Reviews of Beignet Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Currie Thompson

Love this place! Since we discovered it about a month ago, we’ve eaten here almost once a week. The food is always good and hot. The service is always fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Amanda Newton

Loved it! Service was great. We had a large group doing a painting party and they did well checking on us, getting us food, dealing with our distracted request as we concentrated on the task at hand. And the food was awesome! Will definitely be going back!

Gus Palacio

Great food! Good coffee! Cool little spot for really tasty breakfast and they have a large menu inspired by NOLA. Feels like the closest thing to Cafe Du Monde without going to Louisiana.

Keith Jackson

Excellent food, but poor service (at least on the Sunday afternoon that we visited). We waited a while, then decided to get up and get our own menus. We then sat back down and looked over the menu for a long while, but no one came by. The place isn't that big. Maybe you just order at the counter? Maybe that's why no one has came to our table? Negative. Someone finally came by and we finally ordered. Our drinks came out in a longer than reasonable amount of time. The food came out shortly after and it was fantastic. Great Cajun flavor and spice. Try the hush puppies for sure. Sorry, but don't waste your time on the beignets. They're ok. Maybe they were just busier than usual or maybe the entire staff was new. Maybe it'll be better next time. I'll be returning for more hush puppies. They're delicious. One good thing is that the waitress missed one of our drinks on the ticket so I guess that makes up for the lack of service. Would go again.

8/11/2019 arrived restaurant - self seating drink order taken; it was 1030 and they were already out of beignet. We waited 15 mins and never approached by waitress. Customers arriving after us - orders were taken. Left money for drinks and left. Poor service - doubt we’ll be back.

john patterson

Very good I will be back.

Thomas Black

Beignets were good. Service was a little slow and unorganized. Table and high chair was dirty.

norma basner

If you're ever in Madison check out this place! Had the shrimp poboy with a side of cheese grits AND THEN.... BEIGNETS THAT WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! YOU'LL THINK YOU HAD UNKNOWINGLY BEEN TRANSPORTED TO CAFÉ DuMOND IN NEW ORLEANS!!! AWESOME

Michael D'Auben

Great food and coffee. Pleasant wait staff and a nice setting.

Lauren Moore

Had lunch here with a group of friends today we all had breakfast items that were delicious breakfast bowls and dirty grits and beignets our server was great and very suggestive the manager was out helping everyone with a smile and greeting …

Lindsey Pittenger

It was super busy when we were there so the staff was running a little behind and it took a while to get our food, but the food was excellent and the staff was nice. The beignets we're delicious, the crawfish etoufee was fantastic. My husband really liked his steak bomb sandwich, and the biscuits and gravy were great as well. We'll definitely be back. :)

Gregg Travis

We had a party of 6. Came in at 1:02pm. Place closed at 2, assumed we would have plenty of time. The waitress took our drink order and was told our 6th person was coming. Our drinks came and then our 6th person arrived. We ordered our food. …

Kim Warren

Very good. Make sure you get the honey and the Nutella chocolate

Civil Discussion

Food is incredible the Benny cakes are the pinnacle of pancake and beignet. Staff is friendly. The gumbo and dirty grits and jambalaya are great the only knock is they have a tendency to lose orders. Avoid during peak hours and never go if you are in a hurry. Personally I have had 2 orders lost on me and after asking 15 20 minutes later it seemed clear that they never even started them . They apologized both times and the food was great but again never go for a quick bite to eat unless you go on off food rush hours.

David Nawrocik

Very good food. Good service.

Anthony Leach

We always love every dish we get here!

Dee Bberry

Found this in my Google nearby places, was looking very forward to trying it! Had a nearby appointment that ended just ten minutes before close at 2pm... we arrived with just over five minutes to spare & found the doors locked & the place closed. Not sure what time they actually closed but it was well before 2pm as it's Just now two (after writing the review) and there's not even anyone in the place cleaning up! ●They should certainly change the time on here and on the front door! •I normally would not visit any place so close to closing time but we won't be near again until April so... maybe then we can give them a try & turn this 2☆ rating to a 5☆ rating!

