Such delicious sweet beignets. The beignets were fresh, hot and fluffy. The coffee was also absolutely delicious. It is a must stop spot in NOLA. There are few locations but we glad we choose this one. Not too busy or crowded. Service is great and fast. Ordering is easy. The place is clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating is available. The park and greenery around is so beautiful and many scenic places to see.

Amazing beignets and frozen mocha on a hot day. We enjoyed our visit, although service could have been a little better. We will still return!

If you know about Cafe Du Monde, you know what to expect, coffee and beignets.Service was fast and friendly, coffee was pretty good, not the best ever but definitely good. We went on a Wednesday so expect crowds when its really busy.

Delicious sweet beignets and yummy coffee! It is a must stop and try spot while in NOLA. This is their second location and I am glad we choose this one.It is not that crowded like in the Jackson Square and customer service is super nice and quick.This location has a fine restroom and outdoor and indoor seating area. Prices are moderate but the quality so worth it!

All the Olé and bignets and none of the downtown crowd! Plus the sculpture garden is absolutely enthralling!

Very busy and popular place. A must try. During the morning time is a nice time to come. The music from the local artists in the area is good.The lines are incredibly large to eat in but they do take a take out window for beignets and coffee and the weight is shorter.

New experience for me. They are tasty little things but kinda messy! Grabbed a box of mix; well try them when we get home.

Honestly, the place is over hyped. I went to the one in City Park so it was only 10 minutes or so to get through the line(BONUS). Its a fairly cheap tourist trap so it is still worth it if youre not waiting for half an hour or hour. The staff is very very friendly. I wish I could get this coffee taste out of my mouth.

Delicious beignets with cup of chicory coffee latte.What’s not to like. I don’t remember when last time I had chicory coffee.Plus this location right in the park. With oldest threes and New Orleans museum art.

I cant speak high enough of the quality and the experience that I had here. The quality of the service was amazing as of course were the beignettes and coffee, served fresh to order. Definitely a must and is great for the family being located within the beautiful city park

This place is out of control!! While standing next to my table eating a funnel cake (beignet) an employee approached me telling me to put my mask on. I politely told him while holding my coffee, my funnel cake and with powdered sugar all over my lips and shirt (I’m eating and drinking) After third time of politely telling him I’m eating and drinking I hade to rudely tell him to leave me alone 3 times!This place is one of those places that has us pushing their own agenda ref Covid.

I had an interesting experience, the mayor of New Orleans and says that you have to have a covid identification or negative test to get inside, I had the latter, and a manager rushes over to the man admitting me and said oh shes one of those and he said yes, we know for sure that she doesnt have covid but the people that have been vaccinated we dont know for sure...

This places is honestly overhyped for what it was. Ive had better beignets in Savannah, Ga. Maybe the one on Decatur is better.

Review №25

This park was stunning! Lush scenery and so many trails, playgrounds, picnic areas!! So much to see and do here! Baseball areas, soccer fields, Story Land was amazing! I totally wish we had something as gorgeous as this park back in my part of Texas! My son and I both agree, we’re definitely coming back here one day. There is so much to see and do! I fell in love with this park!

Highly recommend this location. Same old, classic beignets, but way less busier and crowded than the French Quarter location. Plenty of free parking too! In addition, you get to enjoy your beignets while admiring the greenery around you.

This is a really nice location inside the botanical garden area and between the museum. Its fairly large and the establishment is well kept. The staff here is really nice, especially Henry! Beignets are always consistently fresh and hot. 💙

Cafe Du Monde is our must have when we visit New Orleans. Delicious beignets and cafe au leit and friendly service always.

Review №33

The mocha was unbearably sweet, and pre-made so they could not make it any less sweet.Everything is served in what looks like dollar tree cups.Freshly squeezed orange juice is actually from a jug: false advertisement.The workers are nice, nothing to say about them. Just the quality of the product is mediocre and I wish the managers/owners would put quality to the forefront, saying they took out Morning Call which had higher quality product and saying they are in a prime location.They could do better.

This is our favorite location to get the iconic beignets and coffee. I love watching them make the beignets fresh and they are so good fresh out of the frier. The staff is efficient and friendly. Being in the middle of the park just makes everything better!

Wonderful staff and wonderful beignets. A local suggested we go here for less of a crowd and the same food so we did and loved it. Seemed super peaceful only a few people there.My son loved that the park was right there as well so he could run around while we enjoyed the food!

Review №39

I brought my niece here while hanging out in City Park one morning. The actual building/set up is nice and there’s a lot of socially distant outdoor seating. There’s something about the original Cafe du Monde that the other locations can’t duplicate. The beignets just don’t taste the same. As I was eating my big, doughy beignets, all I could think about was how much I miss Morning Call! The 3 big beignets were crammed in a tiny bag and I couldn’t get the powdered sugar to distribute properly. I love City Park but will pass on this Cafe du Monde location.

A friend and I went on the famous City and Cemetery Bus Tour, and this is one of the stops we made. It is a gorgeous location and I hope to be back here again in the future!The coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde are truly something else, now that I am home I wish I could go back and have them one more time.I highly recommend this cute little cafe!

