    Beignets!
    Pam M.

    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!

    The beignet...

    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.

    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.

    Lots of space here to sit. Beignets were warm and delicious. The coffee is just coffee. I don't see the hype in this very standard coffee. Service was friendly.

    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!

    A trip to #neworleans would not be complete without a stop at @cafedumonde for some #beignets. Beignets are a type of fried pastry/donut covered in powdered sugar, and it's best eaten fresh.

    Beignet!

    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.

    Cafe du Monde is an essential NOLA experience. It's fried dough and powdered sugar, but do it! The one thing that you need to be ready for (at this location) is the sticky, unclean tables.

    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

    They're like small Elephant ears, if you're big on Powdered sugar then you will love them. Especially with a side of coffee, delicious

    The beignets weren't that hot and didn't seem too fresh like the ones at the French Quarter always are. But there was no line here!

    I can't say enough good things about this place! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and…read moreabsolutely delicious from the first bite to the last. My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation. The woman who took our order was one of the sweetest people we've met. She was so welcoming, patient, and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

    I arrived very early for my flight back home and wanted to get something to eat that wasn't…read moretraditional since I've done that already. Cafetomas definitely hit the spot. The place was barely open when I arrived so I had it to myself for a while but soon, plenty regulars came in and joined me. The music is great, and not too loud and I loved how open yet intimate the setup was. My order: cortado, breakfast arepa with plantains, and a carrot/ginger juice because I just got off a cruise and my stomach was still feeling a way. Very nice to have REAL FOOD again. My heart and stomach both left here full to the brim. Thanks! Note: it does come with more plantains but I was too hungry lol
