Okay spot. Went on a Sunday. They were pretty packed. We got the beignet fingers and iced coffee. The fingers were okay. The ice coffee was bitter. Better beignets and coffee in Baton Rouge. I probably wouldn't return. read more

Coffee Call - Bignets x3 and cafe au lait - Cafes Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge is synonymous with many things and Coffee Call's beignets should be near the top of your list. Hitting Coffee Call late at night or early in the morning is a favorite past time. Incidentally now I see they have expanded the menu to include a small selection of poboys and soups for lunch. Growing up here, I used to go to Coffee Call when they were at their previous location a block away on the same side of College Drive. They moved to this newer location awhile ago. It's much bigger and has a drive thru, but their beignets are still the best in Baton Rouge! Large spacious dining room and coolers on the far wall filled with containers of gumbo, chili soup, mushroom soup, salads, and half gallon jugs of Iced cafe au lait and iced amaretto. We got there 30 minutes closing after the LSU UAB game. Start at the end of the line. Grab a lunch tray and put your cut on it. Then go down the line and pick your dispenser of cafe au lait, coffee, or hot chocolate. At the end of the line, square up with the cashier with what you want to order. We got an order of beignets, a small beignet fingers and hot chocolate. Go ahead and grab a bunch of napkins (powder sugar will go everywhere) at the side table and find yourself a table. About 5 minutes later, they called my name and I went back to the cashier to pickup my food. The order of 3 large beignets are snow covered with powdered sugar and "steaming" hot. If that's a small plate of fingers, I'd hate to see the large! We ate as much as we could. Went to the side table and got a white to-go bag from the large stack. Those pillows of doughy goodness really hit the spot. Yom Yom Yom Yom! There's not much to say if you know what a good beignet should taste. Their hot chocolate on this cool night was spot on! Their coffee is also arguable one of the best in town... hence the name of the establishment. Perhaps one day I'll get to try their poboys and gumbo. It's on my to-do list! read more

Stopped by as it is open late and I had to kill a couple of hours while my child was at a dance. This place oozes nostalgia and has the French cafe vibe. I remember spending many late nights here back in college hanging out with friends, though that was back at the old location across the parking lot. Besides the prices, not a lot has changed. The fingers and coffee take me back to a time when life was simpler. How can you really go wrong with dough freshly fried on order and covered in powdered sugar? The service is always friendly. This place was always a favorite for my grandfather. I look forward to coming back for many years to come. read more

Beignets were hot, dusted with powered sugar. I recommend the beignet fingers for a sweet crunchy treat. As you can see the plate of fingers were enough for 3 to share. The beignets come 3 to an order. Lots of powered sugar and a confectionery sugar shaker on each table if more is desired. Unfortunately these were not the best that I have eaten. Service was absolutely phenomenal. Friendly and kind. read more

We stopped here on our way out of Baton Rouge on the recommendations ration of a friend. It was a Sunday a.m. around 8am. We ordered a large order of beignet fingers for the road and a separate order of three beignet's to take to our hostesses. My daughter got a blueberry muffin and it was all divine. They were so very good and by the time we were 20 min on the interstate, we were both covered in powdered sugar and wishing we'd gotten milk from their cooler. Just stop. Rumor is their beignet's are better or as delicious as Cafe Du Monde' in NOLA. Honestly I don't know how they could taste any more delicious. I've never been to NOLA but why go when you can just go to Coffee Call? ‍ read more

Coffee Call - Large order of beignet fingers - Cafes Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Visiting a friend who wants me to get the full Louisiana experience so that included beignets. The decor of Coffee Call is reminiscent of New Orlean's Cafe du Mond. We ordered the Beignet Fingers vs the traditional beignets since they are easier/slightly less messy to eat. With it being warm out I got the iced Cafe au Lait. We ordered the small plate of beignets, which was a lot larger than expected. They were hot and fresh and yummy. I loved the iced Cafe au Lait. They do sell their coffee in the store, House Blend and a blend with chicory. You can also purchase powdered beignet mix, mugs, and T shirts. Service could have been a tad friendlier but the same people who were taking the orders were cooking the beignets. They obviously knew what they were doing and that is the most important thing. read more

