Best

Best coffee (au lait) I've found in the South. Beignets are served hot, doughy and not too sweet. The sweetness cones from the generous powdered sugar. So happy I hit to taste ...

Worst

Everyone, and I repeat everyone must go there the first time they visit New Orleans, but this is only because it is a must, not because of the menu or the service. It is historic...

a NO institution 10/25/2002

No trip to NO is complete without at least 1 stop at Cafe Du Monde. It's a NO institution more

magnifique 9/27/2002

This is my favorite place to go to in New Orleans. I haven't been back to N.O. in years and really miss it. The beignets are the best. Even though the cafe au lait is strong, it's a must when you go to the Cafe du Monde. You can always add sugar. more

Being a New orleans native 9/17/2002

When I come home to visit my old hometown, Cafe du Monde still tops my lists of must-dos. Of course the beignets are good...a New Orleans must-do. However, the thing that gets me coming back is the Cafe Au Lait. I've never found coffee like this again, and believe me, I'VE LOOKED. Sadly, the canned version is no where close, and the same can be said for the beignet mix. If you want the real experience (and trust me you can't miss this one), stop in after a night in the quarter for coffee and beignets. You won't be sorry. If you are, please pass it my way and go home...because I miss it! more

You'll be wearing powdered sugar! 8/25/2002

No trip to New Orleans would be complete without having a beignet and coffee at Cafe Du Monde. Noisy, crowded but a must do! The beignets are great and worth the calories. Be sure to ask for extra napkins and even at that you'll wind up leaving wearing powdered sugar! more

Beignets? Horray!!! 8/24/2002

Always the BEST for beignets, despite many who try to imitate. Even the box mix 'works' perfectly for those who want to try it at home. Pros: CHEAP Cons: Parking more

yum 8/13/2002

I love these little donuts that have so much taste. To top it off you can have it with chocolate milk or coffee. It does not get any better than this. more

Don't waste your money! 7/3/2002

Okay, the beignets are fairly decent, but they're basically soapapillas (the Mexican equal) with powdered sugar on them. Buy a box in a grocery store (not the French Market!) and make your own. Whatever you do, don't get your coffee iced no matter how hot it is! If you do, you'll get maybe five swallows of it before it's gone, they put so much ice in it. I'm surprised anyone who lives in N.O. would bother to go there. There are tons of tourists, the lines are very long and they're expensive. I live in the Northwest where my latte's cost 99 cents. My experience was very bad, so there's no way I would recommend it. Cons: everything more

Over-rated! Skip It! Go anywhere else! 6/27/2002

Want a hunk of fried greasy dough early in the morning? That's what you get here. Covered in powdered sugar. Given that New Orleans has great restaurants like The Coffee Pot, Brennan's, and even La Madeliene, there is no good reason to go to the biggest toursit trap in New Orleans. The coffee tastes like mud. Good news, just one block down is La Madeleine for a better breakfast. Or just one block over, and two blocks down is The Old Coffee pot, one New Orleans best places for breakfast. Cons: greasy overcooked, really bad coffee, rotten service more
