A must in NOLA. Beignets were great. Line was not.
Quote: Cafe Du Monde was on our must see list in New Orleans, and we're glad we went. It was a bit rainy and the line was very long, but it did move fast. It allowed us time to take some pictures of the surrounding area. The seating was a bit crazy. There... Read the full Cafe Du Monde review

Quote: This is the place for the best coffee and beignets. The cafe au lait is their most popular coffee. It's coffee and steamed milk. The beignets are French donuts. They are hot and fresh at Cafe du Monde. Thinking about them is making me salivate right... Read the full Cafe Du Monde review

Café du Monde
Quote: This is a world-famous coffee-and-donut stand. The beignets are, of course, the standard by which all others are judged. The coffee was excellent and the people-watching fun. Go early, though, as after about 8am, it starts filling up.
