Mo’Bay Beignet Co. Memphis — Restaurant in Memphis

Pros: The restaurant looks great! Perfect atmosphere. The beignets are legit. Born and raised in NOLA, raised on beignets. I was just in N O and had terrible beignets. Mo Bay had perfect beignets; good sized, light crisp on the outside and ever so slightly chewy on the inside. They powder them for you but they did a good job. They came out hot and fresh. Looked great, tasted great! The cashier was very nice. The coffee was good. Cons: I understand that you just opened and so I give these criticisms with that understanding and I look forward to amending my review to 5 stars. However, long line that moved slowly. The beignets took 15 minutes and the cafe au lait took 20! You can keep customers waiting for beignets IF they have coffee to enjoy while they wait. Maybe your coffee is special, but it’s hard to imagine that it takes 5 minutes longer than the beignets. But we sat at a table for 15 minutes with nothing. NOLA beignet shops give you a small glass or cup of water for while you. You sell bottled water. That’s probably a reasonable thing to do in Mobile because coastal water isn’t the best, but our tap water is better than bottled water so a water dispenser would be nice. Coffee comes in paper cups. I’m always going to want a mug. I’ll pay more if necessary. It would be great if you gave the patrons a number tent or something so we know that you haven’t forgotten about us and so the wait staff don’t need to yell our names twice.

So very glad you’re here! ...

was looking forward to visiting for first time with a friend . we ordered iced coffee , chai tea , 8ct beignets and syrup . with 20 percent tip total 20.40 ( which was fine ) owner came to table to double check that it was chai we wanted . minute or two later coffee and beignets came to table . we waited for the Chai that never came . Once food and coffee was done we wanted to leave ... went to counter where the owner and another employee were on their cell phones . we asked for refund. They simply forgot the order to make , it wasn't even busy but no biggie mistakes happen . the refund given was 3.30 ( doesn't make sense cause the two tea prices on menu was 4.00 and 5.00 . i asked the owner and he said we were only charged for regular tea !!!!!! i knew we were being conned out of a couple bucks , cmon folks y'all can do better and be honest ! The parking situation then Climbing that hill on the drive just to get inside is a deterrent as it is but then to not even get the correct refund was kind of insulting . i always believe in giving a first time visit a second or third chance ( and i probably will here reluctantly but probably will ) I just find that my first experience was based on...

I tried this place out this morning and it is perfect. It’s such a cute place. I tried the Mini Beignets with the buttercream and the cinnamon icings in addition to the iced mocha coffee and it was so delicious. The person who was working the cash register was very friendly and welcoming. They text you when your order is ready. Truthfully this place is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert beignets. I could eat them everyday. They have a variety of coffees and flavors. They beignet mixes and other merchandise. I got a beignet mix for someone out of state so they can try it and I am definitely going to visit again so I can buy myself one. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I wish I found this place sooner. The shirts are so clever and funny. I highly recommend giving this place a try especially if you have a sweet tooth. Oh and another bonus, they host trivia nights, they had a flyer for a Star Wars trivia...
