Long line, I mean a very long line. Not what I remember from my childhood. 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.

Cafe Du Monde was not what I had expected it to be. I thought it was going to be a cute little cafe where there are many things on the menu, but beignets are the popular item. I had a very cozy image in the head. Quite the contrast is true! Though its set across the Jackson Square, it's a... more
