Cafe Du Monde

We had relatives visiting from San Jose, CA for the Saints and Raiders game and they've always heard of the beignets in NOLA but never had an opportunity to try them until recent. We got four orders of the beignets (3 come in one order...all were soft, sweet and pillowy). The cashier let us sample the frozen coffee which was fantastic. A little on the pricey side but it was delish so everyone ordered one. The service was great and the staff were super friendly. So, we ended up making a few trips back because they were that addictive to them and cheaper than getting them at the airport. The seating area was filled with patrons and seemed to be very inviting for customers to chat it up...cuz it was loud in there. Anyway, you can't go wrong with a Cafe Du Monde beignet!

I had to go to Cafe Du Monde to try their World Famous Beignets.You order, cafeteria style. You have a choice of beverages. The beignets are 3 per order.The staff were helpful and suggested I tried their coffee with chicory. Be prepared for a bath of powder sugar, once you bite into the warm pillowy bread...amazing. It's an experience you can't miss

I'm love their beignet and coffee!! When I was in New Orleans. This would be my everyday coffee place. I add two Splenda to my large ice coffee.The beignet is best when fresh, wait too long and it'll be tough.

Of course, we had to stop by Cafe Du Monde to try their famous beignets and coffee. The line was long since there was an event in the city for the whole weekend, but the service was quick. Several tables were also available, so people could hang out if they wanted to.I ordered the Beignets (3 pcs) and Cafe Mocha. The beignets were so good. They were thick and fluffy; they tasted fresh. I love watching how they make the beignets. The Cafe Mocha was great, too. It was not too sweet and tasted a bit strong and chocolatey, which I liked. Overall, Cafe Du Monde is a must-stop in New Orleans. We visited several times because we loved their beignets and coffee. I even bought a can of Coffee and Chicory, and French Roast Coffee to enjoy back home.

Whenever you're in NOLA, it is a requirement to stop by Cafe du Monde for beignets. This location has both a drive-thru and an outdoor patio. Staff does a fantastic job of keeping this place clean, consistently wiping down the tables to ensure that you're not sitting in leftover powdered sugar from previous patrons. I much prefer this location over the French Quarter location since it's much less crowded, and the beignets come out quickly. There's not much else to say about Cafe du Monde - the name says it all and I''ll always recommend it.

Recommend: Unfortunately, there 'isn't' anything here to... 'recommend'. It's a simple, air conditioned, coffee shop with uninviting, lacking-customer involvement, bland, decor and hard seating. [**Cautionary note**: The sidewalk was heavily damaged, cracked, and steeply angled creating a challenge to walk on due to it's slant and unevenly broken slabs. My handicapped party member had to be hand-held to traverse it safely from the handicap parking spot! Someone will get hurt here in a matter of time so I hope Management addresses this.]There is a lot of hype here - for this place. However, I can't say this place was mesmerizing, fantastical or anything other than a historically appreciative, coffee shop that serves delicious Beignets. What are they? Basically, tasty miniature versions of Funnel Cakes if you were... laiden with powdered sugar. Diabetics; please be careful. A simple cafe, historical to the NOLA area but nothing unique, quasi-entertaining or remarkably impressive to say 'please go here' if visiting the New Orleans area. The customer service was almost non existent aside from ordering and as you have to take your trays to a little drop off window when done. Again, no customer service interaction. The coffee is nothing to write home about in addition, and sadly, that's it. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad per se here, but very, very overhyped and I digress, it's better to be honest and truthful here. If a blind person walked in here, they'd no better no this place than any other of the 1K coffee shops that might sell hot dough as a side dish.I wonder, truly if other locations are better presented, maybe, and I hope so. This location was lackluster to my entire party of 6 who visited this place on a Monday afternoon from out of state. You decide!

Yay, I finally got to visit Cafe Du Monde on our way to Yellowstone. I ordered a small coffee that was black and very hot. I wanted to see how coffee with Chickory tasted! Yum!I also bought a bag of 3 beignets that were covered in powdered sugar. I was covered in the sugar and so was the floor. They were out of this world! I got an extra order to take with us along with souvenirs, a plate, a few cups and the cutest expresso mini cup. This stop certainly made my day!

Never disappointing! This is my favorite location when leaving NOLA. It's not too busy and it's right close to I-10. I got the mixer to do at home, wish me luck!

IYKYK, beignets are the best thing since...well, bread. I do favour a certain "cafe" version on Royal, but I digress. Iced Cafe Au Lait is a lifesaver when the "feels like" is 101F. And a beignet is just the "sugar on top"... See what i did there? Yes, the beignets have gotten a little smaller, but they're still thick and chewy-so just consider it a built in portion control.

Cafe Du Monde....this place is a treasure to New Orleans. Having a plate full of beignets in front of your face dusted up with powdered sugar...who can beat that??!! When I lived in the area, this was a go-to for many years, either at their French Quarter location or at the Oakwood Mall in the Westbank. After Sophia and I myself had lunch minutes away, we drove here for some goodies. Just like all the other locations, we got in line to place our orders. And it was very quick. I ordered the usual: beignets dusted with powdered sugar and frozen cafe au lait. And just like other times, the food was really good. The beignets were hot and soft and of course, plenty of powdered sugar. Frozen cafe au lait....say no more. The vibe inside was very chill and the decor was spotless. Plenty of chairs for seating, even for a group of 8. I even got full from the previous lunch I gave my last beignet to Sophia. Can't waste good food like this....ha!!A really nice treat. The next time we come back for the Holidays, we'll be sure to stop by. Till next time :)
