WOW...food, INCREDIBLE, service, INCREDIBLE, music, VIBEY. We planned to take it to go, but decided to stay and eat, we're glad we did. We got the savory combo w/ the Berbere chicken beignet & the Oxtail beignet. It was so good I had to stop from finishing it, because I want some again for later! Lol Major flavor on both of those, and whatever sauce it comes with is tasty too. Dessert: The classic beignets & a bourbon praline caramel sauce on the side, OUT OF THIS WORLD. We also tasted some of Jake's Ice cream while we waited, and that was great too, the banana pudding flavor & the mint cookies & cream were our favorite's that were available, just didn't want to ruin our meal and commit to a full cup lol. Can't wait to come back! read more

So tasty! So delicious! Yay Beignet is a fusion spot that brings together beignets with other cultures such as Ethiopian and Jamaican. I got the Ethiopian berbere chicken beignet and it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken was slightly spicy and super flavorful and the beignet was cooked to perfection - not greasy, not too thick, but also not too light. My sister got the egg and cheese one which she liked but said she wouldn't necessarily get again. They were out of their regular coffee but they had Ethiopian espresso and were able to make an americano using it which she enjoyed. read more

Better than Cafe Du Monde? I ordered the classic powdered sugar beignets. They were soft and airy with a hint of nutmeg. These beignets tasted like they were made with love and passion. Service was nice and friendly. The cafe didn't have anything noteworthy in terms of decor, but I appreciated the indoor and outdoor seating. If you have a sweet tooth, Yay Beignet is a must! read more

Do NOT order the iced coffee. It's essentially beige ice water. Literally the worst I'd ever had. So much for coming back to try the beignets. read more

Very friendly staff walked me through the menu as it was my first time. I got an order of the original beignets those came with a side of caramel dipping sauce. I also tried the oxtail beignet. If you are looking to replicate a taste of New Orleans this isn't it, but they are still delicious. These beignets have more of a nutmeg flavor. The oxtail beignet was very flavorful and spicy, but the beignet itself wasn't cooked all the way through like it was too thick. I'll definitely be back to try the other beignet flavors and Ethiopian coffee. read more

Yay Beignet has moved to Hapeville. They offer great Ethiopian Coffee and beignets. The original is always a good choice, and make sure to add the drizzle. They also have glazed that melt in your mouth for a limited time. If you stop by on Saturday, they host an Ethiopian coffee Ceremony. The owners are always pleasant and welcoming! read more

Fantastic place. Wonderful people. Good food. Nice little seating area. Looks like they have ice cream as well. Will definitely stop by again in the area. read more

They are no longer on the Beltline, they're in Hapeville so the address needs to be updated. The beignets are actually beignets! Not puff pastry dough pretending to be beignets. They are cooked to order, delicious, and you don't have to beg for powdered sugar! I love that you get good customer service on every visit. I drive from Decatur to Hapeville to get them so take that as you will. read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place so I decided to come in and check it out. I ordered the Cajun chicken biscuit. it was so good I ordered two. Also ordered the beignets and breakfast potatoes. The beignets were pretty good. They came out warm with lots of powdered sugar. It's a quaint restaurant with plenty of seating. Upon entering, you place your order and they bring it to your table. The service was quick and the staff is friendly. There's a small parking lot in the front of the building and it is also located on the beltline. I will definitely be back to try the shrimp and grits and chai latte. read more

Hidden location inside a shared building across from Krog street market...right next to the belt line. Friendly staff. Breakfast, lunch and a couple vegan options available. *Fish biscuit- delicious *Beignets- average *Strawberry Tea- good *Chai latte- good *Cajun fries- although good wasn't very 'cajun' seasoned. Just tasted (and looked) like regular fries. *Vegan Rueben- nice crispy bread. However heavily doused with Tabasco sauce, topped with American cheese and lightly seasoned tofu. The tofu was steamed (maybe). Wish it was at least cooked or fried. It made for a very mushy sandwich. Overall it didn't actually taste like a Rueben. read more

Super hole on the wall. My only issue is that it really looks inconspicuous and closed if they didn't have a small sign saying it was open. It was also kind of hard to see it pop up when searching for places to go eat or grab a bite at. It's not glitz and glame but the beignets come out hot and so so good. Like it's giving made fresh and fried before being dusted. You won't find a Luke warm one here. They have mult breakfast options for a quick little bite and the prices are great. The owners seem super nice and definitely give kind and bright vibes. It was a bit stuffy inside but it was summer when I was there so it's a given. read more

This was also my second time here and apart of the belt line food tour. The small dining area is just enough for a quick treat. The owners were very nice and we could see them prepare the food due to the open space. They are start up location which will eventually allow them to have their own space soon. The menu is full of lunch and breakfast options that we didn't try due to our tour but so much to choose and a variety of biscuit and seafood , sandwich options including vegan options. Great spot to try for sure and support a local business. read more

Step one- find your way to Yay Beignet! Step Two - Order the Hot Link Biscuit and add an egg. Step Three - Eat Step Four - Thank for for suggesting the yummiest breakfast sandwich in Atlanta.

