Of course you can't leave New Orleans without a stop at Cafe Du Monde. Known for the coffee and the beignets. Now granted there are plenty great beignet spot but this is just a well know one you have the to visit. This location has a drive thru and yes it gets packed. The parking space is small so if you choose to go inside you will have to park at one of the businesses next door. This is a touristy spot so they offer coffee and the beignet mix to take home. The are very fluffy not to sweet and sipping it with some smooth nicely roasted coffee always hit the spot.
I had to go to Cafe Du Monde to try their World Famous Beignets. You order, cafeteria style. You have a choice of beverages. The beignets are 3 per order. The staff were helpful and suggested I tried their coffee with chicory. Be prepared for a bath of powder sugar, once you bite into the warm pillowy bread...amazing. It's an experience you can't miss
We had relatives visiting from San Jose, CA for the Saints and Raiders game and they've always heard of the beignets in NOLA but never had an opportunity to try them until recent. We got four orders of the beignets (3 come in one order...all were soft, sweet and pillowy). The cashier let us sample the frozen coffee which was fantastic. A little on the pricey side but it was delish so everyone ordered one. The service was great and the staff were super friendly. So, we ended up making a few trips back because they were that addictive to them and cheaper than getting them at the airport. The seating area was filled with patrons and seemed to be very inviting for customers to chat it up...cuz it was loud in there. Anyway, you can't go wrong with a Cafe Du Monde beignet!
Came by for an evening order of beignets and iced cafe au lait. Even an hour before they close the beignets were hot and iced coffee was good. The drive thru staff was very friendly. It was already dark and the April weather was nice. If we were not in a hurry, I would have eaten them in the outside dining area.
Of course, we had to stop by Cafe Du Monde to try their famous beignets and coffee. The line was long since there was an event in the city for the whole weekend, but the service was quick. Several tables were also available, so people could hang out if they wanted to. I ordered the Beignets (3 pcs) and Cafe Mocha. The beignets were so good. They were thick and fluffy; they tasted fresh. I love watching how they make the beignets. The Cafe Mocha was great, too. It was not too sweet and tasted a bit strong and chocolatey, which I liked. Overall, Cafe Du Monde is a must-stop in New Orleans. We visited several times because we loved their beignets and coffee. I even bought a can of Coffee and Chicory, and French Roast Coffee to enjoy back home.
Recommend: Unfortunately, there 'isn't' anything here to... 'recommend'. It's a simple, air conditioned, coffee shop with uninviting, lacking-customer involvement, bland, decor and hard seating. [**Cautionary note**: The sidewalk was heavily damaged, cracked, and steeply angled creating a challenge to walk on due to it's slant and unevenly broken slabs. My handicapped party member had to be hand-held to traverse it safely from the handicap parking spot! Someone will get hurt here in a matter of time so I hope Management addresses this.] There is a lot of hype here - for this place. However, I can't say this place was mesmerizing, fantastical or anything other than a historically appreciative, coffee shop that serves delicious Beignets. What are they? Basically, tasty miniature versions of Funnel Cakes if you were... laiden with powdered sugar. Diabetics; please be careful. A simple cafe, historical to the NOLA area but nothing unique, quasi-entertaining or remarkably impressive to say 'please go here' if visiting the New Orleans area. The customer service was almost non existent aside from ordering and as you have to take your trays to a little drop off window when done. Again, no customer service interaction. The coffee is nothing to write home about in addition, and sadly, that's it. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad per se here, but very, very overhyped and I digress, it's better to be honest and truthful here. If a blind person walked in here, they'd no better no this place than any other of the 1K coffee shops that might sell hot dough as a side dish. I wonder, truly if other locations are better presented, maybe, and I hope so. This location was lackluster to my entire party of 6 who visited this place on a Monday afternoon from out of state. You decide!
Finally came here for my self as an adult my mom has always kept these beignets in the cabinet growing up in Texas and now coming to the actual CAFE felt like connecting to a piece of my childhood I never really explored or knew the roots of! Service was very homely and welcoming like my great great great grandmas cousin grand daughter's niece was serving or something! Ambiance was nostalgic. Iced coffee was amazing! Definitely was cold for hours and hours on the ride back to dallas from my Madi Gras visit! Highly recommend!
Yay, I finally got to visit Cafe Du Monde on our way to Yellowstone. I ordered a small coffee that was black and very hot. I wanted to see how coffee with Chickory tasted! Yum! I also bought a bag of 3 beignets that were covered in powdered sugar. I was covered in the sugar and so was the floor. They were out of this world! I got an extra order to take with us along with souvenirs, a plate, a few cups and the cutest expresso mini cup. This stop certainly made my day!
Whenever you're in NOLA, it is a requirement to stop by Cafe du Monde for beignets. This location has both a drive-thru and an outdoor patio. Staff does a fantastic job of keeping this place clean, consistently wiping down the tables to ensure that you're not sitting in leftover powdered sugar from previous patrons. I much prefer this location over the French Quarter location since it's much less crowded, and the beignets come out quickly. There's not much else to say about Cafe du Monde - the name says it all and I''ll always recommend it.
IYKYK, beignets are the best thing since...well, bread. I do favour a certain "cafe" version on Royal, but I digress. Iced Cafe Au Lait is a lifesaver when the "feels like" is 101F. And a beignet is just the "sugar on top"... See what i did there? Yes, the beignets have gotten a little smaller, but they're still thick and chewy-so just consider it a built in portion control.
First, what an incredibly friendly staff. The coffee was pretty amazing, as well. The overall ambiance was pleasant, especially considering it is in a shopping mall. The coffee is strong, but I mean that in a positive way. I would definitely recommend here. read more

