Delicious beignets that may actually be better than Cafe du Monde. Sweet, affordable, fluffy, and they have good coffee too. The only reason it's 4 stars is because service was slow and the place smelled kind of mildewy. It wasn't really bad but the smell was a little off-putting. read more

Mo'Bay Beignet - Six beignets - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

We stopped into Mo'Bay Beignet while downtown and it ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I really like Mobile as a city. It feels like a junior New Orleans in some ways, but with its own distinct Gulf Coast personality. One common thread along the coast is beignets, not the frozen novelty kind, but real New Orleans style beignets done right. That is exactly what we were looking for. We made a beeline for Mo'Bay late in the day, close to closing time. There was no crowd, but they were more than happy to make a dozen to go for us. Powdered sugar everywhere, just as it should be. Worth every dollar. The atmosphere inside was also very nice and inviting, even during a quick stop. If you are in Mobile and have any interest in beignets at all, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended. read more

Mo'Bay Beignet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

MO's Beignet - A Downtown Mobile Gem A charming little spot in Downtown Mobile, MO's Beignet is as cute on the inside as it is delicious. Full of that welcoming Southern charm, it offers beignets at a very reasonable price--just $6 for three standard-size pieces, with mini options available too. They come out hot and generously dusted with powdered sugar. The texture is a bit denser than the classic New Orleans beignet, but still tasty and satisfying. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Mobile and craving a sweet Southern treat! read more

Beignets are some of our favorite desserts and we always get them in New Orleans. We were excited to try this place on our trip to Mobile and we were not disappointed. They make excellent beignets here and I would say they are just as good as Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. We enjoyed trying the sauces with them as well, especially the cinnamon, which paired really well with the beignets. Service was good and there's plenty of tables and a sink to wash your hands, which is always nice when there's lots of powered sugar involved. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys beignets! read more

Excellent cafe au lait! Best I've had in a long time. Beignets were fresh and cinnamon dipping sauce ok, not my thing though. Beignets were made to order so fresh and hot! Service was fast especially when the young lady working there was by herself handling all of the orders. The place is large and spacious inside, could be cleaner but not terrible as it's a very old building. read more

beignets had texture of bread rather than donuts. Place is nice. Outside tables are a good thing.

The cutest place, it would be a perfect place to go get an espresso and work if you were in town for business. There are plenty of tables, free WiFi, nice bathrooms, great location (north of all the other businesses) a little bit quieter. The only thing they are missing is an outdoor area. The beignets came out quick and were super yummy! Staff was nice. The whole store of this place is clearly displayed and is fun to read too! read more

This place was a must stop during my visit to Mobile. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to visit! I loved the ambiance. It had a combined industrial and historic feel. I had beignets in their dining room rather than grab a bag to go. I recommend eating your beignets in the dining room. Try to grab a seat at the front window so you have an opportunity to people watch. Service was good. Staff was friendly when I ordered. Beignets didn't come quickly, of course, as they're made fresh to order. As with any other beignet place, DO NOT wear a black short or any other dark color. You will have very noticeable powder sugar all over you. The beignets here are delicious! They're made from scratch, all day and every day. They have quite a story on how the company was founded. Go to their website and read "The Story of Mo Bay." As you will begin to read, sometimes you have an idea and sometimes an idea has you. I completely agree! I'm also for supporting local businesses so stop by Mo' Bay Beignet if you're ever in Mobile! Enjoy those beignets and watch out for that storm of powder sugar falling from somewhere..... Maybe somewhere above? read more

Came to Mo'Bay Beignet as it was recommended by some family in the area. We were able to grab some parking down the street pretty easily for a Saturday night. The inside is very nice and vibrant with a modern rustic interior. The seating is in the front and you order in the back. My boyfriend and I ordered the 3 piece beignet and it was brought to our table when it was ready. The beignets had a hefty sprinkling of powdered sugar as it should and we were ready to dive in!! Upon taking a few bites, we noticed that the beignet tasted fishy? Mind you, they only make beignets here so we were very caught off-guard. Maybe the oil quality or being old or something, but I don't care for fishy beignets. The texture and everything was great, but the fishiness is hard to overlook for me. This place is definitely up and coming and maybe we'll try it again eventually, but big miss for us. read more

Food service and ambiance. The coffee was cold (I ordered hot) and must have been a day old. Service was slow. The beignets were ok. We ordered the seasonal sauce apple something it was passable but not great. The table was sticky. The room is very loud. I used to love this place, but it went downhill. This is my last visit. I do not recommend. read more

Fantastic stop when in downtown Mobile! The name says it all, they've got amazing beignets and a few drink options. I love the branding of this spot altogether - clean and modern. They even have some catchy merchandise that I'm still thinking about. The beignets come out fresh so you can enjoy the big fluffy goodness while it's warm. The small order with 3 beignets is plenty to share with a friend. Plan your outfit in advance, you will be covered in powdered sugar since it's piled on high. I didn't think I needed a syrup, but I'm thrilled that I tried the buttercream - a tasty little dipping cup to take these to the next level. The store is light and bright. The counter is in back and there's tons of tables to sit at in the front room. It's cleaned often so don't be afraid to make a little bit of a mess (there's no way not to). Alli was at the counter when we stopped in and was an absolute gem. She walked us through the menu since it was our first time and even stopped by the make sure we were enjoying our visit. She made her way around the dining room and seemed to know everybody by name. One of the kindest and most welcoming people we met on our trip. read more

Great beignets with different seasonally sauces!!! Get people and owner! Nice place!

