Café Du Monde Description

You can't visit New Orleans and not try a beignet (a doughnut-like pastry, covered with powdered sugar) and some of Café du Monde's famous dark-roasted chickory coffee, both of which are local specialties. Café du Monde now has many locations, but the Decatur Street stand in the French market is the original, open since 1862.

  • Café

  • French

Planning Notes

  • Take your pick. Coffee is served either black our "au lait" style -- mixed with a generous serving of hot milk.
  • Don't just eat and run. The seating area is right in the heart of the French Market, a great place to people-watch.

Reviews of Café Du Monde

A MUST in New Orleans

By UnkaMark November 15, 2007 | Los Angeles, CA

What we loved:
The beignets are delicious; the place is a landmark. Go!

What we didn't love:
Can be crowded and noisy, but it's fun

You've got to go to Cafe du Monde when you're in N.O. - it's a great place to grab a mid-morning snack, a late afternoon rest stop, or for an after-hours binge. Kids will love the casual, slightly messy atmosphere (seating is all outdoors, on a huge covered patio); street performers hang nearby too so there's plenty of action to keep everybody intrigued. Just keep an eye on them as N.O. can be hectic. ALL they have are beignets, so it's not a lunch place, just a brunch or snack destination.
