I had the pleasure of going to Beignet Done That in Baton Rouge on Friday, September 30, 2022, around lunch time. Every time I am in this area, I HAVE to go to this fabulous shop! No trip is complete without coming here. I ordered- to go- two flights (I special ordered all dipping sauces), Biscuits & gravy, small vanilla milkshake, & a Hot CafĂ© Au Lait. Please donât go to this shop without at least getting a Beignet. They are fabulous, piping hot, soft & pillowy, with mounds of powdered sugar.
Yâall, I didnât think you could improve upon the perfection of their Beignets alone, but then I met their sauces. BOOM! You can tell a lot of work was put into their sauce creations. Staff was kind to label each sauce container for me. Sauces include, drum roll - white chocolate, seasonal flavor pumpkin spice insert drool here, chocolate, strawberry, Raspberry, caramel, honey, blueberry, & matcha.
For your traditional favorite dipping choices, you canât go wrong with the white chocolate, caramel, honey, & chocolate. White chocolate sauce was creamy & smooth. One of my favorite smelling sauces was the strawberry one, & it really tasted like a strawberry shortcake.
All of the dipping sauces were fabulous, but the ones that stood out the most to me because of their unique magnificence were definitely the pumpkin spice & Matcha. The pumpkin spice is absolutely superb, the smell out of this world, has a lovely taste of cinnamon, is perfectly spiced⊠Regarding their gem of the Macha sauce- I wish I could give all readers a virtual sample through this review- it was perfect! I was initially reluctant to try the Matcha sauce as Iâm often not fond of matcha/green tea flavor being too strong. But I read review after review raving about the Matcha sauce, I became curious. How they managed to get that perfect green tea twang with creamy sweetness remains a mystery to me. Ever have those âOMGâ moments with food & that moment where it is like a chorus of angels is singing in the background? I had multiple of those while sampling!
They even have milkshakes, & I was thrilled! The vanilla milkshake was very good. As for the Biscuits & gravy, I thank the staff that I did not have to request to please put the gravy on the side as I am in my car & didnât want it to spill. Biscuits were moist, warm, soft but not chewy (thank you), nice & fluffy. CafĂ© Au Lait was hot & had a nice & strong flavor.
The interior of the shop is warm & inviting with tables & sofas. The dĂ©cor is friendly. The location is perfect & easy to find with GPS. Yâall, if only I lived here locally- I could have an excuse to do my weekly Walmart battles & reward myself at the end of my struggle with piping hot beignets every week! Plenty of public parking is available. As always, service was fast, friendly, & professional. Every time I go, I am constantly amazed how the staff go beyond the beyond to give their customers the absolutely best service possible. I always feel like a queen!
I love I didnât have to ask for extra powdered sugar, as staff are so kind to include it In one of my pictures, you will note a drink holder. Usually, I would have to order at least 3 drinks to get that at other shops, but the staff at Beignet Done That in Baton Rouge was so kind to give it to me for only two drinks. Yet again, I didnât have to ask for it. So, without asking, I got extra powder sugar containers, excellent service, a drink holder, biscuit gravy put in a sealed container, labeling of all the dipping sauces, etc. A+ staff. A+ experience. Isnât the name of the shop perfectly witty? Please forgive some of the photos I took as I was so enjoying sampling my wares I ate too slow & some of the sugar on the beignets had time to melt, lol. For those of us like myself with small bladders, the shop has a lovely & clean single unisex bathroom stall. I love the food, the location, the icon, the friendly staff, the great pricing. This was a fabulous experience, & I canât wait to...
   Read moreBeignet Done That in Baton Rouge is a coffee shop that has a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. The shop was clean, and this was the perfect place to relax with both tables and sofas to choose to relax on.
Today, I wanted a variety of treats to sample, so I got the hot White Mocha Latte, the Avocado Toast, the Finger beignets, and a large order of Beignets. I could write a novel alone about the beignets- they were perfectly hot, fluffy, and I was in perfect sugar paradise! The delicious and mouthwatering beignets I had were better than a lot of the beignet shops I heard about in New Orleans (For example, the Beignets I got today were better than any I ever had at any CafĂ© Beignets, Cafe Du Monde, and several other popular beignet chains that are considered to be famous in the New Orleans area). I thought the Beignets from Beignet Done That in Baton Rouge were far superb to any other I had ever had. Everything I had was hot, fresh, and delicious- I have no complaints. Beignet from Beignet Done That in Baton Rougeâs Avocado Toast was a luscious delight- yummy with the crispiness of the toast. The smell of the beignets, that is a treat by itself! The bathroom was nice and clean, too.
The location of Beignet Done That in Baton Rouge couldn't be better as it is right beside Walmart. What a great place to go after doing some grocery shopping next-door! You don't have to worry about parking as there is plenty of it publicly. It was easy to find, and GPS took me right to it. Staff was very friendly and professional. I can't...
   Read moreI tried 'Beignet Done That' on Saturday morning OMW to NOLA. I am from NOLA so naturally I will compare these beignets to Café de Monde, however, I really enjoyed 'Beignet Done That.' Not too thick which is what I prefer; better than Café de Monde but not better than the beignets from my high school. 'Beignet Done That' gives just enough powder sugar and the beignets are a good size for one serving. I will be back...TODAY!!! Thank you for opening up in the neighborhood...not that I drove cross town to College Dr. for any...lol (seriously). UPDATE from today's order: I ordered CRISPY which was not as crispy as I would have liked so next time I will say CRISPY CRISPY, however, the beignets were piping hot AND I was given an extra cup of powdered sugar which was needed and unexpected. I do believe they should start doing that on TO-GO orders. Lastly, I underestimated the wait-time so I stepped outside into my car to continue working and when I looked up, the customer service guy/cashier was walking towards my car with my order. I really appreciated that nice gesture. I will definitely be...
