Filled beignets
Jessica S.

The only negative I would have to say, which is legit grasping at straws, was they only accept cash right now. We ended up having to find an ATM so we could order but it was well worth it! It is a small shop in a strip mall but it is so cute and quiet. The food is fantastic! We got the filled beignets and the regular ones. The filled was sooo good and are filled with vanilla pudding and topped with sugar and chocolate syrup. They were delicious! The price was super affordable too and well worth it.

Liking these beignets!!

Today is another example of the importance of updating Yelp reviews. It's been over 4 years since I wrote my initial and only review here. It was just recently that a friend from Memphis was visiting and expressed a serious craving for beignets that I picked up here close to my home. I'm certainly glad I did because they were so much better than my last visit. I had a plain, custard filled and fruit filled beignets that were all quite good, much improved over my first couple visits here. I am happy to bump these guys up to four stars and will be returning. Cafe Beignet is a locally owned and operated shop specializing in New Orleans-style beignets. founded by a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, who fell in love with the Gulf Coast and decided to bring a taste of his hometown to Alabama. Since my first review they now have a second lovation at 25405 Perdido Beach Boulevard, Ste. 22, in Orange Beach, AL. This cafe offers freshly made beignets, a popular New Orleans pastry, generously dusted with powdered sugar, as well as a variety of muffins that pair perfectly with hot and iced beverages. Cafe Beignet operates from 6:30 AM to 12:00 PM, seven days. No website but the Orange Beach location has a Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/cafebeignet/ Bottom line: Cafe Beignet in Gulf Shores, AL, offers a delightful experience for those looking to indulge in the iconic flavors of New Orleans without traveling far from the beautiful Gulf Coast.

Fresh, authentic beignets and chicory au lait...breakfast of my dreams. My beignet partner had the latte (also good but not chicory coffee). We opted for the traditional and filled beignets and we not disappointed in either! Yes, we bought a dozen (6 trad/6 filled) so we would have some for later. The filled had a delicious vanilla filling with chocolate drizzled on top. Great service from our accented server today.

These Beignets are awesome. We ate them fresh and it was divine. The employees are very nice! They are so personalable.

I had yesterday for breakfast and went back today and got a dozen. Hot and delicious. The young lady that waited on us was friendly. Try this small business you won't be disappointed.

Every trip starts with a quick review of local doughnut options and let's just say this was a great option instead of a traditional doughnut! Most places would provide you whatever was in the case but the display case was just for that, displaying their options. When I got my dozen, they were piping hot,l and fresh. Messy as they should be. Definitely need to make this a stop for your breakfast.

Such a cool hole in the wall place in parking lot of shopping center. Was craving beignets so was happy to find this. Our service was excellent. Greeted as soon as we walked in, made us feel very welcome. I had been prepared for mean employees after reading some of the reviews, but this was definitely not the case for us. Had 3 regular beignets and 3 stuffed with vanilla pudding and topped with chocolate sauce, and cafe au lait with chicory. I liked the regular beignets best, the others were good but too heavy and sweet for me. Will definitely visit again when I am back at Gulf Shores.

SO good!! My husband has never had beignets and I last minute found Cafe Beignets, we got the beignets and a blueberry muffin and they were delicious. The staff was so sweet and welcoming, it was so good that we had to document it.

2 filled, 1 plain

4 stars solely to the beignets -- and you must get them filled! The coffee/hot choc is machine made, like the multi dispensers at gas stations and was not ideal (go to Badass Coffee if you want a more custom drink). Cash only wasn't too big of an issue for us, but we prob would have left if we didn't have it on us, it's just an inconvenience when most places around there are cashless now. Overall, quick stop place. Just go for the beignets and pastries and get your drinks somewhere else.

Beignets were fantastic. I'd recommend getting them to go or door dashing them. The coffee seemed a little lackluster.
