Visiting the area from out of state and had to try a Beignet...the reviews didn't lie, BEST EVER! Paired with the most amazing chickery coffee! The owner was so welcoming, friendly and so happy to have us visit. I highly recommend to dine in so you get the full experience and entertainment is a keeper!!

The gentleman that was there taking orders and I'm the kitchen was super nice. In between orders, I saw him back in the kitchen rolling the dough and frying the beignets. They were fresh and tasted amazing! They were definitely made with love. I recommend trying them with cinnamon sugar. It was quite busy when I was there and it seemed like the one-man team had it under control. I will come by again when I am driving through.

Fresh beignets, fried to-order in a cozy cafe. If any manage to survive long enough to cool down, don't throw them out because they are hard. 20 seconds in a microwave is all it takes to bring them back is what the generous owner told me as he handed me an extra bag of fingers.

This is one of the cleanest beignet (and/or doughnut) places that we have visited. Their freshly fried beignets are consistently good quality. Not a huge shop but comfortable enough to sit and eat, although you can get paper bags for take out. It's a cozy and friendly place if you like to take kids (or yourself) for a sweet treat.

Was very impressed! The beignets were delicious. The server was so polite; brought our coffee and beignets to our table and left our tab open in case we wanted anything else. He also served some lagniappe beignet fingers, and toes! Wonderful experience and will be a regular patron.

Rue Beignet in Baton Rouge serves up some of the best beignets in town, made fresh to order so they’re always hot and ready to enjoy—just the way they should be, especially with a cafe au lait. The beignets here stand out from other spots thanks to their warm, crisp exterior and soft, airy center. Adding to the charm, the friendly owner often entertains guests with impromptu juggling, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere. With hours that stretch into the early evening, Rue Beignet is the perfect place to grab a sweet, satisfying snack after dinner.

Yen did amazing, thank you again! Eating these made me feel so nostalgic. They were so fluffy on the inside. I had authentic beignets when I was younger and my mom used to make them for me. We are passing through and I'm so glad we stopped here. We got the dozen. I highly recommend!
