You gotta go. It's New Orleans!!!…read more Cafe du Monde is one of those places where you just have to embrace the chaos, get powdered sugar all over your body and have some fun with it. The beignets + cafe au lait are exactly what you want, and it's such a perfect spot to sit, relax, people watch and take in all the New Orleans craziness around you. My favorite time to go is either really late at night or ridiculously early in the morning. Both just hit different. Also... CASH ONLY!!! If you sit at a table the servers come to you quick! Powdered sugar covered clothes are basically a souvenir. 10/10 New Orleans experience.

It's funny, you tell just about anyone you're going to New Orleans and almost always the first…read moreplace they bring up is Cafe Du Monde. I'd literally been told I had to go here so many times that by the time I landed in New Orleans, I pretty much made a beeline straight for this legendary cafe. This cafe is located right outside Jackson Square right off the waterfront. They are open late, as they close at either 11p or 12am every day. When we went in the middle of the afternoon, the place was very busy as it was hard to find a table in their outside patio, so we settled for a table in the indoor section(A/C SCORE!!). The ground was littered with powdered sugar as customers like myself don't always understand how to eat these beignets without making a big mess. The beignets themselves were pretty inexpensive as they cost only $4.53 for a 3-pack. I also got a large frozen coffee for $7.70. The beignets were delivered to our table very fast and very warm. The movie "Chef" says you only get your first bite of your first beignet from Cafe Du Monde once in your life and to cherish the moment and I do truly understand what they meant with that quote. These beignets were so great and that first bite with the powdered sugar explosion was so amazing-I really enjoyed the recklessness of having a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Overall, I feel that anyone who visits New Orleans has to find their way to this legendary cafe and enjoy this dish that has been served since 1862. A really great bite!.

I decided to DoorDash from Buttermilk Drop Bakery and Cafe, and I am so glad I did! The order was…read moreprepared quickly and was still warm when it arrived. I started off with a honey butter biscuit, which was soft yet crispy on the outside and had a nice sweet flavor. The only downside was that butter wasn't included in the order, so it was on the drier side. I then got an order of pancakes, which were delicious. I love when pancakes have a crispy edge where it was cooked in butter, and these did that perfectly. The smothered potatoes were unlike anything I have had before and were flavorful and a nice side. I then decided to try the glazed beignets, which were a nice sweet treat to end the meal with. They were a little dense, but I still enjoyed them! I will definitely be back if I find myself in New Orleans again!

Donut Bakery delivers a quality product and customer experience. I called this morning to ask if…read morethey take Apple Pay, and the owner answered the phone. She was polite and hospitable, and said she couldn't wait to see me. It was the type of interaction you'd expect from Chick-fil-a. When I arrived, a young lady, perhaps a teenager, took my order and quickly boxed up my two dozen donuts. Again, she was hospitable and patient. I felt valued, and not like I was bothering them for patronizing their business. The donuts were still warm when I got home. The family quickly devoured them. And the icing on the cake? Two dozen mixed donuts were only $22 including tax. Other donut shops and bakeries could take a lesson in customer service from this place. It's simple--either train your staff to interact respectfully and professionally with customers, or if they lack the people skills, consider placing them in roles behind the scenes where they can still contribute without impacting the customer experience. I'm talking to you Buttermilk Drop and Adrian's Bakery. Regarding ambience, it's seen better days, and it's in a sketchy part of town. And, yes, there was a car parked on the grass, almost on the sidewalk, in front of the store. Hehe! That said, it's a great value.

Very friendly service and amazingly delicious donuts that can be addictive…read more These are perhaps the most soft, fresh and huge glazed donuts I've had apart from Baker's Dozen.

Mr. B Donuts -- 5 I…read moremust say... Mr. B's has some of the BEST donuts I've had so far on the Westbank. And I only know of one other spot over there that can even compete with them! A true Algiers staple. Real hole in the wall energy, but don't let that fool you... they should be way bigger than they are. The donuts? Baby... Pillowy soft, moist, and fried perfectly. Like melt in your mouth good. They soooo good. The classic glazed is my go-to every time, but I'll grab other flavors for my coworkers too. Now I will say, they lean a little sweeter than your average donut, but that didn't stop NOTHING. Still tearing them up. I don't get to go as often as I'd like because it's the opposite direction from my job and my son's school, but when I do? Yeah... it's worth it every time. This is definitely my preferred donut shop. And the prices? Very reasonable. They really the front runners of the donut game from Algiers to Harvey. I said what I said. And on top of that, Black owned and operated by Mr. B himself. Yeah... go support.

Because I love a good bakery and I needed wifi. They had both! I ordered their biscuits and gravy. They are known for their biscuits so this made a lot of sense for me. The biscuit was a little chewy for me and required a little more effort to cut into. The gravy was yummy and savory. The coffee was great and for $3 it was a good deal! They have a Golden Hour Monday through Thursday with half off breakfast drinks and muffins. I'll have to come back for this. Service- My server, John, was great! He had great recommendations and was super helpful. Plus he kept my water and coffee full. Drinks- there are breakfast drinks! Parking- Paid street parking Happy Hour- There's a Golden hour in the morning!

There are some cute tables and chairs outside as well as about 10-15 seats at counters inside. I was greeted when I walked in and got in line at the counter. The pastries looked so fresh and delicious it was hard to choose just one. I went with a Pan O Chocolat, a chocolate filled croissant and iced latte. The prices are typical for a coffee and pastry. The croissant was so flaky and mouth watering. I ate very slowly enjoying each bite. The iced latte was good as well. I sat right by the espresso machine and enjoyed watching the baristas making coffees. I saw one come out with a perfect heart on top. They also have full bread loaves for sale as well as items for breakfast and lunch. I will definitely be back to try another pastry.

I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon roll due to the crunchiness of the raw cane sugar on top. Ayu is a counter service restaurant with a full service coffee setup. The line moves fairly quickly, so don't be deterred if the line is out the door. Seating is very limited, so we took our items to go. Definitely worth the visit!
