Cafe du Monde

New Orleans, LA


The Horror! Another coffee shop? Ok not just another one... It is THE coffee shop of New Orleans.


Shops on the way to Cafe du Monde


When I lived in Houston a few years ago, Beignets were on my top 5 list of "Things I missed from New Orleans", right next to Crawfish Boils. Living back in the city, a lot of the locals take Cafe Du Monde for granted.. I am one of them. With locations in the malls and all around the city.. it's easy to overlook them. Then I remebered the crappy Beignets served in Texas.. so I decided to visit the French Quarter one afternoon.



The Original Location..



Beignets and Iced Coffee!



Inside the Beignet! lol


If you've never had one, do not go to "New Orleans Beignets" or "Crappy Beignets" or "Whatever beignets", go to the Cafe Du Monde! The beignets have a soft, slightly crisp exterior with a dense, warm interior and topped with powdered sugar! And it's just really good! lol


Iced Chicory Coffee =)



Inside... large and comfortable..

Ok.. ideally (with such a high profile place) you expect the inside to be fairly clean and the service to be spectacular.. it's not all that when it comes to decor and service. So if you don't care about those things, you will enjoy the food and coffee. And the ambience is wonderfully New Orleans! Surrounded by the French architecture, you can't help but be put into a "chill" state of mind. Use the complimentary water to wash your hands. (not for drinking)