I kept seeing this place recommended on my food delivery app, so I gave it a shot. The Shrimp Po'Boy was good, but it felt like just shrimp on bread with some hot sauce--nothing else. Plus, the bread fell apart. The chicken biscuit was dry, and the biscuit crumbled as I picked it up. But the real star was the beignets--so fluffy and sugary. I would definitely come back for those again. read more

We visited Yay Beignet this morning. We ordered a shrimp po boy, biscuit, beignet, and coffee. The shrimp po boy was good. Large enough that we split it. The shrimp were fresh and lightly fried. The sandwich dressed with tomato lettuce and hot sauce. I felt it could use a touch more hot sauce but that's just me. The beignet were good. Served hot. They offer sauces for the beignet which were interesting. I think I like them plain. The biscuit was split and toasted. It was light and wonderful. Service is polite and enthusiastic. The restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall but the food makes it well worth over looking. I wish I had thought to take photos but everything was delicious and we ate it all before we thought to take the pics. read more

The beignets here are so light and fluffy with a warming spiced nutmeg flavor. The nutmeg flavor is light but adds a delicious depth. The beignets were $5 for 3 large beignets. The ethiopian coffee was delicious as well. There are non dairy milk options like oat milk. The owner was so welcoming and kind! Highly recommend this cafe for a quick sweet treat, breakfast or lunch. There are many beverage options and lunch options as well. read more

After reading reviews I ventured out here hopeful. It may have been an "off day" but I came wanting to love this experience, expecting NOLA and was disappointed. Firstly, service is good. From the cashier to the server, we received immediate greeting, and quickly received our food. However, my cajan fish & grits were not prepared well. The fish was not freshly battered and fried- it tasted and looked like a Gordons frozen packaged fish plank that was deep fried too long. The girts were not creamy but they were seasoned well, just not creamy and thick. The Caramel Latte had too much water and the Beignets, (what I actually traveled here for) were much like a Donut/Krispy Kreme texture and not a Beignet. The location is excellent- right ON the Beltline, parking is limited. The interior could use some attention, at-least turn on the heat. It was very cold and not welcoming- and we sat on metal seats. I assume the space is shared by other vendors, who were not open at 10am, therefore the place felt a bit empty on one side or as if it were in the middle of being renovated(one area was behind curtains) Although the location accepts cash, I was informed "we will not be able to give you change"... I am forced to let you keep the change or use my card? I really hope to try this place again in the future so I can update this review. Again, it may have been a bad day. read more

Yay Beignet is tucked in the coffee shop right off the belt line & Krog Street Market. I was a bit disappointed with the inside ambiance at first glance, which I hope it's just under construction. But the beignets spoke for themselves! They were fresh, hot and the perfect consistency! I had the raspberry & chocolate sauce and they paired VERY WELL with the beignets! The service was great, beignets were delicious! I will definitely be back! read more

I stopped by Yay Beignet while walking the beltline. The food was amazing and the customer service was top tier! George, the owner, was really nice and seems to make everything with love. The remoulade that comes with the shrimp was absolutely delicious! The cajun fish and chicken biscuits tasted like something from my grandmother's house and the beignets (chef kiss) were absolutely phenomenal. It came with a strawberry and bourbon praline drizzle (not pictured). I highly enjoyed my experience there. Definitely check them out! read more

This places was so amazing!! It was highly recommended to me and was so worth it to try. The beignets were to die for! So soft, warm and delicious.

No because these beignets were literally EVERYTHING!!!!! did not plan to stop here but oh so glad we did!! These were the warmest, FRESHEST beignets I have ever had!