Brandi Patterson

We were traveling through on our way back home and stopped for breakfast. I had the loaded french toast and my husband had the dirty grits. We split an order of the beignets as well. Being from South Louisiana I can say the food was phenomenal! Well done! The service was great as well. If you are in the area give this place a try!

Colleen Cooper

Just OK. I ordered the streak bomb and it had mayo on it. I hate mayo and it did not say anything about mayo in the menu description.

Shatrenda Simien

Me and my family decided to try a new restaurant today, they were out of several menu items including the banana foster french toast that was being advertised for taste of Huntsville week. I was so disappointed but we managed to find something anyways. In the middle of eating our meal the fire alarm went off and we were escorted out of the building. After standing outside in the heat for 10 minutes our options were, we could box up our cold stale food for the road or not and line up to pay full price for meal without any kind of compensation. We will never go back to Beignet Cafe.

Matt Bynum

This place is awesome! Both the food and their prices beat the pants off of other nearby breakfast joints (you know who you are).

Sheila Hadden

Very good food. They provided lunch for the English teachers (dirty grits, red beans and rice, salad, beignets. Excellent and much appreciated. I definitely plan to visit the restaurant.

Jacob Stover

Eat at this place at least twice a month. One of my favorites.

Sy Belyeu

Our waitress Megan was excellent! Wait time was minimal. We ordered the Dirty Grits w and w/o the eggs and the French Toast BLT. The Dirty Grits were good, but the Chicken and Andouille Sausage were somewhat overcooked, non tender. Seasoned nicely though! My niece enjoyed the FT BLT! The Beignets were decent, but were not as great as I had antocipated. The addition of the honey and chocolate syrup was nice. Definitely not Cafe Du Monde, but they were good. Would visit again!

Shera Weston

Excellent food!! Would definitely recommend it for great cajun food..

Debbie Dailey

Scratch biscuits were wonderful. Beignets were average. If you want a breakfast that tastes homemade and high quality, this is the place. Coffee was the best I have had in a while.

Sarah Catherine Stegman

Delicious. A fun place to go when you want to pretend you are on a trip in New Orleans.

Lauren Hodges

Ordered the Crawfish Etouffe. It was creamy, nicely spiced, and delicious. Rice was cooked perfectly and the crawfish wasn’t overdone. My husband ordered some beignets. Nice quaint atmosphere and friendly servers. Very happy and eager to go back!

Brian Hodges

My daughter needed beignets for the French class at Bob Jones and did not tell me until the last minute like kids do. The Beignet cafe was open early at 6:30 am and I was able to run in and get some for her class before school. They were very nice, quick, and reasonably priced. We plan on going to eat for lunch now.

Pat Reynolds

Delightful place. Beignet with chocolate sauce was wonderful. Egg casserole, vegetable was just the right size serving. Served hot. Companion had eggs, grits and said they were really good. Server was caring, owner stopped by and chatted. Just a great place.

Linda Ritchie

This was a great place to eat. Glad I got to experience it during my brief visit to Alabama!

Kk Efimenko

Every time I come here, I’m always greeted by the kindest people! The service here is great, and it’s kept very clean. And the food is amazing! Beignets with chocolate gravy will always be my favorite. And the coffee, too, of course. :)

Katie Milliken

Love Beignet Cafe! Great kitchen staff, service, and management! I've never had a bad experience with them. My personal favorite is the dirty grits with fried eggs

Rodney Shaw

This place is crazy busy on Sunday morning! Much different atmosphere than the other location. But the food was still awesome! The Beignet's are delicious. The french toast was scrumptious. The service was a little slow, but only because it was so busy. Well worth the wait, though!