So glad I decided to listen to my yelp friends Jando & Boon on trying this place out! I have yet to try the beignets in NOLA, but I heard this place might even be better. Got here pretty early on a Friday, plenty of parking, they also have a drive thru available. We went inside. Restrooms clean, two stalls in the women's bathroom. Tables are constantly being cleaned by staff since the powder can get the tables a bit messy. I wasn't sure what to do when I walked in or where to go to place an order, I followed the crowd, you grab a tray, a mug, get your hot chocolate, coffee or tea.. order your beignets or anything else and pay as you get down the line.. not sure how take out order works. Probably the same line. I went with the beignets x3 which was PLENTY for me and two other people. They were so warm, fresh, delicious. Paired perfectly with my cafe au lait! I definitely will come back when I'm in the area again for sure! My son had their blueberry muffin and said it was really good. They have lots of different soups, salads, ice coffee, chocolate milk, etc.. ready to be purchase in the fridge along the left side wall. They also have souvenirs, shirts, mugs, beignets powder which was really great if you want to bring something for somebody or even as a nice souvenir for yourself. read more

Straight up childhood memories at Coffee Call. When I'm home in Baton Rouge I make it a point to stop at least once. I usually do drive-thru but decided to go inside this visit. All of the memories came flooding back! I remember the original location like it was yesterday. Loved seeing families sitting around the table catching up on the weeks events while enjoying their cafe au lait and delicious hot beignets! I saw several students studying as well although I'm not sure how they do it cause it can get loud and busy! It was nice to sit down with my son and enjoy one of my favorite treats! And as a reminder don't wear dark clothing cause you will leave with powdered sugar on some parts of your body...lol! If you don't then you didn't eat them right. Lol! read more

Stopped by Coffee Call after hearing that their beignets were fantastic. I was a little disappointed that the beignets were not made fresh to order as I've experienced before; instead, they were piled high in a warming pan under a heat lamp. After placing our order of beignets and coffee, the beignets were covered with lots of powdered sugar (yay!). They weren't very hot, but they were tasty enough - a bit tough. What I did appreciate was that they weren't greasy at all, which can be a common problem! The coffee was (vanilla hazelnut) was decent, although a bit bitter. While the service was quick and the interior is super cute, I was a bit disappointed in the lack of hot, fresh beignets that I was expecting. read more

Coffee Call is just like the famous Cafe beignet shop in New Orleans. They have the most delicious hot chocolate and chicory in town. They are famous for the fresh made to order beignets which comes in small or large. You can order the fluffy larger three-piece or opt for the fingers. I preferred the fluffy large beignets with the amazing powdered sugar all over it and inside the bag. Some night they stay open till midnight and the college Drive location has a drive-thru when you're in the mood for coffee or a dessert! Yum! read more

One of my favorite beignets cafe when I'm in Baton Rouge. It has an open kitchen where you can see how they make and fry the beignets. I've been coming here often when I lived in Louisiana. Yesterday I visited and it's like I never left. Everything is the same. Friendly service and everyone with a smile. Almost everyone covered with white powdered sugar ;). The beignets and beignets fingers are still delicious! Will definitely keep coming back for more when I'm in town! read more

The main decision here is beignets or beignet fingers, and how many. Either comes out hot and powdery-sugary, perfect with a hot Cafe au lait - or iced coffee if you prefer. My friend said these are better than the other beignet place in NOLA. Its a fun taste test! Enjoy! read more

Yelp Beignets and beignet fingers for days!!! I'm in heaven! You can't come to Louisiana and skip over the Beignets. That's a no-no. After a long day of shopping and fellowship with family, we heard the place to go is Coffee call. Of course, we are from out of town, so we have no idea where to start. All the locals are quick, beignets and fingers and something to drink. Everybody is friendly and the service is quick. We started with beignets! OMG, yum. We killed them. They so good, hot and fresh. We had to get a bag of fingers to go. This is a spot! Beignets, hot drink and some good fellowship, I like it. Oh, and if you want to go soups and stuff, those are packed up and ready. This is a whole vibe! Y'all already know, if this was in Alabama, I would be back on the regular. read more

