    The legendary CDM
    Brittany M.

    There's nothing I can't say that hasn't already been said. Cafe du Monde is legendary for a lush beignet when you want a tried and true, celebrated pillow of dough with a dusting of powdered sugar (I request them light sugar). Having said that when the temperature starts going up I go solely for the frozen coffee. It cools you to the core, and it's deeeelicious. And going inside, the smells of warm beignets wafting through the air are tempting indeed, but that frozen cup of joy is what I'm here for in these warm temps.

    Great location, plenty of parking. The inside is larger than it looks from the outside. There are a few tables outside as well as a drive up window. Staff really friendly and as usual very efficient on taking orders to keep the walk up line going. Cafe Au Lait is always consistent and yummy.

    WowZa! I did not know this location was here, but I do now -- and with much longer hours than the Covington location (thank goodness) , I'm in beignet heaven in Mandeville. Located directly off the interstate (so clutch), this stop made our trip back to Houston so much sweeter. Honest take: The beignet quality is on par, if not better, than the NOLA locations as there's much less traffic and fresher grease, maybe???! I'm not sure. But, there's something to it. I loved the "watcher window" to check out the beignets in the making, and seeing our order from scratch to finish, and getting our beignets perfectly, piping hot. Loved it, mean it-- ALWAYS!

    Way cool! I can get beignets without going to the Quarter. It has been 27 years since Ive been to the Quarter or Metairie location so I might be mistaken here but the experience there is they shake your beignets in a paper bag to coat them with the sugar while wearing the long aprons (probably not anymore). They have decorated this location in trying to replicate the experience but nothing beats sitting out on the patio in the Quarter and people watching all the tourists while you chow down on hot beignets. I ordered the Beignets (3 to an order) and a Chocolate Milk. Good old Borden milk! Can't get that back home. The beignets were perfect, just like I remembered them. All these experiences of my former years living here for two decades makes me want to move back. Great service from the pleasant staff. The store was very clean and all tables spotless.

    Oh my gosh! I was so happy to be able to introduce my family to Cafe Au Lait and Beignets without actually going into the French Quarter... GPS routes you onto I12 around New Orleans proper if you're driving cross country. We were fortunate enough to stop for a meal on our trip and I was talking to an employee about Cafe Du Monde, she told me about this gem located about ten minutes away. Wow! The place is located in a shopping complex, but it's decorated very much like downtown. The exterior design is also very reminiscent of the French Quarter. The coffee and beignets were delicious. Very close to the original! And the staff were friendly and efficient. We'll be back I'm sure!

    My favorite place to get cafe au lait and beignets and I'm so glad they have other locations than just New Orleans. Very, very friendly service, quick service here as there was no wait. Highly recommend this spot and I'll always be coming back.

    Beignets and chicory decaf
    Elizabeth Y.

    This is a great spot to try the iconic beignets and chicory coffee without the lines! I was very grateful for the decaf option during our afternoon pit stop and thought the coffee was very tasty. The beignets!!!! Of course, I heard that they were good but didn't expect them to be so pillowy and fun to eat! Somehow they weren't overwhelmingly greasy either (maybe the sugar covered it up), and I happily ate all three :) I heard that the key is to not inhale while taking a bite and survived mostly un-powdered. Also, I was wearing white.

    Pass this location everyday and notice that it never seems busy. Well, I needed to kill time in the area so I decided to stop in. At first glance, the place seemed very clean and in order, but also empty and the place felt depressing at 7:45 AM. The employees were very friendly and eager to serve. I ordered one order and a coffee. I was told that they had no mugs or plates due to a hot water issue. No big deal, things happen. I then noticed the guy grab three beignets from a steel bin and it looked as if the beignets had been sitting a while. Sure enough, the beignets were cold and did not taste fresh like I remember growing up. So disappointed and sad to see such an iconic place seem as though it's on life support.

    Covered in powdered sugar!
    Cassie C.

    Easy drive thru for some beignets when you're not at the original location and want a quick fix! We got a simple order of 3 beignets and they're each a large size. They were piping hot and had a TON of powdered sugar. Definitely hit the spot!