Jennifer Aguilar

4 stars for the service. The food could use a little work. I've spent quite a bit of time in NOLA and some of these items are a complete miss.

Paul Kendall

I had a great experience this morning. Some of the best breakfast in town! I will definitely be back!

Catrina J

We have been here twice so far and the service is great. The staff is friendly and kind. The good is good. The con would be the portion. I had crawfish etoufee on the first visit and Shrimp and Grits on the second visit. For the price, my portion was kinda small but the taste was good. Keep up the good work!

Debbie Wood

OMG these are so good. Taste like I have been in New Orleans this morning. What a sweet treat.

Jonathan Cassagne

Ok. My beignets were raw, running dough when I bit into them. The rest of my meal was fine, but if you're going to name your restaurant after something... you know?

Patrick Springer

Beignets were good, but I've never had one before so I can't compare. Good atmosphere and good food.

ryan willan

Great beignets... not much else. And service was poor for dine-in.

T Hall

Order at counter for dining in and the cash register ask tip you would like to leave. Shrimp n grits lumpy, cold, warm, hot plus cheap canned or baby shrimp with light seasoning. Small servings. This is a par cooking fast food restaurant. Do not think genuine Louisiana. Not even close. Country fried steak par cooking taste prominent. Nice staff and atmosphere. No home cooking here. Great potential. Small servings, fast par cooking food joint.

Brittany Sprinkle

I love everything about this place, from the food, to the staff and even the owners! You won't find anything quite like this in the area. The dirty grits are a must try, but the shrimp and grits are my favorite, but I can't go without having some gumbo during the week either! Whatever you choose you can't go wrong!

stacy willingham

Excellent service. Amazing atmosphere and food!! Hidden gem in Madison, AL.

Alana Kelso

I can honestly say this is one of the best places to get beignets in north alabama! I haven't come across anything on their menu that has disappointed. And the Bama fries and ranch sauce (literally tastes good with everything) deserve honorable mention. Definitely bringing my family from Westwego here next time they're in town!

Kristin Bradford

Great and quaint little southern classics cafe! The servers are lovely and really go above and beyond, any questions about the menu they explain really well. Went there for Fat Tuesday and really enjoyed the beignet, crawfish hushpuppies and crawfish etouffe! All three were scrumptious:)

MaryBeth Martin

The server was nice, not impressed with the food. My beignet was flat and hard. I would have not served it!.

Helen West

Good Coffee. Great Location. Quiche and muffins were great. Friendly and fast staff. Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch or meeting a group of friends.

Sam Man

A piece of New Orleans in Madison, AL. We ordered the beignets, breakfast bowl, and biscuit with gravy. All three were delicious! They offer chicory coffee and regular coffee with free refills. I highly recommend that you make this one of your break feast destinations.

Magi Sanders

outstanding and even gave a drive thru!

Daniel Mathews

Great food, gumbo and voodoo chicken are terrific!

Rocket City Eats

Great service and convenient location. I love that we could get that Creole cuisine here in the Huntsville area.

Amanda Moore

Good cafe au let and beignets! They serve them hot and covered in powdered sugar.

Lisa Applewhite Lynton

Read the captions. The staff, atmosphere, and food are a great way to start my day (any time of the day).

Kerrie Simon-McMillan

If you haven't been to Beignet Cafe in a while you're in for a treat! They've rearranged their dining room. Now with only one register, there's a quaint blocked off dining space. Drive thru pick up is still available and the food is great …

Elena Lewis

Funky fun...great beignets..good value

Jaenelle G

I visited this place once and was not impressed. The shrimp and grits were subpar. Definitely something I felt could be easily made at home. I ordered the country fried steak and there was more batter than meat. My eggs were over cooked as well. The owner asked how things were when I was checking out and I was honest. She suggested I give the cafe another chance. The coffee was good though. This seemed more like a good place to grab coffee and dessert.

