    Beignets
    Sonam D.

    No complaints! The beignets were absolutely perfect. Got the frozen coffee. It was so so so good, but very very sweet. Be aware. And don't wear black like me lol. Also, the one off Decataur doesn't take card currently. Have to go across the street to some souvenir shop to get cash... that was NOT fun

    Cafe au lait and beignets
    Karilynne O.

    Ordered the cafe au lait and got the babies an order of beignets. All of it was delicious, the coffee is very smooth and the mountain of powdered sugar on top of the pastries had my kids in a chokehold lol definitely try! Everything came out very quickly, pleasantly surprised since I heard it was always busy.

    HAIR WITHIN THE COFFE GROUNDS OF A NEW CAN OF COFFEE

    love this coffee BUT I recently opened a new can and FOUND A HAIR IN IT! That's a DISGUSTING first! I wrote to the company numerous times regards and NEVER received a response (GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE). The NEW can went to waste!

    Beignets and frozen Cafe Au Lait.  What more can I say?!

    When I lived in the westbank of New Orleans, I used to frequent the main location of Café Du Monde in the city. Every time, I always loved digging into beignets and even their frozen café au lait. Since I moved away, my girlfriend and I would make it our diligence to come to the Oakwood Center Mall in Gretna to check out their location every Christmas holiday. And just like the downtown location, this one does not disappoint. As soon as we got seated, our orders came out. We both ordered beignets and frozen coffee. The beignets were hot and the coffee.....not too sweet for me and well done. No matter if you're in downtown New Orleans or in a mall in Metairie or Gretna, Café Du Monde will always satisfy your sweet tooth.

    Still the best beignet mix but not quite as airy as I remember. A doughy French donut with a continental coffee always hits the spot for a late morning snack

    Getting my  frozen coffee

    On my way out from the mall I stopped to pick up some coffee and beignet to go. The cashier was an older lady who was checking out customers. I was second in line of another customer who was being ring up. One of the younger staff was rushing the cashier to hurry up to take my order but I was not in a rush. The younger staff got another staff to ask me what I wanted and I gave them my order. The younger staff gave me my coffee but didn't even fill my two order of beignet to go. What really bothers me is the way the "younger" staff was treating the older cashier. I was disgusted of the way one of them spoke to her. This one staff kept going on how the younger staff gets things done twice as faster then the cashier is ringing up customer. My goodness, there were only two customers in line and I was in no rush or anything. I really regret not making a comment about it to them. Hope the older cashier would make a complaint to management regarding to this kind of behavior.

    I got my order to go and asked them to keep the powdered sugar separated. Looks like they meant it literally because I have to go buy powdered sugar to eat.

    If you're for some reason on the Westbank, this is as good as any spot for cafe au lait and beignets. It's in the mall.

    Oh my! Vietnamese coffee is my new obsession and I loved it so much, I came here twice in one…read moreweekend! I ordered the ice cafe trung, both times! And what that is, is a classic Vietnamese egg coffee that combines chilled coffee with a rich and creamy whipped egg yolk topping, in addition to my favorite part - condensed milk! It was creamy and so smooth. I just really savored it, the second time anyway. I probably downed the first one in a minute and I ordered the large. Tthe condensed milk with the egg yolk flavors were singing! I had no idea I would love this so much and I am great I tried something new. I also ordered the special of the day, the fried chicken sandwich. It was crispy and I loved the pickles, but it was not my favorite fried chicken sandwich. Something was different with the batter, it was almost like a tempura, like fry, but the sauce did help. It was good enough for me to eat all of it. I also had a slice of the cookie butter cheesecake. It was very good too, again not my favorite, but again, I ate every bit of it. Their coffee was the star, and if I came here twice in one weekend for that coffee, that says a lot! I would love that coffee every day.

    Dough Nguyener's Bakery -- 4…read more Dough Nguyener's really introduced me and my son to the flavors of ube and pandan... and I still can't believe I went my whole life without them. Like where have I been?! We are forever grateful for that alone. As someone who already loves Vietnamese culture through food here in New Orleans, this place just hits. Vietnamese coffee is a staple for me--not even for energy, but for the flavor. If you know, you know... that bold, strong, chicory-meets-condensed-milk moment. It's rich, it's cultural, it's intentional. And when you start adding things like pandan cold foam? Simple, but it speaks volumes about the influence and beauty of the Vietnamese community here. I respect it, deeply. Now let's talk about that Croffle... a croissant-waffle situation. I went with the Chantilly and berries because... you already know, I'm gonna choose what feels like home every time. The cream was smooth, the fruit was fresh, everything worked. My only thing--personally--it was a little heavy on the almonds for me. Still good, just my preference. We also had The American--eggs, bacon, French ham, hand-cut fries, garlic aioli, and a baguette. I shared it with my son and made my own little sandwich moment with it. Used the aioli as a base, layered the eggs, bacon, and ham... and I feel like that's exactly what it was meant for. Solid, simple, and filling. I've tried a few other things too like the bánh mì and donuts. The bánh mì was good, donuts were okay... not my go-to for that. But that frozen cocktail? Listen... it was TOO good. Took it to a festival with me and between that drink and that sun, I slept the whole festival away lol. Overall, I'll definitely be back. I still want to try more from the kitchen--especially that chicken everybody keeps talking about. This is a great spot for early weekend brunch, late evening studying, or weekday coffee runs. Not too small, not too big. Beautiful lighting. A really good addition to Gretna.

The King Cake was fresh, soft, and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, with just the right amount of icing and traditional Mardi Gras flair.

Not wanting to leave empty-handed...I grabbed a slice of cake and some sweet potato pie...and let me tell you...both were absolutely excellent...rich, flavorful, and worth every bite...that alone convinced me it would be worth making a return trip...so much so...I actually changed my travel plans from 4am to 6am just to try those beignets. The next morning...I arrived right at 6am...along with about five other customers already waiting outside...we stood there expecting the doors to open...but after a while...one customer called inside and was told they couldn't open because they didn't have a cashier yet...one by one...everyone left. I stayed until about 6:15am...hoping things would turn around...but eventually had to leave as well. That was definitely disappointing...especially knowing they lost at least five or more customers that morning. I'm really hoping this was just a one-time situation...because based on the cake and pie alone...this place has something special...I'll definitely give them another shot on my next visit... but hopefully next time...the service matches the quality of the desserts.

FYI - drinks reasonably priced. I opted for Spinach & Swiss omelette, hash browns well done and biscuit. He opted for Meatlover's omelette, hash browns and toast. 25 minutes later breakfast was served. Husband's order was fine: tasty omelette, and the toast was well buttered. Mine? The Swiss was sticking out of the omelette and it was a slice not melted. The cheese inside the omelette was melted, and overall it had good flavor. The hash browns had good flavor, but they were not well done. The biscuit was not buttered - there was butter on the table - and it was nice and dense to support slathering it in jelly. The waitress checked on us a couple of times. I made no comment whether it was good or bad, because I was going to eat it anyway. As a general rule I don't send things back, and in this instance given the time it took to get it, I was starved and certainly wasn't sending it back. Leftovers box and checkout was super quick.
