    Had really high expectations. To try the beignets in New Orleans. These are very doughy. I love that they have a lot of powder sugar. The service was good.

    Beignets!

    You HAVE to try beignets and chicory coffee at this historical gem! It's a little chaotic, but that's part of the fun! You might have to wait to be served, but these waiters and waitresses are pros and will get you your order, piping hot! The beignets were loaded with powdered sugar but delicious and worth the wait! Loved the chicory Au Lait coffee!

    It's sometimes difficult to give a review for a place so iconic and famous. Honestly, all I can say is the hype is real. This place is amazing. The beignets were warm and delicious. The service was great and the cafe has ample seating for rush hour! The cafe was clean and comfortable.

    While I was in town I took my husband to Cafe Du Monde for his first visit. We opted for the location in Kenner in hopes that it wouldn't be as slammed as the other spots deeper in NOLA. Thankfully it wasn't too busy so we were able to go up to the counter and order food immediately. Beignets here are top notch and nowhere can touch how good they are especially when fresh! The staff were incredibly friendly and the space was immaculate. We also grabbed some souvenir mugs because how could we not? My husband loved the beignets and coffee here and is already jonesing to return!

    (Chris Helmsworth voiceover) The vibe is when in LA you must get the Café Du Monde beignet! Jennifer warmly greeted me! She is super nice! Got their incredible Cafe Au Lait! Incroyable! Takes me back to when I was much younger! And of course the golden crisp beignets under a thin coat of fresh powdered heavenly sugar! Ooh la la! Don't tell your endocrinologist. Shhhh. Haha! Would order everything again! Thanks, Jennifer! Woohoo!

    Was visiting NOLA for the first time and wanted to come here because it was highly suggested to me for beignets. As I was touring the Decatur street location, not only was the to-go line for beignets super long but they also only took cash, which I didn't have. I saw that this location was right by my hotel in Kenner. They also accepted card, which I preferred. Inside the location was not crowded at all, and people were sitting scattered. It didn't take long to receive my hot beignets and sit down to enjoy them. They were warm, light, airy, and fresh. I really didn't need to eat all three, and donated the other two to a homeless person. All this time, I just thought it was a fancier donut, but it's its own entity in terms of being slightly different.

    I've been here many times before and I love the beignets. I usually will go through the drive thru though. This night I actually ended up going inside and it was great. Everyone was super nice. The beignets were ready in about 5 minutes. Super fresh, hot. My son enjoyed himself and they even gave him one of the hats which brought me back to my childhood days! I think moving forward we will be coming to sit inside and have the experience . Highly recommend.

    Lots of space here to sit. Beignets were warm and delicious. The coffee is just coffee. I don't see the hype in this very standard coffee. Service was friendly.

    I stopped by on my way home just for a small chat, colossal mugs, a coffee cup and 3 beignets. It was pouring out so this is the best pick me up for me! I've always liked any of the locations because the service is always great. No matter who helps you, you're for sure get some sort of special story. The next day my car was full of powered sugar!!

    I love to visit when I'm in town and have a need for some delicious, hot beignets and cafe au lait. No other place compares or even comes remotely close. Their cafe au lait is just superb. They also have other coffee but hey if you come here you must get the cafe au lait. Avoid black clothes because the powdered sugar on top is plentiful!

    A trip to #neworleans would not be complete without a stop at @cafedumonde for some #beignets. Beignets are a type of fried pastry/donut covered in powdered sugar, and it's best eaten fresh.

    Beignet!

    Well once you go into this restaurant you're just going to have a seat. They are going to spot you and they will come over and help you out with your order. You can't go wrong here. There are a lot of Asian ladies as servers here. I went to New Orleans thinking I would see more authentic New Orleans people there but it was more Asian there. I just love that New Orleans accent when they speak, so beautiful.

    Cafe du Monde is an essential NOLA experience. It's fried dough and powdered sugar, but do it! The one thing that you need to be ready for (at this location) is the sticky, unclean tables.

    I ordered your ube cake as a PURE Filipino , I can assure you that the "ube" cake, ain't no ube…read more Its some knock off trashy ass taro from temu, Im guessing its watered down 95% water and the other 5 as ube cuz it looks pale ASF. Im pretty sure its actually purple food coloring and not actual ube, the only reason why I'm not placing a 1 star is because the first time I bought a cake from this place, it was actually good (some coffee cake). This bakery made decent cakes till I tried YOUR UBE CAKE. If you want to copy trends and mix asian culture into your goods, then DO IT PROPERLY, or at least research on how to make ube. Try making ube jam instead and place it in the cake, that would taste WAY better. Also the yellow icy part inside the cake would've been delightful if it was cheese and not some random yellow piss ice. Ube is commonly topped with cheese, this bakery really missed the opportunity to actually be culturally on point. So much for Ube getting mainstream if none of these businesses get it right anyway. They always mess up asian cuisines and culture by making their "own version". Dont disrespect our ube broski (I can feel/taste the ube on the paste but it just isnt enough, it needs more) (update, i take it back. Tried it in the morning where it wasn't as cold. It was actually soft and spongy, the ube taste was stronger and it was quite delectable. Keep up the good work, i see room for improvement though)

    This is a cute bakery with so many baked good options! When you walk in there's two walls of…read morepackaged baked goods you can choose from. The prices are super good for being so fresh. I got a cheese bread for about $3 and a tuna sandwich for $5! You can order your drinks at the kiosk or at the counter. And you can bring your items to the counter for them to ring up. The process was pretty easy. It's a nice open space for grabbing a drink and yummy treat. There is no wifi however so it's not the best place to work for the day. Service: Self serve and then pay at the counter Drinks: Lots of different options here Wifi: Unfortunately they don't have this. Parking: There's a small lot in front and signs for parking in the back. Outdoor Seating: None
