Happi Pappi Beignets — Restaurant in Athens

This food truck was slinging beignets at the Mardi Gras event in MidCity Huntsville. While it's no Cafe du Monde, we enjoyed the order of beignets we got!

I'm not sure if they do anything other than beignets. For this event, they were offering beignets (in sets of 3 or 6) as well as hot chocolate and coffee. You could get different flavors of powdered sugar on your beignets, which was unique -- I think they had chocolate, cinnamon, and lemon flavors. We stuck with regular powdered sugar, though.

These beignets are a little longer and denser than the ones I've had in NOLA. They had a nice, faintly lemony taste, as well as some pleasant almond extract flavors. The service was friendly and the beignets came out fast for everyone, despite the crazy lines.

Overall, a fun food truck concept and a good place to grab a treat if you see it...

Beignets = 5 stars, customer service = 0! I had been waiting for so long to try this food truck's beignets, but every event that they attended, I was working. I was at the amphitheater with my daughter for the Halloween event, and as I was standing in the line waiting on the haunted house I spotted the truck. I was sooooo excited...until I actually got to the truck to order 😒 I wasn't greeted by the guy..he just looked at me like I was disturbing him 🙄 then the lady didn't say a word either. She just threw my beignets on the counter. I'm big on customer service. Treat the people who are shopping with you with a bit of respect instead of acting like we're disturbing you. I won't be spending my money with this truck any more, no matter how good the beignets are. Customer service is very important to me. If you're so unhappy with your job,...

My hubby stopped here while he was out running errands and picked up a few beignets to bring home. He ordered 3 with regular powdered sugar and 3 lemon sugar. The gentleman that helped him actually threw in an extra lemon, which was a nice bonus! We tried them as soon as he got home with them, and we weren't disappointed! They were soft and billowy and cooked perfectly. They were nice and large, and had plenty of sugar on top. We had never had the flavored sugar type before, and we both liked them a lot....just the right amount of tangy lemon to offset the sweet sugar. The prices were great (about $12 for 5 ), and they packed them well for take-out. Can't wait to go back and try their lattes and other...
