I got to try Mr. A's Beignets at the Apex Farmers' Market in Downtown Apex. Parking was available in a city lot, behind the buildings across the street. I was the only one in line, waiting patiently for the teen to take my order. When she finally took my order, all went well, and it took a few minutes to get them made. 3 seemed the smallest amount you could order. They are a good size, so I don't think most people could eat three at once. The first one that was hot was good. But I didn't care for the one I had later that evening, as it didn't taste the same. They come covered in so much powdered sugar, so be warned that it will go everywhere. If I could order just one, I'd stop again, but I wouldn't order three again. read more

Great, friendly service and amazing beignets! We purchased both the traditional and turtle shaped versions from their location at North Topsail Beach. They are delicious on their own, but the caramel dipping sauce adds an extra bit of deliciousness. Will be back when we visit next year! read more

Is Mr. A's Beignets under new management? The first time I had the beignets, they were really good. However, the last two times have been very disappointing. Especially today at the Farmer's Market -- they were terrible and completely inedible. What happened? This truck is not the same. Do not waste your money. Buyer beware! read more

Excellent NOLA like experience. I invented sugar kisses, the first time someone tries a beignets we blow sugar on them and have them make a wish! My kids grew up thinking it was a real NOLA tradition. Nope just some Italian mom loving her kids with sugar kisses! read more

I had been passing this food truck for days on my way to visit my dad in hospice down the road. When I saw it open again, I got two orders of powdery goodness. I was so happy with the fresh beignets that looked fantastic and smelled even better. Paid it forward with a tip for the hard working crew of the truck, and a box for the reception desk on the way to sharing a last breakfast with my dad. We could have been sitting outside Cafe DuMonde in Jackson Square-these were that good! Thank you Mr A for a special moment, and some special beignets read more

This is a food truck, Good beignets (not quite as light as Cafe du Monde, but very good), although a little heavy on the powdered sugar. Chicory coffee was Very good. Prices were OK. Recommend? Yes Would we return? Yes read more

I've never had Mr. A Beignets but I have had beignets before. These were delicious. I ordered them from their food truck at a neighborhood event. I was a bit bummed that they only offered their Trio (3 large beignets) or the dozen (13 large beignets). Their normal menu also offers a dozen mini beignets and "add on" beignets. I was excited to try the minis but settled for the regular size. They offered 3 types of dipping sauces - Hershey's chocolate, Hershey's caramel and Nutella for $1 each. They were already heavily dusted with powdered sugar so I didn't bother with the sauces. Now, the beignets...piping hot and pillowy! So delicious. Mine were a tad overcooked so they were thinner than normal but still a yummy treat. I could only eat 2 so I plan to save one for breakfast...I wonder if they'll be good reheated?! I would love to see them have the option for cinnamon sugar as a topping in addition to powdered sugar. I wouldn't say these were any better than other beignets I've had but they're wonderful. The girl who took my order was very friendly too! Go get you some! read more

I had never had beignets before trying these and now im addicted! These beignets are perfect! Not overly sweet, perfectly light inside. I hope they come back to Downtown Cary soon, I can't wait to get some more! read more

So when I first saw this place, I was imagining simple fried donuts, but when I got there I got these amazing powdered square beignets ($5 for 4). I have to say I was very impressed by how simple yet delicious it was. The beignet was fresh out of the fryer and the dough was perfectly fried. The powdered sugar paired well with the fried dough as well. I am personally a chocolate fan so did wish there was something to drizzle on top, but the beignets were honestly amazing the way they were. Would recommend eating them fresh as they did not taste as great when I got home. I also got their coffee. Nothing too special, but did have an earthy tone to it. I like where this food truck is located in downtown Apex. There are other food trucks next to it making it feel pretty lively. Ample parking as well. Staff is great and very friendly as well. Overall, love this place and I also think it is very unique. Would recommend checking it out if in downtown Apex. read more

