Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Been waiting to visit this place for a while. I've been to New Orleans but never to site see or just relax I really enjoyed the Beignet and coffee just right I didn't buy a can but I will. And I got a coffee mug. The cashier was very sweet I don't remember her name. Thank You"
"Finally came here for my self as an adult my mom has always kept these beignets in the cabinet growing up in Texas and now coming to the actual CAFE felt like connecting to a piece of my childhood I never really explored or knew the roots of! Service was very homely and welcoming like my great great great grandmas cousin grand daughter’s niece was serving or something! Ambiance was nostalgic. Iced coffee was amazing! Definitely was cold for hours and hours on the ride back to dallas from my Madi Gras visit! Highly recommend!"
"Whenever we’re in New Orleans, we stop at this location of Café Du Monde The staff is always friendly and we really enjoy the beignets and coffee."
"Absolutely divine shop. The beignets were top notch. The hot chocolate and coffee were great. The atmosphere was semi quiet, and you were able to hear your table mates. The service was great. Definitely would recommend for a place where you just need to chill and feast on absolutely divine beignets."
"love the vibe.. beignets are a must if you come to new orleans, perfect mix With a mocha"
"Had the opportunity to visit the Metairie branch and loved the experience. Felt very homey and was greeted so nicely by the staff. The beignets were warm, fluffy, and thoroughly coated with powdered sugar. We knocked out a plate instantly! The iced cafe au lait was a miss for me but I am particular about my coffee and it was just a little too watery for my taste. Overall, great experience and recommend to anyone visiting NOLA to try!"
"Good prices, great location, fast and good service! They keep it simple here which I like a lot, you can slip in and out fairly easily, no muss, no fuss. They also have a drive through. I got two bags for Beignets here, ate one in the car which do course caused a powdered sugar explosion . I had put the back within a grocery bag which kept most of the sugar from spilling, but I was unable to stop myself from nomming at one in the car. Flew the rest of them home with my sisters where they reheated the rest in the oven and polished them off. Overall tasty and a good experience."
"Had a business meeting here. Had a great cafe latte. But obviously they are best known for their beignets. Can't come here without getting those. The staff here was very nice. The bathrooms were clean. Plenty of parking. It is a really nice place to meet with a friend and catch up."