After trying all of the famous beignets in Nola this weekend, Loretta's, cafe du monde, cafe beignets, we were surprised that these ended up being our favorite. We came at an awkward time, the only hour they don't swerve any food besides beignets, so we only tried the beignets and the beignet fingers. They were pillowy, not too doughy, lightly crispy and exactly what I wanted in a beignet. The fingers were a great bite size version of it. read more

Coffee Call - Beignet Fingers - Cafes Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Coffee Call is one of those rare places where time seems to slow down -- a cozy, nostalgic haven where the scent of fresh beignets and coffee fills the air, and everyone from college students to families and retirees gathers to share a moment. Whether you're visiting Baton Rouge for the first time or you're a longtime local, Coffee Call is not just a café -- it's a community staple, a comfort zone, and a taste of Southern tradition done right. Let's start with the beignets -- because, honestly, they deserve the spotlight. Light, fluffy, golden perfection dusted with just the right amount of powdered sugar (okay, maybe a bit more than "just the right amount" -- but no complaints here!). They come out hot and fresh, every single time, with a slightly crispy exterior and a soft, pillowy inside that melts in your mouth. You can get the traditional square beignets or the finger-style ones, both equally addictive. It's the kind of treat that doesn't just satisfy a craving -- it creates one. And of course, what's a beignet without coffee? Their café au lait is rich, bold, and perfectly balanced -- never too bitter, never too weak. Whether you like it black, sweet, creamy, or iced, Coffee Call's coffee is consistently great. There's something deeply comforting about sipping that warm, robust coffee while dusting powdered sugar off your fingertips. If you're not into coffee, they also have hot chocolate, tea, and other options that are just as satisfying. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere is what keeps people coming back. The place has a slightly retro feel -- the warm lighting, old-school decor, and hum of quiet conversations make it feel like a place where memories are made. You'll see students with laptops studying for exams, couples sharing a late-night dessert, friends catching up, or families introducing their kids to beignets for the first time. It's casual, it's welcoming, and most importantly -- it feels real. The staff are always friendly, efficient, and kind. Even when it's busy (and yes, it does get busy -- especially late at night), they keep things moving with a smile. The prices are affordable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes, and the service is quick without ever feeling rushed. Open late and beloved by night owls, Coffee Call is more than just a coffee shop -- it's a Baton Rouge institution. It's the kind of place where locals bring out-of-town guests and say, "You haven't been to Baton Rouge until you've been here." And honestly, they're right. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. It's charming, comforting, and absolutely delicious -- every single time. If you're anywhere near Baton Rouge, do yourself a favor: skip the big chains, come to Coffee Call, order a café au lait and a pile of beignets, and enjoy one of the simplest pleasures Louisiana has to offer. read more

In the 13 years that have passed since I wrote this review, a lot has changed. LSU has won another championship, Baton Rouge actually has trendy Asian food, social media is more of a thing than ever, and I love Coffee Call enough to give them 5 stars. I was never much of a coffee aficionado much less someone who craved beignets, but now I can't get visit this place without getting at least one of the two. The beignets have been a hot ticket for all visitors to BR where some folks will even say they're better than Cafe Du Monde in NOLA. I won't contribute to the argument, but I will say that these fingers are way easier to eat. They are a fun item to share and the sugar high can get intense. The cafe au lait is a must order for coffee fiends. In my previous review I had noted that I wasn't into it, but fast forward a decade plus and I'm sipping away like the rest (best?) of them. The hot version is also good, but I prefer the sweetness of the iced version. I always tell them to keep it light on the ice so it doesn't get watered down so quickly. For folks who want to enjoy the experience at home or want a quality gift from BR, they should consider getting a beignet / king cake (seasonal) mix bag and their coffee (grounded or in bean form) from their souvenirs. I was expecting them to be pricey, but many are below $10 making them a great value. As COVID is a thing still, I would highly encourage everyone to sit away from each other, at least indoors. They still have outdoor seating and a drive thru that is still very popular. Everyone should make this a must visit during any stop in Baton Rouge. read more

