Cafe Du Monde

I'm going to make a lot of people mad with this review because of how loved this place is but i was not impressed. A tourist spot for sure, with a ridiculous wait time, they only accept cash and have a very limited menu. Now the menu doesn't bother me because i was really only here for the beignets and while they were not bad they were not very remarkable, and honestly i've had better outside of new orleans. I don't recommend coming here to actually enjoy anything and the staff is rushing you out the minute you sit down because of the wait time. I think you're better off finding better beignets elsewhere in new orleans, skip this tourist trap. I will add that the prices are fairly cheap so that's nice.

A New Orleans staple and must try!! We went back twice during our visit. Beignets we're hot, fresh, fluffy, soft and topped with a generous amount of powdered sugar!! Scrumptious!! Not to heavy extremely light airy sugary treat. We ordered 3 packs of 3 plus a frozen caffe. Indoor and outdoor seating available. A must try spot.

Gotta get a beignet from here! It's the NOLA thing to do! Lines for dining were ridiculously long so we didn't try any of the entrees. I did happen to snag some beignets which were still warm and were little pillows covered in powdered sugar. Great to eat while overlooking the river. Apparently 50 other people felt the same way be careful not to inhale the powdered sugar!

No complaints! The beignets were absolutely perfect. Got the frozen coffee. It was so so so good, but very very sweet. Be aware. And don't wear black like me lol. Also, the one off Decataur doesn't take card currently. Have to go across the street to some souvenir shop to get cash... that was NOT fun

Ordered the cafe au lait and got the babies an order of beignets. All of it was delicious, the coffee is very smooth and the mountain of powdered sugar on top of the pastries had my kids in a chokehold lol definitely try! Everything came out very quickly, pleasantly surprised since I heard it was always busy.

I know this is well rated and recommended but I had other beignets around New Orleans and they are not much different. The line is not worth it.

Always fresh! Great service and affordable prices. This is one of my go to places any time I'm in Louisiana

When I lived in the westbank of New Orleans, I used to frequent the main location of Café Du Monde in the city. Every time, I always loved digging into beignets and even their frozen café au lait. Since I moved away, my girlfriend and I would make it our diligence to come to the Oakwood Center Mall in Gretna to check out their location every Christmas holiday. And just like the downtown location, this one does not disappoint. As soon as we got seated, our orders came out. We both ordered beignets and frozen coffee. The beignets were hot and the coffee.....not too sweet for me and well done. No matter if you're in downtown New Orleans or in a mall in Metairie or Gretna, Café Du Monde will always satisfy your sweet tooth.

Very busy area but even better customer service. Not really anywhere to sit in abundance besides in the food court.

love this coffee BUT I recently opened a new can and FOUND A HAIR IN IT! That's a DISGUSTING first! I wrote to the company numerous times regards and NEVER received a response (GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE). The NEW can went to waste!
