Yay Beignet

I came here on a rainy day and it was the coziest coffee shop I could have picked! There was light jazz in the background, warm lights that feel like home and the delicious smell of beignets baking in the oven. I actually only came in for a coffee and to get some work done (yes they have wifi!!!) but I had to try a beignet after seeing how fresh they looked. The barista was so kind and offered me one to try and I ended up getting 3 more because it was SO fluffy, soft and perfectly sweet. Highly recommend this spot, it’s such a gem and just full of good energy ❤️ PS I do not say this lightly — don’t sleep on the caramel sauce!! Definitely worth getting it on the side.

My wife and I had a taste for beignets and Yay came up in several different searches. We decided to give them a try since we've never had Ethiopian coffee which was a featured item. I have had beignets in New Orleans from the famous establishments and in my opinion, these are some of the best beignets I've ever had.😋 We ordered an assortment of; plain-no powder confection sugar, glazed, and traditional powder confection. We first tasted the plain beignets with no confection sugar. They were so delicious light and fluffy, we did not need any dipping sauce. The glaze and powder confection only added to the delicious delight. Let me say the glaze enhanced the beignets flavor without tasting like glazed donuts. The traditional powder confection beignets totally satisfied our cravings. We also tried the bourbon praline dip and it was a complimentary delight. The Ethiopian coffee was also very good non acidic and smooth. We were served by the owners who were very pleasant and inviting. I highly recommend giving them a try when in the mood for some good coffee and treats.

Warm fluffy and delicious beignets with choice of several toppings. On Saturdays at 11:00 there is an Ethiopian cultural demonstration of slow roasting & and serving their coffee. Wonderful 1st visit!

An amazing place for a fresh fluffy beignet. I was scared it would be too oily or too heavy but it wasn’t! Literally so fluffy and soft. 10/10 recommend trying out if you’re around the area

As a native New Orleanian .. I didn’t want to like these because I got to stay loyal to Cafe Du Monde!! But this was so delicious and reminded me of home! The quality and reasonable prices were a plus— I really love the atmosphere and it felt like i been knew them! I used to drive from Gwinnett to Macon jus to get them— that should tell you all you need to know!❤️❤️

Delicious. Hot. Fresh. Soft. A perfect beignet that would make New Orleans proud. I forgot to order the signature dipping sauce, but it was super without it. Welcome to Hapeville and I hope you stay and expand your business. By the way, the beignets were a good size. I considered buying 6 because I thought they would be bite-sized, but 3 is a single serving.

Very cute space shared with an ice cream shop. The bengiets we fresh and made to order. The special dipping sauces were delicious. I had the salted caramel and the raspberry ones. I got the 3pack and was basically $2 each. Will be back for a lil splurge every now and then. Would recommend you give it a try.

I seen this place on TikTok so I already knew i was heading over since it's not far from my Work. I pop into the Small yet Cozy business letting them know " I seen you guys on TT, I Love Beignet(s) I haven't had them in a while because I only had them in New Orleans, BUT I HEARD YOU'RE GOOD SO I'M HERE" I know, run on sentence right? ✅️ Smikes across the board so now its time to order. I say well 1rst off ; I know I need a dozen because a couple isn't gonna do 🤣 He also tells me he has sauces to go with ...Bourbon, Caramel, Strawberry - Let me try all 3 please 🙋🏽‍♀️ While waiting becausethe Beignet(s) are made to order, I chat a little because I already know this won't be my 1stvtime here. I learn about their homemade ice creams & Ethiopian Coffee. When I say this I mean it with my entire being. I felt welcomed. This is definitely a gem 💎 in the city of Hapeville & its not to be missed. O & the Beignet.....SUCCULENT!!! They were hot , fresh & had the right amount of powder on them. Hands down the best! The price was reasonable & Yes I'll be back!! Thank you!!