The place has an open and urban-rustic look. You walk into a large open dining area, then follow the sign to order. We were NOT prepared for the size of the beignets. There were 4 of us, so we ordered a dozen. They're HUGE! And SO delicious. But we really didn't need that many. It's one of those excellent mistakes. We just enjoyed more later. The cashier was patient with us. I wish we lived closer, so we could have more! read more

My husband and I stopped in while in town. We ordered some lattes and 3 beignets. I noticed that two beignets on each end were hot, but the one in the middle was not fresh at all. The floors were unusually sticky and it was very hot inside. I know the temperature outside is hot, but it wasn't even pleasant. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. read more

Do you really need to know what a beignet is to enjoy it?!? Absolutely not, but FYI it's simply a french term for "fritters". Embedded in Louisiana French-Creole culture and cuisine during the 18th century, the beignet was popularized most notably by the famous Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. The brainchild of Jaclyn Robinson, a photographer by trade, Mo'Bay Beignet Company was born recently in 2019. With a second location in Auburn, Alabama, MBB takes a simple menu item and excels at making it a star. The beignets are made from scratch daily with an added twist of "syrups". These signature syrups include cinnamon and buttercream served on the side for dipping. They also have "seasonal" raspberry or chocolate syrups. Tonight's special syrup was coconut. Located in historical downtown Mobile right on the corner of Dauphin and South Hamilton St, parking can be a bit of a challenge depending on time and day of the week. What appears to be a converted warehouse with high ceilings and perhaps to match the pounds of confectioner's sugar they use, MBB is painted bright white everywhere. With a simple contemporary style and cute phrases written on the walls, there's even a special sink available for patrons to wash their hands. Unfortunately tonight, the sink was out of order. Upon entering, you walk past the dining area with ample tables and chairs to the back where you que up to place your order. After ordering you may find a seat and someone will bring you your beignets. Their menu is simple. Beignets and coffee. If you're looking for anything more, move on. You can get an order of 3 beignets or a "family pack" of 12. We ordered 2 small orders with no syrups. We only waited about 10 minutes or so before my name was called by the young lady looking for me. If you've ever eaten beignets this way, you'll agree that there's nothing you can do to avoid a mess. If the lower half of your face doesn't look like a bad clown makeup job by the time you have taken a couple of bites, then you are not enjoying yourself. Half the fun of eating beignets this way is making a mess. Hence the readily available sink. The other half is appreciating these wonderful square morsels of delectable goodness that were fried to a perfect golden brown and sprinkled generously with confectioner's sugar. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a good beignet. These were as good as I remember them from Cafe Du Monde or Coffee Call in Baton Rouge. These might have been a little "thicker" than Cafe Du Monde's which are a little lighter and "airier" inside. But the taste of the warm doughy inside coated in confectioner's sugar made raising my a1c a few points worth it! You can't have a beignet without a good Cafe au Lait (French for coffee with milk) and theirs is a blend of chicory with French roasted Guatemalan. They even offer it over ice as a cold brew. We thoroughly enjoyed our dessert here with good friends and the next time we return, I might try their chocolate syrup. Thanks for a trip down memory lane Mo'Bay! read more

Came by mid-week while touring the city. Greeted by a very patient employee who helped me figure out our beignet order and coffee orders. We got two orders plus a buttercream dipping sauce (amazing) plus pecan praline iced coffee. Our order was piping hot to where we had to sit and wait for them to cool down while drooling over how good they looked. We were met with a lightly crisp outside with a thick but super fluffy inside that just hit the spot. Coffee was a great addition, even though next time I would go cafe au lait to complement the beignets better. read more

An enjoyable stop for a quality beignet and coffee. I like the ability to select how much chicory (or none) I want in my coffee. As everyone knows, coffee & chicory go hand-in-hand with beignets. Plenty of on-street parking and easy on/off access to I-10 if driving through Mobile and you're looking for a place to grab a snack and stretch out. read more

So yummy! I wish there was a bigger menu maybe other than just beignets. I thought the space was a little large for having one item on the menu. I understand it is a beignet shop but still. They had 3 sauces available and I only tried the buttercream. It was pretty good I am just not a big sweet person so I'm not the best to judge the dips! Coffee was on point, have to say that it is better than any Starbucks chain. read more

Stopped in after the Nutcracker. Waited about 10 minutes for the beignets. After eating them, decided to buy one of their gift baskets that was in display. Asked questions about what my option choices would be (type of flavoring syrup). Person at the register ring me up and I paid. Then they said they would call their manager to find out what DAY it would be ready. Nowhere at the display did it say that you needed to order in advance, nor did the employee say anything about it. It looked like a very simple to assemble gift, so I assumed they would either have some premade or could quickly put the prepackaged items into the basket and wrap it. It didn't have fancy bows, etc. I said wait, I didn't know it would take days. I don't live in Mobile. She called the manager (or someone), who then said it would need to be picked up in the West Mobile location - (what?)! Had her cancel and refund me. They really need to be more clear about this in the future. Otherwise, good experience. read more

Was disappointed. Our beignets were under-cooked, one was raw dough inside. My hot chocolate was just a mix with hot water, nothing special at all... tables were all dirty. Just not a good experience at all... read more

A little tough, a little chewy. And powered sugar poured over them. Not like NOLA version The young lady at the register was nice and helpful. Bought some of their ground coffee to try at home. The place could have been cleaner. Just some bear tables and chairs and some trash laying around. It was late in the day, but first appearances are important. Interesting reading on the wall on how the owner got started and found her location. Not sure about a return visit. Good luck with your business. read more
