Reviews for Cafe Du Monde - City Park in New Orleans, LA
Stumbled into this cafe while taking a walk in City Park. We ended up stopping in and ordering the common New Orleans Beignets... (first time in NO). They were super good and it reminded me of a similar treat my mom would make us when we were kids (we arefrom Europe). Also, the staff and service was great. The coffee selection also looked great. Definitely worth a stop if you'rein City Park. Read more
Wonderful beignets and atmosphere! Everything is kept so tidy. Service was incredibly fast. This location is easy to access in... city park and had no line. Read more
I was told while I was down there to try the Beignets. They were almost like fried dough but different. They were good. The... staff was friendly, dressed in white with a black bow-tie. The park was really nice too. The restaurant had both an in/outdoorpatio where you can drink coffee and enjoy your treats. They came in a set of 3's for about $3.25 or so. There was tones ofpowdered sugar in the bag incase you needed it. Line can be a bit long with a wait time of about 2 hours. We got there inperfect timing as the lines were not that long as all. Overall, great experience. Read more
The line was long but moved fast and thank god because it was pouring raining but there was plenty of seats for the big crowd... consistently coming in. I loved my yummy powdered delectable and my coffee. I mean it's nothing overly exciting about thebeignets but it's a NOLA staple so try it for sure for the yummy experience. Read more
We stopped here on a city tour. So happy! My husband waited in line - there are two to choose from. One line goes into the... building, so you can get a better view through the glass of them making the beignets. The other line is usually shorter, it isin the covered outdoor seating section. He waited about 5-10 minutes to order. We each ordered the set of 3 beignets. Wehonestly could have split a set of 3 since they were pretty big, but hey gotta live a little on vacation. They were sweet, chewyand piping hot. SO AMAZING and everything we hoped for - trying them for the first time. Be careful, the powder sugar can get alittle messy. Personally I think if you rip them up in pieces and put them back in the paper bag they come in and shake the bag,each piece gets covered in more powdered sugar. Makes them even better! Overall the facility was nice, located in such abeautiful park, with bridges, water, grass and outdoor or indoor seating. My only gripe was the women's bathroom had only 3working/equipped stalls out of the 5 or six of them. This caused the line to be quite long. Read more
Way, way better location than the one in the French quarter. Much less busy, much quicker service, and attached to a beautiful... park. Tables were clean and the service was excellent. Everybody was very friendly and the atmosphere was very laid back. Therewas a guitarist playing at the nearby pavilion facing the outdoor tables, which made a very pleasant Saturday morning ofbeignets and cafe aulet. Read more
I adore this place. They have great beignets. Amazing tasting coffee (chicory yum yum!!). The setting is lovely with lots of fun... things super close. Including nature walks, botanical garden, musicians close, a kids play area and the list goes on. My onecomplaint is that they are not food sensitivity friendly. There was no alternative milk options, and no gluten free options.This place is tasty but if you cant handle gluten or dairy stay far far faaar away! Also it should be noted they are quiteexpensive for what you are getting. Read more
After one does Cafe Du Monde in City Park there will be no other. The laid-back sunny day experience, with a sax player in the... background, and plenty of space to move around blended with so much scenic beauty, representative of the classic southernexperience, is NOW the only way to have one's Cafe Au Lait and Beignets. (How's that for a run-on sentence?) Especially withsugared fluffed all over your mouth and shirt. :-) Read more
