This is my absolute favorite part of New Orleans. The beignets are amazing. Hot and messy! Don't expect to leave this place clean. The place is a mess and the servers are a little crazy, but its right in the middle of the french quarter and has nonstop business. What do you expect? Its all part of the french quarter atmosphere.

I stumbled upon Cafe Du Monde as I was in town for work. There was a musical group playing outside on the patio and I thought it would be a good idea to relax my tourism weary feet, and have a cup of coffee before I headed back to my hotel for the night. I walked on the patio where ...

Even if you are just getting the coffee it is always fun to watch young kids take their first bite into the beniets without knowing they should shake off the powder sugar before hand. It is just really relaxed and usually there is a street musician nearby that makes the experiance that much more authentic of the cities history.