No matter where I go to try beignets I always end up back at cafe du monde. So light and fluffy, cooked to perfection, soft on the outside, slightly crisp on the edges, with plenty of powdered sugar. I can't eat all 3 in one sitting! I also love the cafe au lait. read more
Cafe Du Monde truly has a special place in my heart since I'm a Louisiana native. Beignets are desserts you can't live without. Fresh with powdered sugar along with cafe au lait. No complaints here at all. After Sophia and I ate lunch, Sophia and I stopped here to cap off the afternoon. Let's find out how everything went. The staff greeted the two of us when we walked in. It wasn't fully packed with customers which was fine for both of us. Staff was pretty busy and the decor was spotless all around. Always wonderful to see Cafe Du Monde keep it cool for everyone. And as you guessed, we both ordered beignets and small frozen cafe au laits. And, just like many, many visits before, we left happy. Nothing is more satisfying than enjoying well made desserts to cap off the afternoon. There you have it. Cafe Du Monde knocked it out of the park. Keep up the great work :) read more

Not the best beignets I've had, but they were decent.. Quick service, but honestly overhyped. The beignets were just okay, not amazing like everyone says. The coffee was good, though, probably the best part of the visit lol read more

No trip to New Orleans is complete without stopping into a cafe Du Monde. On this trip this particular location was closest to us. We've realized all the locations are amazing. I always get the traditional beignets but this time was my first time getting the frozen cafe au lait and it will be my go to from now on! read more

The service here is super fast, so don't let the lines intimidate you! The atmosphere is not as welcoming, but I'm sure it's because they receive heavy foot traffic. Coming from California-- I have to say, these were THE BEST beignets I've ever had! Oh my gosh, they were so delicious I could eat this whole tray to myself! They were warm, light, fluffy, airy, and sweet! The coffee was nothing spectacular, but it did compliment the beignets. This place was also super affordable and budget friendly. I'm having flashbacks and withdrawals already!! read more

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND VISIT CAFE DU MONDE NOW! This place has the most delicious beignets and frozen coffee drinks ever!!! The beignets are warm and coated with powdered sugar perfectly. The frozen coffee drinks have a profound coffee taste, yet it is so refreshing. I highly recommend the Mocha-flavored coffee. I even love how this cafe has a drive-thru. This location is not busy as others, which is perfect! Come here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Always 10/10 service! Cannot beat dipping your begniets into the hot coffee! Always my first stop when I come visit family. (Important note: avoid wearing black, and do not... I repeat, DO NOT! DON'T INHALE BEFORE TAKING A BITE!!! You will cough and shoot powdered sugar EVERYWHERE!!! Take a deep breath and them hold your breath, THEN take a bite. Trust me, I forget every year, and every year my family gets pictures of me covered in a fluffy mess) read more
Fresh, hot, sugary beignets! YES PLEASE. New Orleans beignets are like no other, and cafe du monde is now a franchise, and the batter is all the same, so you can't go wrong at any location. Anyway, the service is always amazing. Just like I remember back in 2004 from my last trip here. The beignets haven't changed, still beyond delicious. And ready to give you diabetes with a giant scoop of powered sugar- and a MUST TRY IF YOU'RE IN THE CITY. Every location prices vary, around $2.60-$4 for 3 beignets, served on a plate or to go in a paper bag. They are not good to take home and wait, they are best fresh as they are fried. read more

1) is what it is: Beignets -were tasty (light fluffy - light deep fried texture and warm -the dark roasted coffee and chicory -had tall BLACK - no sugar or no cream - i wanted the full flavor on its own - (reminded me of real root beer flavor & a little like Jägermeister flavor and rich dark french toast - was not bitter tasting to me 2) fast drive through service around closing time 3) our hotel is by this location - we are going to go experience the busy location in the historical french quarters soon (drove by the busy one today -a lot of people in line with raincoats & umbrellas -ummm we kept driving ! another day -just go and LOOK UP the menu before you go there - it's real simple not rocket science (New Orleans keeps it simple and people are laid-back relaxed nature here (it's not the north east -don't expect rushing or yelling; and impatience and being bossy doesn't work in New Orleans !!!) nothing negative to say from me check out their website read more

I met a couple of friends here last night for dessert and a chat. Immediately I noticed that things just weren't very tidy. The floors were covered with powdered sugar and several tables hadn't been cleared. They were empty of patrons, but full of napkins, cups, trays, etc. I stepped up to place my order and the employees just milled around like I wasn't there. I think it must have been shift change because the guy who finally helped me said he was on his way out. He was friendly and helpful, and our order was ready fairly quickly. My iced mocha was delicious, but my beignets were a little over cooked. All in all not a bad visit. My friends and I hung out for a couple of hours and enjoyed our time together. I'm going to give them 4 stars although 3.5 would be a more accurate choice. I love the original Cafe du Monde and this location just didn't provide the same quality food on this visit. Still good beignets, but just a little over done, and the entire place could use a good scrubbing. read more
