    Of course the Beignets were great but trying to get service early in the afternoon was frustrating. We ended up getting take away. It was worth it though and the place seemed less busy in the evening

    Beignets: Cafe Du Monde. As much as it's a cliché, it is what it is. It's cliché for the right reason. They make coffee, chicory, and beignets. That's the menu

    The line is long, but it moves fast. Good spot for breakfast--take an order of beignets to go and eat them on a bench in Jackson Square.

    I've been to New Orleans many times & being a tea drinker, I have never stopped here. After many friends begged me to try CdM, I finally gave in... and WOW! Cafe au lait & beignets are outstanding!

    The indoor mall version of the original sticky and overcrowded coffee stand at the French Market ☕️

    Make sure you have cash. It's simple...beignets and coffee...get there before 9 to avoid the line.

    The wait for a table seems long but usually goes pretty fast. The coffee was great and the beignets were delicious.

    Can't beat cafe au lait and beignets ...service isn't exactly 4 star but don't let that stop you. Definitely head inside if you don't feel like waiting in line. And DON'T WEAR BLACK! haha

    Go around the back and order to go instead of waiting to sit down because eating in the park is nicer.

    Try the frozen cafe au lait. It's great when it's 95* out! The Riverwalk location is NOT "cash only," which is great.

    Watch how they magically convert a little flour, oil, and powder sugar into wads of cash in front of your very eyes...

    There is 1+ hour line for the patio. Everyone just gets in line. If you skip the line you can go indoor where it is self-seating.

    Well you gotta do it. Rain every day so couldn't go to the original location but thus mall location had the same beignets.

    The divine beignets (doughnuts) at this New Orleans institution are served warm with a generous coating of powdered sugar.

    The beignets here are very good, but I can't say the same about their cafe au lait.

    FOR BEST (FRESHEST) RESULTS: 1. Go inside to avoid the patio line. 2. Order drinks, NO BEIGNETS. 3. Order beignets when drinks arrive. The servers have to wait in line for drinks, but not for food.

    They’re too busy to keep the quality, often get undercooked beignets.

    Look for the tall older Creole man who busses your table while he croons. Classy!

    DO NOT go to the Riverwalk location, it's terrible -- the beignets were rocks. Make the trip to the "original"/"real" one on Decatur.
