'Cept for Laffite's which is at the end near Bienville, I think.
There's also Chateau Lafite in Exile on the 800 block of Bourbon. Ancient gay bar with very friendly bartenders. I'd recommend going in daytime for a casual drink (at night it can get rather risque).
Owen Brennan's offers another possibility for beignets and coffee, though personally I'd recommend going to the French Market in the early morning hours to buy fresh strawberries and look through the various bookseller's stands.
The Jazz Brunch on the patio of the Court of Two Sisters might be fun. The atmosphere there is great, and although I haven't tried the brunch menu their dinner food compares favorably to that at K-Paul's. Just make sure to get under an umbrella if you eat outside - the songbirds in the trees overhead look and sound nice, but you'll want to stay covered.
Riverboat cruises can be a great way to see some of the surrounding countryside. I'd suggest skipping the meal option though, as the food is about the worst you'll find in the city. The Creole Queen is the boat that's reputedly haunted.
I didn't think the brunch food at Court of Two Sisters was that great. My favorite for brunch is Brennan's, but that can get expensive.

Yeah, but their coffee sucks. I hear they use instant.

I didn't really like the food at Court of Two Sisters either. But the band did play us a few special songs since we were there on our honeymoon, which we appreciated.
I like the Court of the Two Sisters well enough. They make a Bananas Foster to die for. There are just other places I like better.
