Downtown just got a bit sweeter—and a lot more photogenic.

Beignets and Brew (@beignetsandbrew) is hosting its soft opening this Saturday, June 14, at 885 N Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando—and it’s not just about the sugar. The space is a full-on vibe.

With good lighting, pristine walls, cozy corners, and photo-ready backdrops around every turn, this café was made for your camera roll. Whether you’re posing in front of their signature neon signs, snapping a flat lay of your powdered-sugar-dusted plate, or cheers-ing a biscotti cookie butter latte with your bestie, it’s hard not to leave without something worth posting.

Beignets and Brew first launched in Destin, Florida, in 2021 and has quickly expanded across the country. This Downtown Orlando spot marks the brand’s twelfth location, joining another local outpost already open in Hunter’s Creek—but this one brings the concept right into the heart of the city. If all goes to plan, 30 more locations are expected to open by the end of the year.

The café is designed for just about every kind of hangout: girl’s night, solo study session, baby shower, cute and casual date, or a late-night treat run. With a closing time of 10 p.m., it’s also a rare dessert spot that stays open after dinner.

Menu staples include fluffy NOLA-style beignets, served hot and fresh, and a lineup of indulgent espresso drinks—especially the biscotti cookie butter latte, which already has something of a cult following.

The soft opening is expected to kick off around noon on Saturday, giving you a chance to scope out the sweets, snap a few photos, and say you were one of the first. You’re welcome!
