    Six beignets
    Lyric R.

    Delicious beignets that may actually be better than Cafe du Monde. Sweet, affordable, fluffy, and they have good coffee too. The only reason it's 4 stars is because service was slow and the place smelled kind of mildewy. It wasn't really bad but the smell was a little off-putting.

    We stopped into Mo'Bay Beignet while downtown and it ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I really like Mobile as a city. It feels like a junior New Orleans in some ways, but with its own distinct Gulf Coast personality. One common thread along the coast is beignets, not the frozen novelty kind, but real New Orleans style beignets done right. That is exactly what we were looking for. We made a beeline for Mo'Bay late in the day, close to closing time. There was no crowd, but they were more than happy to make a dozen to go for us. Powdered sugar everywhere, just as it should be. Worth every dollar. The atmosphere inside was also very nice and inviting, even during a quick stop. If you are in Mobile and have any interest in beignets at all, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended.

    Good beignets! I loved the sauce options for dipping. They are freshly made. The service was okay. It was a quiet and laid back spot with plenty of space for sitting with low music.

    MO's Beignet - A Downtown Mobile Gem A charming little spot in Downtown Mobile, MO's Beignet is as cute on the inside as it is delicious. Full of that welcoming Southern charm, it offers beignets at a very reasonable price--just $6 for three standard-size pieces, with mini options available too. They come out hot and generously dusted with powdered sugar. The texture is a bit denser than the classic New Orleans beignet, but still tasty and satisfying. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Mobile and craving a sweet Southern treat!

    Beignets are some of our favorite desserts and we always get them in New Orleans. We were excited to try this place on our trip to Mobile and we were not disappointed. They make excellent beignets here and I would say they are just as good as Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. We enjoyed trying the sauces with them as well, especially the cinnamon, which paired really well with the beignets. Service was good and there's plenty of tables and a sink to wash your hands, which is always nice when there's lots of powered sugar involved. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys beignets!

    Been here so much and have loved every time! This is the only place in Mobile you can get a good beignet, and it never disappoints. So fluffy and their cinnamon syrup is a great addition to the sweet powdered sugar. Service is always so friendly, and the vibes are definitely more casual. Come after sports, during art walk, whenever really

    This beignet shop is so cute with a nice and spacious seating area. The cashier was helpful with answering our questions. We ordered 3 beignets and they were delicious! Super light and fluffy with tons of powdered sugar. It was the perfect desert after our heavy meal

    So amazing! My husband and I agree they are better than Cafe DuMonde in New Orleans! So fresh, much friendlier service, overall better experience.

    It's kind of hard to make fried dough special, but Mo'Bay serves it up HOT with a hearty helping of powdered sugar and specialty syrups making it a nice afternoon treat!

    Mo'bay Beignet was a lovely little spot!! We were walking around downtown Mobile and knew we wanted to try out some local foods and grab a bag of local coffee! We got coffee to go, and then sat and ate beignets with a sweet tea for each of us. Very tasty and just enough food for a good afternoon snack!

    Love the caption above the archway before you go to the ordering station ahead.

    This place was a must stop during my visit to Mobile. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to visit! I loved the ambiance. It had a combined industrial and historic feel. I had beignets in their dining room rather than grab a bag to go. I recommend eating your beignets in the dining room. Try to grab a seat at the front window so you have an opportunity to people watch. Service was good. Staff was friendly when I ordered. Beignets didn't come quickly, of course, as they're made fresh to order. As with any other beignet place, DO NOT wear a black short or any other dark color. You will have very noticeable powder sugar all over you. The beignets here are delicious! They're made from scratch, all day and every day. They have quite a story on how the company was founded. Go to their website and read "The Story of Mo Bay." As you will begin to read, sometimes you have an idea and sometimes an idea has you. I completely agree! I'm also for supporting local businesses so stop by Mo' Bay Beignet if you're ever in Mobile! Enjoy those beignets and watch out for that storm of powder sugar falling from somewhere..... Maybe somewhere above?

Very warm feeling with indoor and outdoor seating. The pastries and sandwiches make this a good place for breakfast or lunch also.

    Carpe Diem is a charming coffee shop set in a quaint old Victorian house, and is popular in Mobile…read morefor a reason. They roast their beans in house, and the staff is always friendly. For instance, advised that my daughter was shy when the kid hesitated to order one day, the barista brightened up even more and put the girl at ease. Whether their coffee is good or not is completely subjective. I think it's good overall, but it might not be my first choice in town. But it's made with care, and as mentioned, roasted in house. Its popularity speaks to its quality. They also have a very good selection of pastries and other goodies to accompany your coffee, including a Mobile institution--cheesecake from a local company called Cotton Blues. The only gripe I have about Carpe Diem is their seating setup. There simply isn't enough of it. That said, I don't know how they could use the space more efficiently, since the cafe is small as it is. I prefer more private seating, which in other coffee houses I've been to has been accomplished with the judicious use of plants or high-backed chairs. The biggest component of the crowded seating is due to students from Springhill College across the street. Today, for instance, my husband and I were unable to find any seating at all. Even on the days when we can find seating, being entirely surrounded by people working quietly on their laptops feels awkward and lends a library-like feel to the atmosphere. It feels rude to have a conversation at a regular level. I feel like I'm intruding. I don't know how a coffee shop should handle this conundrum, as it's really not good business practice to limit customers' time while there, or to turn away clientele, even in an attempt to please all of their customers. There is already a back room which seems to be an unofficial space dedicated to students, but the overflow still takes up much of the cafe. That said, I enjoy Carpe Diem and going there is a nice little treat. I would definitely recommend it.
