👍👍 The beignets were excellent! We dipped ours in the bourbon praline sauce and it left us wanting more than the six we originally bought! Add some excellent coffee on top of all that, and you have the perfect mid morning snack. 😊 People often mention beignets, coffee, good, amazing, fish, fresh, breakfast, recommend,

    Had the beignets and fish on 11/05, and it was good. The beignets are a little too doughy for my taste, but I enjoyed trying it. Appreciate the fact that they made it fresh to order, but that also means longer wait times. Guess you can't have the best of both worlds.

    I had been looking for a beignet place in Atlanta and now I have my go-to place. Good size and fluffiness and came out nice and hot. We also tried the Cajun chicken biscuit. It was a little smaller than I expected (hand in picture is child hand) but it was really good flavor. Cajun-y but not too spicy. Nice seating that was kid friendly.

    When you fly from the Midwest just to try these… no I don’t actually do that however these were very close to where I was staying and I had to try them. For some reason I’ve been craving these ever since I watch the movie the Princess and the frog 🐸. The texture is very soft and fluffy and is eaten warm with powdered sugar on top. They are baked fresh so you got a wait a little bit for it to cool down. Owner is very friendly and gave us a choice of sauces and we chose chocolate. They are very close if not the same exact taste texture and shape of the west African sweet called mandazi. I’ve been here 3 times and I will definitely visit again before I fly back home.

    I was a beignet virgin… and then we strolled upon this place. I got a 12 oz coffee with a box of beignets. They were amazing!!!! So light and fluffy and delicious and an amazing experience. We were checked on multiple times, the owner was so kind! The coffee was equally amazing! They have vanilla, hazelnut, salted caramel for flavors and a variety of milk options for the dairy free folks. Amazing experience!

    The beignets are very good and made fresh right in front of you. However I can't recommend the coffee, it's all premade drip in a thermos, and the resulting drink is very weak & watery.

    Yay Beignet is such a vibe! They have perfected the recipe for fried catfish. The catfish and grits were the perfect combination of creamy and crispy. The biscuits are everything you need; flaky, moist, and a perfect companion for the fish. The beignet bites were amazing in both the chocolate sauce and the cinnamon sauce. Last but most important, the people were nice. Good customer service is hard to come by and Yay Beignet’s staff understands the assignment. I can’t wait to visit again!

    This is a phenomenal place to have a nice hearty breakfast. The food is flavorful and the teas are tasty. Out of the 7 day we stayed here, we ate here 4 of the days. Definitely worthy of anybody business that is in Georgia. My wife is a Beignet fanatic and she couldn’t stop eating then even on her strict diet lol.

    I was so disappointed. Was really expecting to get a New Orleans shrimp po-boy and some beignets. Their beignets were cold but are ok. They served me a burnt hoagie roll with burnt popcorn shrimp and limp lettuce.

    I found this little gem after seeing it on instagram. The beignets were larger than I expected, made fresh to order and very good! Then I ordered a dirty chai tea which was equally yummy... But then I was offered a very bespoke cup of Ethiopian coffee that took the experience from 4-5! The location needs work, however the food and hospitality won me over!

    Great vibes! My egg and cheese biscuit was delicious. You can post them on your social and get 3 free beignets! Staff had incredible service!

    George was so kind! The place is very easy to find with signs outside and jazzy music that pulls you into New Orleans before you even step into the place! My friends it is super important to read the reviews and go with your gut when ordering! I came for the beignets but I left with the Cajun fish and grits as well! I am SO thrilled I went with my gut because the texture of the grits is amazing, the fish fry is on point, and the cajun sauce has the perfect balance of spice to compliment the other layers of flavors that quite literally made me do a little dance! If you don’t know what to get, definitely leave with the cajun fish and grits! The beignets are so so fluffy and surprisingly not greasy despite just being fried! I appreciate the generosity of the powdered sugar and the slight crunch of the golden outside. Very satisfying brunch!!

    I went to Yay Beignet for some morning remote work. It’s a great place to to have a morning coffee, delicious beignets, and get some telecommute work done. The server was super nice. The locations also shares a business with other great food items such as ice cream, fresh juice, biscuits, etc!

  • 2/5 Riley H. 10 months ago on Google
    I was honestly disappointed by this place. I’ve heard such good things about it, but I didn’t have the best experience. Went for breakfast and got a breakfast sandwich, beignets, and iced coffee. The breakfast sandwich was okay, but it was definitely just a Pillsbury biscuit. The iced coffee was extremely watered down, like they just pour hot coffee over ice. The beignets were just okay! They were really dense and bread-like and lacking in flavor. The dip was good but definitely just from a squeeze bottle. Nothing here wowed us or was worth the price.

    An actual gem!!! The guys working were so kind and attentive. The beignets were amazing, like so good! Highly recommend. We only had beignets this time but will be back for the other items.

    The fish and grits was so good! I honestly think it was some of the best fried fish I have ever had. It was crispy and flavorful. And of course, you have to get the beignets! The folks working were so kind and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    We had excellent customer service from George and our beignet's came out fresh and hot. The peach tea and raspberry tea are also refreshing and perfectly sweet.

    I had Yay Beignet's light and fluffy beignets, Ethiopia's Finest Gourmet Coffee, and breakfast right on the Atlanta Beltline! I elevated my beignet experience with their signature strawberry dipping sauces. They also have chocolate. Yay Beignet has a full breakfast menu, lunch, and dinner, all made fresh to order. What I tried: Beignets with Signature strawberry dipping sauce Old School Hot Link Biscuit Breakfast Burrito

    The beignets here are so light and fluffy with a warming spiced nutmeg flavor. The nutmeg flavor is light but adds a delicious depth. The beignets were $5 for 3 large beignets. The ethiopian coffee was delicious as well. There are non dairy milk options like oat milk. The owner was so welcoming and kind! Highly recommend this cafe for a quick sweet treat, breakfast or lunch. There are many beverage options and lunch options as well.

    The food and energy at this place was great! The beignets were the best I’ve had, and the praline bourbon and strawberry dipping sauces were to die for. 10/10 recommend, the food is made with care and love!