Second time here! We are out of towners and just passing through. Beignets are wonderfully fresh, full of powdered sugar and extra powdered sugar on the table if you want more. The Cafe Au Lait was perfect. Five stars for the service too. My husband (previous food service worker) tried to bus our table and the staff quickly stopped him - politely of course. The space is perfect, tables and chairs remind me of an outdoor competitor down near the Strand but the AC is much more nicer in this weather. We are looking forward to the next time we pass through and can stop here again!! read more

Every few months in my 20s, I made the 14 hour treck from Houston to Atlanta or vice versa. Along that treck there was 1 mandatory stop...a beignet run! Awful in Atlanta, worse in Houston, in an effort to kick my Cafe du Monde addiction, I gave Coffee Call a try, and un-teen years later, I wouldn't have it any other way. I refuse to contribute to the debate. In my opinion, these two are like my two children- why in the world would I choose to support only one? They do not provide the beignet experience of Cafe du Monde, nor do they try to emulate them, they provide good beignets, and a different experience. The dining room is spacious, and they stay packed...with good reason. So why the debate? All hail these pillowy, fresh, fluffy sugar topped dough balls in all shapes, sizes and forms (and if you so happen to be from Houston, it IS worth the day drive). read more

When I lived in Baton Rouge, I love this place when I come to town I go get me some beignets

Their iced cafe au lait is the best I've had so far. Beignets were steaming they were so hot when I got them. I will absolutely be back!

These are the best beignets in Louisiana! We've been coming here for decades and it is incredible! The beignets are almost always the perfect combination of doughy but light. Occasionally they are overcooked or extremely heavy but it is more common for them to be perfect. The service is almost always very nice - they treat their customers like family and are more than happy to help. The most recent time we went though the service was quite different (the reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars). They had us order our beignets and then stand at the front waiting for them to cook and serve the plates which has happened before but this time it was poorly organized. Generally if the beignets are not already served the will just bring the tray to the table but this time there were tons of people clogging up the front of the line all waiting to pick up their food and no one knew who was first or who ordered what. Also they removed all napkin holders from the tables - beignets necessitate many napkins. Also, it was incredibly difficult to get a to-go bag, normally you just grab one for any leftover food. This time they were nearly forceful in using three tiny bags instead of one slightly larger bag which was certainly an unusual experience. I hope our experience is not indicative of the future of Coffee Call. read more

Coffee Call is a Baton Rouge CLASSIC. Incredible beignets, hot, fresh, and perfectly sugared. Café au lait a plenty. A vintage feel and friendly, warm staff. A wonderful place to meet family and friends. It's barely changed since I was a child and we are so good with that. If you've never been, it's important to know that it's a casual place where you stand in line to order, and the line can get quite long on a daily basis. It moves quickly though, as the beignets are fast to cook. I highly recommend branching out sometime to try their biscuits, especially with the smoked sausage. Their biscuits are just as good as their perfect beignets! read more

I remember coming here as a kid and was excited to bring my partner with me when we were passing through town on a road trip. My partner wanted beignets and I was excited to share that these were the best I was aware of. Walking in and seeing the white arch and blue walls brought back so many memories of sitting in the cheery and friendly interior with family. We accidentally arrived close to the end of their lunch service at 2, but their chef Michelle came out and ensured she had our po'boy order before they stopped taking sandwich orders and brought it out to us. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to wait to get the beignets or try and hear them call our name from across the cafe (we chose to sit near the entrance by the window that showed behind-the-scenes coffee roasting) and when I asked the cashier Barry, he said he'd bring our beignets when they came out. We enjoyed them with an iced cafe au lait and black king cake coffee. It was a wonderful time with excellent service, classic coffee, and a wonderful atmosphere. I couldn't eat anything due to being vegan, but enjoyed my hot coffee while sharing the memories with my partner read more

