Had a free day in NOLA and was told to visit this place. I'm not really into sweets but the begiets were pretty good. Took mine across to Jackson Park and enjoyed them. G Man more

We stopped here 3 times while we were in town. The best beignets ever and great/quick service. Can't wait to go back! more

Best beignets in the world! Okay now that that's out of the way, they have really good cafe lattes (who doesn't in New Orleans, its the chicory). The menu doesn't extend beyond beignets and coffee, but they do both exceptionally well. The wait staff isn't the best in the world, and the open environment can occasionally lend to the random... more

I thoroughly enjoyed my coffee and beignets; however, I see this place more as a great New Orleans institution than a great place for coffee and doughnuts. First time visitors should definitely go here; the sense of history is wonderful. But don't expect too much. more

If you're new to NOLA and haven't experienced Cafe Du Monde, it's a MUST DO. We travel to NOLA frequently, so don't always eat at this great restaurant, but occasionally get a hankering for beignets that only Cafe Du Monde can cure. One of a Kind restaurant and great people watching spot! more

Great coffee, great beignets! It gets crowded and the wait for a table can be long. I recommend getting in line for the self service window, the wait staff will take your order while your waiting in line. more

Wait is ridiculous. Service is slow but I actually think there is not enough staff. Coffee is over-roasted (french roast) and the beignets were over cooked. Had better beignets elsewhere. more

Go for the memory and experience, stay for the cafe au lait and beingets. Just a fun, light, tasty place to snack and people watch and have a European cafe experience in New Orleans. And I always bring home the coffee and mix...but its never the same though it reminds me of the good time. And its open 24 hours,... more

Having been raised on French Market coffee that my granny made every morning, I consider myself quite the connoisseur of this style of strong chickory blend coffee. You can't find a better cup of coffee than Cafe du Monde's cafe au lait!! Even the decaf cafe au lait is amazing. If you don't like strong coffee or if you only... more
