I was surprised about the strength of the house coffee so if you’re looking for an affordable spot to sit and or dine on a whole selection of lunchable snacks and or light desserts like Scilian Cheescake I’m having. I would definitely suggest the Dowlen location. My ticket included house water, house large coffee and and sluce of the Scilian Cheescake. Didn’t leave in a sour mood and wasn’t extremely heavy.
Enjoy!

Hands down the best bakery I’ve been to. If you’re wanting to be in and out this isn’t the place. If you want an experience and a great baked treat this is definitely the place for you! They also have ice cream, yogurt, coffee, and food.

When your primary business is selling food and drinks for consumption on the premises, every patron needs to have access to wash their hands. Restaurant losing one star for having restrooms locked. Big inconvenience for customer. It is not as if this restaurant is in a sketchy part of town where homeless are going to come camp in the restrooms. Besides that, the brownie, cupcakes, and creme brulee were excellent. Both the regular black tea and the flavored tea were both terrible. Black tea was still still not acceptable with four packs of Sweet and low and flavored tea was watered down. You’re in the South; stop being fancy and just make good tea.

Great place to study and you can rent the back room out for meetings or special events. Ham and cheese croissant is excellent. Their coffee and key lime pie are also on point amazing!

Rao’s, especially this location, feels like it has become a local institution in Beaumont. That’s a good thing, too, as Beaumont needs “third places.”
We’ve been coming to Rao’s for years. It’s an inviting spot to gather with friends or family, get some remote work done, read a book, or simply enjoy a dessert break.
I appreciate its consistency. Rao’s has a variety of baked goods, gelato, and desserts, as well as several coffee drinks. The “Al Pacino” is my favorite beverage there. For sweets, you can’t go wrong with some red velvet cake or key lime pie, in my opinion.
The vibe/atmosphere is really what makes this place. Great “coffee shop” experience. Appreciate how they change things up on the inside to reflect the seasons/holidays. If you want to go where the locals go, check out Rao’s!

I’ve been coming to Rio’s for a long time. But over the last year or so they’ve been hiking the prices up. I went in tonight and bought a macaroon and it was almost $4 for one. A lady next to me ordered a small pastry it was almost $10. Are the desserts at Rao’s the best I’ve ever had no. Far from it. About half of them are good. But the pricing is where I drawl a line. I’m not sure if they’re hiking the prices up because they just built a new store in Mid County. But I hope their not passing the price on to their customers. On a last note the tiramisu is very disappointing and very dry. And I had issues with getting old pastries or desserts they were not fresh.

I’m really disappointed writing this because I actually love Rao’s Bakery and buy coffee here at least once a week. It’s been one of my favorite local spots and I’ve never had an issue until today.
We stopped in for coffee and had brought outside food for my niece’s kids who hadn’t eaten yet. When staff asked us to put it away, we immediately did. Despite complying, management still told us we had to leave completely. What made this especially upsetting is that I rarely go out. My daughter has autism, so simple outings like a coffee date aren’t easy for us.
I understand policies exist, but a little compassion and flexibility would have meant so much, especially for a loyal customer. The lack of empathy made us feel unwelcome, which was really sad considering how much I’ve supported this place.

The desserts and coffee here are excellent, especially the Sicilian cheesecake. Ordering full cakes, pies, and desserts here for holidays or birthdays is worth it. They are always a crowd pleaser.
The atmosphere can vary depending on the time of day—sometimes crowded and chaotic, other times more casual and relaxed.
The ordering process could be more clear. Sometimes you can’t tell where the lines are but there is plenty of seating and cute items for sale like tableware, coffee beans, cards and more.
