Cafe Du Monde

We were visiting Lakeside Shopping Center and wanted to have beignets at Cafe Du Monde. Beignets were very good and up to their standard. Service was fast and friendly. You can pay with a credit card here (it is cash only at the original location in the French Quarter). Nice to be able to get this treat while spending time at the mall.

My first experience at a Cafe Du Monde was at this location a few days ago. The staff was extremely kind and the environment was calm even though it is located inside the mall. It was a good break from the mall environment and super cute! The beignets were delicious, I can understand why they are a staple! Thank you for your kind hospitality to the Cafe Du Monde staff at this location! We appreciate you all!

lol we were the only ones that recently ordered beignets and heard one of the workers in the back say that the accidentally burnt our batch. The cashier looked at us and said, “that’s fine,” then proceeded to serve them to us. Tasted overdone and were flat as hell. What even was this interaction?

The beignet and chicory coffee were both very good. We enjoyed the food, but the service was not particularly impressive. Also, it’s a much smaller branch compared to the original store, so the atmosphere was also not as great as the one in the downtown New Orleans.

When in Rome... The beignets are very good. We had our first ones about a week ago & would definitely go back for more, especially if they decide to expand into North Idaho. The chicory coffee was great, I liked it better than Starbucks drip coffee. A must, especially for first time New Orleans visitors. Don't feel you HAVE to try the French Quarter location, they have locations within a reasonable drive of the airport.