Yummy fresh beignets with so much powered sugar, oh my jeeeeez! The staff is pleasant and efficient even with large crowds. The seating area holds enough people, even with a influx of customers and there’s also seating outside. Beautiful scenery in City Park and a nearby playground for the kiddos.

Its a little quieter up here than down by the french quarter. There may be better beignets but Cafe DuMonde is still something that you have to go to. Its a classic for a reason. Still delicious and the iced coffee was very good.

The beignets were so fresh and fluffy with plentiful amounts of powdered sugar. The frozen coffee was so amazing and flavorful while keeping you cool during the hotter days. Amazing view to enjoy a New Orleans classic.

You get to see how they make the beignets here! I probably shouldnt say, but the line is almost non-existing. Plus you get to sit in a nice park afterward.

Review №55

Its basically a Cafe Du Monde location in New Orleans City Park. I think this one is actually less crowded on average than the main one in the French Quarter, and its the same beignets and coffee.

J
Review №56

Nice place, friendly service clean open and comfortable environment. However, I didnt enjoy the beignets, they just didnt live up the hype. I imagined hot fresh silky smooth melt in your mouth beignets, I eat 1 and tossed the rest. The coffee drinks were good and enjoy that. Boy that gift shop had some cute tourist stuff but the prices were Ridiculously high. All in all, I wouldnt recommend or return.

This was a great stop! Right in the middle of the beautiful City Park. No lines. Clean restrooms. Even great souvenir options (more than in the French Quarter). Basically a quieter, more picturesque location.

Review №68

This is a great spot to meet for a first date before a stroll in the park. You might just find true love, or at a minimum youll enjoy a giant iced mocha (seriously, their large is massive).

The best place in the area to get a great Beignets! You can watch them being made while waiting in line. The amount of powdered sugar is almost overwhelming, yet when you eat it, it doesnt seem overly sweet. Awesome place, in a great location. Highly recommend for a quick snack.

Review №71

Cafe Du Monde is over priced and over rated. Lorettas praline stuffed beignets are where its at!

Da
Review №72

This Cafe Du Monde is located in a great place, City Park. A park with beautiful old growth trees - centuries old. The building was neat with interesting architecture. The wait is shorter at this location, and for this reason alone, I fully recommend it over any French Quarter location. On the beignets, a cross between a donut and a bagel. Not as sweet as a donut and not as chewy as a bagel. The coffee is good.Final thoughts: Would I wait in line for a block for one of these? No, I would not. Good to try, yes. I rate this particular location in City Park four stars for location and coffee. The beignets themselves: Three stars for being neutral - neither bad or good, middle of the road.

Came here while taking a bus tour of the city. Lines were long, which was expected, but it moved quickly. It can be confusing figuring out which line to get in so it would be better if they use signage to indicate order lines and pickup lines.

Can be a bit touristy and overrun but I guess that’s unavoidable. But service is quick and friendly for the most part and there is just something great about getting a bag of beignets and just watching people in the park.

Review №81

Perfect place for a snack and drink while in City Park. But if youre coming to NOLA for the 1st time, it simply is not the same as the original in the French Quarter. Please do yourselves the favour of making the pilgrimage and have the real experience! You can also watch them make the beignets through a window behind the store. Tons of fun for the kids...or it was for me when I was a kid, fwiw...

Coffee and food taste really good... no complaints on that, but the customer service is the worst I have experienced in New Orleans. Be ready for some rude answers and people unwilling to give the extra mile with simple actions!

Family got coffee (kid Sprite) and Beignets. Fresh and was a good location. Good place for kids to play, walking, pond with paddle swans. There are ducks, Canadian Geese and squirrels to watch and feed.

Review №85

So glad that Cafe Du Monde is connected with City Park now. However, I understand that it gets truly busy, but the restrooms were or have been dirty. Every toilet has deposits inside (which I voluntarily flushed). It looked as if it sat for some time, paper on the floor and sinks with paper inside. It is just mindful to keep a check on the restrooms to keep germs and sicknesses away.

I used to go here frequently but not anymore.Today, the employee checking COVID-19 vaccination cards wasnt wearing her mask, and the manager told me she doesnt have to because shes outside. You dont even have to wear yours. Thats true, but unprofessional.I was wearing my mask and I think Cafe Du Mondes employees should too. I wont go back until they address this issue.

It’s been about two decades since my wife and I have had a beignet and coffee in New Orleans. Today we had the privilege of returning to New Orleans to enjoy a beignet with our daughter. We all loved the taste and quality of the product, and look forward to returning soon with our son. Highly recommend!

Famous for a reason....the coffee is mind blowing. If youre a sugar lover like me, I would recommend the iced or frozen coffee. The beignets tasted like the best funnel cake Ive ever had...but you might need to bring a seafood boil bib to eat them🤣

Beignets were good. My husband and I shared one portion which was definitely enough. We had the frozen latte and frozen mocha. He liked his mocha, but for me the latte was too sweet. It tasted like they add a lot of sugar.
