    Beignets and frozen cafe au lait
    Damien J.

    After Sophia and I had lunch, we drove here for the last stop before heading back to New Orleans. Cafe Du Monde has been a favorite of ours for many years, even with a few visits after we moved to Virginia. This location was our 1st visit so let's see if we both left happy. We were greeted by the staff upon walking inside. They only had a few people seated which was perfect for us. And the decor was the same as other Cafe Du Monde locals: perfect. Within 5 minutes, it was time to order. I selected the usual: beignets (3 of them per order) and a regular size of frozen cafe au lait. As always, eveything was pretty good. I was kind of surprised they didn't put a lot of powdered sugar on the food, but at the same time I didn't want too much of it getting on my clothes....ha!! And the frozen drink gave yours truly a brain freeze. Not bad for a familiar taste of home. This stop was much needed before we headed to NOLA to rest for the long trip home. You know we'll come back this coming December. Till next time :)

    I love our Covington location, because the staff are so kind and cheerful, the beignets are always fresh, and they have the best frozen coffee around - especially when my vehicle's temperature gauge is reading 103° outside. The gentleman at the drive-thru with the glasses is so accommodating and patient, just had to mention that. And who doesn't love the smell of beignets wafting through the air, even in the summer?

    Arrived here at around 615am, at the time the staffed seemed half asleep and pretty much ignored me when I asked where the restroom was.. my partner decided to use the restroom while I browsed the menu. It was my first time here and I didn't even know how to order. When it was my turn to use the restroom I can hear my partner laughing, always the one to start a conversation w strangers. Nonetheless, when I came out I was greeted by Clarice and Beau and they were happy enough to share the history of Chicory coffee a second time. They were very friendly, I just think we needed a sec. The place was clean and were given samples of their frozen iced coffee. The beignets were delicious!! Paired well with the Chicory coffee!! I wished I lived near by because I would be here every day. They told us the history and we told them about our road trip with our fur baby. They immediately said you can sit outside and we will put these on plates for you, what a plus that its super dog friendly. Thanks again CLARICE AND BEAU!

    Hubby & I were looking for some coffee on our 15 hour road trip. We have previously stopped in Slidell & Dripping Springs and both ended up taking half an hour to get our coffees! Way too much time. So we actually found the Starbucks off this exit and then I saw Cafe du Monde pop up on the map. This was by far the fastest & quickest stop we had the entire trip. The coffee was good and we also ordered some beignets. They were REALLY hot and delicious. It was easy to get on and off the freeway from this exit. From now on this will be our stop driving through Louisiana. Ps. Make sure to get lots of napkins to clean up from the beignets :)

    Got Sugar?
    Joanna G.

    We got powdered. We're 4 old farts traveling cross country in a van. Not being able to walk a block, we decided to skip the downtown New Orleans location and get our beignet s and Cafe au lait in Covington. We arrived about 9:30 am. The place was empty. The beignets were warm, but not the fresh from the fry basket we had downtown. The powdered sugar didn't melt on it just dropped into our laps and onto the floor. However, it did sooth our sweet tooth. The Cafe au lait did not disappoint. We would try again earlier and hopefully get a fresh batch.

    OBSESSED! Can we talk about a quiet, easy access Cafe Du Monde location with a DRIVE THRU WINDOW and private parking lot! (Enough said) But, I'll continue! I love that the beignet quality, flavor, and consistency are spot on with the NOLA locations, and served piping hot and fast. This location offers the convenience that I need in my life. Hassle free, perfectly pillowy beignets for all!

    We tend to go here for beignets instead of New Orleans. We noticed today they had temporary hours posted. Call before you go. It's quiet and everything is just as good.

    A signature food you must try once in your lifetime. Normally I will grab one or three in the French quarter but on this road trip I spotted this restaurant off an exit. The beignets came out fresh in a matter of minutes. Cheat on your diet for a day and get yourself a treat.

    The original-best French donuts anywhere. Service is average except for the one located on Jackson Square which has gone downhill in quality , cleanliness and staff.

    Iconic beignets in NOLA. It's a must-do for everyone. How can you NOT love fried dough covered in powdered sugar?

    And although it is covered in powdered sugar, it really isn't as sweet as it appears.

    The website and Yelp say they are open until 5. Just went there before 4pm. They do NOT stay open…read moreuntil 5! They were closed and one of my options was to come back at 7 am. I'm leaving town tomorrow and came all the way here from Arkansas to get their petite fours but I'm not doing that so I went elsewhere.

    *King Cake Review!!*…read more Are y'all sick of my king cake reviews yet? I hope not because I have quite a few more. This one is a little different, though, because it's for a shipped king cake. Now before you purists get your Mardi Gras feathers in a ruffle....yes, I do know all about the Randazzo family drama (if you don't, Google it) and the different bakeries that encompass said drama. There have even been lawsuits over the Randazzo family name and you might very well have had a Randazzo's king cake from a bakery with an entirely different name. One thing is for sure, whether it has the Randazzo's name or another one entirely (hi...Caluda's) their recipe is the bomb and is the very best in alllll of king cake land, and that is a hill I'm willing to die on. I have always wondered if a king cake that has been shipped is just as amazing as if you had gone and picked it up yourself. I have shipped king cakes before and my recipients always say they're good but let's face it, they might just be saying that to spare my feelings. And besides, a shipped cake that's below par is better than no king cake at all...am I right? So I was never positive if I could trust they were just as good. This year I shipped one to my brutally honest kid who just moved out of state. I knew she'd tell me the truth, whether I wanted to hear it or not. After her initial elated excitement of getting a piece of Louisiana shipped straight to her door several states away, she and her hubby dug in and she said, and I quote, "mom it's so good, so fresh and soft, so unbelievably amazing I feel like I'm in Louisiana right now eating it" and continued to rave about it all day to me, Facebook, her new neighbors, literally everyone. Then the next day (and this is the best review of all) she asked me if I wanted to see something embarrassing. Of course I do, lol. She texted me a picture of the king cake, (knife in the box...of course) with only one tiny little slice left. They DEVOURED it in less than 12 hours. I rest my case, your honor. If you have out-of-town people who love Louisiana, and are missing it like crazy, do them a solid and ship them a king cake and ship it from one of the Randazzo's. It's pricy but so worth it! My daughter actually cried real tears getting that king cake delivered. Do it y'all!