Morgann Peters

Excellent food, great service, decent prices, and good portion sizes. Their beignets are JUST as good as those at the Cafe Du Monde, and their Cafe au Lait is excellent. All in all, it's a wonderful experience every time we go. I highly recommend their lunch menu; their po'boy sandwiches are amazing.

Annika Hanson

My boyfriend and I had to run the restroom to relieve ourselves after this awful meal. The eggs tasted like the grill had never been cleaned, the maple syrup was not real even though I asked, and the biscuit HAM gravy (which was not described as that) did not taste like it was made from scratch. I’ve been to NOLA and this entire experience was a far cry from anything I enjoyed there. I’m sure Hobby Lobby thanks you for your business.

Brad Fletcher

Such great food and wonderful staff!

David Stephens

Really good New Orleans style food. Great for breakfast too.

The Greens

Its the real deal. Im from the deep south. I felt like i was back home

Mikayle

My favorite restaurant in Madison! The food is amazing, the menu has many options! Truly a place where everyone will find something they love. They serve breakfast ALL DAY and the portions are large.

Jared H

The food was good and unique. They did a good job getting the food out to us on the busy Saturday morning that we went. I had a breakfast bake and my husband had the dirty grits. I'm not usually a grits person, but the they were even better than the breakfast bake (though that was good also).

Samantha DeVore

Came for beignets. Best I've ever had! Edit: Went back again 2 weeks later and had the biscuits and gravy and the bacon BLT and wow the food was so good. We sat outside and the server was great! Will be back :)

Melanie Walker

The food's so good!!!!

Nancy Smith

We gave this place a second chance, and it wasn't much better than the first. The beignets are good, and the bacon and biscuit I ordered were good (or it would have been if the server had brought me the kind of jelly I asked for), the …

Aubrie Forbes

Beniets were on point! My husband had the loaded oatmeal and i had a shrimp salad. All of it was very good! Loved the ranch dressing, tasted homemade!! We will be back

Kara Lee

Great friendly staff, the beignets were fabulous. Rival any I have had in New Orleans. Cannot wait to try more from the menu and of course more beignets!

Cheryl Anderson

Great breakfast and lunch items with good prices

Jared Wallin

Great little restaurant that emulates the famous Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Serves beignets, oatmeal’s, French toast, eggs and bacon for breakfast. I haven’t had lunch or dinner there yet, but I know they serve a variety of Cajun foods like gumbo and po boy sandwiches. Alcohol is also available.

Brooke Stidham

Friendly staff and awesome food!

Dawn Osborne

Not only was their food mediocre but they gave tiny portions and charged a hefty price for it. Also if you have any complaints be prepared for the owner to be passive aggressive and dismissive with you instead of attempting to fix the problem.

Clara Farrell

Wonderful staff, delicious and reasonably priced beignets, as well as a wider menu selection than I expected. The gumbo is quite good. I no longer live in madison but it’s more than worth the drive

Andrea McCafferty

The food is amazing! They have chocolate gravy!!

Sid Wing

Great food/atmosphere - friendly/helpful staff!

Tiffany Draper

This was my first time visiting and it was amazing! I recommend the blackened steak po' boy.

MV Freeman

This is a fabulous place on a cold and gloomy day-- the gumbo was excellent (I shot a picture after a few bites). Lots of hearty chunks of sausage, chicken, shrimp. The beignets were fabulous- hot, chewy, and the powdered sugar melted onto …

