What People Are Saying About Cafe du Monde
Featured Review

In Short – Since 1862, this venerable French Quarter favorite is a perfect spot to watch the world go by at any time of day or night. White-jacketed servers gingerly navigate between crowded tables inside and on the patio, and street musicians often set up nearby. Beignets (fried, rectangle-shaped doughnuts covered in confectioner's sugar) and dark-roasted cafe au laits are the staples here. Also available are fresh-squeezed orange juice, regular and chocolate milk, hot chocolate and soft drinks.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- It's cash-only here.

Great coffee too
by vcannady at Citysearch
Best coffee (au lait) I've found in the South. Beignets are served hot, doughy and not too sweet. The sweetness cones from the generous powdered sugar.
So happy I hit to taste the original Beignet experience.
The to-go line moves fast and service is friendly.

Interesting experience
by Jimmy Shanks at Citysearch
Sat out on the patio eating fried powdered donuts and coffee and all of the sudden if flash flooded so we ran inside. Wasn't their fault and we definitely had fun.

Beignets
by momof2dotters at Citysearch
Dan and I made our first visit to NOLA February 20 11.
My daughter and his brother encourged us not to miss CdM, and we didn't. It was cold, drizzling rain and we were tired. CdM was warm and dry. The coffee was great and the Beignets were heavenly. It was crowded and very busy but we did not wait long for service. Hey people, it's NOLA! It's the culture, the mystique the tradition. I did not use the rest rooms but I have seen plenty other discusting facilities in well known restaurantes. Give the city a break, it's romantic. Embrace the culture, you can always go home. *It is cash only.
