Great breakfast burrito! We were just passing through the area and decided to stop- perfectly done and not greasy - will probably stop again on our way back through.

We’ve stopped here twice on road trips because we LOVE this place! The beignets are fabulous, the coffee is great, the service is excellent, and the story behind it says everything about what community should be. Highly recommend - and stay for some conversation. ♥️♥️

Our 1st trip here, drove 30min and didn't disappoint. The beignets were light, fresh and delicious, and I also ordered a breakfast burrito which was huge, fresh and also did not disappoint. Friendly staff and a cozy but old feel atmosphere made a great 1st trip.

Beautiful atmosphere that is bright and cheery. Staff were very helpful and happy. Food was delicious! We ordered the beignets and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was fantastic. Glad we found this cafe as we were driving by.

Feels both upscale and casual. I'd take my mother there after church or my dad there before fishing. The food and coffee were great, tables and overall café clean, and friendly & attentive staff. Worth the drive from Des Moines. Will be back!

Arrived at 1030am 5/11. Drove off the highway on a 3 hour trip because my wife wanted to try this place on mother's day. Door was locked. Sign says it's open. Google currently says it's open. Furious is a good word.

I have a true love for the coffee and beignets in the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. My wife and I visit frequently to see family for the holidays. Having said that, there are not a lot of places that offer that sort of nostalgia when we get back to Iowa. Recently, my friend mentioned there was a really great coffee and beignet spot on the corner from where we were working. So, of course, we had to check it out! Boy, were we not disappointed!
Right away, we were greeted by the friendliest staff. They had four different flavors of beignets. Mind you, I’m an old soul and typically go for the classic powdered sugar. However, this time, we tried one of each. There was, of course, the classic powdered sugar, but they also had one with a lemon glaze, one with cinnamon sugar, and, last but not least, the dark horse: a spicy powdered sugar topped with chili powder and hot honey. They all turned out phenomenal.
Each had a softer texture than the beignets I am used to, almost melting in your mouth. Each flavor was fantastic in its own right, but what really surprised me was how much I liked the spicy one. Bring your friends, bring your family—this place is wonderful and has some of the best beignets I have ever had.

My husband and I visited this nice gem when we saw their sign off I-80. We were looking for a coffee place and like to try non-chain coffee spots. We were not disappointed! The coffee was amazing! The staff was very nice and helpful. The atmosphere of the place was very warm, inviting, and comfortable. This will definitely be a place we visit when driving through!
Coffee was excellent, the lemon beignet was divine.

I feel bad for the older lady's working. The highscool kid looked stoned to the bone and was very slow.. Took my 87 year old grandmother last weekend and it was q uite the wait for food.. Food was Good. Everyone working was very polite. I think they are very understaffed or we just went on bad for them with events going on in town. Would recommend at least trying it out. The old school malt bar was pretty cool!

**Beans and Beignets** is an absolute hidden gem nestled in the heart of Eatlham, IA. Despite its unassuming location, this charming little spot delivers an extraordinary culinary experience that rivals anything you'd find in a big city. The beignets here are simply to die for—light, fluffy, and perfectly dusted with powdered sugar. Each bite transports you straight to New Orleans, with a delightful crispiness on the outside and a melt-in-your-mouth texture inside.
I was driving from California, moving to Chicago, when I saw a sign on East 80 for "Beans & beignets." Intrigued, I decided to pull over, and I’m so glad I did! What I found was this incredible spot that made my long journey feel like a special adventure.
But the excellence doesn’t stop there. The coffee is rich and robust, the perfect complement to the beignets, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Beans and Beignets is worth going out of your way for. It’s a must-visit destination that turns an ordinary day into a delightful experience. Highly recommended! BTW, the ladies at the counter are AMAZING wonderful!!!

I'm Cajun, so I was skeptical to try this place for fear of disappointment, but I decided to anyway and I'm so glad I did. Their beignets take me back home. They are just like what you find in Louisiana. The café au lait I had was smooth and perfectly steamed. We stopped by for the brunch buffet and even though we came in at the tail end of it, everything tasted great. The staff was wonderful and the owner was also very kind and took the time to discuss the origins of their food with me. Do yourself a favor and give this local place a try. It is a gem!
