Cafe Du Monde

Visited Cafe Du Monde inside the Lakeside Mall and the beignet experience was great - we ordered as pictured and service was quick and friendly. Coffee and pastries were hot and fresh, get your beignet cravings fixed here.

This is a tourist trap. Unless you are already in the mall or in planning to do the riverwalk anyways - don't go out if you way for this location. It's inside the mall, there is no street parking, and the garage nearby charges $12 min to park. The line moved pretty fast but the staff were not friendly and barely made eye contact. Where is that southern charm? The place was quite dirty. The beignets were more dense and doughy than I remembered from the OG location. Coffee is fine but it's served with those cheap plastic lids that don't form a proper seal and drips when you try to drink from it.

I didn't have time to make it to the original location but found out there was a location closer to me and I was craving some beignets! They served them 3 to an order and they were hot and fresh just the way I like them. I also had an Iced Mocha and it wasn't bad but definitely needed more coffee in it. Overall, a decent option to satisfy my craving at the time.

You can not visit the New Orleans area without stopping by Café Du Monde for an order of delicious beignets. This restaurant embodies the spirit of New Orleans with the cafe style setting. Be prepared for powdered sugar on your clothing, but it will all be worth it. Hands down Cafe Du Monde has the best beignets!

Beignets were very dense but cafe au lait was on point! I would definitely try again because they were very busy at the time

I would love to give this ionically known place five stars just because they've been hanging for so many years and I do love beignets however, this location inside of the mall did not live up to my expectationsI have visited the French Quarter location and got exceptionally delicious beignets even at the location in the New Orleans airport- catch them in the morning with them fresh hot beignets-YUM- but this location gets three mainly because the beignets were not fresh and the customer service was a little questionable ....so next time when I get back to New Orleans I will definitely get to the French quarters and I'm sure the review will be a five stars.

The beignets are so good, hot and fresh here. I wish I had this place near my hometown and the hot chocolate is delicious as well. Can hardly wait to return to New Orleans for more! The service was on point and the ambiance was quaint and wonderful. Yes, yes and yes!

Such a nostalgic and must go place! Of course it didn't disappoint! Such great service, even got a hat! Great energy with inside and outdoor seating. Super quick service and the beignets were of course amazing!

Quick service, staff was very pleasant! Very good customer and very nice and friendly. They helped out with the menu. The beignets were good, warm, and fresh.

We came to the Metairie location. Staff was super nice! There was no line & beignets were great! We ordered two rounds of beignets first round was great, but the 2nd round came out hot & fresh out of the fryer! Those were epic! There's nothing better than a warm doughy pillow of powdered sugar! Coming to this location was an excellent top by a local to avoid the French quarter crowds.