Will_Zeph

My second opinion of this place is leaps and bounds beyond my first impression. We had a great waiter this time around, ever though we came in around close. We ordered coffees, a latte (that was good, but seemed a little watered down) and a cold brew (which actually impressed me, and is one of my favorite cold brews I have had) We ordered a few beignets with a chocolate sauce, and both with and without the sauce they were really good. I feel like there was too much powdered sugar on top, but with my wife not feeling the same, I disregarded that as just a personal taste. For our main meal, we both ordered biscuits and country gravy. The gravy was nice and warm when it got to the table, and the biscuits were great too. My only criticism here is that the gravy could have been a tad hotter, because after a few bites I ate a beignet and once I came back to the biscuits they had lost some of there appealing warmth. I won’t let that effect my review though, because that came down to me deviating and taking my time with the other items. The owner who reached out and personally asked me what happened deserves praise on being bold and not getting mad about criticism. She addressed our concerns about the food and server for the day, and was very quick to communicate a solution and second chance. I’m glad I gave a second chance as well. They have a lot of ironing out to really maximize there effectiveness, but I now see a lot of potential here.

Wendy DiGennaro

It would have been five stars if my gravy wasn't cold. It got four stars because it was amazing flavor and texture.

Erica Bridwell

Everything I have had has been so good. Service is slow sometimes but food makes up for it.

William King

Food was exceptional. Very tasty. Priced right. Go early and be prepared to wait for a table and have to bus it yourself. They are busy and everyone wants to try it. Get the order of beignets to go after your meal. You can keep on enjoying them later.

Eugene Young

Great espresso and beignets

Trey Edwards

Excellent food and service. I had the shrimp po boy with grilled shrimp and cheese grits. Lots of flavor, very fresh. Coffee was great and service was attentive.

Jimmy Johnson

Disappointed....menu has changed. No hashbrown casserole, egg bake is 1/2 the size and double the salt. We used to love this place!

Steven Scone

This my first trip here and won't be my last. I had the seafood platter and my wife had the steak bomb sandwich. We also had crawfish hushpuppies. Let me tell you that was the best fried seafood platter anywhere in the Huntsville area. The hushpuppy sauce they have I would eat off a flip flop... The sandwich my wife got was fantastic. Oh dont forget to get a beignet while your there, they're fantastic. Nothing was swimming in grease like most place you get fried food. Oh and need the catfish breading recipe. Best catfish I've had in awhile.

Kaitlin Lewis

Me and my husband had dinner for the first time and it did not disappoint, our server angel was friendly and attentive even the manger was so sweet and fixed my dark not burnt but a little dark craw puppies immediately and checked on us again before we left. We will be back to try beignets as we were to stuffed to order any this visit

William Wallace

Beignet Cafe is such a great place to grab some delicious Louisiana food. The poboys and beignets are wonderful. I love it.

Billy Walker

I just recently tried Beignet Cafe in Madison. The beignets there was as good as Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. The atmosphere is very nice also. I definitely recommend anyone checking out this hidden gem.

Jason Kelley

Food was good. Portions were small. Chocolate gravy was closer to pudding.

Jeffrey Strock

Even though they forgot my bacon at first it was worth the wait for it. Friendly service great food. Best breakfast since moving to the area.

Keke Keke

Yummy. I love both locations... Shrimp and grits are the best in Huntsville..

Yvonna Hooper

Praline French toast and beignets were delicious.

Star Heart

Who knew I would get a better beignet 5 mins from my house than I got in New Orleans.

Skyelar Finamore

Very very good. Great service !

Kimberly Johnson

A little taste of New Orleans!! Wonderful food and excellent service!!

kenyata Wiggins

I love this place. It was everything my family was looking for. Food was delicious- - - even my picky eaters enjoyed it. They cleaned their plates. Atmosphere was great, staff was excellent and prices were extremely reasonable for the portions. Will most definitely be visiting again.

Candice Musgrove

They were slammed but our food was still hot a delicious. We will definitely be back!

Teri Jeter

Took well over 30 minutes to get our food. I ordered the fried oyster basket with fried okra. The oysters were definitely not fresh -- they tasted super fishy. I ate three of them and that was too many. The fried okra was good. My husband had the peanut butter banana french toast and said it was just ok. The other couples we were with seemed to like their food ok. The beignets we ordered were overdone and had no taste.

