Best Beignets in Baton Rouge

Beignets are a signature breakfast, snack, and dessert in Louisiana and are considered a must-have next to your morning coffee in Baton Rouge. Whether you're looking to find your daily source of breakfast beignets or you want to try these amazing pastries for the first time, Baton Rouge is bursting with opportunities. But where are the best beignets in Baton Rouge? Only a local can tell you after having tried them all over town.

There are five top-ranked places for beignets in Baton Rouge, whether they're the main menu item or a local secret hidden on the dessert list. From coffee shops to brunch spots, here's where you can find the absolute best beignets in Baton Rouge.

Beignet Baton Rouge

You know the beignets are good when they're on the marquee. Beignet Baton Rouge is a breakfast and coffee spot that specializes in huge, fluffy beignets. You can order three, five, a dozen, or meals designed with beignets in mind. Each beignet is bigger than your hand, and there is a powdered sugar shaker right there on the tables.

The Beignet breakfast is two eggs, two sausages, two bacon, and two enormous beignets instead of toast or biscuits. The beignet breakfast sandwich is exactly what it sounds like, built within a beignet sliced in half for an amazing burst of sweet and savory with every bite. There are also beignet bites and beignet fingers, and the coffee also happens to be amazing.

Coffee Call

The most well-known place for beignets is Coffee Call. People come for the coffee and stay for the beignets. This hot-spot coffee shop is one of the most popular places in town, where the beignets are made hot and fresh all day. The beignets at the Coffee Call are denser than other recipes, but they are delicious and filling and always hot. They also have beignet fingers and a number of tasty brunch options, including po boy sandwiches and, of course, coffee.

The Vintage

The Vintage is a bar, coffee shop, and cafe. It's one of those unique little venues that only the locals truly understand. They serve hearty breakfast and brunch (including shrimp and grits), late-night snacks, charcuterie boards, flatbread sandwiches, and truffle fries. They mix cocktails and make flavored coffees and teas. But you're coming for the beignets.

The Vintage is a legend for its Beignet Flight - a local specialty featuring three large beignets, each topped with a different flavorful sauce. The Flight can be found in several restaurants around town, but the Vintage does it best.

They've got an entire menu section dedicated to beignets, including beignet bites, one beignet, a "fancy beignet", and the Flight - served all day.

Rue Beignet

Rue Beignet does one thing and they do it well. They make their beignets fresh, and you can see them rolling out the dough in the back. Your beignets are fried to order, so they are always amazingly fresh and hot, and they microwave like a dream if you take an order to go. The owners and staff are kind and generous and will help you choose a beignet order that suits you best. And oh, there are so many options.

You can order normal large-sized beignets three at a time or a dozen. There are beignet fingers in small and large plates and even bigger boxes. There are beignet "toes" (bites) in small, large, and boxed. Top them with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, Nutella, caramel, honey, or cream cheese. You can ask for extra beignet mix powder and even a sugar shaker to go.

They also serve a lovely selection of drinks, including juice, slushes, milk, hot cocoa, hot tea, and coffee.

Another Broken Egg Cafe

Another Broken Egg Cafe is a breakfast place in true Baton Rouge style. With two locations in the city (and two more in Lafayette and New Orleans), they're doing well and expanding on their locally earned success. But what about the beignets?

Another Broken Egg has a full breakfast menu, but they are best known for amazing beignets and beignet bites. The beignets are freshly made and always soft and delicious. They also have a wonderful tradition of offering a free order of beignets to first-time customers. So, if you've never tried beignets before and want to try them for free, find a Broken Egg and let them know it's your first time. They'll treat you right, and you will discover why locals can't get enough of these fluffy sugar-coated pastries.
