbers so we don't have to hear your loud, rude, unprofessional voices. And your food is gross. NEVER COMING BACK AND TELLING EVERYONE our experience. read more

Beware: ice from the fountain drink machine had dark mold. Cashier took it from my hands quickly when I pointed it out and tried to replace it with ice from the bar that she assured me was "different ice" and would be okay. She didn't take any immediate action to address the moldy ice machine, didn't inform the other customers, and didn't seem to tell the other staff either, but who knows... The beignets were disappointing: fried too hot with a dark exterior and a dense, gooey center. And the bacon (at nearly $2 per slice!) was served unevenly cooked and covered in dark, dirty bacon grease. I seriously question the food safety standards at this restaurant. read more

Food was divine. The wait time is not even worth mentioning. The place was clean and good looking. The cost is more high than a normal breakfast but for the out of this world quality and large portions. It was better than expected and more. I didn't try any of their coffees or breakfast drinks because I'm mentally 9 and drank a Diet Coke. Great for a small get together of old people. read more

Nice cozy local restaurant, colorful art on the walls, clean tables and bathrooms. We had the Breakfast Bowl it was ok but served on cold plates. Great coffee, self serve three flavors. We had beignets which were very good, unfortunately, one had a nice long hair in dough. They provided a new order which we took home...but on second thought didn't eat. Noticed kitchen staff with long hair and beard, but no hair net...hmmm. Maybe that's how the hair ends up in the dough. read more

Yes! A little creole flavor in the small town of Niceville. They serve all your New Orleans classics like rice and beans, muffulettas, gumbo, etc. There's also serve items with some Latin influence. I ordered the Caribbean stuffed sweet potato: baked sweet potato, stuffed with seasoned pulled pork and black beans. It was so good; it only lasted a few seconds on my plate. Prices are good almost everything is less than $10. The beignets are fantastic - a must have. Staff is extremely nice and helpful. They're also open for breakfast and they serve some awesome coffee. Overall, 4.5 stars. read more

Love this place...we come here all winter-our favorite breakfast place. We haven't been here for about 6 months and I think they have changed their buttered toast. I know it sounds crazy, but that toast used to be like biting into heaven-please change it back! read more

Love the service here, the employees were super nice and helpful. Definitely get the beignets and breakfast bowls here.

Great food and service!! We were passing through and made the stop. Also a great coffee. Definitely recommend!!

I didn't eat a ton here, but the beignets are worth stopping in for. Light and airy and some of the best I've had outside of New Orleans. This place was pretty hard to find and has limited parking. There's a full breakfast menu and lots of options looked good so I'd probably return. read more

The Cuban Sandwich comes with an authentic Cuban taste and with a side of black beans that could be subbed out for red beans. Really like the sandwich and it's very filling with a fair price. Their coffee puts places like Starbucks to shame. I really enjoyed eating here and I will definitely be back with family and friends. read more

We love this place! Everything we have tried has been amazing. Really great atmosphere. Highly recommend the Aztec mocha iced.

I stopped into Cafe Bienville for lunch with a group of five. One of the group had been there before and highly recommended it. He wasn't wrong! The menu is diverse, with a lot of Cajun / New Orleans-style food. AND...they serve breakfast all day! I had the Cuban sandwich, which was delicious! It was a little crowded at lunch time - the sign of a good restaurant - so plan ahead. Four of the five of us had not been there before. I'd say we'll all go back! read more

Good service, nice atmosphere. I had the muffuletta, it was very good. My BF had the bacon cheese burger . He said it was just "ok". The sandwich's didn't come with sides, so we ordered home potatoes . Just because you put lots of Cajun seasonings on them does NOT make them Cajun. The food was expensive, the price of food right now is crazy, so that kinda makes sense, but I'm not sure for us personally it was good enough to warrant another visit. But definitely try it out. read more

Cafe Bienville - Muffuletta, Bacon cheese burger, potatoes - Cafes Near Me - Niceville, Florida

A perfect experience finding a hidden gem located on a busy road with easy access and plenty of parking g on the side. A New Orleans-ish bayou themed restaurant. Not a single dish is bad. The hamburgers are fresh huge half pound and worth every penny. The pork is slow cooked for I think they said 16 hours. So flavorful. I added a side of red beans and rice yummy good. Breakfast is served all day long. Large bowls are used for the breakfast dishes all made from scratch you can't go wrong. Make sure to order the beignets you won't go home sad. Served fresh and warm. read more

This place blows anything else out of the water - FRESH food made daily in a family establishment and always clean and affordable...this place beats 95% of tourist food - fried baskets, chicken fingers and other frozen garbage from CISCO foods. I've enjoyed their food since they were in original location. There's always complainers tho! Keep up the great food and prices! read more

This place is absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and I needed a place to become a regular, I was not disappointed!! I had the "build your own breakfast bowl" and every single ingredient was piping hot and fresh! I highly recommend this to anyone who comes to the destin/FT Walton/ niceville area!! Not to mention the friendly faces that greet you as soon as you walk in!!! Thanks Melissa! read more

The food was terrible! Could only taste salt and vinegar on the bbq sandwich. Threw it in the garbage! Friend also had a sandwich that was awful. Won't be back. Everything self-service, and then you are expected to tip, I did, but regretted doing so. Won't be back. read more

Great breakfast yesterday at this gem. Amazing service and welcoming staff. Will be back for lunch!