Couldn't wait to let my kids try their first beignet! Stopped in on the way to New Orleans. Had good reviews and thought it might be a little more mom pop. Not so much. Other than the older gentleman, possibly the owner, service was bad. When we walked in, the older gentleman smiled and welcomed us. Once at the counter, we had to get their attention. The bearded guy seemed bothered to have to customers. We ordered our coffee to go, so when we asked about cups without turning to even look us he motioned, "they're over there" But those were actual mugs for dining in... Anyway, I've been to New Orleans several times, and these didn't compare. Then again, bad service does leave a bad taste in your mouth. So even if they were great, I wouldn't come back or recommend just based on the poor service. Promised my kids they'd have a chance to try beignets in the city. If you're just driving in, just wait. Things taste different with the surroundings of the quarter. For your first time at least. Or maybe you'll catch them on a better day. read more

A bright and airy place noted for beignets and cafe au lait. Pretty sure it's the only place in Baton Rouge to get New Orleans style beignets. Here you can get them in two styles: regular and beignet fingers which are a longer thinner version of the beignet. Supposedly the fingers are easier to eat and not as messy but not as good in my opinion. If you want a beignet, you might as well get the traditional version and be prepared to be covered in powdered sugar either way. The clientele here is a bit on the older side compared to most coffee shops in town. Looks like a bunch of old-timers who meet here on the reg. Gives the place an old school feel which it deserves. Coffee Call has been in Baton Rouge since before coffee shops were cool. I still miss the original location which had a be sacrificed to make way for the new Wal-Mart but when they moved here they did a good job of preserving the look and feel of the place we'd always known. Same color scheme, lights, etc. There are other items on the menu as well. I've seen people eating soups and such but I've only had the beignets here. Also, there's a drive through if you're in a hurry. I'll give it a 10 out of 10, mostly because it is the only place in town to get beignets and there isn't another place like it in Baton Rouge. Also, the customer service you'll get here is top-notch. Even the people cleaning the tables seem happy to be here. read more

Coffee Call - May be the only place in Baton Rouge to get beignets and cafe ah lair. - Cafes Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Coffee Call is a must-stop when in Baton Rouge. The spot is simple, small, but efficient. If you walk in and the line is to the door, plan to wait 15-20 minutes but be done quickly after. The beignets are unmatched in Baton Rouge, which is why the line is long every weekend morning! The classic beignets are all that's needed - and the cafe au lait is pre-made and pour yourself, so refill as you'd like. Sadly haven't had the opportunity to try the lunch poboys, but if we're in the area during a weekday lunchtime will 100% be stopping in! read more

I was taken here close to 20 years ago on a business trip and loved it. In October I had to drive through Baton Rouge, had a hankering for beignets, and decided I'd try to find it. Yelp made it easy to find, and it's just a couple of blocks off I-10! I arrived on a Saturday morning. It's obviously still a local favorite as there was quite a few people. My beignets and cafe au lait were wonderful and decadent. I had not had one in several years. I have been to Cafe Du Monde, and consider the beignets at Coffee Call every bit as good - without having to drive all the way into New Orleans, fight traffic and pay as much for parking as for the beignets! The only thing I felt they could improve on was their customer service. They could take a few lessons from Chik Fil-A. The employees serving the customers didn't seem to be enjoying themselves, nor enjoy waiting on people. Had I not been so intent on getting some beignets, I may have not stayed. That's sad, because they have a quaint establishment, and a great product. Another thing that I didn't understand... to go cups do not get refills as do the drinks in real mugs or glasses. Since I was wanting to get on the road, I got the to go cup anyway. If I travel through again, I'll probably still stop by. Hopefully I'll have the time to sit a spell and use one of their special mugs that get a refill... read more
