You HAVE to try beignets and chicory coffee at this historical gem! It's a little chaotic, but that's part of the fun! You might have to wait to be served, but these waiters and waitresses are pros and will get you your order, piping hot! The beignets were loaded with powdered sugar but delicious and worth the wait! Loved the chicory Au Lait coffee!
While I was in town I took my husband to Cafe Du Monde for his first visit. We opted for the location in Kenner in hopes that it wouldn't be as slammed as the other spots deeper in NOLA. Thankfully it wasn't too busy so we were able to go up to the counter and order food immediately. Beignets here are top notch and nowhere can touch how good they are especially when fresh! The staff were incredibly friendly and the space was immaculate. We also grabbed some souvenir mugs because how could we not? My husband loved the beignets and coffee here and is already jonesing to return!
(Chris Helmsworth voiceover) The vibe is when in LA you must get the Café Du Monde beignet! Jennifer warmly greeted me! She is super nice! Got their incredible Cafe Au Lait! Incroyable! Takes me back to when I was much younger! And of course the golden crisp beignets under a thin coat of fresh powdered heavenly sugar! Ooh la la! Don't tell your endocrinologist. Shhhh. Haha! Would order everything again! Thanks, Jennifer! Woohoo!
Was visiting NOLA for the first time and wanted to come here because it was highly suggested to me for beignets. As I was touring the Decatur street location, not only was the to-go line for beignets super long but they also only took cash, which I didn't have. I saw that this location was right by my hotel in Kenner. They also accepted card, which I preferred. Inside the location was not crowded at all, and people were sitting scattered. It didn't take long to receive my hot beignets and sit down to enjoy them. They were warm, light, airy, and fresh. I really didn't need to eat all three, and donated the other two to a homeless person. All this time, I just thought it was a fancier donut, but it's its own entity in terms of being slightly different.
I've been here many times before and I love the beignets. I usually will go through the drive thru though. This night I actually ended up going inside and it was great. Everyone was super nice. The beignets were ready in about 5 minutes. Super fresh, hot. My son enjoyed himself and they even gave him one of the hats which brought me back to my childhood days! I think moving forward we will be coming to sit inside and have the experience . Highly recommend.
I stopped by on my way home just for a small chat, colossal mugs, a coffee cup and 3 beignets. It was pouring out so this is the best pick me up for me! I've always liked any of the locations because the service is always great. No matter who helps you, you're for sure get some sort of special story. The next day my car was full of powered sugar!!
I love to visit when I'm in town and have a need for some delicious, hot beignets and cafe au lait. No other place compares or even comes remotely close. Their cafe au lait is just superb. They also have other coffee but hey if you come here you must get the cafe au lait. Avoid black clothes because the powdered sugar on top is plentiful!
Well once you go into this restaurant you're just going to have a seat. They are going to spot you and they will come over and help you out with your order. You can't go wrong here. There are a lot of Asian ladies as servers here. I went to New Orleans thinking I would see more authentic New Orleans people there but it was more Asian there. I just love that New Orleans accent when they speak, so beautiful.

Everyone was friendly and welcoming, that's a common theme down here I really appreciate. First time I've ever had beignets, I honestly don't know how I feel about them. They were fine but at the same time I don't think they're for me. Credit to them that they fried them up hot and fresh to order, these things don't sit around dying under a heat lamp or anything like that, you're getting a quality donut. I did really like the iced cafe au lait, the coffee is really good. I would recommend trying it yourself and forming your own opinion. Me personally I think I like donuts better than beignets, maybe because I'm approaching them with the mentality of a donut and how you can get different styles and flavors and whatnot. I almost think I'd enjoy these more if they had a glaze I could dip them in, or a fruit jelly or jam or something similar. I understand there are beignet shops that do that but I wanted to try the original based on its history. The coffee however is the star of the show. Better than Starbucks, Dunkin, Tim Horton's, 7 Brew, or any of those chain coffee places. I'd come here for the coffee if nothing else. read more

Had really high expectations. To try the beignets in New Orleans. These are very doughy. I love that they have a lot of powder sugar. The service was good. read more

It's sometimes difficult to give a review for a place so iconic and famous. Honestly, all I can say is the hype is real. This place is amazing. The beignets were warm and delicious. The service was great and the cafe has ample seating for rush hour! The cafe was clean and comfortable. read more

Great location to try a beignet and get a good cup of coffee. No waiting in long lines, staff is very friendly and the restaurant is very cute. I wasn't disappointed with the beignet and got some cute souvenirs at very reasonable prices. 3245 Williams Blvd Kenner, LA read more
This location is actually close to the airport and while it's not the legendary location, it still serves up fluffy light beignets sure to delight anyone who searches them out. On this day my niece and I stopped in for iced coffees and little pillows of deliciousness. This location is large and the décor resembles Decatur Street in style, it lacks the hustle and bustle of a busy New Orleans street. No clip clop of the mule pulled carriages, the tapping of a you g dancers feet, music wafting through the air or tourists queuing up. No this location seems more the quite respite and while I have visited several times; it never seems busy. It's the hot tip if you want authentic beignets before heading out of town or first thing when you arrive (I'm having In-n-Out déja vu) from some far away place that doesn't serve up this locals only delicacy. I give just one bit of advice, if you grab and go, take your first bite before you get in the car or powdered sugar will surely take it's place beside the glitter between the seats read more