    Beignet.

    The beignets were as hard as a rock. They were deformed and ugly. The mocha was horrendous. Employees were nice and polite. The restaurant had a comfy feel.

    Wow! Does that look great or what? I want more...

    Went to the original location (French Quarter). Not here... lines forever. No lines at the Mandeville location. Ordered the café and beignets. Made to order, hot and fresh. Served fast and friendly. What a treat. Look at those beignets, covered with a cup of powered sugar (each... almost). Perfectly cooked beignets. Crispy with moist fluffy insides. What a mess I made with the powder. All over the table, shirt, pants, and even the floor. I'll do better next time! I would be here every day if I lived close. Happy camper.... 10 star!

    Better than the one in the French Quarter spot imo...Why? Because you're getting the same delicious beignets without the lines and the smell. Easier to visit as it's located in a shopping plaza and plenty of parking. The beignets and coffee are always hot and fresh. The staff is fantastic and friendly, the dining area is clean. Everything you expect from Cafe Du Monde without the loud, long lines and parking headache.

    Hot chocolate and beignets!

    Omg the beignets are so good and I usually get them with the hot chocolate, which is just OK. Would definitely recommend this place.

    I didn't have the greatest experience here for my first time. I came here on a Sunday morning…read moreduring Labor Day weekend. We gave ourselves an hour and a half, enough time to eat and get to our next planned and scheduled event that day. So, we weren't in a rush. We get in the quickly moving line to order our food at the counter. I order a salmon bagel and the hubs ordered a meatball ciabatta. We sit down and I noticed it is a very busy place. It is a very large place and I noticed how clean everything was and how efficient all the workers were at getting the food out. One after the other, food was coming out like an assembly line and the food looked good, too. But the assembly line apparently stopped, no orders were coming out, and we waited about 20 or 25 minutes. At least we had our drinks because it is a counter service type establishment. We noticed stacks and stacks of 'to go' orders were being placed in the counter area. After nearly 35 or 40 minutes we get our food. Some guy had ordered a 'football teams' worth amount of food. So, although it was not the restaurant's fault, it was frustrating the timing that our order was f course put in right after the guy that ordered 20 dishes. I get my bagel to try to eat quickly, since now we are in a little bit of a rush. And the bagel couldn't have been more complicated to eat. I just wanted a complete lox bagel but it was a deconstructed bagel where I had to put the thing together. I would have enjoyed the meal a little better had my bagel been properly served, like for example, the way Flour Moon serves their bagels to customers. I don't know if we will be back because I rarely visit the Northshore, this was a special occasion. I guess if I do come back, I would like to try one or two of the desserts from the case. Those looked really good.

    Tire of the chain coffee shops you normally visit? Give Kona a try…read more Kona is a small coffee shop located in Old Mandeville. It is attached to The Beach House and I am pretty sure it used to be a bar or at east part of the bar at the BH. Now it is a full on coffee shop. The Good The coffee here is very good. The iced coffee is bold yet smooth with very little bitterness. if you're a fan of coffee the way god intended (black with nothing), you will be happy with their version. If I had to guess I would say that it's cold brewed. There is a decent selection of food items. On my most recent visit I had a croissant sandwich. It was pre-made and microwaved to warm it up, but it was tasty. My daughter had a chocolate muffin which she devoured with the quickness. The "Just OK" This is a small and narrow space with low ceilings. Each time I have been here it seemed as if all, or almost all, of the tables were taken up by folks who weren't leaving anytime soon. I am a big fan of working at a coffee shop, but if you've got whining kids, it is nice to have a place to sit, eat, and then roll out. There is a small parking lot next to the shop. I have never seen it when it wasn't full. There is ample street parking, but the curbs are low and not friendly to low vehicles. The service is hit or miss. My most recent visit was fine, but several others have been downright odd. One time the barista didn't know how to make the sandwich I ordered. I am pretty sure it just gets unwrapped and put in the microwave. Will I be back? I think so. It is a nice alternative to the chains. I just wish I had more tie during the week to stop in.
