How are beignets so good? They are so simple, but when done right—served warm—they are incredible. That’s exactly what Ben’YaYs is serving up every day. A touch of New Orleans on King Street in Old Town Alexandria, this small corner shop keeps it simple and does it right. With great coffee, fresh-baked beignets, and an array of sauces for dipping, you know exactly what to expect when you walk through the door.
The shop itself is quaint, with a small space up front where you can place your order at the counter. If you’d like to sit and savor your sweet treats, there’s plenty of seating in the back. The tables are perfect for relaxing, doing some work, or simply taking refuge from the weather.
The beignets come in sets of 3 or 10, with a choice between powdered sugar or cinnamon. And for those who enjoy a little extra indulgence, there are dipping sauces—chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry. While these warm delicacies are delightful on their own, a great cup of coffee alongside them is always a welcome addition. Ben’YaYs offers a full coffee menu, along with full Ethiopian beans to take home.
King Street in Old Town has no shortage of options for coffee and something sweet, but if you’re looking for a sweet, delicious treat with your coffee, or just feel like treating yourself to a taste of New Orleans, Ben’YaYs is definitely worth checking out.
