You have to go. Like it or not. The chicory coffee is blazing hot. The beignets are perfect. The crowd mostly drunk. The floor is filthy, the bathroom is even worse. The staff, let's just say they were definitely from New Orleans. I love it. more

8 am on a weekday .What could be better than a cafe au lait and those addictive doughnuts? It's pure traditional New Orleans ; gotta do it at least once if you're in town. And it's really CHEAP! more

Where can you get great coffee drinks, fresh hot donuts, and world-class entertainment for two for under $10? You have to stop at Cafe du Monde any time you are in New Orleans! more
