About this business
This French-market coffee stand, established in 1862, offers a menu of dark coffee with chicory, beignets, white or chocolate milk and freshly-squeezed orange juice. Cafe Du Monde is one of the most popular and the oldest of its kind in New Orleans. You may have to wait for a table in the busy morning hours owing to its famous breakfast menu. While the coffee is certainly good, most people come for the famous, fresh-from-the-fryer beignets. They are brought to your table in such a hurry that they are still hot when you take ... read more

Only for the tourists – 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, but it is one of those places that it is better to say you have been to than the actual experience.
Live Sax for breakfast – The beignets and cafe au lait is great. But the real thrill is the live music played on the sidewalk at the enterance. DON'T WEAR DARK CLOTHES!!!!
Cafe du Monde – I was in New orleans two summers ago. Best choice for breakfast in the french quarter. Especially the beingnets, great for a hangover and the coffee is wonderful. Good place to people watch also. It is quite nice, outdoor and covered, and will not put a dent in your wallet.
not just fried doughnuts,BENGEITS!! – sure everyone complains about the service,but you don't have to sit and wait for service.Place a to go order in the take out line.Half the wait,take your bengeits in a paperbag and go sit on a bench or by the river and enjoy the great coffee and bengeits.I promise you won't be disappointed!Take it from a frequent N.O. visitor who makes it a point to stop by everytime.
French Quartered – Sacre bleu with the Cafe du Monde. Touted as a must, the service was a bust. The wait staff did exactly that--make us wait for a half hour before getting so much as a "What will you have to drink" let alone a smile.
Thanks, but no thanks! – The worst service I have ever received. We sat for twenty minutes before anyone bothered to take our order. During this time, we asked waitresses if they could help us and they all responded with "I'm not your waitress." We will not return!
It's Not Suppose to Be Commander's – If you don't like confectioner's sugar to be on your clothes, seat, or table; if you don't like the people who are serving you to always have a negative attitude; if you don't like noise, then this is not the place for you. But if you like those wonderful little French donuts, fresh coffee, and a table to looks out on the many different folks that make up New Orleans, then this is the place. Every time we come to New Orleans, my wife and I make one or two stops by here each day no matter ... read more
I cannot believe this – Ok, let's get one thing straight. I grew up in New Orleans, so I am allow to say this. This is not a place for breakfast. Does it have Frnch donuts? Yes, but that does not consitute a breakfast joint. There are other wonderful places to go to breakfast that didn't even make this list. Mother's restaurant is great. So is Brennen's if you have the cash. I recommed the eggs benedict. But for the love of god and all things holy, don't go to Cafe du Monde for breakfast. You can do so much better. But at 3a... read more
MMMMMM, beignets! – My husband and I had a great breafast of beignets and cafe au lait here. Everything was delicious and very inexpensive. A little crowded, but I suppose that's the norm. Keepsakes from CDM are cheaper here or at their store across the street than we found them at other souvenir places. A good bet in every way.