I wish Mr A's was closer to me, but honestly it's probably a good thing they are so far away. I'd be there ALL THE TIME if it was down the street. Right now it's a great destination treat for me. I loved the fun shapes they had last Thanksgiving, a fun little surprise and of course the beignets are amazing. I have not been to LA so I can't tell you how authentic they are but I sure do love them. Def a must if in the area. read more

Lovely pillowy beignets! They were delicious, but gave one less star because only 3 of them were $7. That seems a bit pricey. They are tasty however. So if you were searching for a beignet, you will not be disappointed with these. Of note, this is a food truck. So, it is best to check their website for their location. read more

We got these beignets at Peakfest in downtown Apex after seeing the truck around town. They are light on the inside and drenched in powdered sugar. Be prepared to get messy if you order these. They are good and would probably be better with coffee but I don't know if they are the best beignets I've ever had. read more

My mom and I found Mr. A's at the north end of Topsail Island. She had seen them on social media and couldn't wait to try the beignets. There was a small line of customers waiting and the team in the truck did an excellent job of balancing preparing food with greeting customers. The woman in the window was so kind and my mom was quickly able to order sea turtle shaped beignets. (She loves sea turtles!) And these did not disappoint. Not only were they adorable and prepared really quickly, they were delicious too. I'm not a fan of sweets and these were the perfect balance for me - light, airy and slightly sweet dusted in the powdered sugar. We also opted to try the caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. (Highly recommend you do too) Will be back again! read more

Discovered today that this truck is located dangerously close to my house ! These beignets are the REAL THING. We recently went to Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans and I can seriously say without a doubt that these are equivalent to the beignets that we ate (on more than one day) there. The line does form but they are pretty quick about getting them out. Only downside is that there are no tables to sit and eat at. You do not want to eat these in your car unless you are about to clean it out. That yummy powder sugar can do some damage to your interior: read more

Very yummy and great customer service!! The price is really good as well for a food truck. I recommend trying them atleast once.

Went back again this weekend and the beignets were excellent again. Got two full boxes to bring back to work and every one loved them. So happy that the last visit was just a one time fluke - refunding the order was not necessary, but I very much appreciate the quick response. read more

Solid beignets drenched in powdered sugar so be ready for the mess. Extremely friendly staff and I love that the options are quite simple and straightforward. Just wish they were open for a little longer so I could enjoy them more often. read more

So, so delicious--the perfect breakfast on an overcast day on North Topsail. So glad we stopped at this amazing truck! read more

Mr. A's Beignets are super delicious and addicting! No weird aftertaste. It does great in the air fryer or oven for the next day. Also, the closest to NOLA's beignets. Authentic. I dare say it's better than the ones at Disney. More importantly, Mr. A , the owner, is super nice and supportive in his community. He's willing to help local college students if they wanted to interview him about his thriving business and his co-workers even went on to say Mr. A often treated them with his famous beignets. I'm glad and proud to support this small business. I highly recommend this Mr. A's Beignets and will continue to come here for my cravings. P.S. We always ordered the 50 pieces for about $24. Last us about a week. read more

Every morning I pass by and always see people in line and figured I would give it a try. Food truck is parked along the road, can't miss the bright yellow truck. I have tried beignets once at Disneyland and don't have too much recollection. I stopped in and purchased andorder of 4. Although the the truck was closing, the staff were friendly and the beignets were warm. *****downtown apex location has moved****** read more

Delicious hot and fresh beignets. The staff was super friendly as well! Will definitely be going back.

Me and my husband went to the food truck yesterday. It's cheaper if you pay cash. Not by much though. I got the trio and he got the turtle. The turtle is adorable. They were both delicious. Nice and friendly staff. Quick service. read more

It's delicious! The bites are perfect sized for the kids. It's opened Friday and Saturday.

