Congo Coffee and Beignet

First of its kind, Congo Coffee & Beignets is the only coffee shop serving upscale Congolese traditional beignets. Experimenting with different recipes, Founder Nia Bangala was able to come up with the perfect recipe for beignets that’s crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The key step to achieving this balance of textures is to have the dough rest for two days. While these sweet treats are usually dusted with powdered sugar, we take it to the next level by introducing an array of different syrups and sauces to add another flavor profile to our beignets.

We also specialize in direct trade coffee from Congo. We believe that it’s important to recognize the coffee bean farmers from Congo and their hard work. One of our main values is to sustainably source our coffee beans and ensure that we are always giving back to the global community. These deep roots of humanitarian acts can be traced back to Nia’s personal beliefs.
