Cafe Du Monde

Great beignets and the service has gotten much better. The restroom was clean. My kids love the big fish sculpture and always want me to take their picture by it.

Perfect way to say good-​bye to NOLA before getting on a plane. Only 5 stars because it is not in the Quarters ;-)

Sometimes you just want some delicious beignets and café au lait without the hassle and craziness of the French quarter. No seriously.
This particular location has really wonderful service with the same delicious coffee and beignets (pronounced ben-​yays). I am originally from New Orleans so sometimes I’d rather not drive all the way to the French Quarter, find parking, and deal with the craziness (albeit the quarter is amazing). I can get to this location fairly quick, find parking in seconds, and have some delicious beignets (pronounced ben-​yays). They also have a drive through for those who are in a hurry!

Chocolate milk and Beignets! What else do you need to know? #Awesome! Located not far from the mall and interstate. Definitely recommend going.

Love beignet and chicory coffee, had it every day while in NOLA and on the day we left rather than go back to the French quarter we went to this Café Du Monde on the way out of town, easy to get to on Williams Boulevard. The staff was very sweet and helpful. You get a lot more powdered sugar in the French Quarter than you get at this one, though, though you can ask for more I’m sure. It also has a drive through. Wish we had one in Tennessee.

Friendly staff, great bignets and coffee! You can never go wrong with Café Du Monde. Bought a huge coffee cup to take back home. Ice coffee is amazing, not too sweet. Looking forward to visiting the French Market location soon!

A MUST when in New Orleans. Their special is their Café Au Lait & they are also famously known for their beignets. In fact, the beignet mix is sold in the New Orleans airport.
For those unsure of what a beignet is — the best way I can describe it is that it is like a donut that doesn’t have the center cut out and it is in the shape of a square. Unlike an airy donut, beignets are more dense and have a more bread like consistency. It usually comes with white powdered sugar on top.
We are trying to be a little health conscious, so we ask for the powdered sugar on the side and dip our beginents at our leisure. If you have not had one, I really recommend coming to Café Du Monde when you get a chance and having your first beignets!!! It’s a New Orleans classic.

Awful. Who puts cream and sugar and coffee without asking? And it was awful to boot. At $ 3.25 a pop, you would think they could at least purchase a better top.

I enjoy eating over much, but the days where I queue longer than an hour for food are long gone. So this location was like a life hack for me. We did the drive through, which was super fast. For less than $ 3, you get 3 beignets…4 if you’re lucky like us. I recommend not eating in the car, b/​c wow, that was a mess (Sorry, Hertz). I wish they had a Café du Monde inside the airport! Inside every airport!

Less crowded than the one in the French Quarter. Lots of seating, clean bathrooms, and plenty of café du monde souvenirs to choose from. However something about it makes it feel out of place and made me want to go back to the one in French Quarter.

My daughter with autism spilled her full drink just minutes after we purchased it. Could we get a refill? Sure, for the price of another drink. Amazing that every restaurant offers free refills, but not here, even if it’s an accident. Horrible customer service. The beignets were good though it’s not like there aren’t a dozen other places that offer the same quality but with better customer service

oh come on… who would give café du monde less than five stars? lol just kidding but seriously. I took a three day two night trip to New Orleans which went by way too quick. I got extremely lucky they were five lights down from my hotel otherwise I would have been out of luck. The French quarter location was a bit too far. The staff was very nice and the location was perfect. parking was no problem and neither was seating. They had souvenir shelving with many different to items to purchase like; praline candy, coffee, mugs and etc. The beignets were hands down awesome! I tried two different coffee’s. The French press and New Orleans chicory. I preferred the French press.

Okay fine, the beignets are probably the best I’ve ever had. We stopped by here because it was close to our hotel and they had a drive thru window. The beignets are smaller than at Café Beignet but they have a different texture inside. They are fluffier and the outside is more crisp. Getting them in a to go bag means you can shake it up in the powdery sugar goodness and make sure it’s covered on all sides. I was worried that some reviews said their beignets did not come out hot and fresh but ours were! I do think the café au lait was better at Café Beignet though. Glad I could try these and not have to wait in a super long line.
PS — Don’t eat them in your car especially if you have a black interior. Not a good idea. :)

Beignets are just a part of my return to N.O. So my friend and I were doing a little shopping and I spotted that place. Picked a small order of them to-​go. We got to my friends place and they were already barely warm :(But they were fried doughy yumminess. Although there wasn’t much powdered sugar. And the guy kept my change. Like didn’t even try to hand it over but we were just ready to go.

Beignets are cooked and kept in a metal pan with a top till you order them. At that time they put the power sugar on. If you like fresh out of the frier beignets, come at peak times. I was here when there were not many people and beignets and coffee were only warm. Big space with Lots of tables. They have memorabilia, soft drinks, chocolate milk, white milk, gift baskets.

The best place to have coffee & beignet! The reason I’m giving it four stars is for the coffee. I’m use to have Nespresso coffee and no coffee can beat that. Other than that the atmosphere and beignet is awesome!
There is always a line outside but don’t get discourage by the line. It moves along pretty fast. If you stay away from «rush hour» (breakfast– lunch– dinner times) there is barely any line.
Don’t forget to bring cash, since they don’t accept credit cards.
The beignets are perfect! Crunchy in the outsides and soft and doughy in the inside!
The place is open ²⁴⁄₇ and has been open for the last 144 years. You really feel you are in a movie, eating beignet, drinking coffee and having a saxophone player playing in the background.
Cross the street you can find their store which you can buy everything to make beignets at home.
If you visit New Orleans, this place is a must! Don’t let the line outside shy you away!

Café Du Monde was super smart to open a location here. I knew a trip to CDM was in order on my recent trip home. We usually go to the main location in the French Quarter but time got away from us and, before you know it, my trip was coming to a close.
Before catching my early flight, we decided to have beignets here to skip the parking situation in the FQ. I didn’t get a chance to look at their hours but they were open at 7ish in the morning (The one in the FQ is a ²⁴⁄₇ location except on select major holidays)! The space is located on Williams Blvd in Kenner which is merely minutes from the airport. We had no trouble parking since they have their own private lot. The location is huge with lots of tables and we dealt with no lines. Plus you’re in the AC. They also take credit cards here which is a plus since I never seem to have enough cash when I’m at the FQ one (they are cash only). The employees were super friendly considering it was so early in the morning so they get 2 thumbs up from me! And it was a Sunday!
The beignets were hot, fresh and delicious as always. Had to get a Café au lait to go with it too. They also have a huge selection of souvenirs like beignet mix, coffee, mugs. They even have Tervis tumblers with the logo!
This will probably be my go to location to get my beignet fix on my way out of town. Especially since they lack a location in the Southwest concourse.

Wow, I think I’d died and gone to heaven! Lol. I’ve never had this scrumptious dessert before. The beignets were not only blissfully delicious, they were served nice and fresh, and still warm! You can watch them make it as you wait for your order…
The place was nice and clean. Staff was nice and friendly too! Sit on the patio to enjoy your beignets and watch the cars go by!
I want one right now! =)

I ordered 3 Beignets for $ 2.42
The Beignetes were soft and the Powdered Sugar was heavenly.
A Top-​of-​the-​Line Meal from this Drive Thru.

This one was near our hotel. We went our first morning and our last morning. Fresh coffee and mocha café au lait. The Beignets! Lawd they were good. We brought a can of coffee home to enjoy later.
Clean store with great service.