A wonderful food truck that serves beignets! I got mine after the Bull City Race Fest. Nice and hot, with powdered sugar (and for extra, you can get chocolate or Nutella dipping sauce). They also serve delicious chicory coffee. Everything was terrific. This is not to miss! read more

I'm no stranger to beignets, as my affinity for New Orleans cuisine can attest. They are French pastries commonly served for breakfast and often with powered sugar. Traditionally eaten right after being made, they come out hot and fresh and pretty darned delicious. And now, Downtown Apex (near the Pizza Hut) has a food truck that makes them just the way I like them. My nephew alerted me to a "stand" that makes "square donuts" on Salem St. I had a completely different idea in mind than beignets. Still, I had to check it out because I'm insane for food that keeps me fat. I ordered the "Trio" and they came packaged in the company box with logo to boot. The guys in the truck were laid back and fun and I really wanted to try their chickory coffee but I was already hyped up on espresso, so that will have to wait. But the pastry was fantastic - warm, tasty and soft but firm. Perfect. If the stars don't tell you that I'm a fan, take it from these words: I really like this truck, their product and the dudes working it were very cool. Head to their website and check out their menu to pick out your order ideas ahead of time. read more

I have a confession... I did not leave the house intending to come here. I was on my way to sample another local lauded bakery to feed my sweet tooth when this bright yellow food truck caught my eye. When I saw it said beignets I felt a little flutter in my tummy. I've had beignets on the mind for months but haven't been able to find somewhere in the area to partake in these fluffy delights without venturing into a Cajun restaurant. Today, the search ended. I drove past initially and parked at the skate park to see if I could find any information on them (namely Yelp reviews). I checked Yelp to find no profile for them. I then turned to a Google search that only yielded a link to their website. Upon further research I learned that they were a new business. (Less than a week old it turns out) I perused their website (which was pretty great) to look at the menu and to read a little bit of background on the company. After carefully assessing the risk versus reward ratio, I determined that the reward potential outweighed the $5 risk and decided to give them a try. I whipped the car around and pulled in. There were two other people leaving when I arrived. I took it as a good sign and proceeded to the window. I glanced over their menu quickly and saw it closely mirrored the one on their website. I was impressed to see the New Orleans Chicory Coffee (think Cafe du Monde) on both menus as well as other tasty beverage options. The couple who ran this immaculately clean little joint were very sweet and welcoming. I ordered the traditional trio: three beignets topped with powdered sugar. I opted to add honey in addition to the powdered sugar. My order came to grand total of only $5.50! (Note: I paid $0.50 extra to use my card, which is a flat rate per transaction. So it is best to bring cash. But if you're in a cashless pinch, don't let the fee be a deterrent! It's worth the $.50!) After about 5 minutes, my order was ready and wrapped up to go. I quickly thanked them and rushed to the car to unveil my treasures. I slid the plate out of the bag and it was a sight to behold. Golden honey glistening off of these golden brown pillows of goodness dusted with a snowfall of powdered sugar. After taking the requisite picture, I dug in. The honey and sugar melded together divinely to form a warm gooey concoction on top. The inside was light and pillowy and the whole thing literally melted in my mouth. Within minutes, I had devoured all THREE and was covered in powdered sugar. (Ahh satisfaction...) That's when I dusted myself off and returned to thank these two for making my day and find out when they would be returning so that I could partake once again. They'll be on Salem Street between Center and Hunter streets going forward so keep your eyes peeled for the yellow truck. If you see it PULL OVER and enjoy these yummy beignets. You will not be disappointed. read more

Hot fresh and delicious every time. I love grabbing these tasty treats on my way to work

Omg...it's mandatory that I have these at least once a week. Customer service is simply amazing.

This took me back to New Orleans!! I mean wow. They are simply delicious! I ordered the 3 pack of the regular size beignets - they of course come covered in powdered sugar and warm. It melted in my mouth and I had to legit stop myself from eating all three right then and there. Literally had to close the box and put it in the back seat so I couldn't get to it. The people working there were sweet too - always a plus. So glad I don't live super close to them. I'd have to buy bigger pants. Lol read more
