    Calas New Orleans Tremè treat
    Pseko I.

    Yum!!! My first reaction biting into these delectable treats is Wow!!! Then yum follows with my next bite. They make them fresh and hot with a curd that only adds to the mildly sweetened gluten free calas. They're vegetarian friendly too! Brandon is a wealth of knowledge of New Orleans history and culture. He's restored a piece of West African past which reaches back into the 13th-18th century peoples who populated these shores. All that and an amazing cup of coffee. A Tremè experience to remember. And a taste I'll not forget. Just across from the Historical Congo Square.

    If I were rating atmosphere alone- 3 stars would be generous…read more I am rating product and service because adding "ambiance", would do those who work here and their product a disservice. It takes a while to get your order because of low staffing. That said, when you get it of course it's beautiful and tastes great. Sitting just around the corner from Bourbon St. and the hustle and bustle energy that you walk thorough to get here- walking in was disappointing. It's a large open space with seating- and it's QUIET. No background music. It gives late night diner vibes and honestly, that's too bad. Adding music, upbeat- doesn't have to sound like a club but music and having more energy between staff and customers would greatly improve the experience and I believe, increase business. If there were some Fats Domino or 90s R&B flowing out of speakers and staff were smiling, upbeat, dancing etc. it would give more "legendary" experience verses midnight diner vibe. That alone made me not want to come back. Not everyone wants to drink alcohol so stopping to sit for a well made artistic milkshake is a great option. The energy brings down the vibe and experience. Match the ambiance, service and vibe to your menu and 5 stars all day.

    Chocolate brownie Milkshake was good but the price was crazy for the quality and flavor…read more Super pretty and the service was nice the chocolate ice cream and brownie tasted cheap $17 for the small size

    TL;DR - Despite how popular and what a tourist stop this is, you still HAVE to grab your beignets…read moreand coffee here, at least once. You do that, you may be stopping more than once. Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

    What can I say that hasn't already been said? I'm not even sure reviews make much of a difference…read morefor a place like this -it's an institution in its own right. Quick, affordable, and delicious pretty much sums it up. We stopped by for the iconic beignets and chicory coffee, and while the beignets were good, I have to admit I enjoyed the chicory coffee even more. No frills, no fuss, just a classic New Orleans experience that delivers exactly what you expect.
