Rue Beignet
18135 E Petroleum Dr, Baton Rouge, LA
Crema's Take
“Rue Beignet is a beloved mom-and-pop spot where the owner Yen treats every customer like family, going above and beyond with touches like custom-shaped beignets for birthdays and a genuinely generous hand with the powdered sugar. Their beignets have earned serious devotion—reviewers consistently call them the best they've had, with that perfect balance of crispy and pillowy that makes them worth seeking out even outside the French Quarter. It's the kind of place where the warmth of the owner and the quality of the pastries matter infinitely more than the casual setup, making it a true Baton Rouge gem for a quick, joyful bite.”

Family loved this place. The owner was awesome and so friendly. The beignets were awesome and he doesn't hold back on the powdered sugar. If you like beignets, this is your place!
Rue Beignet was a surprisingly flavorful place to get good Louisiana beignets outside of the French Quarter. The service was awesome. The owner, Yen, (¥) was personable and made sure my hospitality experience and tasty food order was top notch. I ordered the beignets and a hot latte and all were made to perfection (finger beignets were also added to my order at no charge). When my order arrived at my table, the presentation was so beautiful , I, at first, did not want to eat them because they looked to pretty. 🤣 Anyway, I would definitely return when I’m back in Prairieville.
You have not lived until you have had these Beignets. They are easily the best that I've ever had, no competition. The Man working today I believe it the owner and he is so polite and generous. He even gave us some free fingers for the wait. The place is so cute and quaint and filled with local art that is for sale by local artists. What really sets this place apart is that the artists get 100% of the proceeds. The music selection was great and the bathrooms were immaculate. I am making it a tradition to come here anytime we are in BR.
Cute mom and pop place. Don’t expect some fancy set up. It’s either for a quick bite there or pick up. The beignets tasted great. The owner is so cute and friendly.
Today is my little girl’s birthday, we went in and ordered a small order of toes, and the owner ended up making her a beignet in the shape of a 9 and another beignet with a candel in it, he played Happy Birthday for her on the piano and sang, he also lit the candle for her to blow out. The beignets are always delicious and he is always beyond nice whenever we go but this definitely topped everything! Thank you so much for making my sweet girl’s day even more special ❤️
