If I could give 10 stars, I would! I love this place! Why are there not more alcohol coffee place in nola?! They sell an awesome - near perfect - Irish coffee that I always dream about. There is no reason not to come here and make this place popular. I don't think many people know about it. I have been about three times and there are maybe 2 or 3 other people inside. YOU NEED TO CHECK THEM OUT! They have regular coffee too. But they do not have a huge food list, it is mainly beignets - which are delicious and they make fun shapes out them to be festive - like stars for example. But who needs food, when you have alcohol coffee?! The staff are always kind and helpful. If you want to change anything up, they are more than happy to. And they make the presentation just beautiful as well. It is a great place for pre gaming prior to a meal or post gaming after a meal. They are connected to 4141 and it can be a little confusing trying to find the entrance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are clean, there is a fun two seater table that has like a pac man game or something similar, and there are some leather chairs and couches to sit on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is great and you know I will be back! read more

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

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

I had a ginger drink and my sister had a smoothie drink. my sister said it was good and I thought my drink was good too. The ambience was good but it's not the best I've ever seen so I will give it a four star.

Got to visit again and the food is STILL amazing! Definitely something to consider if you want…read moredelicious pancakes and omelets.

Drip Affogato Bar Nola

SOOOO FUN! I'm…read moreusually not a sweets girl, more savory but my friends found this place nearby and so we went right around opening time and before dinner. The decor was very fun and sexy. Wish we got a couch versus the normal boring chairs, but it was fine. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the boozy versions of course. The ice cream flavors were amazing! I honestly can't remember them all, but I think the zulu was my favorite of the night. The portions were PERFECT. Such a treat, they even had the world cup playing so bonus points for them. Highly recommended for a night out!

This place is so cutesy. Such a cool concept for a restaurant. Ordered the franchi$e (lemon pie…read moregelato, citrus cookie, lavender drizzle, violet sea salt, lemon zest, whipped cream) and the Zulu (coconut gelato, cherry drizzle, shaved dark chocolate, toasted coconut, black cherry). The sundaes themselves were amazing. I would say the Zulu is a little better but I am an avid coconut lover so I could be biased. However the espresso was terrible. So bitter. It kind of ruined the sundae I wish I didn't even pour it on. Really should work on that considering it's an affogato place.

Surrey's Café & Juice Bar

Ohhhh boy it's been a minute since I've been back! And I'm happy to be back! I came in on a…read moreSaturday morning around 10a and what a surprise... there was no wait, and they had parking. This is really a nice spot for a simple breakfast. It's not a place that plays loud music, has a DJ or half naked women walking around. It's real quaint and has about 8-10 tables. Overall I'd come back after all it's really a New Orleans thing

They really just need a new building and it would elevate the whole experience…read more The food is always consistently good, but no reservations, a line to wait, and the tight space may not be worth the trouble. A stroller for kids is impossible. Getting to the restroom feels like you're leaving the restaurant. It takes shabby to a whole new level. The art pieces for sale are cool. I purchased two pieces.
