Customer Review Summary

Beignets are what reviewers come for, and opinions split sharply on them. Fans describe them as piping hot, generously dusted with powdered sugar and fresh, with one noting a stronger buttermilk taste and another saying a son ate several in one sitting. Coffee gets a passing nod as a satisfying pairing, and a few mention friendly workers and a quick breakfast to take back to the condo. The complaints are specific. One reviewer describes a dozen coming out in different sizes with raw dough in the middle, another found them hard and flavorless at home, and a third compared one to overcooked pita bread. Others describe a rude cook in the back who brushed off a request for more caramel dip, a grungy interior, and limited coffee options. One reviewer suggests bringing cash because the card machine sometimes goes down. One cashier gave an extra beignet after an order came out wrong.

Featured reviews

  • Jodie McKinley
    “Was excited to try this place because my daughter loves beignets. The inside of the restaurant could definitely use a revamp or upgrade. It’s kind of grungy and not welcoming at all. There are limited coffee options-coffee from a pot or vanilla cappuccino from one of those machines like you see in a gas station. We got our beignets which were a little pricey but they looked good. When we got them home to eat they were hard and didn’t have any flavor.”

    “That was not a beignet. At best you could describe it as an overcooked pita bread, fried and then covered in powdered sugar. Absolutely awful and inedible.”
  • Tinka9
    “While the beignets are good Sunday the service was not. It felt anything but warm and welcoming, I guess we didn't buy enough.”
  • Chocolates my jam
    “Horrible quality, total waste of money. Was super disappointing, paid $21 for a dozen beignets, all came out different sizes, inconsistent, sloppy and UNDERCOOKED. Majority of the batch was raw in the middle, like completely UNCOOKED DOUGH, …”
  • Rafe Bar
    “Beignets, beignets, and more beignets. Very delicious, super fresh. Great service, and delicious beignets what more do I need to say. I didn’t think about it at the time but not sure if they have a dipping sauce, but that would have been a good addition, but obviously not needed because I ate everything without even thinking about it. Bring cash, sometimes the card machine goes down.”