Leighann Harwell

A sweet place to experience a little bit of NOLA! Live music nights are awesome!

Chris Heath

The beignet themselves were only alright but the sandwiches and coffee were pretty good. Employees were engaged and pleasant. Definitely worth a stop.

Elizabeth Smith

By far my favorite place to eat!! Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is on point. They have some of the nicest, most personable people working here. I have never had a bad experience at either location and 15/10 recommend!!! You will NOT be disappointed, I guarantee it!!

K B

One of our favorite places to visit. Staff is always welcoming and the Manager makes sure that we are pleased with everything. My favorite is the Big Easy and my husband is a fan of the Dirty Grits. If our Granddaughter is with us, she has to have the French Toast. Beignets are on point. Love this place. So glad they came to Madison.

Jeremy Shelley

Great food. Never had anything bad from here. Just wish there was more variety on the menu!

Party Print Express

Staff was very friendly - I love grits, but I've never had dirty grits. I decided to try it out, it was delicious! I am going back just to try more things, very extensive lunch menu.

Neil Young

This is a very cozy little spot and the food was pretty good. It is a pleasant treat, we had breakfast and the food was fresh and didn't take long to receive our orders. I can definitely see myself going back for another visit. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

Mdub W

It may seem doubtful to get great beignet’s outside of the big easy, but this place is the real deal. The beignet’s are consistent and are messy as they should be. If you need some coffee they offer the Cafe Du Monde brand to accompany the beignets. If you are also in the mood to actually eat because you are hungry, then the Cajun fare will make you feel right at home. Stop on by and bring some napkins as it messy, but authentic in its taste!

John Nguyen

Good food and courteous waitstaff. Very busy place. Ran out of beignet early by 10am. Kids friendly.

Chris Lindsey

Stopped in for lunch. This was my first visit here. I had an idea of what I wanted to ordered, but I asked my waitress what she recommended. She nailed what I was eyeing in the Crawfish Etoufee. I got that and later ordered some beignets. The food was great and the service was really good.

Aaron Feick

Great little up and coming brunch restaurant. Beignets are super yummy and blasted with powdered sugar.

Stuart AlucardDr

Great breakfast. Sat outside and enjoyed the coffee, the baked and the beignets! A perfect leisurely Sunday breakfast.

Eric Boston

This place was a fantastic quick and tasty breakfast. Friendly staff and the beignet were fabulous!!

Willy Porter

Great food ,friendly staff, good atmosphere , well decorated

Aimee Mcdermott

Their Beignets are very good But that’s it! The jambalaya is awful if your wanting a traditional sticky full flavor dish this is not it! Shrimp and grits taste bland too , not a creamy rich flavor ! they taste like and instant box of grits ! Let’s move to the red beans and rice the dish taste as they poured a can of beans over uncle bens rice, red beans and rice the beans should half be a bit mushy from cooking them down for a while with a rich dark color , I believe they need a food tour of NOLA to realize they are failing massively ! don’t waste your money at this subpar restaurant. I travel to New Orleans quite often this is not Cajun cooking ! I was really sad I was hoping for restaurant in Huntsville for Cajun food but nope ! Don’t waste your time and money ! Unless you just want beignets

kierstyn blevins

Such an amazing experience! I loved the food but I absolutely adored the staff and the environment! I can't remember my waitresses name but she was so friendly. The atmosphere was one the of the best. I enjoyed my visit so much and will most definitely be going again!

Sharon Delaune

Beignet's were not at tasty as I can get in New Orleans but if you've never had the best then they will do.

Shakira Grimes

Pretty good for not being in NOLA, in NOLA they are crispy on outside and soft on inside but here they just soft but still good.

angel hallmark

I absolutely love the Beignet Cafe in Madison!! I love that I can get a yummy latte and with beignetschocolate gravy and enjoy entertainment or just great company!! Amazing crew of wait staff and the kitchen serves up some delicious food!!
