You can't beat Cafe du Monde for value and atmosphere. more on igougo

Don't wear black when you eat here because you are sure to be covered in powdered sugar! more on CitySearch

Been to Cafe du Monde twice and enjoyed the experience both times. more on TripAdvisor

Its simple menu consists of dark roasted Coffee and Chicory or French Roast, iced coffee, plain and chocolate milk, freshly squeezed orange juice, soft drinks, and beignets, which are an absolute must, calories and carbs be damned. more on We8There

This culture rich area is filled with some of the best restaurants in the country. more on Yahoo! Travel

This all outdoor place can get hot and street noisy, but it is all worth it for the delicious beignets. Service can sometimes be slow; go when you are ready to take a break and are ... more on TripAdvisor

A must during a visit to New Orleans. Lines looked long but we were seated in a decent amount time. It's your job to sit yourself, so while in line all parties should be vigilant looking for the best ... more on TripAdvisor

This place is not fancy and in fact, you must prepare to sit at half cleaned table occupied by previous most likely out of town customers. You must be quite lucky if you can get a table within 10-15 m ... more on TripAdvisor

Why is Cafe du Monde such a draw to people? I really don't get it! The place was packed with people when we got there, looking out on nothing really worth looking at, old or aesthetic. The tables were ... more on TripAdvisor

Very crowded and hectic over Memorial weekend. Long wait for either a table or carry out. Service is very poorly organized. Cost is inexpensive ... more on TripAdvisor

Jam packed almost all day every day. Definitely don't do a morning around 9. the people playing music and doing balloon animals coupled ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The outdoor seating was a bit dated and old. The indoor seating looked nice, though. I ordered an iced cafe au lait and it was tasteless and watery. The beignets were just okay, but a bit on the greasy side. A good ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We visited the Cafe 3 times in a day and a morning. The first was the full experience of the beignets and cafe au lait. Powdered sugar was everywhere. The beignets came out hot and fluffy, piled high with powdered sugar. What a culinary ... more on Yahoo! Travel

A really great location. Perfect for just watching the crowds, the mules/buggy rides, the musicians (though, sadly, they are rather scarce since the city changed after the hurricane) and the people ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This is the place for people-watching! Try to get a table near the railing. Don't miss the frozen coffee - it's pure caffeine. Wow! The chicory coffee is wonderful, too. Most people try the beignets, which are just fried dough with ... more on Yahoo! Travel

If you are in New Orleans, no one should leave without trying a beignet. The best place to get some from is Cafe Du Monde. A beignet ... more on igougo

We stopped at Cafe Du Monde to have some French beignets. The beignets come out to your table hot and covered with powdered ... more on igougo

I think almost anytime you mention New Orleans to someone, one of the top three things they associate with the city would have to be ... more on igougo

The Café du Monde was established in 1862 and has been a New Orleans landmark ever since. No visit to New Orleans would be complete ... more on igougo

On a trip to New Orleans, you have to stop, at least once (possibly many more times), at the Cafe du Monde. Their beignets, a fried ... more on igougo