This is inside of a small building across from krog street market. It's unassuming, but it's home to a few small businesses. There are a handful of tables at the back if you decide to sit and eat. The staff was pleasant and clearly love what they do. I only ordered a small serving of beigneits and they were available without much delay. The food itself was OK. It was not as authentic of a taste as I'd hoped for but it wasn't bad. It gave me my sweet fix for the day and I might stop back if I'm in the area and need something sweet. read more

Strange location/layout and poor tasting beignets. The back room has cheap chairs with no AC- and the beignets were dry and dense. The thick layer of powdered sugar couldn't mask the taste of oil. Big pass! read more

I have been looking for a beignet spot on my side of town forever. Forever ever?!? Like Atlanta has everything except a bonafide beignet stand and I am so glad I found Yay Beignet. Sure I can buy a box of Cafe Du Monde mix and make my own, but for one person that just wasn't realistic anymore. Yay Beignet has a walk-up window in the Irwin Street Market and you can order beignets in a quantity of 3, 6, or 12 in a variety of drizzles. I just went with 3 of the tradition beignets with no drizzle and they were hot and delicious and did not disappoint. They also have a few beverages including coffee and tea, among other things. If you've been to Irwin Street Market before, parking can be a challenge, but there is a small parking lot out front and if you're lucky you might be able to grab a parking spot. The location along The Beltline is perfect so you can reward yourself with some sweet treats after a walk/run/bike along the Beltline. I'll certainly be back and I hope to see them around for a very long time. read more

Mannnnnn this is the definition of hidden gem in a prime location. Tucked in a corner between Jakes Ice Cream and Lingering Shade Social Club you can catch this spot right off of the beltline Me and my shorty walked in and the aroma was galvanizingno frills (which I like) and has a "you're here for the food" vibe. We chatted with a young lady at the register who actually gave us some tips of activities we could do after we ate which was great. We got an order of 6 regular sized beignets with their praline and raspberry sauces and couple drinks. Beignets we're hot, fluffy but still light, covered in powdered sugar but not too sweet. I'd recently been to Cafe Du Monde In New Orleans so I was definitely doing a mental comparison lol. All I need to say is as soon as we finished our last chews the conversation immediately went how we could have ate 6 each, well done Yay Beignet definitely will be back! read more

My friend and I came across Yay Beignet while strolling the Beltline. The customer service at this mom-and-pop shop was great - everyone's so friendly! The beignets were freshly made and tasty. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the beverages we ordered. My friend's coffee and my Cafe Au Lait were both diluted and bland. Also, my friend said her Cajun Chicken & Biscuit lacked seasoning. I'd probably drop by this shop again for only beignets. read more

Loved everything about Yay Beignet! We are from Arizona and had wanted to try Beignets while in Atlanta for the day. Yay Beignet did not disappoint. We ordered beignets, the shrimp po'boy, the chicken biscuit sandwich and an egg & cheese biscuit. The shrimp po'boy was so good, the sauce is spicy, but not to the point of setting your mouth on fire, just gives it a good flavor. Same for the chicken biscuit. My dad loved the egg & cheese biscuit too. The beignets were wonderful. Fluffy and sweet! The staff working were very kind and helpful. Parking was convenient, right in front of the restaurant. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good, quick meal! read more

I wanted to try this Ethiopian coffee and beignets. Fun fact the host shared that coffee was discovered in ethiopia and their coffee is brewed drip style wit the beans sourced from Ethiopia. They don't have the traditional espresso on regular days but hosts a traditional ethiopian espresso brewing on Saturday mornings 10-12.30 am in the sitting or dining area. The beignets is essentially a freshly fried donut covered with powdered sugar. Not as sweet and more fluffy. Will defiantly try again with friend when walking east side beltline read more

Cute cafe next to Jake's that has delicious food and coffee. The food has a Cajun influence. We had begnet and a breakfast sandwich. Lots of Cajun items on the menu that look great.

The family decided to try out this place after a yelp search for some authentic beignets. The restaurant is inside of a building where its shared units. The tables could've been cleaned off there was powdered sugar everywhere. The service was slow it took a long time for us to get our beignets and fish with shrimp and grits. The fried fish with shrimp and grits was good. The shrimps were fried with batter and the grits came in a container as well as the sauce. So, we had to mix it up. The beignets were not what I was expecting. They were put in a paper bag, so they got flatten and there was also cinnamon added to it as well. I was looking for a cafe du monde taste. I have been disappointed with everybody's beignets in GA. Would I go back, I don't know. read more

While getting brunch at Bomb Biscuit yesterday, I stopped by here to also pick up a few beignets since they are right next to each other! I stopped by around 10:15. I ordered at the little outdoor window and was the only one in line. I ordered 3 beignets to go along with a side of the bourbon praline dipping sauce. They also had chocolate and a couple others to choose from. They took quite a few minutes to come out, but I can only imagine it's because they were so fresh. They came out hot and covered in plenty of powdered sugar! They are dense and delicious! I loved the praline dipping sauce as well. Worth a try while in the area! read more
