Cafe Du Monde is my go-to airport snack spot where I can treat myself to some beignets before flying!They're tucked away at the start of one of the terminals, making it fairly easy to grab a quick snack regardless of where your flight is leaving from. They also have an extra counter space away from the register so you can sort all your goodies without feeling rushed. Don't forget your napkins at the registers though! (I always have to remind myself to grab napkins when paying since they're not available at the extra counter to the side). Anyway, I've had them several times now, and haven't noticed any change in quality, though sometimes you'll get beignets that are fluffier and soft vs other times I've gotten ones that are more on the crunchy side. One thing that stays consistent though is the overflowing powdered sugar! They never skip out on that, and every time I've gone I've gotten a nice heap of extra sugar at the bottom of my bag.The line length depends on various factors, but it does go by quickly and the staff are very efficient with orders, especially during busier times when they open both registers.

Convenient grab and go vibe with no tables with seating. Pretty quick and kind service. The beignet isn't as good as the Original Cafe Du Monde. Still recommend for those who wants quick beignet to take on the way. This location accepts credit card payment*

Got my last fix before boarding my flight. Line moved quick even though it was long. The cost wasn't too bad compared to in the city. My order was off, and they fixed it but it took a few minutes for the staff to understand I was missing 2 items. Otherwise, good opportunity to grab beignets if you missed them on town, or want some fresh ones for the plane.

I always make a pit stop here on my way out of NOLA. The line goes quick and the beignets are incredible!!! I'm never disappointed. And it's right by the B gates, which are my gates since I fly out of Southwest. I'll continue visiting every time I'm at this airport!

Had no cash earlier in the day at the French Quarter but knew getting my fix would happen at the airport. They really a really efficient operation at the airport location, and even have windows to the prep. Mine beignets were piping hot and covered in powdered sugar, iced cafe au lait was delicious and the cashier was great. Even brought some chicory kcups home. 100% coming back in the future

What can you say about the world's best beignets that hasn't a ready been said. Fresh as heck they were. I ask the nice lady for some right of the oil and she obliged me with three of the dresses one I have ever had. 100 out of 100 score. Even at the airport things can taste awesome as long as you stray away from the fast food options. You know I might just use New Orleans as my new layover point in the future.

We didn't have time to visit their locations in the city, so this was very convenient to find a location right in the airport. We ordered their famous beignets as well as some iced lattes. The beignets were quite good. Warm and fluffy inside with a slight crunch and powdered sugar. Messy to eat so be ready with napkins for all the sugar that will fall everywhere. The lattes were good and had a little extra spark of flavor that might be from the chicory. They were not flavored or sweet, and they were quite smooth and not bitter. If you miss Cafe du Monde in the city, stop by this airport location! Allow a little extra time, though, as we noticed there was a long line at times.
