The beignet...
Bill V.

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.

Great location to try a beignet and get a good cup of coffee. No waiting in long lines, staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very cute. I wasn't disappointed with the beignet and got some cute souvenirs at very reasonable prices. 3245 Williams Blvd Kenner, LA

First day in New Orleans

This location is actually close to the airport and while it's not the legendary location, it still serves up fluffy light beignets sure to delight anyone who searches them out. On this day my niece and I stopped in for iced coffees and little pillows of deliciousness. This location is large and the décor resembles Decatur Street in style, it lacks the hustle and bustle of a busy New Orleans street. No clip clop of the mule pulled carriages, the tapping of a you g dancers feet, music wafting through the air or tourists queuing up. No this location seems more the quite respite and while I have visited several times; it never seems busy. It's the hot tip if you want authentic beignets before heading out of town or first thing when you arrive (I'm having In-n-Out déja vu) from some far away place that doesn't serve up this locals only delicacy. I give just one bit of advice, if you grab and go, take your first bite before you get in the car or powdered sugar will surely take it's place beside the glitter between the seats

See all

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)

Delicious! Everything is tried was excellent…read more They are individually packaged with makes it super easy to choose what you like, and prices aren't bad at all either. I picked: a large fluffy maple roll. The outside reminded me of a croissant in the best way with some mild maple sweetness and the inside was moist, pillowy, and rich. I heated it up in the oven next day which made it even better. A square coconut roll... crisp and flaky on the outside with the most delightful sweet coconut cream inside and flaked almonds on top. This was my favorite. Will get multiple next time. And a pair of taro rolls. These I was most excited for as I love taro, and they weren't bad at all, but were probably my least favorite of the 3, purely because they had an eggy aftertaste. They weren't overly sweet with a nice smooth taro filling. I also tried a taro milk tea with soy milk. These normally include lavender too, but I asked for mine without. The flavor was off the charts good. Strangely it was nothing like the usual taro drinks I've tried and I couldn't place what I was tasting, but it was rich and creamy and so satisfying. Only thing that bummed me out was that I ordered boba and there wasn't any. :(

Great Ambiance, nice Drink. Nice people. I pass this place…read moreevery morning with no time to stop. I had time today!! I mean, I love Matcha so it was a must try. The look of the place is very welcoming and apparently I'm late to the party because the line was long. Only thing, there were only 2 workers so it moved a little on the slower side. Also, they get cool points for the cute little reading nook area. I ordered the white chocolate matcha with oat milk. The matcha itself is high quality. Idk. You can just tell. Nice and bright, beautiful green matcha. The flavor is great. My problem was, that's all I could taste was the might. Almost forgot there was chocolate in there because I couldn't taste it at all but I watched the barista put it in the cup and it wasn't very sweet. Still a great matcha by itself. I'd definitely go back because I was eyeing the lavender matcha. Besides the lack of chocolate flavor and the wait time this is a nice coffee shop and definitely worth visiting.

Rating: 7.8/10…read more Located inside the Lakeside Mall, this place was convenient. This place had been hyped up by a lot of coffee lovers I know so I was happy to try it. I got the Lavender Matcha with vanilla ($7) and it was good, I did want a bit more intensity of flavor but not bad at all. The reason for points off is that the employee was the only one working and the line was long. She was knocking orders out well but she definitely needed assistance.