Nevermind the long lines. Workflow is 100 here. It's easy in easy out. Obviously this place is world famous so I'm not gonna tell you how amazing the beignets are. But the experience is so cool. First it's CASH ONLY. I believe there are 2 lines, one for exclusively beignets and one for everything else. Have your order decided quick so when you get to the window you can tell them. It's fast. GET NAPKINS and anything else you need at that time! Stirs, sugar, straws etc because going back to the window Isn't really an option. I found a ton of open spots to sit, and it's covered so you're out of the sun. PARKING was kinda cray...I found street parking about a block away and somehow parked in an area that wasn't ticket-worthy? Or I got lucky and didn't get a ticket. Good eatins. read more
Cafe Du Monde... when in NOLA This location is right near the airport. If you are renting or returning a car, this place is minutes away... and about 12 mins from the actual airport. So convenient. I noticed that the beignets taste slightly different depending on the location, and I must say this one is THE BEST so far. It cannot get any fresher than this. I came by around 4:15pm on a Tuesday, and there were only 2 people inside. NO LINE- it was amazing. Customer service was quick and efficient, and the cashier told me they were going to make my beignets on the spot. Minutes later, it was ready. So hot I couldn't even eat it right away. The freshest and best beignets ever, covered in a mountain of powdered sugar! Yum! Thank you and I'll definitely be returning here. Happy eating! read more

When you want beignets there's really only one place that offers the nostalgia of New Orleans and the same great service every time. Plenty of parking. East access in and out. Same great flavor of those delicious puffed powdered sugar southern donuts. This location also has a small shop of souvenirs. All around for perfect for those of us who don't want to drive into the city. read more

This place hit the spot for breakfast for an 8am layover!! Was exploring the airport for a light meal that was cost friendly and stumbled upon this lil window. Line was short and I received my order of beignets & cafe au lait right away. I would say the beignets are not quite as fluffy as the French quarter ones, but still deliciously enjoyable, esp compared to other airport food!! Not too marked up either!! Great option if ur looking for a quick bite at Louis Armstrong airport!! read more
This Café Du Monde location is beignets that are consistently delicious and fresh. This location is fairly clean, especially compared to the one in the French Quarters. If you are looking for a delicious, hot, treat look no further than Café Du Monde. read more
We came here with high expectations knowing Cafe Du monde we been on is always good. but this location specifically is bogus. I ordered 8 order and 4 order separate beignets and the only thing they pack is 4 and 4 orders but charge me for 12 orders. I will not be back here for sure dishonest store. read more

Yum. So glad we decided to wait and come here while staying with friends instead of fighting the crowd at the Jackson Square location. It's the same stuff and no crowds. We ordered the cafe au lait and an order of beignets each. One of the coffees we ordered in the travel mug so we could take a souvenir with us. I don't drink coffee unless it's made with boiled or steamed milk and this was absolute delicious. The beignets were nice and puffy and warm. And they were bathed in powdered sugar. So dang good! Definitely worth stopping in to have it. They are good in their specialty for sure! The place was nice and bright and clean as were the restrooms. And the staff is all very friendly. read more

My daughter & I stopped by your buy and bring home beignets to California. Our coffee & beignets were sooooo good! read more
Cafe Du Monde has been cranking out fried pillows of dough in New Orleans since 1862 and they're an institution. This was my first trip to New Orleans, yet I was very familiar with them. We spent our first night at a hotel near the airport in Kenner and this shop was nearby. Without the long lines reported at the French Quarter location, which is open 24 hours, this one provided a good introduction. Stifle any urges to sneeze while sitting with a plate of three beignets in front of you. You will create a cloud of powdered sugar that might clear in an hour or so. To say they dust their begneits with the fluffy sugar does not come close to describing it. The begneits were hot and tasty. I'm not a big coffee fan, so the cafe au lait, spiked with chickory and milk, didn't appeal to me. But my companion said it was fine. They didn't realize it, but a couple of their employees were comedians. At separate times while we were sitting there, they came out into the dining room to wipe down the powdered sugar-covered tables. The first man wiped off the table next to us but only got about half the visible sugar picked up. A few minutes later, another man came by and got about half of the amount left. We didn't stay long enough to see if a third wiper could have gotten the small table cleaned off. We laughed as we walked out. read more

You may need to speak Spanish if you have any questions about the menu items. All but 2 workers seemed annoyed to be working today. But the service was fast and the beignets were excellent! Dinning area was clean and the gentleman was very prompt to clean after guests left. It was a good start to an early morning! read more
Cafe du monde is a historic place in New Orleans and I'm so glad I got to try! I wanted to visit the one in the French Quarter but the line was long all day & I'm sure the beignets are delicious no matter the location. At this one near the MSY airport, the inside is pretty large and there weren't that many people for a Sunday morning. The beignets lived up to their reputation. Loads of powdered sugar on the outside and the beignet itself was nice and doughy on the inside. Must visit...and then visit again! read more

Really really enjoyed it. Since I had really good experience at the original place, went there (different branch) on the way to the airport. Good food and kind staff. Very affordable price. No long line, and again very worth it. I had the beignets and a cup of latte and really good! Tables were clean. Went there on 3/20/2019 -A late post (I was there before COVID-19)- Food: Good Price: Good Service: Good Parking: Good Revisit plan: Yes if I have another opportunity to visit New Orleans again. read more

This is a great location. Same great beignets, same menu, plenty of seating, and clean bathrooms but without the wait like the famous but busy French Quarter store. You can still view them make the beignets just before serving you. Parking is easy....5 stars! read more
Very convenient location of Cafe Du Monde for those who weren't able to visit the original location. The service was quick and professional. The beignets were just like how I remembered it- amazing! The frozen coffee mocha au lait is very strong but delicious. It is located in Concourse B right before you go to the actual gates! Its a little hidden down you have to walk a little further down but you shouldn't miss it! This is a MUST go if you're in the airport! read more
