Excellent service despite an incredibly busy (and sometimes cranky) mix of tourists, and maybe a few locals. So glad our food tour guide from the previous day warned us about the dangers of the powdered sugar! To say we were wearing it was an understatement🤣 Yes, it’s busy and noisy, but so are all iconic travel experiences! Do yourself a favour and dunk the beignets!

If you are in downtown New Orleans for any reason, you MUST eat here. I don't care if you're on a diet, it doesn't matter. You cannot be in the area and pass up the opportunity to try some of Cafe Du Monde's heavenly beignets. To come to New Orleans and not try Cafe Du Monde beignets is a mistake you will regret for a long time. The beignets are just that good.

The experience of eating here is all you want from New Orleans as a tourist in a nutshell: a fresh, delicious, and generous helping of beignets, amazing street performers, and eating outdoors on one of the most popular and historic streets in New Orleans. Please do yourselves a favor and eat here. You'll be glad you did!

Note: Cafe Du Monte only takes cash. Plan accordingly.

Everything I dreamed it would be!! Yummy beignets and amazing coffee!! We came at night for dessert and the next morning for breakfast, it was THAT good! Can’t wait to come back!

Total tourist trap but totally worth it. The service is super fast. We went there for dessert after dinner and there was no wait and lots of tables open. We went back a second time for a mid-afternoon snack and tables open.

Coffee and beignets were good. However the ambience of the cafe is hurried, noisey and touristy. Line went quickly, wait was about 15 minutes. Service was subpar as they seem overwhelmed with the number of people and constant turnover. Suggest do the grab and go and enjoy the coffee and beignets elsewhere
