Café du Monde

ALWAYS crowded , but you will always find a seat. Great for a quick bite , but pretty noisy . You HAVE to try the beignets and Café au lait . It's a delicious little treat you have to try when visiting NO

Beignets will be unlike any dessert you have ever tried. The moment you take a bite, it takes you back to your childhood, brings you eternal youth and makes you feel like youre sliding down a rainbow.

For the sugar conscious: you can order without the powder sugar . Fried dough delicious with or without the white crack.

The beignets were everything I expected and more - best eaten hot and fresh. Worth the wait, grab some of their beignet mix to take home because trust me, you're going to crave these one you're home

This is the place for awesome French donuts . Don't get it confused with "New Orleans Famous Beignets and Coffee " which is just down the street. It is not the same by far...Go only here! (cash only )

WOW! Such a simple concept and executed just perfectly - grab an order of beignets and a cafe au lait (or frozen) and enjoy! Affordable. Delicious. Amazing.

Classic NO tradition, tho tbh it’s not that tasty. Assuming you know that, hit the take out only window in the back to save some time. Frozen cafe au lait is solid

Mardi Gras is just an excuse to chow down on beignets from the legendary Café du Monde. This Louisiana treat--fried dough covered in powdered sugar--is what every other doughnut dreams of becoming. Read more

Shhhh... the tourists don’t know about this place yet. A hidden gem !

The beignets , fluffy little pillows of delight dusted with confectioner powder! Cafe au lait , a coffee thats half hot milk & the other half coffee ... try it for a french flair for coffee and pastry !

New Orleans staple -- always make time for a few minutes to grab beignets and coffee . Open 24 hours // cash only

Its a classic thats consistently good & fast. Beignets & frozen cafe au lait (to help cool you down in the heat) is the perfect combo. Cash Only Spot!!

To get your beignets much quicker, do not enter the seating area. Instead, place your order at the doorway right on Decatur (to the left of the seating area if facing Café du Monde)

Since 1862. Open 24/7. It's a NoLa institution. Go here and try the beignets once and then go try the beignets at Cafe Beignet . These aren't bad at all, but they aren't best. Cafe Beignet for the win.

Found the beignets just ok(and I LOVE sweets). A little bit overrated place, anyway a visit is a must when in town for the 1st time. Came after dinner and found no lines at all, got my beignet quickly

Be prepare to wait under the hot sun as the crowds just keep pouring into this authentic Café Du Monde for their delicious, hot and yummy Beignets On earth. Also order their frozen coffee (to die for)

Aside from the no brainer reason to go being beneits, the iced cafe au lait is a cool compliment and it’s kind of funny to bask in the outdoor cafeteria setting w/ everyone dusted in powdered sugar .

Long line for patio but there's a shorter one for takeout . Also another outpost <1 mile away. This one is open 24 hrs. Go during off peak hours but you must go!

A can't-miss institution. The most brilliant part is you can get your beignet & café au lait fix 24-hours a day. Seat yourself at any open table and pay the server as they bring your order. Cash only .

Two lines , one for pick up window and one for seating. Be sure to distinguish which line you are in but either case worth the wait.

There is not other cafe at New Orleans with beignets like this. Are really awesome. Try to take a table, or just take an order to go while you walk trough the French Market

When in Nawlins, a must visit! I have been to this city numerous times in the past 2 decads Just order, sit back, enjoy fried dough w a sip of coffee . enjoy people watching & street performances !

Their beignets and coffee are off the chain! You definitely want to drop by here before leaving New Orleans. Even if it's crowded and you have to wait for a table, the line moves quickly. Worth it!

Better on a cold day. Less crowded and more appetizing . But, a must while in town either way. Stick to the classic beignet and café au lait .

Expect a wait...try to get one of the waiters and place a Take out order directly with him/her rather to wait to order at window. Make a mention you take care of them, and please do. They will behappy

We were there in April and even at 12 at night this place was busy! Excellent little cafe to grab a warm drink and a beignet ! They come out warm, too. I miss this place already!

The place to be for beignets and cafe au lait . But give their hot chocolate a try as well . It's a cash business only and can get crowded so be ready to wait.

This outdoor stand for beignets (New Orleans famous powdered doughnuts ) is also the perfect stop for Café au lait coffee right across from Jackson Square. Open 24 hours so you can get your fix anytime

Yes the line is long. Yes you have to have it if you’re visiting. It’s not life changing but they are good! Both lines move at the same pace.

Table service was very slow, but the take-out line moved quickly. The quality of beignets were inconsistent- flat beignets during busier times, delicious and fluffy beignets when less busy.

First time back in long time. Nothing has changed. Love the beignets and black coffee . Got ours at to go and enjoyed them in Jackson Sq.. Can also get your beignet fix at Morning Call at the City Park

Best time to come is evenings and early nights, beautiful setting. Relax, grab a table, sip your coffee , and take in the scenery and music around you. Romantic spot after sunset .

Best 5$ breakfast ever! Beignets are obviously amazing. Tip: the cafe says “seat yourself” so just walk in and grab a table- don’t mind the line .

There is always a line in the morning and afternoon... But no lines in the evening... Lines go fast so don't worry. Always a small band playing music on the street for you to enjoy!

One word: Beignets . Go here every morning for these amazing breakfast treats with coffee . Also, only tourists wait for a table. Residents walk in and just grab one. Do the same.

Across from Jackson Square, this outdoor stand for beignets (New Orleans famous powdered doughnuts ) is also the perfect stop for café au lait coffee . Open 24 hours so you can get your fix anytime.

"If you're ordering the delicious French-style beignets here, don't wear black." - Conan O'Brien

Must stop during your trip to New Orleans. If the line is long go around the side to the take out window and take your beignets across the street and sit in Jackson Square and take in the view .

A NOLA must! Gotta keep your eyes peeled for an open table though, and the service is depressing (no one is happy to be working there). THE best coffee - take home a can!

Patio and inside is self seating. Order everything when your server comes to your table the first time. Water, cafe a lait, beginetes. Pay with cash when they bring you everything at once.

This outdoor stand for beignets (New Orleans famous powdered doughnuts ) is the perfect breakfast or late night snack right across from Jackson Square. Open 24 hours get your fix anytime rain or shine.

Classic, must-visit New Orleans establishment. Beignets are delicious and paired perfectly with coffee . Come at off hours to avoid long lines .

No trip to New Orleans is complete till you visit cafe du monde. Beignets and cafe au lait are worth the wait. Use the powdered sugar from the beignet to sweeten the coffee .

Classic New Orleans! Love the beignets and coffee . Can be crowded but take some time for the experience. I never miss stopping when I'm in NOLA

Absolutely amazing and completely worth the wait. If the line seems too long for you now just come back when it's not breakfast hours, it will most likely be shorter.

Yes, it's cliché and a number one tourist spot, and yes, you should go. It's a classic not to be missed. Beignets are warm and coffee is good. Three (small) beignets per order, by the way.

The beignets are delicious! Order a cup of fresh coffee to top it off. Also, make sure you bring cash! They don't take credit or debit cards.

The one place in your life where you can truly order everything on the menu! Lines can be long so be prepared or come during off peak hours.

|⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️| I’m a big Disney lover and traveler.. so I had to stop here when visiting. Obviously when there get a plate ..or plates of Beignets . I don’t drink coffee but the coffee smelt wonderful.

What can I say? This is an icon of New Orleans. While you may be able to get "better" beignets elsewhere, this is on the "must do" list if you want to experience the essence of NOLA.
